request for closing discussion

Would someone kindly close Steward requests/Bot status#Global bot status for KiranBOT and grant the flag on 7 or 13 May UTC? (6 is unlucky number, 7, and 13 are good) The request was created on 19 March. It has been more than 15 days since the mass message was sent. —usernamekiran (talk) 23:12, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Done. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 05:07, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

Allowing temp account IP viewers to enable 2FA

Stewards,

On behalf of the WMF, could you please add the “oathauth-enable” right to the global-temporary-account-viewer group, so that they are consistently able to turn on two-factor authentication in their account?

This will not enforce that 2FA is required for those accounts, but will make it available to those users for them to set up on their own. This is all-upside for user security, and seems unlikely to result in a volume that has an appreciable impact on recovery processes. EMill-WMF (talk) 17:19, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

@EMill-WMF is the on-wiki documentation out of date on Global temporary account IP viewers? It appears this should only be assigned to user that are in groups that already have 2FA enrollment enabled. — xaosflux ^Talk 17:28, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Hmm I enabled it but good question. Will this group be added to anyone who shouldn't already have 2fa enabled? – Ajraddatz (talk) 17:30, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

No objection to this at all, just seemed superfluous. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:15, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

@Ajraddatz @Xaosflux The proximate cause of this request was from this suggestion, which was around making it possible for people who only had 2FA enrollment enabled through local group membership, to enable it from any wiki and not just the wiki they had extended rights on. EMill-WMF (talk) 18:18, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, again not a problem - was mostly seeing if this was a "do x (because of y that I know about, and assume that you know about - but you don't know about it....)" sort of thing!

New zhwiki SPI Clerk Candidate: Aqurs1

Hello all again,

I would like to present a new Chinese Wikipedia SPI clerk candidate Aqurs1. Per local consensus, all new clerk candidates after obtaining local support must be submitted to Steward Noticeboard for review to provide stewards an opportunity to evaluate the candidate. If no stewards have shown opposition over the next 7 days, the candidate Aqurs1 will assume position as a local SPI clerk.

I would like to personally invite some stewards who have been actively assisting zhwiki SPI requests on SRCU @XXBlackburnXx, Sotiale, AramilFeraxa, and EPIC:, but for the others, please don't hesitate to share your thoughts as well! $\int$（☎） 18:58, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

No opposition from my part. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 05:09, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

The Iranian Wikimedians User Group results

Dear @User:Yahya and @User:علاء

Hi

The Iranian Wikimedians User Group Election has been held. Given the willingness to cooperate, hold, and review the results in this message, please proceed to review the results.

With the best regards.

Hootan Dolati Hootandolati (talk) 20:41, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

@Hootandolati I assume you meant to write 'UG election' instead of 'ArbCom election'? What were the minimum voting requirements? ~ Yahya (talk • contribs) 20:41, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

yes. I'm so sorry.

Iranian Wikimedians User Group is correct.

The winners of the elections have more votes in favor, and there is no minimum vote, but the person who has obtained the most votes according to this formula:

The voting will be conducted publicly, and participants are only allowed to vote either in favor or against each candidate. The top five candidates who receive the highest number of votes will be elected as members of the Board of Trustees. To be eligible for election, candidates must receive at least 60% of the votes, calculated as the number of favorable votes divided by the total number of favorable and opposing votes. After this threshold is met, candidates will be ranked based on the difference between favorable and opposing votes, and the top five will be elected to the Board. In the event of a tie in the vote difference between the fifth and sixth candidates, the one with the higher number of favorable votes will be selected.

  I found my answer here. @Hootandolati My review is complete, and everything looks good to me. Do we need to sign anywhere to confirm the voting result? ~ Yahya (talk • contribs) 18:56, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Yahya, Where and how did you review the results? I find things unclear to me --Alaa :)..! 19:48, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi @User:علاء. What is unclear? Can I explain? Hootandolati (talk) 22:00, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks Hootandolati (talk) 21:59, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

@Yahya @علاء Please add your signatures here to verify the results. Best Darafsh (talk) 15:14, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello Darafsh as I mentioned above, until now, I still don't understand how to review the results. Therefore, I can't sign now. --Alaa :)..! 19:52, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Dear @علاء

I will explain it to you in detail.

A -This is the general rule:

The voting will be conducted publicly, and participants are only allowed to vote either in favor or against each candidate. The top five candidates who receive the highest number of votes will be elected as members of the Board of Trustees. To be eligible for election, candidates must receive at least 60% of the votes, calculated as the number of favorable votes divided by the total number of favorable and opposing votes. After this threshold is met, candidates will be ranked based on the difference between favorable and opposing votes, and the top five will be elected to the Board. In the event of a tie in the vote difference between the fifth and sixth candidates, the one with the higher number of favorable votes will be selected.

B - 9 people participated in this election. According to the table on the page, these people had the highest votes. The calculation is as follows: The final vote of each person = the vote in favor - the vote against.

For example, based on this table, Ladsgroup has 19 votes in favor and 1 vote against, so its final number of votes is calculated as 18. Also, considering that each person must obtain at least 60% of the votes in favor, it means that it has obtained 18 divided by 19 (94.7%).

1- Darafsh

2- Ladsgroup

3- Arash

4- Arash.pt

5- Arian

This list is the top 5 selected people who received the most votes according to the formula above.

I hope this explanation helps. Hootandolati (talk) 21:02, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

@علاء It’s simple — just check the list of candidates here, then click on any name to see the votes they received. Some votes are struck through because they didn’t meet the eligibility requirements. please let me know if you need translation or any other questions. Darafsh (talk) 20:36, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
