Millosh[edit]

I need admin permissions on Meta for dealing with the project Mass content adding. The basic method for all of the work will be this wiki, including versioning of the software. Because of that, some pages should be locked (like the list of approved software and data contributors). I was admin and bureaucrat on Serbian Wikipedia, but, according to our rules, I can't be admin/bureaurcrat if I want to have Checkuser permission on Serbian Wikipedia. (In the next couple of days I should get Checkuser permission.) Also, I am Wikipedian since December 2003. My request for Meta adminship on Serbian Wikipedia can be found here. --Millosh 09:56, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. A great project :-) --Elephantus 20:53, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Abstain, at the moment. Since your request appears to be related only with protection and unprotection of the subpages of a single project, maybe you should request it on the "Requests for temporary sysophood", as stated on Meta:Administrators#Exceptions. --M/ 21:13, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • First of all, I didn't think to ask for adminship. However, I realized that I would have a lot of asks for page protection and adding content into protected pages. The problem with temporary adminship is that I don't think that project will be temporary (I expect the first results through 3-6 months). Also, if project grows, it will need separate wiki. BTW, I am (maybe just temporary) admin on sr: again because of the conversion software implemented on Serbian Wikipedia (like Chinese) -- I have to deal with special (locked) pages there. --Millosh 21:34, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your answer. It seems that your case is similar to those mentioned here: Temporary sysoping of the user in question so they can edit the protected pages. In this case, the adminship shall be granted with no requirements and approval, but the user will promise to limit their activity to the necessity of their local project. Preferably, the admin status will be temporary. I am in favour of a temp adminship lasting as long as needed, unless you can help with other general admin tasks on meta wiki. --M/ 11:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK. If it is the right way, it would be good enough. There are no problems with not using admin permission outside the projcet (or the projects, because it seems that there is a sense to make some project compatable with Mass content adding); if it is possible, I would like to get not temporary adminship (i.e. not to ask from time to time for adminship again). --Millosh 10:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine. If you are willing to act as an administrator on the whole project, I think the community will support your request. I'm afraid that otherwise we're going to end up with a list of sysops that are only concerned each with a definite part of the project. This can have a side effect when people have to seek for admin intervention. --M/ 14:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have any problem to act as an admin of the whole project; i.e., if I need something to get, I am willing to give something, too :) I just would like not to block contributors (except they are clear vandals). Helpin in technical issues is OK for me. --Millosh 15:23, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
