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 (other than requests that are unlikely to pass under any circumstances, no other exceptions are allowed , 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 sysop for Vituzzu

Status:    In progress

I've been a global rollbacker for 8 months and a sysop & bureaucrat on it.wiki since 2008, I'm mainly active in fighting crosswiki spam and I use to do daily patrol on It-projects (Italian language, not Information Technology ;p), I think globalsysop flag could help be in monitoring abuses on small projects. --Vituzzu 21:26, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for global editinterface permissions

Global editinterface for Hoo man

Status:    Done

Hello, I decided to be bold and go for permanent global editinterface. I'm an experienced Javascript and CSS user (no guru, but still pretty much, as you can see from my user scripts or my work on central notices). I'm going to use this right to fix JavaScript and CSS errors on small and mid sized wikis, where global sysop doesn't apply. I quite often come over such and let it then fix by stewards or ask for temp. global editinterface. Of course I know that I'm not allowed to do anything else then fixing such errors and may working on local administrators request (they often aren't able to do JS work at their own even though they technically could). Furthermore I think I'm trusty enough to hold this right and you can be sure that I wont abuse it. I hope that I have your trust and that I can take some heat from stewards with that, Thanks - Hoo man (talk) 15:42, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Support It's an unusual request, but it's also from an unusually good person. I think that Hoo man has shown time and again that trust is not an issue nor is need or competence. As such I support either a permanent or long-term (1 year recurring or such) grant. fr33kman 15:49, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - For sure! I know you will make a great editinterface user! Joe Gazz84 15:46, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Anything hoo wants, hoo gets! very active and trusted user. Theo10011 15:50, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support If I could assign those rights, i would had done it right now.:) I understand the needs of small wiki and you can help in fulfilling them.Vibhijain 15:55, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Hoo man has already been granted temporary global editinterface twice, is more than competent when it comes to JS/CSS (and I am very jealous :P), and these rights would allow him to better help out around Wikimedia. Ajraddatz (Talk) 15:56, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Unusual request, yes, but Hoo does great work and will not break anything. So giving it permanently is a good idea. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 16:09, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support - Sure. The user is trusted and got this right already temporary to fix things. Might be better to give him this right permanently. -Barras 16:10, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • As Fr33kman says this is indeed an unusual request. In the past such requests were declined on sight. Moreover the editinterface right was never intended to be permanent as far as I know (it was an ad hoc global group created for an specific purpose that was later deleted, recreated and re-deleted again). In the past it gave some problems: interferences with local communities in their site's configuration pages and so on. We have currently 3 users on that group: Krinkle as a Foundation Contractor, Kaldari (non-staff account of Ryan Kaldari: staff member and system administrator) and Hannibal (Wikimedia Foundation staff member). Their rights probably will be removed once they end their contract with the Foundation. I am sure that Hoo man would act in good faith and care and try to respect the local communities but I think that giving this flag in a permanent basis would set a bad precedent in my opinion. Good user indeed but I'm not sure what to !vote here. -- Dferg ☎ talk 17:19, 20 June 2011 (UTC) (re-edited)[reply]
    • Oppose Oppose After further consideration I definitelly have to post a red flag here. Also «I'm going to use this right to fix JavaScript and CSS errors on small and mid sized wikis, where global sysop doesn't apply» worries me, as this task is also outside the global sysops scope... <sigh>. Not a matter of trust as I've said above. -- Dferg ☎ talk 23:53, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Per almost everyone, although I can understand Dferg. Perhaps it's an idea to grant it for a year (as Fr33kman suggested)? Trijnstel 19:40, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    The more I think about it, the more a fixed recurring term rather than a perm term makes sense for regular oversight to occur. It's a way of getting competent members of the community involved in interface editing. fr33kman 20:10, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose oppose per comment by Dferg, defiantly it is not matter of trust, hoo is trustworthy Mardetanha talk 20:03, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support permanent. Not at all worried about this request. PeterSymonds (talk) 20:14, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Seems a good reason, and hoo is definately trustworthy. Stop by and fix up ScoWp, will ya? ;-) Avicennasis 20:18, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure, but what is broken over there? There's no vector.js and no common.js, only a monobook.js which contains an object with strings which I don't know what they're used for (if used at all) - Hoo man (talk) 20:23, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Replied at your talk page. :) Avicennasis 21:03, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Aye, as always. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 07:42, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Does great work, trustworthy user. –BruTe talk 08:07, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support It might be unusual, but he is competent and his help could be very useful for smaller projects which don´t have competent users for such tasks. --FalconL ?! 12:58, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I tend to chime in with Dferg, but let's see... Question Question: How much of a need is there for this kind of stuff? you write "quite often"... what does that mean? daily? weekly? And how urgent is it in those cases? Seb az86556 20:25, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I would say that I come across such stuff about one to two times a week, usually that can be fixed with my global sysops rights then, but not always. Furthermore after that addition I can work more often on request of local administrators or users (as I already did a few times) - Hoo man (talk) 20:29, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And how do you justify the request for having this flag permanently? Seb az86556 23:33, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's always hard to get a steward to set the flag or apply the stuff at his own from pastebin. And because there wont be any abuse from me I don't see a problem in having the flag permanent, cause it has no real downsides - Hoo man (talk) 23:36, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well... well... well... nope. Something's not right here. This would just create a precedent that I cannot support. Even stewards have to stand for reconfirmation periodically. Oppose permanent. You should have to come back every year or so to have it re-confirmed. Seb az86556 23:44, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per Trijnstel :) mickit 21:29, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support He is more than trustwhorty (my own experience), and as I am one of those boring users from small projects who always want something to be done, I know that this access will be benefit for his work. BTW he is the owner of the only bot with sysop flag on bswiki even through the language barriere. --WizardOfOz talk 21:40, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support for steward next year. This too, competent and trusted. Courcelles 21:45, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Done Taking into account that the global editinterface group has been intended to be given only temporarily, and that there are objections to giving it permanently, a reasonable compromise is to assign it for one year. After a year, Hoo man may request a renewal for another year. Ruslik 14:40, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
