This project should be closed, so there is no need for sysop, IMO. Yann 12:41, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[2]

Well this project is not closed and has been in existence for over a year. If the project should be closed it should have been done a long time ago, and not now. It is not fair to leave a project open and have people give up their free time only to see the whole thing deleted. Unless there are objections to Flcelloguy being made a admin then I see no reason why access should not be granted.

  • I am totally against this. Jovanvb has shown nothing but good will and even though he did not respond at so called vandalism, he didn't vandalise anything thus making him not guilty. --Dungodung 18:58, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Jovanvb has shown nothing but good will. Hahaha. Good will is supporting vandalism!??? Oh my God! --Pokrajac 19:18, 7 January 2006 (UTC)


Please, again, can anybody do something and protect all Wikimedia from this vandals!? --Pokrajac 19:20, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

If it's for the good cause, then it's OK. Face it - Serbocroatian has been extinct for AT LEAST 10 years! Jovanvb, myself and few others were supporting the idea User:Millica was trying to convey, but you cut off our freedom of choice and opinion. Now that's what I call vandalism. You should be banned from editing sh: because of the abuse of your priviledges! --Dungodung 19:23, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
This is political oppinion. Because of that he is supporting vandalism!? This is catastrophic! --Pokrajac 19:25, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
I think that you were taught that tollerance means respecting other people's opinions and calling our opinions "catastrophic" is pure disrespect and goes against everything you believe in. Don't let me remind you of your own user page where you state so. --Dungodung 19:28, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
You and some others are supporting extreme vandal - Millica! How you can be on Meta anyway!? --Pokrajac 19:31, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Why can't we be here? Is it forbidden for us? Do we need your permission? Hah, such lame excuses you make. You should be ashamed of yourself for being so stubborn. :p --Dungodung 19:32, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Removal from sysop status should be a collective decision on your project. You should create a voting page there and have editors give their opinion. Greetings Anthere 19:31, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Pokrajac is afraid to do that because he knows he'll lose. That's why he blocked us all without ANY support. That's abuse, right? --Dungodung 19:34, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
You have not be there. I was blocked vandals. Jovan bocked me, and I cant do edits on sh Wikipedia. :) --Pokrajac 19:37, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
What difference does it make? You unblocked yourself and besides, you blocked him first, so that doesn't change a thing. --Dungodung 19:40, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Pokrajac is sadly working against community consensus here. His intentions aren't bad, but he has shown himself to be unable to cooperate and to accept a clearly expressed consensus. Accusing innocent people of supporting vandalism is a tactic that should be avoided. Vandalism works against the whole community. Here, Јованвб (Jovanvb) is actually expressing the wish of the community, not going against it. Users who ordinarily hold a range of differing opinions on various issues have come to an agreement here, and Pokrajac is actually the only one opposed to it. Unfortunately, his position as a bureaucrat gives him the ability to ignore the consensus, but punishing people for simply expressing their opinions is, in my opinion, a very grave offence against the unwritten Wikipedia code. --Elephantus 19:51, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
You dont have even 50 edits! Everyone from street can vote. --Pokrajac 20:40, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
My bot account there has 186 edits (and I was accessing that account when I made edits)! --Dungodung 20:41, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Many of the articles I contributed to extensively or wrote completely were copied verbatim to this Wikipedia, thus creating an internal fork. So I consider myself to have a say in this matter, and not a small one. --Elephantus 20:42, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Exactly! When I followed Pokrajac's reverting, I noticed that some of articles I wrote (from sr:) were being there. There is no reason whatsoever for the sole existence of the project if it mirrors work made by 3 other wikipedia wikipedians. This is an outrage and something like this has to be stopped before it spreads anymore. --Dungodung 20:46, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
And let me remind you that most of the voters weren't just some people from the streets. They were respected contributors and sysops from other projects. --Dungodung 20:46, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but you are vandal supporter, and you are blocked. --Pokrajac 20:46, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but you are the one that's doing vandalism, so you SHOULD be blocked. --Dungodung 20:59, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm just reverting vandalism which you are supporting.:)))))) --Pokrajac 21:01, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Quit stating things we have already talked about, so I won't dignify your statement with a reply. Your impertinence is driving everyone crazy. --Dungodung 21:04, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
You are supporting vandalism and that is a true fact. Every word here is proving that. So quit proving that. I revrted last vandalised article. --Pokrajac 21:46, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm supporting the truth and my beliefs don't have anything to do with vandalism. I see we're going in circles, because I won't give up and you're stubburn with your convictions. Maybe we should really lock the whole project until we come to an agreement. --Dungodung 22:00, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

This users was blocked only becouse they are voting on wikipedia. They didnt make any vandalism. If pokrajac think that this is vandalism this isn't a place for him --Jovanvb 22:18, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Here is what happened: A vandal (User:Milica), blanked a bunch of articles, and got nominated for temp admin (we still don't have sysop granting procedure in place). A bunch of people expressed their support, although they had none or close to none contributions. Pokrajac probably blocked them just to stop possible sock puppets. Jovanvb unblocked himself, without discussion. --Dcabrilo


Tell you what people, we'll start a straw poll for a week whether or not we should close this wiki. For this time, I ask everyone (mainly Jovanvb and Pokrajac) to stop blocking people and reverting anything on sh.wikipedia. Here's a link to the vote - [6]. Datrio 22:52, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

With all due respect Datrio, you CANNOT start a poll just like that. People are working on that wiki, and few POV pushers can now move to close it?--Dcabrilo

Node_ue@mowiki

I desysopped Node_ue on http://mo.wikipedia.org because he blocked another user (Pavel) because of he disagreement over the ongoing dispute about the Modavian Wikipedia. Beside that, Node_ue doesn't speak the language and was only "elected" with two votes in favour and one against him. Yann 19:12, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Where did you get these ideas? Clearly, you were biased against me from the start -- you called me a troll on your own talkpage! I'm not 100% sure, but I'm guessing that it's not exactly orthodox to remove or give permissions to a user with whom you have a history of less-than-friendly relations.
Now, as I explained to you, I did not block Pavel because of the ongoing dispute!!!! I blocked him for 3 days because he was moving dozens of pages in rapid succession and replacing their entire contents, without discussing it first! How do you know I don't speak the language? I may not speak it perfectly, but I certainly speak it better than you -- I'm pretty sure you don't know it. Also, see Romihaitza's comments re:Anittas' vote against me. --Node ue 20:29, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
How dare you to speak like that node? Yann had all the right to desysoped you. I'm wonder why he didn't even blocked you indefinitely for such a bad approach of you. Fratele lui Bonaparte, il cunosti? 20:40, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I ask for my sysop permission again. Now we currently have four sysops that Avichai gave them this status for the same purpose, translating the interface, but none of them were in the site for the past week, and some of them lost any interest in this project. We can't vote on the sysop's issue as there are only 1-2 people that edit the site nowadays, and nobody wants to be a bureaucrat. Last month, when we had more editors, we decided that the site will stay in a beta version until the end of the year. Meanwhile, there are a few cases of vandalism and we virtually can't do anything. We may manually revert, and hide all the not-news articles from the readers, or simply do nothing as there aren’t any readers at all, but it is not a good solution. None 08:16, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
Your mistake is that you desysop me and None (the only active users) and left the others. please make me and None sysops again and desysop Morl, Yonidebest and Ches. you can also give one of us the bureaucrat job in case someone will volenteer at the opening of the site. thanks a lot, Avichai 13:24, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

b:es:Almorca

I would like to request a temporary sysop status in Spanish Wikibooks, to change the logo acourding with that votation. -- Almorca 21:08, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Done--Shizhao 06:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
I am perplex. On meta, only a request for temporary sysophood is requested. But Almorca is both sysop and bureaucrat. I looked in 2005 archives and could find no place where he requested sysophood and bureaucrat status and the votation page does not give me more information. Accordingly, I removed both status (they should have probably been temporary ?). In case there is a problem with this, please show me the page on es wikibooks where you were granted permanent dual status by the community. Thanks Anthere
I saw this yesterday, Almorca has made sysop duties at least since April 2004 (according to the site's log). So my guess is that he was only asking a change of logo, which is now changed. I asked Almorca for more information about his request before archiving it. --Ascánder 12:20, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
I've found the election vote for Almorca here. If nobody objects I'll restore his sysop and bureaucrat flags tomorrow. --Ascánder 17:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
seeing the local bureaucrat log, and not finding anything against almorca, i don't object. but why did he/she ask for "temporary sysophood"?? oscar 23:52, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
And why is the vote in 2005 if he has been sysop since 2004 ? I suppose he actually was given (then removed) an "import" status. Anyway, at least Ascander is able to read the candidatura pages over there, so naturally, no objection. Anthere
He explained in my talk page that he thought he needed a special flag to change the logo of the project. Two weeks later the logo was changed and he forgot his request until today (I'm sorry Anthere, I meant since April 2005). --Ascánder 00:15, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Flags restored --Ascánder 00:20, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
(after edit conflict:)so i also understood, therefore no objection to restoring almorca's rights. oscar 00:22, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

wikt:en:User:Jon Harald Søby

There was ongoing impersonating of the most active member (~10 accounts with almost identical names), and no admins online on IRC (and since nothing by this/these users was deleted/reverted, I assume no admin was online at all). I did a Checkuser on a few of them, but without any firm results. I blocked them all for three days (an eventual infinite block will be up to the local admins). Jon Harald Søby 19:38, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

The same done today, one IP blocked after checkusering. Jon Harald Søby 18:33, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Removal of checkuser

  • Oxydo@arwiki. I did not find where he got the permission to have this status. If I was wrong, please add the link to the page where the status was requested and approved. Anthere 09:41, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Ah, found it. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_permissions/Archive1#arabic_wikipedia_-_checkuser

The users concerned were

  • ar:User:Tarawneh
  • ar:User:Chaos
  • ar:User:Oxydo
  • ar:User:Jak

They should be listed on CheckUser if status is restored. According to the ar voting page, they did not comply to the current policy to get access (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CheckUser_Policy#Access). Not enough voters.

So, I am removing them for now. I saw that a couple of them made some checks, but these were not numerous at all. I fully understand why they were made checkuser, but what is the point of having a policy if we do not follow it at all ? If it is not suitable, then proposition should be made to modify it.
