Administrator access

RG72@eowiktionary

Hello! I have been working for Esperanto-Wiktionary since 2014, having created a number of articles like [1], [2], [3] and major lists like [4], [5] and I believe that this important project needs an administrator, which it has not had for many years.

I announced my candidacy on November 12 and have since received 10 votes in favor (one was later withdrawn due to a smear campaign launched by former administrator Taylor79, who was deprived of this status by decision of the stewards due to endless conflicts and arbitrariness), 4 votes against. For this reason, please, promote me to administrator position.RG72 (talk) 16:36, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold Per removal request below. -- Amanda (she/her) 19:20, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I checked this project a lot in the last 2 years and I didn't notice a lot of active users there! Some of voters never edited there. Is there an explanation for this (like notifying them on social or on another projects)? Thanks. Superpes15 (talk) 00:16, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Other request was closed with removal. -- Amanda (she/her) 06:26, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AmandaNP: just a heads up, the removal request was for eowiki, but this adminship request is for eowiktionary. EPIC (talk) 07:00, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, struck and still up for consideration. -- Amanda (she/her) 07:19, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the project is not yet ready to have a local sysop. I see this election with a lot of votes made by users who aren't active here (and are from eowiki). Stewards removed the local sysops on eowikt after quarrels and abuse between two administrators some years ago and, since that, I've always observed the project while also performing ordinary maintenance actions (the two formers sysops continued to argue also using heavy insults between each other). I don't think it's a very good idea to give the flag to a third user who hasn't really been active in the project for a long time and immediately after their deflag on eowiki! Thanks

P.S. Note that the support votes are 9 and not 10 (although, coming from users who are not very active there, I couldn't define their value). Superpes15 (talk) 09:37, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hzy980512@zh.wiktionary

The election had ended with 5 supports and no oppose. Seeking for prolonging the adminship. --—TongcyDai  ฅ • ω • ฅ 05:44, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TongcyDai and Hzy980512: Just to confirm, was it specified in the local request that the interface administrator flag is also requested, and can you please confirm that this request is for both flags? Thanks Superpes15 (talk) 18:02, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The local request didn't include the interface admin flag because I didn't remember to but I would appreciate it if you could also prolong the interface adminship since I am also known as an interface administrator in the local community. Or do I need to run a local vote again just for the interface adminship? -- Hzy980512 (talk) 18:55, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hzy980512: Yep! A new local discussion is required and then you should post here after a week :) Don't worry, because we'll prolong both for the same expiration, so next time you'll ask both flag in the same request, just remember ask to have the IA flag with the same expiration as sysop one when requesting here, because it's not necessarily me who processes the request! Thanks :) Superpes15 (talk) 01:01, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Granted for 2 years to expire on 2026-01-29. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. --Superpes15 (talk) 01:03, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

李瞬生@lzhwiki

My rights will soon expire. Ask for approval to extend the term, thanks. The vote has ended with 4 supports. --李瞬生 (talk) 14:26, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Non-steward comment @李瞬生: I'm assuming you are requesting a renewal of your rights, and not a removal of access? If so, this should be placed under the section "Administrator access". Now done by user. EPIC (talk) 14:21, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done @李瞬生: First of all the local request started on 25 January and you should wait a week before posting here.

Also, the flag will expire on 25 February, so I suggest you open a new local request on 17 February, and then ask for the flag here on 24 February, otherwise your flag will be assigned starting from the current date (and, if you prefer this case, just post here again starting 1 February - 7 days of discussion). Thanks for your understanding --Superpes15 (talk) 18:09, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good day. Thank you for your reply, because I will be very busy in February. To prevent forgetting, I will apply again in a few days. 李瞬生 (talk) 06:54, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@李瞬生: So, no problem, the request is not too old and you can keep this one (we can consider it valid if it isn’t so hold) :) Just post here again! Thanks! Superpes15 (talk) 10:05, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mohanad@arwikiversity

For a while, I contributed to the project from time to time, and sought to improve it and protect it "as much I can" from vandalism. Recently there is a very weak activity and sometimes the only admin has been busy and may need some help --Mohanad (talk) 02:11, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Granted for 3 months to expire on 2024-04-28. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. --Superpes15 (talk) 18:13, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tvcccp@th.wikibooks

Dear Sir. Please consider appointing administrator rights to user:Tvcccp. This is because he has experience as an administrator on Thai Wikiquote and willing to act as an administrator on Thai Wikibooks. Best regards. --B20180 (talk) 09:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Granted for 6 months to expire on 2024-07-29. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks.

Interface administrator access

Như Gây Mê@cebwiki

It's been 7 days since the discussion (Asia/Manila time, UTC+8). Thanks! Halley ^{luv Filipino ❤} 05:15, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold Hello @Như Gây Mê:. You should have mentioned here that you've a local bureaucrat. I'll put this on hold and will wait for another week (I'm trying to contact the local bureaucrat and, if they don't reply after a week, we'll proceed). Thanks --Superpes15 (talk) 11:18, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understood and will wait! But I have a question, do I need to create another discussion to request bureaucrat permission? Thanks Halley ^{luv Filipino ❤} 12:30, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Như Gây Mê: Unfortunately the project is not so large and doesn't need other bureaucrats (so we won't flag new 'crats - see here for further informations). If I looked correctly, the current 'crat falls into AAR23 and, if they don't reply after the notifications, will likely be removed. For obvious reasons we cannot remove bureaucrats where they already exist but, in small projects where they don't exist or have been removed, we currently manage the permissions, also because it's difficult to see a project with 6 permanent sysop and 15 votes made by active users. I personally don't see the need for bureaucrats in projects with very few actions required (this flag is mainly needed in larger wikis). Furthermore, local bureaucrats generally give flags without expiration, this, in projects where there is no broad consensus and users are often inactives, can lead to problems. If I were the only bureaucrat of such a project, personally, I would resign immediately so as not to leave problems even in the event of my inactivity (but it is a personal opinion - even if I have seen others who have done so in the past - but I also see some users who want to keep the 'crat flag even without performing any action for years). Thanks :) Superpes15 (talk) 12:43, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understood, thanks! Halley ^{luv Filipino ❤} 12:52, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I applied for the fourth time. It was last granted for two years in January 2022. Thanks --ToprakM ^✉ 16:53, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of access

Hammad@urwiki

Please remove admin access. Inactive admin for a quite long. Local consensus link has been provided above.─ The Aafī ^(talk) 12:43, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A note about this inactive admin. They appear to have one protect log in entire 2023. Very few logs in 2022/2021. Overall inactive. ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 15:42, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done --Superpes15 (talk) 00:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Muhammad Umair Mirza@urwiki

Please remove admin access. Inactive admin for a quite long. Local consensus link has been provided above.─ The Aafī ^(talk) 12:43, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A note about this inactive admin. Their administrative logs except deletion are empty, and the last deletion log is from 17 September 2021. I could see a total of "11" delete logs. ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 15:39, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done --Superpes15 (talk) 00:56, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ساجد امجد ساجد@urwiki

Please remove admin access. Inactive admin for a quite long. Local consensus link has been provided above.─ The Aafī ^(talk) 12:43, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @TheAafi:, this sysop seems to be active. Why don't you create a precise local policy? This request seems a bit difficult to me, because it's true that there is a certain consensus, but I see actions from the admins reported both in the last months of the 2023 and (for this user) also in 2024, so they're technically active and they don't even fall under the AAR. What is your inactivity threshold and how did you consider the inactivity of the admins? Just want to understand better! Thanks :) --Superpes15 (talk) 14:50, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Superpes15: I positively take your concerns. What concerns the local community is the inactive involvement of the user in administrative areas. I do see their recent logs (more recent) although these don't appeal me. For example, deleting an article and then restoring it, one single log of protection after more than one and half a year; the last was on 31 October 2021 and more recent is on 20 December 2023. Last block log is from 2012. This is to say the user has entirely three (one protect, one delete and one restore) administrative actions in 2023. I do not see a precise procedural policy (which discusses administrative involvement) per se and would initiate a discussion likewise on the Village pump. ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 15:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have initiated a discussion right away here. ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 16:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just waiting for its result (so we have clear inactivity parameters) and deciding if proceed with the requests above :) Superpes15 (talk) 16:03, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Superpes15: I should have an update about the inactivity parameters on January 28 after 15:58 UTC. ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 05:57, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Superpes15: There is a consensus that if an admin passes either or all of the three criterias, they will be desysoped. 1: No edits and no logs during last six months. 2: Have less than 20 administrative logs during last six months and 3: Have less than 100 edits in the last six months. Best regards, ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 17:32, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @TheAafi:! About the 3 requests above, are the requests for desysop still valid, thanks? Superpes15 (talk) 17:39, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

per the requirements, yes. ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 17:40, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheAafi: Thanks! Please remember to add your policy here :) Superpes15 (talk) 17:41, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Superpes15: Thanks for the link. It was on my mind. I will update all the relevant policy pages by tomorrow. ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 17:43, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheAafi: Ok, I'll wait for the local policy page, so I can link it in the removal log :) Thanks! Superpes15 (talk) 17:55, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Superpes15: So I took some time and prepared a basic policy page: ur:ویکیپیڈیا:غیر فعال منتظمین ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 18:56, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done @TheAafi: Just to confirm that I processed the requests, mainly because you reach a consensus for the deflag. To apply the new policy without considering the vote, instead, I'd have asked you to notify affected users of the new policy and wait for feedback, also to guarantee the correctness of the procedure! Thanks for your assistance :) --Superpes15 (talk) 00:58, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Superpes15: Thanks. Interestingly, this specific user has voted in favour of the policy and is aware. I will drop them individual notes of the removal. ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 01:54, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Вальдимар@ukwiki

Please remove admin access. --YarikUkraine (talk) 22:31, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done -- Amanda (she/her) 00:08, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
