Administrator access

Ushau97@dvwiki

Administrators have not been active for a long time. → Ushau 09:22, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi Ushau97, if you wish to apply for adminship, you need to inform the local community of your request (e.g. posting on a Request for Adminship page, or your Village Pump). (Comment: I notice that this project has 3 admins, 2 of them are bureaucrats. They all seem to be inactive) --Bencmq (talk) 02:30, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi Bencmq, I have now applied for adminship in Dhivehi wikipedia rfa page. However, since no editors are active, I don't suppose I will be getting any votes in the near future. → Ushau 11:52, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I was granted a three-month temporary admin status on 13 September, which is to expire soon.

Wanna tell you that the user opposed after very much later of the usual time for voting, moreover she has personal issues with me. Did you checked her contributions to the wiki, she 's only there to revert others. Neither there's a community nor she gonna contribute to develop the wiki, her intention is just to not let others do also. Her Punjabi is also too poor while I'm native a Punjabi. There's no active user, the wiki really needs an admin to remove useless content, wikipedia-like articles, spam, vandalism etc.. Gonna you wait for a support? --Itar buttar (talk) 14:19, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Removal of access

Arbcom de:wp

Done. -- Mentifisto 02:06, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

FYI, the bureaucrats are responsible for the giving of sysop rights in German Wikipedia, and they also may decide in an election like this with just one vote difference between 3 candidates, who gets the rights and who doesn't. So this can't replace a bureaucrat decision and I entered an objection against the decision. I hope there will be a decision of the local bureaucrats soon. I'm very astonished (and so are the local bureaucrats) that there are given sysoprights here at Meta Wiki for users of the German Wikipedia which should be known here to every steward to have local bureaucrats. Even more, this here is no section for giving sysop rights, but for "removal of access", as the section says. --Geitost diskusjon 14:14, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

I think that Mentifisto assumed that, given an outgoing arbitrator specifically requested the sysop of the new members in this way, this was for some reason standard procedure. There was no intent to overrule the local 'crats. We can probably remove them and let the local 'crats handle this if they request it so that it is logged locally and it's an issue. It would be great to hear directly from the local 'crats. As for the section thing, nah it really doesn't make a difference where it's filed. Snowolf How can I help? 23:06, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
I reported about you answer, the bcrats will reply you soon, regards, -jkb- 23:55, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
I think it's not necessary to remove the rights - just to give them the rights again locally. But for the future it would be good if stewards don't grant sysop rights on wikis with active bureaucrats. Not only because of the logs, but also because local bureaucrats could better assess whether granting the rights is correct regarding the community rules. --APPER (talk) 00:13, 2 December 2012 (UTC) (bureaucrat on de.wikipedia)
Indeed, this slipped my mind. My apologies. -- Mentifisto 01:13, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
Shit happens! It's safe to assume that Mentifisto acted in view of AGF. So this request could be archived now. Best regards, — YourEyesOnly (talk) 07:03, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

    Transwiki importer rights on gu.wiki

    This request is for granting transwiki import rights to one more user સમકિત on gu.wiki. Community consensus is taken for this and he has received overwhelming response. Currently only 2 admins (as there are only 2 active) and one more user have these rights and Sam.ldite is actively engaged in creating templates. With import rights, he will be better able to do this by importing templates that we use mostly from the en.wiki.--DhavalTalk 23:38, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

    As part of the migration, we need to import some important policy pages and talk pages from wts-old, while preserving their history. I have the relevant XML back ups for upload. We have no importers as of now. Peter Talk 18:48, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
