Personal info: I have issues in real life that I don't want to expose here. I'm confident I will come back one day, but I understand if people would vote against my confirmation. Thanks for everybody, Amqui (talk) 23:48, 9 February 2014 (UTC) Note: Prior to the statement's addition, users saw and commented on a placeholder statement.Reply[reply]

Comments about Amqui[edit]

Keep the greatest user on Wikimedia. Vogone talk 18:00, 8 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Remove has been completely inactive since October and did not even create his own statement. I also still hold Peter's view that not creating a confirmation statement should leave to removal, almost regardless of other things, as the user has had a full month to do so. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 18:17, 8 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep I'm OK with Amqui keeping the rights despite being unavailable right now; there could be some good real-life justification in this case. Ajraddatz (Talk) 18:18, 8 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep (weak) if he wants to. My interactions with this user have been very positive, and I am very pleased with their work on- and off- wiki, but it is true he is not very active. PiRSquared17 (talk) 18:24, 8 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Remove Technically Amqui did run into the inactivity policy of stewards, although that policy does not seem to be in force.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:39, 8 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
There are differing interpretations of the inactivity clause of the steward policy and I would say that given we hold yearly reconfirmations it's much easier to just handle it this way. Some day we should take a serious look at removing it. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 06:48, 9 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Personal info: Once again, I am pleased to see that the current body of stewards has, in the main, been able to support the corpus of Wikimedia projects relatively efficiently. I would like to continue supporting the projects as a steward, especially with global renames hopefully arriving this year, as I have years of experience with renames on my home wiki. I will also be serving as a member of the m:Ombudsman commission during 2014. Thank you for your past trust, and I hope to be able to continue to deserve it for this coming year.

Remove I prefer ombudsmen not to serve as stewards during their OC term. Vogone talk 18:01, 8 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Personal info: This is my third steward confirmation, as I've been elected in 2011. I've been quite active during this year of services. I've used the steward tools for various purposes, such as helping with crosswiki deletions and blocks. I also dealt with vandalism and spam and locked and blocked many users and IPs. I also did some right changes, mainly to my own account to prevent more abuse and to remove abusive things, but also changed many other people's rights. I usually help everywhere, where help is needed, on IRC and also on-wiki. If you've any question, just ask me.

Personal info: Hi all, this is my second confirmation as a steward. It has been an honour to serve as a steward for the past two years and a half (roughly). I have been rather inactive during the later part of 2013, overwhelmed with real life commitments. I appreciate the community's trust in the past and I would like to continue serving the community this year. Hopefully I'll be back to active duty in a month or two. Thanks for your support.

Personal info: Hi, I would like to continue helping with steward duties for the next year if the community think that I have contributed as stewards for the past year. Thank you. Addendum: My past roles as stewards has been focused on SRs, and I also stand-by on steward's IRC channel on most days until couple months ago. If I'm confirmed again as a steward, I'm in the process of purchasing a new laptop to replace the broken one, and hopefully using my new machine I could be more active on IRC and answering requests.

Personal info: I plan to continue in the role of steward, if the community is willing to confirm me. I have pretty much undertaken the tasks I said that I would, the majority of it in global spam defences. My mop has been active and consistent in my areas of strength, and I have undertaken activities in other areas as required. Stewards have worked cooperatively and respectfully; as a team sharing the work, sharing advice and requesting assistance as necessary, some robust discussions, and it continues to be a harmonious and pleasant group with whom to work, and I commend them for their passion, diligence and efforts. — billinghurst — billinghurst sDrewth

I must say I do the same everytime I have the possibility. Maybe I missed your point but leaving tons of xrumer-generated accounts is, in best scenario, a breach of our security. --Vituzzu (talk) 17:26, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I trust both you and Billinghurst so I'm pretty sure there's some misunderstanding. --Vituzzu (talk) 19:00, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Interested in the conjunction of ideas by Vogone, account locks are different from global IP blocks, so I am missing that point too, sounds personal. Apart from that the statements are an opinion not supported by fact. I have one of the highest block removal rates. Unblock requests are at SRG, open to all stewards, and visible to users, thoroughly reviewable. Show me a case where I have refused an unblock where I have mistakenly blocked an IP. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:01, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment Contentwise I agree with Vogone. I don't get anything out of locking accounts with no edits who will most likely never edit either (I did that for hundreds of socks in January which were created months ago and will never edit which is why I still don't think that this has been quite useful for Wikimedia); that was completely different a couple of years ago when real spambots created hundereds of index.php pages crosswiki on a daily base. Anyway, it's your time and as long as it doesn't harm anyone, I'm the last one to tell you how to spend your time on. —DerHexer (Talk) 17:03, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
And I am against pointless locking of spambot accounts. The issue is what is pointless? There are numbers of accounts that are locked with zero edits as they have been caught by the abuse filters. There are numerous accounts that are created and spam (and those that attempt to spam) on creation, there are those that are created and haven't spammed, until some of them spam one/two/three/.../six (day|months) later. When I investigating active spam, when I detect the other spambot accounts, 'lock them when you see them' is my approach, rather than go back and have to clean up their mess later. I certainly don't trawl the wikis looking for lonely spambot accounts. Similarly, we have some spambots that go xwiki, and some that do not, some chose to globally lock, and others do not. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:01, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think someone might say it's useless or almost useless but it is harmless for sure. I personally endorse lock on sight of software-generated accounts though the both views about it can peacefully live together ^^

I must also underline the "index.php attack" (along with the "test, just a test" series) was just the preparation of the current ongoing spamming. I don't see any decrease in spam but simply more effective countermeasures. We are currently experiencing a peaceful period in spam because of the strong actions taken by many people including the extraordinary efforts by Billinghurst, Trijnstel, INC, Beetstra, etc. Above all the aggressive spam-pit blocking campaign, the deep inspections on loginwiki, the reactive management of the abusefilter and the solid use of blacklists and COI-bots gave us the incredible results of managing 850 wikis with few then a dozen of incredible volunteers. I don't think any paid webmaster ever made such a complete success on so many *open* wikis. --Vituzzu (talk) 00:03, 17 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Personal info: Since my last confirmation (2013), I've been very active in dealing with spambot accounts and crosswiki vandalism/abuse. I hope to continue working with my fellow stewards (and new stewards) and also focus on more tasks (such as right changes, etc). --Bsadowski1 (talk) 02:41, 12 January 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
