Requests for global rollback permissions

Shortcut:
SRGR
Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.
Please also review the Global rollback policy.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that: You have sufficient activity to meet the requirements to be allocated the global rollback flag

To make a request
Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain of why you need the access and why you're suitable.
=== Global rollback for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user -->
}}
::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+5 days}} UTC''

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than 5 days (with rare exceptions , no matter how obvious the result may seem). This is not a vote, and all input is welcome. Stewards will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in cross-wiki work will be most influential.

Global rollback for FalconL

Status:    Done

Hi, I´d like to get the GR flag. I already tried it a month ago, which was maybe too early. Now I spent some time fighting vandalism using the #cvn-sw IRC channel. I already have rollback on dewiki and commons. GR would help me to revert vandalism in a more effective way. In addition, GR would suppress this silly captchas. Of course, I only revert an edit if I´m absolutely sure it´s vandalism. Until now, I never heard a complaint about my work. Last time, my request only failed because I was too new. Regards, FalconL ?! 17:35, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seems everyone agrees, so Done. -- Mentifisto 10:58, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Global sysop for Teles

Status:    Done

Hi. I'm requesting this tool because, after a few time of crosswiki vandalism combat, I believe I can help a bit more. On february, the community granted me the global rollbacker flag. Since then, I am still active on this job. I think the permissions I will use more would be "delete" and "block". I mark pages to deletion and, when suitable, I list them on "Steward requests/Speedy deletions/Bot-reported". With the tool I still would keep only marking pages, since most of them have to be deleted by local sysops, but in some cases I will delete them by myself according to global sysop scope. The blocking permission is commonly less needed, but there are ocasions that users keep vandalizing even after a few warnings. When it happens, I have to report to stewards or global sysops on IRC channels. I understand that this tool should be used carefully and only when there is no local users to do it in time. I have some experience with sysop tools. I am sysop on Portuguese Wikipedia since january 2009 and most recently on Strategy wiki. I will answer any question somebody might want to make and respect the decision. Thanks.” Teles (Talk @ C S) 06:48, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Comment. I tried to usurp a year ago. The account is not active, but has more than 600 edits and the request was denied, which is comprehensible. If it is a problem, it is ok for me to rename.” Teles (Talk @ C S) 23:51, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah well... I see that Greek has opted out, so it's not that big of a deal; I'd just hate to see some unknown person wake up to "hey new buttons! I wonder what those are for..." Seb az86556 00:11, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
AFAIK global rights only work on unified accounts, not unrelated accounts which simply happen to have the same name. Jafeluv 00:21, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd feel more comfortable if the Greek account is usurped. Teles will have sysop access to Greek wikibooks, Greek wikinews, Greek wikiquote, Greek wikisource, Greek wikiversity and Greek wiktionary, and might be mistaken for el:User:Teles ... axpdeHello! 12:38, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Me too, but the account won't be usurped unfortunately. Despite inactive, it has more than 600 edits as said above. If it is a real problem, I will rename my account (possibly to my previous and real name: Lucas Teles). I guess we should wait for the result of this request and rename only if approved. Although I really want to keep my name, I won't make it an impediment. Thanks for pointing it out.” Teles (Talk @ C S) 22:28, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It could be easier and as effective if you just explicitly state that Teles on elwiki isn't connected. I've observed others with common usernames who have a similar problem (usually on a big wiki like el, which probably doesn't entail as much crosswiki work due to the size of the local community) - the fix might be to create another account specifically for that site, but not necessarily rename all the other accounts. I personally don't see an issue with it. -- Mentifisto 22:45, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done Consensus has been reached. Ruslik 05:42, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
