From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Administrator access

Tb095811zhwiki@zh.wikinews

The user was nominated as a sysop. According to local policy, the user is eligible for a permanent sysop permission as (s)he received 80% or above support in 14 days. --HW (talk) 03:17, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Done Permanent, because the existing local sysops are already permanent and 5 votes are not that bad. --MF-W 15:54, 27 June 2017 (UTC)


Bureaucrat access

Waihorace@zh.wikinews

I was nominated as the bureaucrat since the previous (only) bureaucrat resigned in March 2017. The vote has been run for 2 weeks. --HW (talk) 03:22, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Not done 3 votes are not enough for bureaucrat status. --MF-W 15:45, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

CheckUser access

User GSS-1987@En.Wikipedia

I've been a contributing editor on Wikipedia since 2015, active mostly in SPI and AfD's (espacialy related to WikiProject India). I would be willing to perform Checkuser when an arbitration case required it, but not for general noticeboard or preventative issues. It would also be extremely helpful to have access to the deleted revisions when considering recreation of an article. I have read the policies on Checkuser and understand the use of this tool so I believe I'm ready to go for it. Thank you – GSS (talk) 07:55, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your responce Ajraddatz, I will apply there. Cheers – GSS (talk) 08:28, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Oversight access

W.CC@jawiki

Please grant an "Oversight" rights for this user, as per local-community consensus (clear consensus). This user has signed to NDA . Thanks -- rxy (talk) 11:18, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Done. RadiX 13:43, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Removal of access

Teles@ptwiki

Please, remove the oversight tools from Teles at Portuguese Wikipedia. His one year term ended on March 29, 2017 and the right needs to be removed until he is re-approved for another term. On April 2013, Teles requested the removal of his CU rights after his term ended only after 2 days; now, his term as OS has ended 62 days ago. Biólogo 32 What's up? 22:27, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

RadiX@ptwiki

Please, remove the Checkuser tools from RadiX at Portuguese Wikipedia. His one year term ended on May 2, 2017 and the right needs to be removed until he is re-approved for another term. Thank you. Biólogo 32 What's up? 22:27, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

I am sorry for that, I forgot to create another RfCU in time. I would kindly ask to mark this request as "closed" or "on hold" because I just opened a local vote. Thanks. RadiX 07:50, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
Sorry, but the rules are clear. The term of CU is one year and your term ended more than a month ago. The fact that you have opened a new request does not mean that you have been approved for another term. If your new RfCU is approved, the rights is reassigned. Until then, you have no legitimacy to use it or access private information. As bureaucrats, our role is to ensure that the Portuguese Wikipedia rules are followed strictly. Érico (talk) 08:16, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
Done, will be granted again if another term is approved. Linedwell [talk] 09:20, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

User DavidL@frwikibooks

Contributeur inactif depuis plus de deux ans. FrankyLeRoutier (talk) 06:08, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Is there a policy page or noticeboard discussion saying that administrators who are inactive for more than two years will be de-sysopped? Have you notified the two users that their rights will be removed? MBisanz talk 12:34, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Il n'y a pas eu de discussion sur la durée d'inactivité pour le retrait des statuts, je n'ai pas mis de message sur leurs pages de discussions ni envoyer de courriel. FrankyLeRoutier (talk) 18:47, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Unless there is a local policy that states otherwise, I think we generally require a local discussion and notice to the users before removing userrights. MBisanz talk 00:34, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
Hmm, this user wasn't apparently listed at Admin activity review/2016/Data due to this. According to this (diff), that voting was annulled by the same user who proposed it. Matiia (talk) 18:00, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
So, should we remove the userright for falling under the Admin Activity Review practice here or has fr.wikibooks opted out of removal of inactive users? MBisanz talk 12:37, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
Tagging as not done, no response. If they are still a part of AAR then this user will be caught by that process eventually. – Ajraddatz (talk) 18:47, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Minisarm@ro.wikipedia

According to our local policy (ro:Wikipedia:Revocare#Expirare), administrators and bureaucrats lose their special permissions if they have been inactive for more than 1 year. The period of inactivity is measured since their last contribution.

User Minisarm made his last contribution on June 13, 2016, and has been duely notified both on his talk page and by e-mail message. I kindly ask you to remove his sysop rights. --Pafsanias (talk) 08:11, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Teles@ptwiki

Please, remove checkuser right from my account. I was perhaps the most voted checkuser on ptwiki and was there for sometime. As far as I know, never checkusered anyone improperly. WMF has been dealing with a local issue and, despite I know I am right, I am not allowed to disclose why. That lack of transparency made it appear that I was wrong and many trolling actions are being performed as a consequence. Any other privacy issue will have to be dealt by another user or WMF itself. There is no meaning on being correct within our policies while it can't be publicly sustained by WMF for self-protection and the negative feedback was sent to me and a few others. Good luck with the very known ptwiki trolling because I am out.—Teles «Talk to me ˱C L @ S˲» 17:24, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Prenn@vi.wikivoyage

Hi, I would like to request a temporary sysop access at vi.voyage to update the outdated gadgets and interfaces, and help keep the project clean while I'm there. (The project is a low-activity one and currently has no sysops.) Thank you. Prenn Talk · 05:13, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

This project is with only a very small community. Currently it does not have an admin. Since I am a native speaker of Sinhala I would be better than the global admins in dealing with issues that require knowledge in Sinhala also. However I got only one vote here. If a permanent admin flag cannot be set, please provide me with temporary rights for three (3) months. Lee (talk) 11:47, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

This is a vote from nearly 1,5 years ago. Shouldn't you start a new one, to reach new users? Trijnsteltalk 13:23, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Transwiki import access on mul.wikisource

After a long discussion the time seems right for the inauguration of nap.wikisource. it.wikisource has hosted these texts in neapulitan and they need to be transferred to mul.wikisource before the opening of the new subdomain. I would like to be granted transwiki import rights from itwikisource to mul.wikisource for two-three days, as I feel the urge to preserve the history of those pages. I proposed myself as a volunteer for this task, and there has been only words of praise; I am no idler layabout and my actions as sysop and bureaucrat are perfectly logged. If stewards want me to ask for a votation process on it.source I will comply, but I see this transwiki import as a simple fast harmless chore and the discussion that I linked shows no need for more consensus. - εΔω 21:26, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

@OrbiliusMagister: once more: if the whole problem is to import those approx 18 pages to oldwikisource so I can do it this late nicht after my arbcom conference in :de (or tommorow).
