Meta:Requests for adminship

Edit links
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This is an archived version of this page, as edited by Brockert (talk | contribs) at 03:40, 6 January 2005 (I asked him). It may differ significantly from the current version.

If you would like to become an admin of Meta, please follow the procedure below. This is a serious responsibility. For example meta-admins can edit the fundraising page.

Full policy is available on Administrator on Meta#Policy for requesting adminship.

You may request to be administrator if:

  • you are or have been a participant for at least 2 months on at least one wikimedia project (at least 100 contributions)
  • you have a user page on meta, with link(s) to the local project user page, and valid contact address (registered and valid wikipedia email address in preferences, or an email address indicated on your user page)
  • you are (or perhaps having been some time ago) an active contributor on meta (more than 100 contributions)
  • you are a sysop on a local wikipedia or related project

The request will stay here at least 1 week. Sysophood will be granted by a majorty of at least 75%.

Exceptions

If you need temporary sysop access to edit protected pages (related in particular to languages files), you may request temporary sysophood on meta. In this case, the adminship shall be granted with no requirements and approval, but the user will promise to limit his activity to the necessity of his local project. Sysop access will be valid for one month.

Procedure

  1. Make an edit to your talk page on the wiki where you are an administrator about the request specifying the nickname you are using here (for example):
    I am requesting adminship on Meta for the account [[:m:User:<Account>]]. ~~~~
  2. Request adminship on this page
  3. Include here the link to that version in history of your talk page to confirm your identity

User:TUF-KAT

I am a long time en Wikipedian, and am an admin and bureaucrat on both en.wikipedia and en.wikibooks. I do some occasional stuff here at meta, such as updating the milestones at Wikimedia News. I fairly often check meta recent changes for vandalism, since it's not as active as the pedia and would like to be able to rollback and delete nonsense and such. TUF-KAT 22:22, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Comment

  1. Would you like to provide us another link? :) Aphaia 04:31, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  2. Abstain for now since TUF-KAT has less than 100 edits. Angela 06:15, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  3. Supportive if necessary and if Tuf Kat is active enough on meta. I trust him to be okay. Anthere

User:Polyglot

I would like to request sysop status on meta, because I would like to be able to add urls to the spam block list. The English Wiktionary is more and more under attack by spammers. (A few months ago this problem was almost non existant, now it's starting to become a major annoyance). I have been a sysop on en.wiktionary.org for about a year now and I have been a sysop on nl.wiktionary.org and es.wiktionary.org since their inception in May 2004. I am also bureaucrat on nl.wiktionary.org. I don't mind if it's not possible to grant me sysop rights here on meta (I'm not all that active over here), but then there should be a very quick system to add spamvertising urls to the black list. Would it help to add that Angela, Jimbo and GerardM know me personally? :-) We met (although briefly) in Rotterdam. Many thanks for your consideration of my request, Polyglot 00:49, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  1. Abstain for now since Polyglot has less than 100 edits. I think an alternative solution needs to be found for the spam blanklist. It should be editable by any admin, not only by Meta admins. Angela 06:15, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    Is it necessary that all four conditions are met? That seems a bit odd to me. Anyway, I'm not going to edit pages here on meta if there is no need to do so, just to get to the 100 pages watermark. I hope a good way to add spamvertising urls can be found quickly. I do appreciate/understand the fact that it doesn't make a lot of sense to make me a sysop over here just to be able to edit one locked page, though. Cheers, Polyglot 08:08, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    I could not really be convinced of the need for polyglot to be a sysop here since he does not edit this wiki. Additionnaly, I will add that I do not really see how Ang, Jimbo and GerardM knowing him briefly from Rotterdam makes a difference here. I'll add that I feel personnaly a bit hurt not to be mentionned among those he met, that does not help me feeling very supportive in this cas :) Anthere

Requests for temporary sysophood

Sysop confirmation

en: Please only vote if you oppose these users' continuing status as sysop

de: Bitte stimme ab, nur wenn du gegen Administratorstatus dieses Benutzers stimmst.

ja: もしこのユーザが管理者を続けることに反対の場合のみ投票してください。

it: Vota solo se sei contrario alla conferma come amministratore di quest'utente

+/-

According to meta policy at Administrator on Meta, sysops are to be confirmed on a yearly basis to retain their status. Quoting said page:

Poll after a year
Sysop-hood is not a lifetime status. Get it if you need it. Keep it if people trust you. Quit it if you do not need it. Lose it if people feel they cannot trust you. Sysop status on meta will be granted for one year. After that time, people will be able to vote to oppose a sysop. If there is no opposition for the sysop to stay sysop, then they stay sysop. If opposition is voiced, then the sysop may lose sysopship if support falls below 75%. No quorum is required. It is not a vote to gain support status, but a poll to express disagreement with the current situation. The point is not to bug everyone to vote to support the sysop again (if there is no opposition, there is no point in voting your support again), the point is to not allow sysop-hood status to stay a life time status. If a sysop is not really strongly infringing rules, but is creating work for the community because of a lack of trust, then it is best that people have the possibility to express their opposition.

Users who became sysops before 2004 were to be confirmed in January of 2005. The current poll began 05:56, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC) and ends at 05:56 on 19 January.

Alvaro

(user|talk|contribs)

  1. Alvaro has been inactive on meta for a full year, and should be de-sysopped per policy. --Ben Brockert < 07:27, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    Alvaro quit Wikipedia. He was a french contributor and I think he has not edited for about a year (much much much to my regret). Anthere
    Ah. That's a pity. I don't think I ever knew him. --Ben Brockert <
  2. Support desysopping since Alvaro is no longer active on the project. Angela 02:53, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Magnus Manske

  1. Probably doesn't need to be an admin since he has only 7 edits on Meta in the last year. Angela 02:53, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Root

(user|talk|contribs)

  1. Anthere 05:56, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC) (who is this root anyway ?)
    I assume it was a joke account, since the actual root user wouldn't need sysop on here, he could already do anything to the database. Root has no contributions, ever. --Ben Brockert < 02:37, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  2. Desysop. Non-real account with the potential to cause confusion. Angela 02:53, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Tarquin

(user|talk|contribs)

  1. His last edit was 11 Mar 2004, and could be considered inactive. --Ben Brockert <
    He is still active on the English Wikipedia though. (Neither supporting or opposing for now). Angela 02:53, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    I asked him on his en talk page. --Ben Brockert < 03:40, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
