I consider that a decision should be made for above listed discussion. The discussion started on January 15, 2016. Thanks, --Silenzio76 (talk) 16:17, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

There are some very problematic behavioural aspects with this candidate. I have noticed them there and I also mention them here. The problematic aspects are about a previous verbal agressivity amounting to personal attacks of other users and a strong tendency to label editors with whom he disagrees. Also, some tendency to own articles has been mentioned there. He also speaks about a supposed false topic, sensitive to Wikimedia Foundation. These traits are not to be seen on a future sysop.--86.123.118.165 11:38, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

I advise the steward to ignore the message above for many reasons: the user has no right to vote, any comments related to this topic should be placed at w:ro:Wikipedia:Candidați/Administrator/Dan Mihai Pitea (2), and there are strong reasons to believe that behind this IP address is an user whom already expressed his vote. Best regards, --Silenzio76 (talk) 14:47, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

My opinion is to close as successful. 15 pro, 3 against. That makes more than 80% support, more than the widely required 75% of support required for promotions. —MarcoAurelio 14:52, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

The rules @ro.wp are quite different: "Un birocrat evaluează discuția și decide dacă s-a ajuns la consens. Consens nu înseamnă nici unanimitate, nici majoritate; sunt ignorate opiniile care nu se bazează pe argumente rezonabile. Birocratul trebuie să poată justifica decizia pe care a luat-o și, dacă a ignorat una sau mai multe opinii, să explice de ce." I'm not gonna translate it myself, Google does a pretty good job.

Basically, the task of the person closing the discussion is to see if the negative points raised during the discussion are substantial enough to prevent the promotion. CLosing based on votes alone will most likely raise a chorus of protests.--Strainu (talk) 16:04, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

This policy of ro:wp attempted to refute mockery voting. But bureaucrats, citing the idea that they are best judge, behaved like dictators. It proved once again that dictatorship is worse than democracy. This is why we do not have bureaucrats at ro:wp, and I no longer support this policy. --Turbojet (talk) 09:19, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

@Strainu:, but there are no bureaucrats at ro.wp. When the community decided to go without bureaucrats, it also decided to go with the stewards' judgement and with their methods of evaluating consensus. I also think the 75% rule of thumb works well with identifying consensus on ro.wp. If the opposing minority had brought serious arguments against the proposal, then they would probably have convinced enough people to change their votes to oppose. If you look at the ro.wp sysop candidacy history, you'll see how it actually fits. The closest proposal that we had to deny in the last three years had 70% support, and even seemingly close proposals that have been accepted went over 75%.Andrei Stroe (talk) 11:40, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Now there are 16 votes pro and 2 against. --Sîmbotin (talk) 16:45, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Andrei, I disagree, based on Stewards_policy#Check_local_policies; we're basically in the "person in charge decides" case described at en.wp, with the added complication that he has to justify the decision. Also, historically, bureaucrats have taken into account all opinions, even if not expressed as votes.--Strainu (talk) 18:42, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

But you can't expect stewards to really fullfil that when none of us speak Romanian... Our understanding of those discussions will be limited by automatic translations, which are not 100% reliable. While we will try to comply with it, I feel you're putting excessive burden on us asking us to behave like if we were local community members that understand the language, knows the community problems, etc. and thus can make informed decisions. Inevitably, we will have to rely on votes IMHO. What do other stewards think? —MarcoAurelio 18:50, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

@MarcoAurelio: If you think it would really help, I can translate the whole discussion. --Winter^eu 19:25, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

I don't expect you to behave like you're local community members, quite the contrary actually. By not being involved, I would expect it to be easier for you to pick the few important arguments and ignore the noise.

Anyway, if you decide internally that this is too much of a burden, please announce it officialy at the village pump, so we can at least modify the rules for future candidates. Thanks.--Strainu (talk) 06:57, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────┘
Okay. Thanks all for the explanations. We will be looking now to close the discussion accordingly. A decision should arrive soon I hope. Does local policy allows to close the vote pending a decision? Best regards. —MarcoAurelio 11:46, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

You were already explained that we're not voting on ro.wikipedia when it comes to adminship. Also, until the discussion is officially closed (with the conclusion), eligible users can still express their opinion. Regards, Winter^eu 16:48, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

There's no need to be bossy, and certainly I'd expect that you understand that I don't speak English, so if my meaning is unclear please ask before complaining. It has been clear to all of us that there's no voting in rowp, otherwise this issue would have been resolved long ago. Thanks. —MarcoAurelio 17:12, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Done - Adminship granted. Having reviewed the arguments against the candidate, we find them not strong enough to prevent promotion. Among those arguments, there's an unproven accusation of sockpuppetry and a descend of the number of visits and lack of NPV. As for the first one, I can't find any proofs, not any direct request to compare the candidate with other accounts that are suspected to be operated by the same user. Also, CheckUser is not for fishing, and we can't simply go checking "just in case" the candidate has used multiple accounts, which are not forbidden unless they're used to damage, sabotage or deceive the project or its community. When and if you have such evidence, then we can talk. As for the second one, certainly being an administrator is not the reason for the decrease of the number of reasons of a project. Respect to the NPV policies is a local matter, that has to be enforced locally. We can't also ignore that the candidate has more than 80% of support at this moment, and that if the arguments against were so strong to prevent promotion they could have convinced others to vote the same way or remove their support vote. Discussion closed, promotion enacted. —MarcoAurelio 15:59, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Boxstools@ady.wikipedia

This requests is domain adminship to Boxstools @ady.wikipedia as per consensus. Boxstools (talk) 18:00, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Please start a local discussion, and wait at least 1 week to allow any local community members to comment. I would also recommend getting a bit more experience on that project in particular, but also on Wikimedia in general, before becoming an admin there. Ajraddatz (talk) 18:06, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Or did you, Boxstools, previously use a different account? --MF-W 18:08, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Helmoony@ar.wikibooks

I already obtained a temporary approval for 3 months. I'm making some admin tasks including deletes that have been waiting for years. As mentioned in the previous discussion initiated by @Meno25: no admin is active there. Permanent admin rights will help me to fight vandalism and invite more wikipedians to edit in wikibooks.Helmoony (talk) 17:56, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

@Helmoony: The Arabic Wikibooks community is small to elect a permanent administrator. So, I believe that (periodically renewable) temporary adminship is enough right now. --Meno25 (talk) 19:58, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Not done, as Meno25 said. Please ask for extension (on local community) before than your rights will expire on April. --Stryn (talk) 10:08, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you @Meno25: @Stryn:. I put a request in the local village pump although even for the first request made there none of the admins replied or even edited something in wikibooks. --Helmoony (talk) 16:47, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Hippias@it.wikiversity

I'm nominated as a bureaucrat on it.Wikiversity. --Hippias (talk) 13:20, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Without any current administrators on the project (and with only temporary administrators in the project's recent history), it does not seem appropriate to promote a bureaucrat on this project. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 17:04, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, but as a matter of practice bureaucrats are not appointed on projects with no (or few) permanent admins. QuiteUnusual (talk) 14:35, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Waiting on @Jalexander-WMF:. -- Avi (talk) 17:29, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

I'm not in a rush or anything, but just to make sure no one thinks they're waiting on me: I signed the OS and OTRS policies a couple of days ago. At least I think I did; if I did something wrong (the instructions were kind of confusing), please let me know. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:32, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Floquenbeam. Since your name does not appear yet on this page we can't grant you the rights. We can't see either if you signed the documents on Legalpad either. Can you please (just to confirm) visit again Phabricator and check if you signed the documents? If so, we should wait until your name is posted on that board. They're usually quick doing so, though; so I'm not sure if there are hollydays in the office, etc. Best regards. —MarcoAurelio 19:26, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Marco, no worries, I understand you can't take my word for it. I've survived without the OS bit for a year and a half, I'm not worried about another few days. I just wanted to be clear that the next step is Jalexander's (or approved equal), not mine. Phabricator is not user friendly for people unfamiliar with the interface, so it took quite a while, but I eventually found a page that confirms I've signed both "L32 OTRS Users Confidentiality Agreement - Nonpublic Information (English)" and "L4 General Confidentiality Agreement - Nonpublic Information (English)". I'll be patient. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:47, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes, it is. You'll be added to the noticeboard linked above, and at that time we'll turn on the flag for you. No further action by you required :) Ajraddatz (talk) 10:34, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Done, as the candidate has now been added to the noticeboard. Ajraddatz (talk) 19:04, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Users who did not sign confidentiality agreement

For the record: I sent an email about this to the stewards mailing list and listing here for the record and for tracking purposes. These are users who have not signed the Confidentiality agreement required by the new Access to nonpublic information policy and are, therefore, no longer eligible to hold Checkuser or Oversight rights. There are a couple people who I have asked the Stewards to wait briefly while I try to work on them. Jalexander--WMF 02:44, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Please note that when the rights from Bawolff (enwikinews OS), Kamix (fawiki OS) and พุทธามาตย์ (thwiki CU) are removed, the following rights also need to be removed until a new CU/OS has been elected or until the aforementioned users signed the confidentiality agreement:

Accipiter Q. Gentilis@ro.wikipedia

Please remove my sysop rights. Thank you Accipiter Q. Gentilis (talk) 13:05, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

On hold for 24 hours, as SOP for self-requests. Also, you've been granted the rights some weeks ago. Are you sure this is not a "ragequit" (as they're used to be called)? —MarcoAurelio 14:04, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your question, but I really think that Wikipedia it's not the End of the World. I'm just a little sad, due to my imprudence. I got into something who really does not match with me. Accipiter Q. Gentilis (talk) 18:46, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

@MarcoAurelio:, I suggest to put this request on hold for more than 24 hours. Accipiter at the beginning of his new role really got in a difficult situation with a difficult user. I think this is just an overreaction and may go away in couple of days. Regards,--Silenzio76 (talk) 01:13, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

I was really surprised by a significant number of encouragements by e-mail. Some of its contain completely valid arguments, so I decided to withdraw my request for revocation of sysop rights.--Accipiter Q. Gentilis (talk) 16:46, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Not done then. —MarcoAurelio 17:01, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your patience.--Accipiter Q. Gentilis (talk) 17:10, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

I am the difficult user with whom Accipiter Q. Gentilis got in a difficult situation. I am an old wikipedian (started contributing in 2006), I was almost inactive at Wikipedia after 2008 because of harassment (attempted outing), I made a return at Wikipedia in 2015 to oppose the deletion of an article and Accipiter Q. Gentilis made attemped outing against me again. This is why I made a complaint. There were no edit wars at Romanian Wikipedia with my involvement, in order to justify the attempted outing. It was only the fact that I expressed opinions in a deletion debate and I opposed some admin nominations. In my opinion, somebody involved in attempted outing should not be admin at Wikipedia, but I know that at Romanian Wikipedia the community consider attempted outing as acceptable. I am the bad guy of Romanian Wikipedia because I complained against attempted outing. More details in the checkuser request I make regarding Acipiter Q. Gentilis, as I suspect him of using sockpuppets [5]. There is also a checkuser request regarding me and I already agreed with it [6].--MariusM (talk) 17:07, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi. This user is inactive last 1 year and in his latest edit January 7th, 2015 he noted that he leaves Wikipedia. Thanks.--Wertuose (talk) 20:11, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, but if the user has not clearly said he's resigning and there's no local policy or community decission allowing us to do this, the retirement of an editor is not a cause to remove someone's rights. Nonetheless, if the editor does not return, AAR will be triggered and rights will be removed. Thanks for your understanding. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio 16:06, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Done - Taketa (talk) 20:47, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Wtf? There were plenty of local admins to do so, nor were any advanced rights resigned. --Vogone (talk) 21:14, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Good point. Local admins should have done this action. I was aware of the recent resignation of all bureaucrats from this wiki and made a wrong assumption based on the userright tool and advice above. I should have double checked. My mistake. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 21:23, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

We can assume that the user preferred a more "silently" removal of the respective rights, instead of asking a local admin to do so. Otherwise, it's sad to see such an experimented user like XXN doing this. --Winter^eu 22:59, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

@Taketa & Vogone: The patroller status can actually only be removed by bureaucrats at ro.wikipedia (and we don't have any at this moment). --Mihai P. (talk) 15:37, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

All ro.wiki admins can remove these rights using ro:special:userrights. You can see what admins can do at ro:Special:Listă drepturi grup. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 16:05, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

No, the patroller (more precise, the active patroller) status can only be granted and removed by bureaucrats. Admins can only grant and remove the autopatroller (the passive patroller) status. That is exacly what is stated in the link in the row birocrați. So your intervention was necessary. Regards, --Mihai P. (talk) 16:20, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

[Conflict] Mihai is right that admins cannot change the "patroller" user right, only the "automatic patrol" right. These are different rights.--Strainu (talk) 16:27, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

You are ofcourse correct that the patroller right was correctly removed. However all three rights are seperate rights. Two of the rights could have been removed by local admins. So for those two rights, I could have left it to local admins. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 16:57, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Seriously, I know Meta is sometimes boring, but generating this kind of drama for this is ridiculous. Patroller rights need a bureaucrat for removal, so indeed this has to be handled by us absent local bureaucrats at rowp. And advanced permissions is just what the template "on hold" adds. The other two rights could have been removed locally, indeed; and that's what was done. Please stop shooting ourselves in our feets. —MarcoAurelio 22:22, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Bellayet @ Bengali Wikisource

This site has no bureaucrat. As per local policy, access removal process should be initiated if the admin is inactive for one year. Attempt should be made to contact the sysop by various means and community to decide if the sysop does not respond within six months. More than two years have elapsed since his last edit on December 22, 2013, which is more than the maximum inactivity time without community review as per global policy. User was informed on his Bengali Wikipedia talk page, where he is regularly active. He has ignored the information and has continued editing Bengali Wikipedia. So, removal of access is requested. Thanks, Hrishikes (talk) 06:30, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Global policy does not apply. AAR is reviewed one time a year and this will be checked in due time. The local inactivity process for admins on bn.wikisource seems to be added by Jayantanth last October. Was there a vote on this? If the local policy is good, then Bellayet needs to be informed 6 months before removal. In the link you provide you inform him last month. Was he informed before this? Please give a link where Bellayet was informed. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 06:49, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Link here. Informed on January 22. No local AAR is being done. No, he was not informed before. Thanks, Hrishikes (talk) 06:52, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

AAR for 2015 is being done right now. The AAR can check if he wants to stay active as admin. Otherwise according to bn.wikisource policy we would have to wait another 5 months. I suggest waiting for the AAR, or the 5 months, whichever applies first, and no further action right now. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 07:00, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Ping@other stewards. —MarcoAurelio 12:10, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

I think that an inactivity policy should be enacted by consensus rather than acclamation. No fault of the requesting user, of course; I would just prefer to see a vote with more active participation required to remove sysop rights. Otherwise, the AAR process is quite efficient at removing inactive permission holders on small projects. Ajraddatz (talk) 08:03, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Agreed. Unlike requests for temprorary admin, where no opposition is considered tacit approval on small projects, a project-wide policy regarding the removal of rights needs a consensus of that project, and perhaps a minimum quorum as well. However, without a local policy the global policy should apply, and it appears tthat Greudin has not met that standard, so removal would be warranted. -- Avi (talk) 15:38, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

In that case, we need to follow AAR2015; on which I'm working this year and will probably start soon sending notices to projects and users once all is set up. —MarcoAurelio 15:40, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Agreed. After an extended period of trusted service I see no reason not to extend for longer periods. However, I would set a maximum limit of 2 years, in line with the global inactivity policy limits, unless the project has its own more restrictive activity policy (unlikely I know). QuiteUnusual (talk) 13:41, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Personally I don't like the idea of the longest term. Many communities have a confirmation process, and that is from a year, and I don't think that small wikis should have a longer period than a year. It is not an onerous process.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:57, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

My own opinion is if the wiki isn't large or active enough for permanent admins, then a year is a reasonably long enough length of time. If the admin starts the discussion just a bit more than a week before the expiration, it can be seamless. I don't think there is anything wrong with giving rights for 18 months; i just don't see it as substantially superior to 12. -- Avi (talk) 19:35, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

•  Granted for 1 year to expire on 2016-02-23. With only around a half-dozen non-bot, non-automated editors with more than 10 edits in the past 30 days (Pratyya himself only has 3 edits in the past 30 days), I do not believe that BnWikT is ready for permanent admins at this time. Also, while this will be Pratyya's fourth go round here, it is only the second time privileges will be of duration > 6 months, so I will extend temporary admin privileges for one more year. Hopefully, by this time in 2016, the project will have grown enough so that permanent adminship may be considered. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page.

I would like to apply for temporary adminship for three months on the Finnish Wikiversity. There are zero active sysops, and I'd like to delete redundant pages, update the interface (system messages), fix cut-and-paste moves by merging histories, and do other administrative stuff. I have been admin on fi.wikipedia and fi.wikisource for 2–3 years now, and I was a temporary admin at fi.wiktionary in the autumn of 2014 executing a similar "tour of duty" in 3 months. The community of fi.wikiversity is very small. My purpose is to do the technical maintenance work that has accumulated over several years (backlog) and that nobody seems willing to do. --Pxos (talk) 13:58, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your willingness to help out. Leaving this request on hold in case there are any comments on the local request. Savh^ñ 14:52, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

I don't think there is going to be any discussion. There is an ongoing course where people get academic credit for their contributions, but they do not know how to sign their texts (they use both article pages and discussion pages for conversation, it's a real mess). Someone has cut-and-pasted the talk pages so that the page history has been lost, and single contributions cannot be separated from the whole. Someone else has already asked where they should post their comments now. The course instructor seems to be gone, and when he was present, it was obvious that he had no idea how to use Mediawiki code properly. I understand that applications of this kind should normally be open for at least a week so that the silent community might voice their opinions on me, but I really would like to expedite this process. I could sort out the mess this weekend and get things on the right track. I am now thinking of seeking a permanent adminship later on, and community discussion on that could be open for several weeks. --Pxos (talk) 13:46, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

 Granted for 6 months to expire on 2016-02-26. --MF-W 00:57, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

All 5 have been removed. Matanya (talk) 19:47, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

We can only give you a temporary access for 3 months. Ruslik (talk) 19:06, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes, that would be fine. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 19:41, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

romaine@bewikimedia

Based on phab:T125390, please give me import right and transwiki-import right on be.wikimedia.org. This wiki is the association wiki of Wikimedia Belgium. I post this request as board member of WMBE, admin on be.wikimedia.org and project leader of Wiki Loves Monuments in Belgium and Luxembourg. Romaine (talk) 15:46, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Done. The importer right will give you access to both, the importupload and the transwiki import feature. Bug might take some time before being fixed, specially since it might need some review, as wlmbe is not a wmf-wiki and thus security might veto its addition as transwiki import source. —MarcoAurelio 15:59, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

thanks --Mohammed Bachounda (talk) 20:21, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm inclined to grant this request. Before that, though, would you mind leaving some sort of notice to both projects that you will be creating many accounts? With this right you'll be able to avoid rate limits, and some local admins might be upset with that many actions, so best to let them know beforehand. Ajraddatz (talk) 20:27, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

ok @Ajraddatz:, i understand ,i will create a local discution in both arabic and french wikipedia And i coming back to you

As bureaucrat in ar.wiki i confirm this request.--Abbas 00:04, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Done at ar.wiki per local bureaucrat confirmation (yes, I realize he could have flicked the switch, but I am trying to move the ball forward per his confirmation). MBisanz ^talk 01:12, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Local crats on arwiki can't add or remove the account creator permission, so you did the right thing :) Ajraddatz (talk) 01:13, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Whoops, thanks. MBisanz ^talk 12:32, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Saileshpat@orwikipedia

Thanks Sailesh Patnaik ^{(Talk2Me|Contribs)} 11:35, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

@Saileshpat: I think that's best handled through throttle exception on wmf-config, so the users will be able to create the accounts themselves. All I need is a start date and hour and an end date and hour, a number of expected participants and the IP address or IP range you'll be using for the event. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio 12:10, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Aurelio , The date is 26 February 2016 and the workshop will be in between 9:00 am - 1:00 pm (IST). We expect minimum 50 participants for the workshop and IP details is given above. -- Sailesh Patnaik ^{(Talk2Me|Contribs)} 16:09, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Okay, I'll work on that now. I'm also inclined to grant the right just in case accounts need to be created manually in case of error; but would preferr that you announced that you're requesting the right on the village pump of your wiki for the event. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio 16:12, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Done in task T127599. —MarcoAurelio 17:07, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Dear Aurelio, Today we found that laboratory has two IP address. Can you please add this IP 192.168.62.62 to the existing task. We also need an extension from 11:00 am to 3:00 am on 25th February 2016 not 26th(IST).

I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.-- Sailesh Patnaik ^{(Talk2Me|Contribs)} 08:51, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Will also work into this after having lunch. I might hopefully get this deployed in one of the SWAT windows for today. —MarcoAurelio 12:03, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Hope , I will not face any more problem tomorrow, I have only 15hrs with me. Thanks in advance.-- Sailesh Patnaik ^{(Talk2Me|Contribs)}
