I am requesting sysop access to both the ca and es Wikinews projects.

I am an admin at the en wikinews, and en/iu wikipedias.

Request denied. December 28 is Feast of the Holy Innocents, which is the Spanish world's equivalent to April Fool's Day, explaining the satirical articles. Bastique 16:17, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Finally the Breton dictionary is on its way (nearly 200 articles). I am the first Sysop which has been elected on the Breton Wikipedia a year ago and I am now requesting sysop status for the Breton wiktionary (Wikeriadur). I need the status to complete the Interface translation and to clean old pages or pages created by mistakes. We are only two on this new project right now and my colleague has "voted" for me!. If we want to attract more users we have to make it look better. I've also translated many pages to Breton on Commons and Meta since 2005.

Thank you in advance. Fulup 18:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Done, sysop rights granted. But you did not provide a link to your request for adminship, and one voter is hardly enough for election. So it's temporary for three months, but please continue the election and report back when more people voted. Happy editing! MaxSem 18:32, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

CheckUser access

Wikipedia English

Regarding wikipedia english; I am requesting CheckUser access. I am currently concentrating on clearing as many backlogs as possible, and I believe that CheckUser would be useful for me to continue this trend. CheckUser access would be strictly in line with my personal neutrality policy (link available upon request at my English user account), and the privacy policy of the Wikimedia Foundation. Experience has already been gained in this area - I am a current standby clerk for the Requests for CheckUser page at Wikipedia en.

The bot had the flag with community consensus to archive about 2 500 articles (however, AmbraBot has never worked due to problems with pyscript). Now I need it to replace some category tags on it.wikinews, and I prefer do not "disturb" in RC. :)

Thank you. --Tooby 23:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Portuguese Wikipedia

I request the removal of my bureaucrat status and checkuser access in the portuguese Wikipedia (see related checkuser access request above).

Thank you. Lusitana 07:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry, its not clear to me what you want. Could you please clearify and confirm your requests as well with proof of identity? (an edit on pt: where you confirm this request) Thanks. Effeietsanders 08:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I confirm the temporary drop of the project wikipedia.gl by motives of health. --Xelo2004 21:54, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Please do that on all four wiki's. That way we can be sure that Xelo2004 on MetaWiki is the same person as Xelo2004 on the galician wikipedia and not an impostor.

Persian Wikipedia

I'm an administrator on persian wikipedia. fa:User:Meelad is a proffesional translator and also the main contributor of GNOME translation into persian. I know him very well. Until now he has translated huge number of messages in their talk pages and administrators copied them into main mediawiki namespace so the process was very slow. Being familiar with BetaWiki project, He needs 48 hours for finishing interface translation on persian wikipedia. We always benefited from granting temporary permissions to trusted people on persian wikipedia. Thanks in advance. Hessam 12:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

There is no local sysop on this project (I saw Category:Wikimedia projects with no local sysop, and there's no community either, so I'll try and help out there. The project is virtually inactive, and I want to try and get this one active again. Also, there's a lot of w/index.php spam which needs deletion too. If I had sysop abilities this could help. WiganRunnerEu 12:24, 26 January 2007 (

How long is the project being inactive? PErhaps it'd be better to lock the wiki then if it's inactive and lots of vandalism. drini [es:] [commons:] 18:46, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I thought it'd be better to give it a shot, and then, if inactive after 3 months, let it get locked. Better to try than not at all. --WiganRunnerEu 23:51, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

User rename requests

Hashikure → 端くれの錬金術師 on Meta and jawq

  • Current name: Hashikure
  • Requested name: 端くれの錬金術師
  • Reason: Previously, I was forced to change my username on enwp because of using non-Latin characters and changed username on all projects. Recently, enwp's username policy was changed and I got my username back. So, I want to get my username back on other projects. Please change my username on meta and jawq. (There is no bureaucrat in jawq)--hashikure 04:37, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Done. I had to rename 端くれの錬金術師 to 端くれの錬金術師2 first, hope you don't mind. --Shanel 05:38, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Miscellaneous requests

Wiktionary and Wikiquote Catalan

I do not know how to request this. If it does not fit here, please say me where it should it be. I would like to request the change of the names of these projects, which currently are in English. This is, when you write {{SITENAME}} in these wikis, it appears "Wiktionary" and "Wikiquote" instead of its Catalan names, and these implies that the namespace "Project:" is also in English. Their Catalan names are these: Wikiquote=Viquidites; and Wiktionary=Viccionary.
