Administrator access

小躍@hak.wikipedia

I want to make Wikipedia's contributions in the Hakka wiki. Don’t encounter any destruction,so I work as time the Administrator, Can the management edition, the protection, delete the page and restore the page, and manage all users.--林躍錩 11:15, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think he is asking for extension to his sysop status as his temporary permission expires on 24 Nov 2009—Bencmq 11:47, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please make an annoucement on hakwiki about this, so if users don't want you to continue we will know? Otherwise, I'll prolong this closer to the expiry date.  — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 18:28, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Marmzok@ckbwiki

Hi. I request Administrator and Bureaucrat accesses for our new Wikipedia after the community voting. The election started 16/10/2009 and ended 31/10/2009. Thanks --Marmzok 13:30, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Half-done - granted sysop status. Ckb.wiki has only one sysop (after that two sysops), relatively small community, in my opinion it's not enough for granting bureaucrat access. Moreover, please look at bureaucrat: "A small community generally doesn't require a local bureaucrat, because stewards can easily handle the low traffic of requests from that wiki with little delay; generally a user with this access is not needed until several local administrators are present.". Other opinions? LeinaD (t) 15:32, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. No need for crats just yet, I don't think. ++Lar: t/c 17:06, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've marked this request as completed.  — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 18:25, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Amdf@mhr.wikipedia

My sysop access will expire 15-11-2009, please prolong it. амдф 15:36, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please make a local announcement so if others object they can say so. - Andre Engels 23:37, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. амдф 19:50, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

J.delanoy@tpiwiki

I temporarily assigned J.delanoy administrator access on tpiwiki to clear a deletion backlog, there being no active local administrators. He is now done and the access was revoked. —Pathoschild 18:07:07, 06 November 2009 (UTC)

Bureaucrat access

Borislav@bg.wikinews

Excuse me for reviving this discussion so soon after it was archived, but I feel that certain details were not well explained which led to some haste and waste. Since I am also in touch with these details, I'd like to mend the matters and explain again why is this request for an exception of the general rules.

The Bulgarian contributing community is relatively small, not enough human resources to cover all sister projects and most of the people who voluntarily contribute to Wikimedia are those who contribute to Wikipedia. Another reason, especially concerning BG Wikinews, may be that, to the best of my knowledge, we don't have in Bulgaria a news media that originally releases news under free license, so we don't have such a free data source, while using non-free media (paraphrasing texts, access to images) consumes more efforts than those available.

Now, one of our wikipedians Grigor Gatchev (Григор Гачев, check SUL, a local user, bot operator, holder of several own wikis, programmer and active promoter of free software) used his personal contacts and managed to convince one relatively small but flexible Bulgarian news media to release some of its content under CC-BY. He also programmed a special bot to wikify and import this content on a daily basis, roughly 20-30 articles per day. Which already comprises a big resource, at least big for our humble standards; and freely licensed, which is no less victory :)

So, he will need bot status. But before he leaves the bot running, he will need to first make some tests which require the flag be changed on, off, on, off... (due to some already encountered problems with captcha and other fine tunings). Which means either constantly bugging stewards with such requests (which would take much more time, efforts) or the other option is that we have a local bureaucrat on BG Wikinews, and so far there is only one admin, Borislav, the person who once requested the opening of all BG projects and has been given either bureaucrat or admin rights in all of them (check his SUL and user rights). This is why Grigor used the phrase "natural choice" in his first request.

Our point is that presently there is nothing in BG Wikinews, around which a community may be built, while Grigor's efforts to run the news bot may very soon break the vicious circle and bring readers, and of course editors. An explanation was given that the wiki must have at least 5 admins in order to apply for crat, but with a *currently* active and interested community tending to zero this simply cannot happen in reasonable time.

So a community may start forming, only when there is *something* around which they may gather, a resource, which has lacked for about 6 years, and only now we have the chance to have it. Once we have the content, admins and crats will be very soon really needed to clean after the (inevitable) vandals, to help operating the bot (giving and removing the flag when needed) and do maintenance which is not accessible to regular editors. One admin will not be able to do all the job, while the lack of a crat to facilitate the bot operator's job will hinder its initial fine-tuning which may affect the quality of the bot job. It is not a good idea to make the project's progress constantly dependent on stewards for decisions of purely operational nature.

In other words, it is really an exceptional request that we'd like to be granted more trust than the usual procedure provides, but the idea and the expected result is really promising and the people involved (Borislav and Grigor, after writing you - me too :-) ) are not going to abuse this trust, as we haven't done it so far in all other sister projects where we actively contribute. Thank you in advance. → 20:01, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done I've spoken independently to Spiritia. Given the user involved and the nature of the request, as the local project is intending on granting and removing the bot flag, and that I'm convinced that doing this supports the growth of the nascent Bulgarian Wikinews project. bastique ^demandez! 20:05, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does that communication address the reasons it wasn't done originally?  — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 20:11, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it addresses the fact that the reason it wasn't done before was per policy, and that I've granted it as an exception to the policy, in my position, because I'm convinced it will foster the growth of the project. I've also acknowledged that it was declined before per policy, as was appropriate. bastique ^demandez! 20:16, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, you granted him bureaucrat flag (I'm bit confused), but who will control what happens on bg.wikinews? If this is an exception, it should be somehow controlled. In my opinion permanent bureaucrat should be turned into temporary access - on one year period with possibility of prolongation. It's too small project for permanent bureaucrat. LeinaD (t) 11:06, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

who will control what happens on bg.wikinews? -- what this has to do with bureaucrat privileges? --Петър Петров 10:46, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Granting administrator access by bureaucrat have to base on decision of community, but bg.wikinews is a very small community, so it should be controlled. LeinaD (t) 14:48, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In view of the fact that bureaucrat right has been granted as an exception to the policy, it must be on special condition: temporary access. Bureaucrat right has been turned into temporary access, expires: 8-11-2010. Please come back a few days before the status expires to prolong it or hold a local voting if the community grows. Note for stewards: Before prolonging please check bureaucrat's activity. LeinaD (t) 16:48, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
