Bureaucrat requests

Bureaucrats for Wikibooks

Tamil wikibooks

I, user ravidreams at tamil wikibooks, would like to self-nominate myself for the bureaucrat access in tamil wikibooks site. The current bureaucrat srihari is inactive atleast for the last three months and we need one more bureaucrat to take care of things there. In this same username, I am a sysop at tamil wikipedia and a bureaucrat at tamil wiktionary and well introduced to the wikimedia projects and their goals, execution. The local poll page is open since 22 Juluy 2006, and there is community support for me. The local poll page is here. Thanks--Ravidreams 10:27, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes

Me @ many Wiktionaries

Did a cleanup of inactive Wiktionaries, mostly deleting "Current events" and "Index.php" (which were used for spam nearly everywhere), but also removing old fundraiser sitenotices and such. Jon Harald Søby 14:01, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Incubator & Meta

I request temporary admin rights on the Wikipedia Incubator and the Wikimedia Meta-wiki because of moving the test-wp pages to the Incubator for several reasons:

• the test-wp pages on Meta have already been moved, but new ones are coming here - instead of Incubator. This needs to be solved quickly (eg. move the pages and delete them from Meta) because of growing mess.
• on Incubator, there has been a new proposal to change the name formats of the testwikis, and several testwikis have already moved; there's a need to unify the name formats and delete the useless redirects
• there are some pages in the deleteme category in the Incubator
• the only current admin of Incubator is Brion, who stated he doesn't have interest in the Incubator issues.

I'm already an admin on the Czech Wikipedia. Thanks in advance. — Timichal • 20:55, 11. Jun 2006

Done, granted till, say, July 12th. Jon Harald Søby 14:30, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I request temporary sysop access to Incubator until an active sysop base can be developed. Timichal (the only active sysop) is on temporary leave through the middle of July. I would complete appropriate admin tasks while Timichal is on leave. Requested sysop time span: 1 month. Thanks! I'm an active use on the English Wikipedia. --Randy Johnston (‽) 06:53, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Latin Wikibooks

I request sysop access on la.wikibooks:

• Language Code: la
• Local Request Link: la:Wikibooks:Administratores
• Local User Page: la:Usor:Dbmag9

I have not made many edits on the Wikibooks, however please look more at my edits on en:User:Dbmag9 and la:Usor:Dbmag9. To be honest the Latin Wikibooks is in a shambles, and I want to be able to fix it all up. This Administrator request is mainly because almost none of the MediaWiki messages are translated, and this needs urgent doing. Also, there are currently no users with any status on the project.

Thank you very much. -b:la:Usor:Dbmag9

Usually for localization work a temporary adminship is granted. How about two months for customizing the interface?

Should in the meantime a regular votation take place, the adminship can be made permanent. --Paginazero 08:25, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! That is exactly what I need. Should I list it seperately below, or leave the request here? -b:la:Usor:Dbmag9

No need for a new request. Done. Temporary sysophood until July 31st. Bye. --Paginazero 06:58, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Removal date: 31 July 2006

Zulu Wikipedia

I request temporary sysop access on zu.wikipedia:

• Language Code: zu
• Local Request Link: none
• Local User Page: zu:User:Jose77

I intend to translate the Zulu interface from English to Zulu.

I have managed to obtain a list of zulu words here (with the help of a native speaker).

Thankyou very much. --Jose77 03:51, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Tempory sysop status granted. Expires on 2006-10-26. Please also look at the BetaWiki-project. That is for making a neutral MediaWiki translation that then will be default for all wikis. Making the default Zulu translation is more usefull then only local on the zu.wikipedia Support irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-BiDi or http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-i18n/ --Walter 12:29, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Removed status on request of user --Walter 14:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
