Personal info: Hello. This is my sixth confirmation. During last year I was active dealing with requests mostly on SRG and various other tasks from time to time (around 2,750 steward action in 2023). In addition, I used my steward access for fighting cross-wiki abuse/vandals/spammers and LTAs. Over the past year, I'm being active on SRG (especially global un/block), GSR, Global AbuseFilter, help on SRUC complicated requests and other tasks. Also, I cooperated with local CUs and sysops to solve cross-wiki issues.
Generally(CentralAuth), I'm bureaucrat, sysop and checkuser on Arabic Wikipedia, and sysop on multiple projects (especially Wikidata, Commons and Meta) -home projects avoided-. Over the years, I have made more than 540K edits on Wikimedia wikis.
I would be happy to continue for another term. If you have any questions or comments or suggestions, I would be glad to hear them. Thank you --Alaa :)..! 21:06, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

المعلومات الشخصية: مرحبًا. هذا التأكيد السادس لي في تأكيدات المضيفين. كُنت خلال العام الماضي نشيطًا في التعامل مع الطلبات غالبًا في المنع والإغلاق عالميًا، وغيرها من المهام الأخرى من وقتٍ لآخر (حوالي 2,750 عمل خلال عام 2023). أيضًا، استعملت صلاحيتي مُضيفًا في مُكافحة التخريب/الإساءة/السبام عبر الويكيات والمشاريع المُختلفة، بالإضافة لمتابعة المستخدمين طويلي مدة الإساءة. خلال العام الماضي، كان نشاطي في طلبات المنع والإغلاق (خصوصًا طلبات المنع)، وطلبات الإداريين العالميين، ومرشحات الإساءة العالمية والمساعدة في طلبات تغيير الأسماء المعقدة وعددٍ من المهام الأُخرى. أيضًا، كنت قد تعاونت مع عددٍ من مدققي المستخدم المحليين والإداريين لحل بعض الإشكالات عبر الويكيات.
عمومًا(التحقق المركزي)، أنا بيروقراط وإداري ومدقق مستخدم في ويكيبيديا العربية، وإداري في عددٍ من المشاريع الأُخرى (خصوصًا ويكي بيانات وكومنز) -يجب تجنب المشاريع الأم-. خلال السنوات، قمت بأكثر من 540 ألف تعديل في جميع مشاريع ويكيميديا.
سأكون سعيدًا بالاستمرار لفترةٍ أُخرى مضيفًا في مشاريع ويكيميديا. إذا كان لديك أي أسئلة أو تعليقات أو اقتراحات، سأكون سعيدًا لسماعها. شكرًا لكم --Alaa :)..! 21:06, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Informazioni personali: Ciao. Questa è la mia sesta riconferma. Nell'ultimo anno mi sono occupato delle richieste principalmente su SRG e di tanto in tanto di vari altri compiti (circa 2.750 azioni come steward nel 2023). Inoltre, ho utilizzato il mio accesso da steward per combattere abusi/vandali/spammer e LTA su più wiki. Nell'ultimo anno sono stato attivo su SRG (soprattutto sblocco/blocco globale), GSR, Global AbuseFilter, cercando di essere d'aiuto su SRUC per richieste complesse e altre attività. Inoltre, ho collaborato con CU e sysop locali per risolvere problemi cross-wiki.
Globalmente(CentralAuth), sono burocrate, sysop e checkuser su Wikipedia araba e sysop su più progetti (in particolare Wikidata, Commons e Meta) -evitando azioni su home wiki-. Nel corso degli anni ho apportato più di 540.000 modifiche ai wiki Wikimedia.
Sarei felice di continuare per un altro mandato. Se avete domande, commenti o suggerimenti, sarei felice di ascoltarli. Grazie--Alaa :)..! 21:06, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thông tin cá nhân: Xin chào. Đây là lần xác nhận thứ sáu của tôi. Trong năm ngoái, tôi đã tích cực giải quyết các yêu cầu chủ yếu trên SRG và nhiều công việc khác(khoảng 2,750 tác vụ của tiếp viên trong năm 2023). Ngoài ra, tôi đã sử dụng công cụ tiếp viên của mình để chống lại lạm dụng/phá hoại/spambot và LTA liên wiki. Trong năm qua, tôi đã hoạt động tích cực trên SRG (đặc biệt là bỏ cấm/mở khóa toàn cục), yêu cầu BQV toàn cục, xử lý bộ lọc sai phạm toàn cục, hỗ trợ yêu cầu đổi tên người dùng có tính phức tạp và nhiều công việc khác. Ngoài ra, tôi đã làm việc với nhiều BQV và KĐV địa phương trong việc giải quyết các vấn đề liên wiki.
Nhìn chung(Đăng nhập trung ương), tôi là một HCV, KĐV và BQV trên Wikipedia tiếng Ả Rập, và là BQV của nhiều dự án (đặc biệt là Wikidata, Commons và Meta) -home projects avoided-. Trong những năm qua, tôi đã thực hiện hơn 540K sửa đổi trên các wiki của Wikimedia.
Tôi rất vui được tiếp tục được làm tiếp viên thêm một nhiệm kỳ nữa. Nếu bạn có bất kỳ câu hỏi hoặc nhận xét hoặc đề xuất nào, tôi sẽ rất vui khi nghe chúng. Xin cảm ơn --Alaa :)..! 21:06, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~Question:~~ @علاء: What was your involvement in removing from public view the usernames of the editors who installed a mass-logout script in the Arabic Wikipedia's common.js file? — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 17:50, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Red-tailed hawk, sysop-level hide per community request. I'm sysop on Arabic Wikipedia --Alaa :)..! 19:40, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the quick reply. I do have one follow-up question @Alaa: Did you, at any point, add content to the common.js script or otherwise modify any script on the Arabic Wikipedia that resulted in users being unexpectedly logged out from their accounts? My assumption here is no, because you revdel'd the edits, but I do want to double-check. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 19:48, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify as to why I am asking: I find the use of an enforced logout script (as opposed to something like a custom edit filter) as both reckless (inasumch as it would potentially expose IPs) and an extraordinary overreach by a local wiki (inasmuch as it logged people out of global accounts). The means of conducting the blackout were not well thought-through, and the implementation of that script honestly did jeopardize user privacy. If the answer is "no, I did not implement the mass-logout script", then I would be happy to support keeping. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 19:59, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Red-tailed hawk, sorry to say, but it's not that simple, because I tried to fix/remove the script per this request. I helped in my capacity as arwiki interface administrator. Also, I mentioned in the SMR regarding arwiki discussion, that "I did not participate in the discussion (due to personal circumstances)" --Alaa :)..! 20:25, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@علاء Could you comment on what options you chose (in the revdel form) during revdelling the edits you mentioned above ? I'm pretty sure the edits have been oversighted (two strikes over a piece of information tends to indicate oversighted data on MediaWiki wikis). Sohom (talk) 20:11, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sohom Datta: The oversight came only after the revdels, by a different user, if I'm understanding them correctly. There was a log of the revdels at [1] which can be confirmed by looking at the internet archive or archive.today, but the log itself has since been revdel'd. I'm satisfied when the user says that they performed a sysop-level hide. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 20:16, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sohom, as mentioned above, that my action is a "sysop-level hide" not an "oversight". --Alaa :)..! 20:24, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Red-tailed hawk Oh right, point taken. I had interpreted the answer differently and though they were refering to the singular action of removing the edits from public view. (I was not aware of the seperate revdel logs). Sohom (talk) 20:22, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep The user is not the one who first installed the mass-logout script, and I frankly can't hold the rest against them. They've been transparent here about their role, and they are an active Steward. That the script was not immediately disabled as an emergency action is regrettable, particularly so after several alternatives were very quickly presented, but I don't think it's enough to warrant removal for a Steward who has contributed so much to the community. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 20:46, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'd rather keep the neutrality and logout script issues separate from Alaa's conduct as a steward - the latter is what we're focusing on and I can't find any issues there. The other issues are relevant to the ar.wiki community as a whole, and it would be inappropriate for that to effect Alaa (after all, it's not like he decides them per se).

Remove I am sorry, but I have often encountered suspicious activity by him on the Arabic Wikipedia. For example, the site was recently blocked from editing for 24 hours and disconnected all users, which it took part in (and hiding any username that was related to the matter, against the policy).

@علاء is not an involved party in that case. Please be careful before you vote. Lemonaka (talk) 10:08, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"not an involved party in that case"? And what about deleting the name of the sysop who deleted the name of the user who did the action[2]? In addition, if I remember correctly he took part in writing the code in common.js.
I would be happy if علاء (Alaa) would address the matter. Neriah - 💬 - 14:27, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both points (hide + edit the commons.js) already clarified in my reply to Red-tailed hawk question above --Alaa :)..! 03:04, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the action was as an arwiki sysop, does that allow you to hide something from the public eye for no reason?
In addition, the Arabic Wikipedia has not yet returned the politically oriented logo to the old logo (it can be seen that the Hebrew Wikipedia did not do similar things at all, and did not publish support for the State of Israel). This violates the NPOV rules, and as a Steward who is very active on Arabic Wikipedia I would expect you to address this serious offense. Can you explain why you didn't do that?

Keep Alaa plays a pivotal role in resolving issues and fostering communication with external communities, while actively combatting global vandalism. His impartiality in decision-making has earned him the trust of the community. By leveraging his steward access, he contributes significantly to maintaining the integrity and security of Wikimedia projects.

Question: The matters of the script / blackout / banner, etc. on ArWiki bothers me. But, I would prefer not to be drawn into this case, and therefore, to get an honest and deliberately non-specific answer from you: What are the most essential aspects in which being a stewards forces you to be especially careful, even with non-steward actions? I don't care what done in the past until now, only to know your exhaustive principled point of view, and to see if it can confirm what is essential, according to my view, to a steward.
