Boilerplate Request for Permissions

The text below is a template for requesting specific permissions on a wiki. Please copy it and complete the three required points, plus other salient information.

===== Project name =====

I request sysop access on ''ps.wikipedia'':

*'''Language Code:''' ps
*'''Local Request Link:''' [[ps:Project:wikipedia]]
*'''Local User Page:''' [[ps:User:waliachakzai]]

Thank you. ~~~~

Notes:

1. Be sure to complete the information as requested. Without it, a steward cannot process the request.
2. Please add the request here after the community approval.
3. Be aware that local request page (RfA) may not be the same with the administrators page.

Note to Stewards: When you give someone Oversight, please list them on Hiding revisions. Thanks.

Note to those requesting Oversight: Do not request Oversight rights here; this is where the Arbitration Committee makes usergroup membership requests once they have agreed to give someone Oversight access. Thanks.

Note to Stewards: when someone ask a CheckUser status, please check the current policy of attribution of status before giving this status. When you give someone CheckUser, please list them on CheckUser. Thanks.

According to policy, there is no TEMPORARY status of checkuser. Either there are already checkuser on a project and these people must be asked to do the checkuser. Or there is nobody and a steward must do it. Giving a temporary status to anyone just simply asking it to a steward, with no agreement from the local community is against the checkuser status rules. Giving it with no request mentioned anywhere is even more problematic. Breaching these rules should imply removing the status of the steward if he can not be trusted to follow commonly accepted rules. If any one has a problem with this rule and wish that from now on, checkuser status be given to anyone without any community discussion, he must have the current rules changed, not breach them. Thanks Anthere 03:24, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Note: When giving someone checkuser, please (a) ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l and (b) email checkuser-l-owner@wikipedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list. (The list may contain confidential information.) - David Gerard 15:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Any request made in a different paragraph than this one should not be considered.

List here request for access to the status:

en.wikibooks.org

I am here to request check-user permissions for wikibooks:User:Derbeth. He has received 26 votes from people in our community since the start of the vote. He is also an active and exemplary vandal fighter, with whom our project has had no problems. We were trying to start a vote to find a second user worthy of check-user permissions, but agreeing on a good second candidate is a slow process (but we can all agree on wikibooks:User:Derbeth). We would like this user to gain the permissions ASAP, because we have had an influx of suspected sockpuppetry, especially on our VfD votes.

Thanks. --Whiteknight 16:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

rw:wikipedia

I request sysop access on rw.wikipedia:

Thank you. Inisheer 13:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There seems not be a lot of live in that wiki. But better ask it first there. Write on some public page that you would like to become sysop and of anybody has a problem with that. Wait 2 weeks and then ask it here again and include the link to that page where you asked it. --Walter 11:34, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I request sysop access on am.wikipedia on behalf of am:User:Tatari

I am one of the two sysops at the Amharic wikipedia. We have both agreed that Tatari can join us as a third, as he has been posting and contributing in Amharic. (Note: As senior sysop, I am also requesting below to be made a bureaucrat so this can be handled internally next time around)

Albanian Wikibooks (sq.wikibooks)

I request sysop access on sq.wikibooks:

• Language Code: sq
• Local Request Link: none
• Local User Page: User:Puntori
• Reason:in this project which is in Albanian language there is no sysop and we are not able to do nothing when we have problem with any kind of irresponsible peoples. In situation like this we can not work with all our capacity, for now we ar not working almost at all.

Admins for Wiktionary

Albanian Wiktionary (sq.wiktionary)

I request sysop access on sq.wiktionary:

• Language Code: sq
• Local User Page: User:Puntori
• Reason: in this project which is in Albanian language there is just one administrator and he can't give to other users to administrate so he is not able alone to administrate in Wiktionary because he's in same time administrator and in Wikipedia. So you can give to some one the right to have possibility to give administration access due to continue to work as we have started.

Nothing personally against you, but I'm not familiar with your work nor your involvement on Wikiversity. I would strongly suggest that the original organizing committee be given first access. And that only on a temporary basis until admins are selected. Also, is this a request for de.wikiversity, en.wikiversity. beta.wikiversity, fr.wikiversity or which wikiversity project? --Roberth 14:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat requests

Bureaucrats for Wikipedia

Scots Wikipedia

I request bureaucrat access on sco.wikipedia for sco:User:Mendor:

Sco currently has no bureaucrats and just two admins (of whom I am one and he is the other). In order to create more admins we need a bureaucrat. -- Derek Ross 04:58, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The vote finishes in July 24th, please don't request here until the vote results are ready. -Romihaitza 07:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And I'm sure that my request will still be here at that point. All that I have done is to follow the instructions for this page. If you are unhappy with the results, I suggest that you change the instructions. -- Derek Ross 19:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well there are more than 2 regular editors and I can name at least one Wikipedia with even less of a community and a bureaucrat so I am not quite sure what you mean. Perhaps you can point me to the policy that states the minimum size required or something because the only criterion I can find is the one that states "If your wiki does not have any bureaucrats, you can make your application at requests for permissions" on the bureaucrat page and the Scots Wikipedia certainly meets the "has no bureaucrats" criterion. -- Derek Ross 05:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Amharic Wikipedia

I request bureaucrat access on am.wikipedia for am:User:Codex Sinaiticus:

Our wikipedia is still small (345 articles), no bureaucrat, I am the first of two sysops, but we now have a candidate for third sysop (filed above). This will give the capability to promote future candidates to sysop internally. Thank you! Codex Sinaiticus 16:11, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is a need for bureaucrats there quite yet. Jon Harald Søby 12:38, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kapampangan Wikipedia

I request bureaucrat access on pam.wikipedia for users pam:User:Katimawan2005 and pam:User:Val2397:

Thank you. Harvzsf 05:55, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am a bit suspicious some of the voters there. None of them have userpages, and none of them have had any activity at all since voting (some of them had activity before voting, and some didn't). Neither of the bureaucrat candidates have userpages either. I think they are a bit too fresh to become bureaucrats at this point. Jon Harald Søby 12:42, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm afraid you're quite wrong there. The bureaucrat candidates are native speakers of Kapampangan. One of them pam:User:Katimawan2005 was the one who submitted the original proposal for the Kapampangan language Wikipedia in the first place. pam:User:Val2397 has also been active in the project. Where is it in the guidelines that candidates for bureaucrats have to have userpages? If there are more acceptable candidates for bureaucrats, why not nominate them since they can be nominated? Moreover, this is actually the third, if not the fourth time that requests for either sysops or bureaucrat rights for these same users have been filed since the creation of the Kapampangan language Wikipedia (this project was created in July 2005) and for some reason the stewards here in Meta have been changing the rules and denying the requests based on one technicality or another and prematurely archiving the requests.--Harvzsf 04:06, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cantonese Wikipedia

I request bureaucrat access on zh-yue.wikipedia for zh-yue:User:Shinjiman:

Since there's currently no bureaucrats in the Cantonese Wikipedia, and this request have been posted more than seven days.

Project name

I request bureaucrats access on fa.Wiktionary:

This project has two inactive sysops. My request has been posted since July 21, and some public musing has taken place about the state of adminship by a fellow user. There are less than a handful of active users, but fa.Wiktionary has gathered more than 2000 entries. The project is badly in need of maintenance, with many messages left untranslated, the css unsuitable for display in the Persian language, and a range of unrelated entries in need of deletion. I have been a bureaucrat on fa.Wikibooks and fa.Wikisoure since those projects were started. Kaveh 11:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some time ago, a bot in Serbian wikipedia (which was actually a man-handled account - sr:User:Сликобрисач) was given the sysop status so that he could delete unneeded images manually without clogging recent changes. When the project of deleting the images was finished, the guy who manually operated the bot (sr:User:Јованвб), a bureaucrat of ours, blocked the bot, because it became useless. Now, since the bot isn't doing anything anymore, we'd like to revoke its admin status (the guy unblocked the bot so that he could confirm that this is a valid request).

Please add here new requests. The approved requests can be found at /Approved temporary ordered by the period granted. Please do not archive temporary granted until the permissions are removed. Stewards, when granting, please mention the date of removal.

If you are requesting sysop-status to make a translation of the wiki see then also at the BetaWiki-project. That is a project for making a neutral MediaWiki translation that then will be default for all wikis. That is more usefull then making only a local translation.
