Hello there, I've been an admin in this wikipedia for 6 month now and my admin acess will expire 13/01/2022. I would like to be admin again so that I can work more on the project and improve it. --AyourAchtouk (talk) 16:20, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, I assume there's no local bureaucrats on shiwikipedia? In any case, I'm wondering if this is more of a Steward convention to grant sysop for terms of only one year, and if this is further ellucidated somewhere? Dmehus (talk) 16:47, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Robins7@cswikinews

After a year I'm here again with a request to prolong the admin rights at the Czech Wikinews. I started a discussion, 4 people supported me, nobody was against. My adminship was extended once by another six months (half a year ago) by the only local bureaucrat, but it seems, it was just my luck, because this time, same as the first time, he isn't responding to my request, so I would be really glad, if the stewards would do so. And as I said in December 2020, under his account is running a bot, which every day creates an empty page for the day, so it's not his direct activity. Thank you so much, --Robins7 (talk) 14:41, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Axel xadolik@avk.wikipedia

We have set up a voting procedure to renew/appoint the administrators of avk.wikipedia.org, present on the Doda (Community) page. A consultation has been launched. We solicited contributors (Wikiscan users) with more than 50 contributions and set as criteria :

1. Voting deadline: 14 days from the first recorded vote;
2. General voting quorum: minimum 5 votes;
3. Minimum affirmative vote: 5 votes;
4. Validity of affirmative votes: two-thirds (e.g. 7/10, 7 affirmative and 3 negative maximum);
5. Qualification to vote: having contributed at least 50 times to avk.wikipedia.org;
6. Applicants must have made at least 200 contributions to avk.wikipedia.org;
7. Nobody can vote for him/herself.

We believe that these criteria are quite objective and reasonable to designate/renew responsible admins.
The procedure started on 13 January. Three contributors (Axel xadolik and ClaudiaVisentini for renewing and An-tiushpa as new) have proposed themselves as administrators. After 14 days of voting, these three persons were approved in accordance with the voting criteria and the entire procedure was followed. We therefore believe that these 3 persons must be validated or renewed by Wikimedia as administrators of the avk.wikipedia project. Copy to MF-Warburg for Langcom. Thank you. Regards. Nevatovol (talk) 08:04, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

What is the requested duration of the term? Ruslik (talk) 21:01, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

The status validated on 27/01/2021 by User:Martin Urbanec has expired after one year. Therefore a new vote was taken, under the conditions detailed above. 14 votes in favour, 0 against. Thank you. Nevatovol (talk) 06:09, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Done I went ahead and granted the adminship as a permanent one. Per MVR, there needs to be at least five votes for permanent adminship to be possible: 14 votes is definitely sufficient. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:37, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Arbenganese@lij.wiki

Last year, our Wiki reached 10,000 pages and has been growing steadily ever since. This is also due to Arbenganese, who has long been doing more than simply editing. He was able to contact several communities in Liguria to increase the number of users. Over time he has proven to be absolutely reliable to all admins of this small regional Wiki, that's why we kindly request for him a permanent adminship like the one we have. In this way he will be able to watch out to stop vandalism and improve the usability of our pages.It is hard to find young people who are able to speak and write the language of Christopher Columbus, and this is what Arbenganese is able to do. The election has been duly publicized on our Wikipedian, our community portal and our site notice. Arbenganese got 15 favorable votes out of 15 active users who took part in the election.

Done with many thanks for his work. RadiX∞ 17:22, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

@RadiX: I oppose this removal of rights, since this admin is clearly still active, and it is generally agreed upon to warn the admin on his or her talkpage before the request for removal of rights because of inactivity, especially in cases like these. This admin was not warned in a timely manner. Ciell (talk) 19:19, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

@Ciell: I just checked the local policy that The Banner had placed above and his number of edits. I am not aware of the procedure you mentioned here. Would it be possible for any local bureaucrat to clarify this? No problem on my part if it is necessary to reassign the permission. :) RadiX∞ 19:56, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Btw, it seems more like a borderline case to me, depending on what interval you consider for inactivity. Given today´s scenario, it meets the local 'inactivity policy'. However, if a mistake has occurred, I can surely undo it. RadiX∞ 20:11, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

@Ciell As an independent steward, I decided to review this case. Between 2021-01-12 – 2022-01-11 (both dates inclusive, delimited by UTC midnight), they made 247 live edits and zero deleted edits (which is less than the required 250 edits). While this might seem harsh (especially since Wutsje didn't meet the criteria just by a few of edits), AFAICS, the local policy does not impose any other requirements (such as, a notification) besides the number of edits. As such, I believe the policy has been interpreted and executed correctly. That said, any local bureaucrat can reinstate the permissions if they believe that's the correct course of action. Martin Urbanec (talk) 20:14, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

True this is not reflected in the local policy, but it is common courtesy: the Dutch Wikipedia has a small community and giving someone a heads up is considered only a small thing. The Banner has been asked before to not act upon this policy in such a strict way. Maybe @Kippenvlees1: or @Natuur12: can help, an I'll propose to include this in the policy either way. So sorry to lose one of our few night owl-admins with this rights removal. Ciell (talk) 20:39, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

@Ciell: I do agree that you state that it's common courtesy to notify the concerning admin. In this particular case, we however had a situation in which Wutsje had plenty of edits in the few days before he would dive under the required 250 edits. To put it briefly, Wutsje fell under the 250 edits rather quickly (and I'll be honest, I was also a bit supprised when I first noticed that). As a disclaimer, I sent Wutsje an email earlier today asking whether he was doing well (no need to explain that explicit question to you I think, Ciell) and notified him that he was getting close to the 250 edits. Now, it appears that Wutsje fell just below the 250 edits (a matter of a few hours). So, purely from a technical point of view and strictly interpreting the policy ("dura lex sed lex"), I think The Banner was right in posting this request (and the subsequent removal of rights by RadiX). However, the strict technical bits of a policy are far from the only factors that should be considered in cases like this. Especially not if I look at the fact that Wutsje made 600+ admin actions in the same timeframe etc. and was getting active again after a break (note: if the request would have been posted a few hours later, the 250 edit requirement would have been satisfied again). In that respect, I agree with Ceill that this request was overenthousiastic to say the least. It is sad to see one of the more experienced admins of the Dutch Wikipedia losing their permissions in such a way (and this could perhaps be an indication that we should make some tweaks to our inactivity policy as well). Daniuu (talk) 21:03, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

From a procedural standpoint, The Banner is correct. A talk page notification isn't mandatory and the community merely requests 250 edits as a sign of sufficient activity and has never counted admin actions as an edit. Maybe our process is flawed, but the process is community sanctioned. Natuur12 (talk) 21:15, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Yeah procedurally this removal was correct. It doesn't follow the spirit of the law in my opinion, as admin actions should definitely count towards number of edits given it shows a users activity, but the removal of rights here on meta was done correctly. - Kippenvlees1 (talk) 21:37, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

I think we should close the meta discussion here and continue this discussion locally. Daniuu (talk) 21:42, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

At least we have this page giving the number of edits of each administrator when they go below 500 edits per year. That is a clear warning when your names appears there. And as far as I can judge, he went under the norm at 10-1-2022. The Banner (talk) 23:03, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Danny B.@cs.wikinews

Please remove Danny B.'s sysop+bureaucrat flags at cs.wikinews per local inactivity policy (six months without a logged sysop action). I'm not a cs.wikinews user; I request the removal, because the inactivity of the only local bureaucrat reached the point where it negatively impacts cswikinews RfAs (see [2] [3] as recent examples of RfAs that needed to be acted on by the stewards).

Due to increased toxicity and complicated situations in Thai Wikipedia and my relative inactivity, it is better not to put myself in any more trouble that isn't worth it. It is my pleasure serving as admin, and I'm sure the project will live on without me. Horus (talk) 09:55, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

JPxG

Hi -- I don't know if I am at the right page for this. I just sent out the January edition of the Signpost on the English Wikipedia, and the script gave me an error (

Mass-messaging global subscribers... Skipped. Failed (API error: permissiondenied)

). As far as I can tell, what this means is that I need to be a MassMessage sender on meta-wiki. If so, I'd like to have this permission (I have it on enwiki and can link to relevant details if necessary). If there is an additional process here, I am willing to go through it as well.
