Informationen zur Person: Liebe Kollegen! Ich möchte gerne meine Stewardtätigkeit fortsetzen. Aufgrund meines Studiums konnte ich leider nicht so aktiv innerhalb des letzten Jahres sein, wie ich mir das gewünscht hätte. Ich versuchte allerdings regelmäßg im IRC erreichbar zu sein, um im Speziellen in #cvn-unifications und #wikimedia-stewards auszuhelfen. Betreffs des ersten Kanals tat ich vorwiegend Oversightaktionen, auch als temporärer Oversight in der französischsprachigen Wikipedia. Andererseits kümmerte ich mich um diese Anfrage, die in den Stewardkanal getragen wurden; an dieser Stelle möchte ich bei allen Helfern bedanken. Insgesamt habe ich ungefähr 2000 geloggte Stewardaktion auf meta während des letzten Jahres getätigt, und höchstwahrscheinlich noch mehr Admin- und besonders Oversightaktionen in lokalen Wikis, die ich allerdings nicht gezählt habe, die aber in den Statistiken nachgelesen werden können. Liebe Grüße, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:13, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Personal info: Hi folks! I would like to continue working as a steward. Because of my studies in RL I unfortunally could not be as active during the last year as I would have liked to. But I tried to be frequently available on IRC to help out esp. on #cvn-unifications and #wikimedia-stewards. Concerning the first one I mostly did oversight related stuff, also as temporary oversight on frwiki. On the other hand, I managed those requests which were taken to the steward channel; in this context I'd like to thank all those helpers! All in all I did about 2,000 logged steward actions on meta during the last year, and highly likely even more sysop and esp. oversight actions on local wikis which I haven't counted but can be partially seen in the stats. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:13, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Προσωπικές πληροφορίες: Γεια σας! Θα ήθελα να συνεχίσω να εργάζομαι ως επίτροπος. Λόγω των σπουδών μου στο RL δυστυχώς δεν είμαι όσο ενεργός θα ήθελα τον προηγούμενο χρόνο. Αλλά προσπάθησα να είμαι διαθέσιμος συχνά στο IRC και να βοηθώ, ιδιαίτερα στο #cvn-unifications και στο #wikimedia-stewards. Σχετικά με το πρώτο έκανα κυρίως δουλειές σχετικές με το oversight, επίσης ως προσωρινός oversight στο frwiki. Από την άλλη διαχειρίστηκα αιτήσεις που έγιναν στο κανάλι των επιτρόπων, και σε αυτό το πλαίσιο θα ήθελα να ευχαριστήσω όλους αυτούς που βοήθησαν! Συνολικά έκανα περίπου 2.000 καταγεγραμμένες πράξεις επιτρόπου στο meta κατά τον τελευταίο χρόνο, και περισσότερες ακόμα ως διαχειριστής και ειδικά oversight σε τοπικά wiki τις οποίες δεν έχω καταμετρήσει αλλά μπορούν να φανούν εν μέρει στα στατιστικά.

Renseignements personnels: Salutations ! Je shouaiterais continuer à travailler comme steward. Du fait de mes études, je n'ai hélas pu être aussi actif l'an passé que je ne l'aurais souhaité. Toutefois, j'ai essayé d'être souvent disponible sur IRC pour offrir une aide ponctuelle, particulièrement sur #cvn-unifications et #wikimedia-stewards. Pour le premier des deux, il a s'agit principalement d'actions de type oversight, de même qu'être temporairement OS sur frwiki. sur l'autre, j'ai traité des requêtes qui ont été mentionnées sur le canal des stewards ; j'en profite d'ailleurs pour remercier tout ceux qui m'y ont aidé! En tout, j'ai effectué environ 2000 action stewards logguées sur meta pour l'année dernièren et probablement plus en tant qu'administrateur et particulierement oversight sur divers wikis. Je ne les ai pas comptées mais elles sont partiellement visibles sur cette page de statistiques. Amicalement, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:13, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

מידע אישי: שלום חברים! ברצוני להמשיך לעבוד בתור דייל. בגלל הלימודים שלי בחיים האמיתיים, לצערי לא הייתי יכול להיות פעיל במהלך השנה האחרונה כפי שהייתי רוצה. אבל ניסיתי להיות זמין לעתים קרובות ב־IRC כדי לעזור, במיוחד ב־#cvn-unifications וב־#wikimedia-stewards. בנוגע לערוץ הראשון, ביצעתי בעיקר דברים שקשורים להסתרה, בנוסף הייתי מסתיר זמני בוויקיפדיה הצרפתית. מצד שני, טיפלתי בבקשות שהועברו לערוץ הדיילים; בהקשר זה אני רוצה להודות לכל אלו העוזרים! בסך הכול ביצעתי בערך 2,000 פעולות דייל רשומות במטא במהלך השנה האחרונה, וסביר ביותר שאפילו יותר פעולות מפעיל מערכת ובמיוחד פעולות מסתיר בוויקיים מקומיים שלא ספרתי, אך ניתן לראות את חלקן בסטטיסטיקות. כל טוב, —דרהקסר (שיחה) 13:13, 14 בינואר 2010 (UTC)

候補者の情報: 皆さん、こんにちは。スチュワードの仕事を続けたいと思います。昨年は学業が忙しく、思ったほど活動できませんでした。しかし、お声がかかれば対処できるよう、なるべく IRC に、特に #cvn-unifications や #wikimedia-stewards で待機するようにしています。前者では、主に版秘匿 (oversight) 関連の作業を行い、また frwiki の臨時 oversight 係を務めました。他方、スチュワードチャネルで頂いた依頼の対処を行いました（それらに関わった方々に感謝いたします）。昨年は全部で 2,000 件ほどログに残るスチュワード活動を行い、おそらくはそれ以上に各ウィキ上でのローカル対処（sysop や oversight）を行いました。ローカル対処は数に入りませんが、一部は集計ツールでご覧になれます。今後ともどうぞ宜しくお願い申し上げます。

Личная информация: Привет, ребята! Я бы хотел продожить работу в качестве стюарда. Из-за учёбы в RL я, к сожалению, в течение прошлого года не мог быть таким активным, как хотелось бы. Но я пытался быть доступным на IRC с целью помочь, особенно на #cvn-unifications и #wikimedia-stewards. Насчёт первого, я в основном делал работу, связанную с правами ревизора, в том числе как временный ревизор во французской Википедии. С другой стороны, я обрабатывал запросы, поступающие на канал стюардов; в этом плане я хочу поблагодарить всех помощников! В конце концов, я совершил около 2,000 действий с флагом стюарда на Мете в прошлом году, и наверняка гораздо больше с флагом администратора и особенно ревизора в локальных проектах. Их я не считал, но вы можете их частично увидеть здесь. С наилучшими пожеланиями —DerHexer (Talk) 13:13, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Neutral~~ Opposeper this conversation. His English clearly appears to be not what he describes.seems kind but unresponsive.

So I'm not sure about his language ability.--Caspian blue 05:15, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know why “Since I'm […] busy with exams, I cannot help you adequately at the moment.” was so ambiguous. I've even forwarded your mail to steward-l but no other one was able to help you, also not the native speakers. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 10:45, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but you have not answered to my next message which directly asked your assessment. The unresponsiveness is not my only assessment either.-Caspian blue 12:51, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It was a bit ~~audacious~~daring (changed later) to respond to my mail where I've written that I do not have time because of my exams, with an ever longer mail with more expectations. Have you ever read my mail? Why did you not accept that I haven't had the time to answer, although I explained you why? Do you expect stewards to ignore all things which happen in real life? And am I the only steward which could have helped you? I really feel sorry that I could not assist you, which I've also written in my mail. But if I cannot help you, I cannot. It shouldn't be too hard to accept that. So please remind that also stewards are volunteers. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:11, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
audacious - what a wrong and offensive choice of language for your defense. I'm switching my vote from now to oppose per this conversation in which you show me not a good communication skill. I of course read your email with only very short three sentences, that's why I could you send the next email not via Wikipedia email. Your first reply in one week was fully understandable for your personal matter, but the next one was not. I asked your "simple" assessment in your capacity (it did not require other steward's input which just would take for a few minutes) but you have not replied to it for about one month. Moreover, I did not consent you to forward my message to them without asking me first. Moreover, another editor said you have not replied too. So that is why I feel to say that you're not responsive.--Caspian blue 16:01, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, audacious derives from Latin audax resp. audacia, and perfectly fits here. Or do you think any other of these words would have fitted better? audacious is one of the nicest words of them, which is I why I have chosen it. Because I assumed good faith also in that case where you have not asked for simple assessment, but instead wrote dozens of lines although you knew that I was and will also be busy with exams and neither could nor would answer. The only way to assist you, was to ask other ones.
As I explained now more than once: I really dislike not to help others as fast as possible, but if I'm not able to, how shall I do it? I'm not prefect, nobody is. Nor do I know everything. I try to do by best, each and everytime. I feel ashamed that I could not help you, but I couldn't. And it makes me quite sad that you cannot accept that. So kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:29, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please look up the word in a dictionary. That means "impudent" or "how dare you" - insulting language. You also have not explained why you did not first ask my permission on whether I would be okay for your forwarding my message to other stewards. I think your communication skill is not good.--Caspian blue 16:36, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Two meanings: 1. kühn, verwegen, 2. (negative) dreist, unverfroren; the first one was meant, of course; it was even weakened with "a bit". OALD lists to audacious: willing to take risks or to do sth shocking. I was in fact shocked why you have sent me another, even longer mail, although I told you that I neither would nor could respond/help you. And sorry for not letting you know that I've forwarded your mail, that was wrong. Please I excuse that. I just wanted to assist you, although I could not do that on my own. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:44, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure why you're bringing with the German translation since you know I'm not German. You said due to your personal matter, you can not help me "at the moment". Your way of defending yourself is "shocking" to me. I gave you a benefit of doubt, so I was in "neutral" position, but your obviously bad communication skill does not give me enough comfort to confirm you as a steward. Sorry, that is my final answer--Caspian blue 16:47, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If I haven't had an edit conflict I had added some links to en.wiktionary: w:wikt:kühn e.g. So apparently daring should have been used instead of adacious. So please forgive this single word. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:52, 20 February 2010 (UTC) P.S.: The precedent comment was changed after that reply.[reply]

Oppose - He used oversight inappropriately in November 2009 on English Wikipedia, resulting in the Randy in Boise mess. He is an admin on this wiki, and it is his home wiki; he participated in an election to obtain the Oversight bit on English Wikipedia in February 2009, and was not appointed. Stewards are expected to avoid using their steward tools on their home wiki - that rule exists to avoid stewards being pressured from their close friends on their home wiki. In his public statement about this, he did not say who had convinced him on IRC to use oversight in this situation without first googling the phrase he suppressed.(I note that they support his continued stewardship here) In addition, DerHexer refused to provide information to the English Wikipedia Audit Subcommittee regarding the "Randy in Boise" mess, even after repeated requests. John Vandenberg 04:45, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I don't know why it is important that I failed by one single vote in an oversight election where I was involuntarily pushed in, but that wiki is, in fact, not my homewiki. I first started editing on dewiki and I'm still active there whereby I just regularily edited enwiki from April 2007 to March 2008 where I called that my second homewiki and became an admin. I've made more edits on dewiki than on enwiki and would have changed the SUL information about my homewiki from enwiki to dewiki if that would be possible. But even if it would be my homewiki your conclusion is wrong. Steward policy (SP#Avoid_conflicts_of_interest) says: “Stewards should use their judgment to avoid conflicts of interest, situations where they are not impartial to the decision. Such situations should be left to neutral stewards. These include: # using steward access on any wiki where they have been blocked; # changing rights on home wikis (wikis where they are active community members), except for clearcut cases (such as self-requested removal or emergencies).” I'm not blocked on enwiki and have not changed my rights for that oversight action because Stewards have global oversight access concerning this bug. But even if I had changed my rights I would not have done that on my homewiki (as I explained) and I also assumed an emergency action (see below) which allowed me according to the Oversight policy to act how I acted: “Local oversighters should generally handle local oversighting, when they're available. Stewards may perform local oversighting in emergencies, during crosswiki oversighting, or if there are no local oversighters available (see contact details).”

Now to that special case: I was asked by a local bureaucrat (so a trustworthy person) to remove a private information which “outed him”. I knew that bureaucrat because of my interactions on enwiki in the past, that is true, but I know many crats from many projects. We talked rarely to each other so that I would not call him a close friend and I assume he me neither. Later the involved “outed” user confirmed that request. The crats told me that the other user has sent a mail to oversight-l to let the private information be removed. That happened more than an hour ago and I was told that no one had discussed there, which is why the crat asked me what now should be done. There was also no oversight on IRC, so I acted in an emergency action where no local oversight was available which perfectly fits in the oversight policy. So it was of course no abuse, the AUSC confirmed that, and I'm still confused as to why these facts cannot be accepted. Later I was told that it was discussed, but that cannot be my fault because I haven't had access to that list (nor have it atm although it was recommented by AUSC to give stewards access to the list and I have asked for) and one person with access to the list told me that they haven't discussed it. The problematic information was: user name with “[…] Randy from Boise […]“. The “outed” user's name is in fact Randy, he felt frightened to be outed and asked others to remove it as fast as possible. Because no one (as I was told) took care of his request I made the decision to work according to the foundation's privacy policy, oversight policy §1 (“# Removal of non-public personal information such as phone numbers, home addresses, workplaces or identities of pseudonymous or anonymous individuals who have not made their identity public, or of public individuals who have not made that personal information public.”) and steward policy (see above). It came out in the aftermath that “Randy from Boise” is a saying which neither the “outed” user, nor the crat, nor me, nor many other native speakers knew. I feel very sorry that I have not double-checked if that phrase could mean any other thing than outing the user. It was important in my understanding of privacy, as foundation constituted it, to remove that published information as fast as possible; and while oversight actions can now luckily be reverted, I made that decision based on the information I had. That might not have been the best one, but of course made with best faith and according to our policies. If that can be called a mistake, others have to decide.

Finally, it is untrue that I refused to provide information to the AUSC. We mailed each other, and I told them that I do not know how I can help them furthermore to look at the facts as good as possible, because I e. g. haven't had logs which could have confirmed my statement. I added, that if I could help them in any other way they should not hesitate to contact me because it was also in my interest to complete that case. I was not contacted afterwards except for a hint to the final decision. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 15:19, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
47% of your edits are on en.wp. 48.5% of your edits are on de.wp. I hate to break the news to you, but you should consider them both to be your home wiki, as you have been heavily involved in each. You have sought advanced permissions on the project.

Irrespective of that, you should avoid being pressured into using your steward tools without even a cursory independent investigation. If you can not take a few minutes to understand the problem, then you are acting emotively and under pressure. As you know, your first suppression action didn't even fix the problem; you came back 30 mins later (IIRC) to oversight another 15 revisions (IIRC) in order to properly remove the phrase. Also, after you did the oversight, you did not send an email to the local oversight mailing list to explain why you felt necessary to step in when there are 40 oversighters on en.wp in all timezones, and to indicate that local oversighters could overrule you if they understood the problem better than you did.

Your response to the AUSC request of November 18 was evasive, and you did not respond to the follow-up AUSC email of November 19. John Vandenberg 22:26, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's in fact not true. I responded on December the 5th to arbcom-audit-en@lists.wikimedia.org with topic “AW: [arbcom-audit-en] Request on ANI supression” with nearly exactly the same words as written above when the mail from November the 18th was forwarded to me. And I got no error, Mailer daemon, whatever.

I was never involved in enwiki and just quite effectively doing anti-vandalism stuff there which I now do (beside other things) on 750 projects, and according to that confirmation page not that bad. If I had known enwiki well, I would also have known that enwiki's oversights and ArbCom unwrittenly insist on reports when steward work in emergency situations (and no local ones were available) according to our policies to take care of one's user's privacy, and would not have gone to bed soon after that action. I never had to notify users on other wikis, well, I rarely do steward actions on wikis with user which have the needed local rights. But if I would not have judged it as an emergency situation I would not have done it. I seemed so obvious to me that I have not thought about googling, that it might have been a saying. Yes, I made a wrong decision, but it was reversed under premises which came out in the aftermath, I excused myself and explained the circumstances. The only thing I could do and still try to do, is asking others to accept my excuse and forgive my decision because I cannot go back in time and switch that, which I would really liked to. I have learnt many thing concerning this steward actions and would never again do any of these without letting the ArbCom (Oversights, CheckUsers) know what I've done. In fact, I would never do a steward action again on enwiki. Kind regards and again sincere apologizes, —DerHexer (Talk) 23:00, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Confirm – sound judgement and good at interactions. . Dave souza 21:44, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I felt comfortable this year with every single member of the team. This is true, regardless of the mere count of actions and the amount of interactions on wiki, mailing list, IRC, social networks or real life. Therefore I'd feel much more comfy if all current stewards are confirmed. --M/ 23:04, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
