mistake?

Hi Marco,

Thank you for doing this unthankful job of notifying people that their admin status is under review.

I am a bit wondering how you do this check of 10 actions though. In the past month I did 10 MediaWiki edits (I believe this still requires admin access?) and besides that made a few edits in the CentralNotice system. Still, it would only be narrowly above the threshold of 10 - so no big deal, but perhaps the case can help you improve your processes :) Best, Effeietsanders (talk) 11:00, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Effeietsanders,
First of all I would like to apologize for the mistake for listing you (and Notafish fwiw) on the to-sign list. I take the stats from this tool, however its results needs to be reviewed individually since some admin actions are not listed here or some steward actions are listed as admin actions which is wrong (I requested an improvement of the tool in jira:VVV-31 and jira:VVV-32). As such I spent the whole yesterday checking stats, reviewing contributions and public/private logs for each regular Meta-Wiki administrator. In that phase I assume I got confused by numbers or browser tabs and added your name mistakenly. I don't know what it happened exactly but yes, you're right and this is a mistake. As such I've removed your name from the confirmation pages.
MediaWiki edits of course count as admin action, the same as editting protected pages or doing CentralNotice stuff. You need at least admin tools for doing that.
The job is indeed unthankful and annoying, for me and I suppose for you all as well. I guess nobody likes to be told that you're inactive —specially when it's a mistake—.
Thanks for letting me know and sorry for any inconvenience. I'll review the lists more times before posting.
Regards,

Hey Marco,
No need to apologize :) Thanks for clearing up - mistakes are a part of the game. I don't think it is reasonable either if you spend even more time on the activity-checking, but maybe it would help if the checking happened a few days earlier, and to just publish the list (but not yet the notifications) so that other people can help check it if they like? Just a suggestion :).
I hope the bug gets fixed - not so much because there shouldn't be errors, but also because it should save you a lot of time! Thanks again,

Hi. I like your suggestion and I (if I'm still around) will do it by the next activity round. External audit is good. Thanks. Regards, -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 13:35, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
