Seagull.Stefanos@el.wikiquote

Status:    Done

As you have probably noticed, the 3 permanent administrators in Greek Wikiquotes (or "Βικιφθέγματα") are inactive (don't work for the project any more). For this reason, last March, I asked for temporary permission. The first 3-month permission (27.3 until 27.6.2009) was extended for an extra 5 month period, which expires tomorrow. Recently I put this problem under discussion in the Community Discussion Page of Βικιφθέγματα, asking for "votes". Until now 4 people have vote positively ("support"), most of them are administrators of the Greek Wikipedia. Among them is also "Θεόδωρος", one of the three inactive admins I mentioned before. So... could you, please, give me permanent permission? You have probably to know that, in fact, during these last 8 months, I'm the only one who take care of the Greek Wikiquotes, adding plenty of new articles and cheching if everything goes right in the project... --Seagull.Stefanos 08:51, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Sounds okay for me to give permanent access. Removed from Steward requests/Permissions/Approved temporary. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:38, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Ujjwol@Wiktionary

Status:    Done

See the link above for comments.

I strongly suggest checkusering these users. Prodego talk 07:00, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
The page history strongly suggests that all users supporting Ujjwol's adminship at the above-linked page are in fact the same user. CheckUser data appears to confirm that this is what is going on. This request is therefore not done, unless some further explanation can be given. — Dan | talk 07:24, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Let's keep in mind that Internet access in Nepal is not the same as it is in developed countries, and that these people all work together and probably use the same computer. It's hardly as nefarious as it's being made out to be. I have worked with Ujjwol on Wiktionary and I can vouch for his "character" if need be. He's no Grawp if that's what you all are thinking. Mike Halterman 07:30, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Fair point, I've switched the request status back to "in progress." I would like to hear from Ujjwol, though, before we go ahead with the request. — Dan | talk 07:34, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Okay, it seems the supporters were friends recruited by this user to vote for him. Unfortunately this does not amount to a community, but I see no problem with three months' temporary adminship. Done, to expire on 11 March 2010. Ujjwol, best of luck with the project, and I hope you can convince your friends to become active contributors. Mike, thanks for the lesson in being cautious. — Dan | talk 07:47, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Qaqqalik@Wikipedia project

Status:    Done

I speak the language and wanna help current administrator Kaare to re-edit/delete MediaWiki local message translations cause here uses translatewiki.net. And also removing vandalism. --Qaqqalik 20:29, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Seems like there is no opposition, but it would really be helpful if we could get a translation of that conversation... --FiliP ██ 22:37, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Summarized: The request is supported by the current administrator Kaare (who doesn't understand kl), and Qaqqalik understands kl.
Currently, the request is supported by three users, which isn't enough to give permanent sysopship, but if you like, we can give you three months temp. sysop (same thing, only we remove the rights after three months if you do not come back here and say you wish for three more months). Is this okey for you? Laaknor 20:01, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Three month okay for me, thx --Qaqqalik 20:08, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Ikatz@euwiktionary

Status:    Done

Hello, I'm Ikatz. I am the most active user of the Basque wiktionary and I want to be administrator. Now there are two administrators, but one of them never accesses to wiktionary and the second adminstrator accesses a little bit. Sometimes when there is vandalism, often spend days or even weeks before they are deleted and punished. Moreover, in the Basque wiktionary there are many things to do but some of them I can not do because I am not an administrator. I have not presented at the cafe to be adminstrator because there are only the second manager mentioned above and me. Besides the second administrator is who recommended me introduce myself just to administrator and I thought it wouldn't be necessary to vote in the cafe because it has already offered their support. Forgive me for my bad English. Thanks. --EH-Ikatz answer here 22:59, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Please do go to your local discussion area and mention that you'd like to help out. If there are no objections after a few days we can make you a temporary admin but we do like to see you ask for community input. After you do, come back and link to the discussion. Thanks. ++Lar: t/c 23:11, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
I have already volunteered to be administrator on the discussion rooms and the active administrator has already voted for it. --EH-Ikatz answer here 13:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Please, answer me I am waiting more for a week--EH-Ikatz answer here 21:19, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

As per a similar situation involving the user Bengoa on the same project, I'm applying parity and emulating Birdy's decision on that case, from July 25, 2009: adminship is granted for six months, expiring June 15, 2010, with the possibility of conversion to permanent adminship provided a minimum community input can be secured by then. Good luck. Redux 13:15, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello Sir Lestaty de Lioncourt, are you president of WM BR (sorry, but I don't see on Wikimedia_chapters#Composition_of_chapters who is in the Board of the Association) or do you have permission to represent Brazilian chapter? LeinaD (t) 12:51, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
I'd like to suggest that the br.wikimedia members use the wiki to organize a vote for chapter leadership and chapter project rights (admins, bureaucrats) so that there is little contention over who gets which role and the results are clearer to those of us who are not fluent in Portuguese. Kylu 02:29, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello kylu and Leinad, on the discussion mailing list is only for project rights, the chapter leadership is not defined yet. In accordance of the mailing my bureaucrat access is only for help (transwiki the pages of MetaWiki from brwikimedia, and make the necessary settings on Mediawiki) and to grant the sysop tools for other users who have requested them to help on the wiki. The link above shows the dissemination of interested in helping to maintain the wiki and the consensus for me to be granted the status of bureaucrat.

The Brazilian chapter don't have a formal "chapther leadership". And we support Sir Lestaty as bureaucrat. Béria Lima Msg 20:01, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Great Thanks for all Wiki-s! An conflict is boing betwen Grigor Gatchev and Seraphita for pages with Opinion. Such pages d’ont exist in Wikinews in Bulgarian. The opinion of Grigor Gatchev is this page cannot be creating because of non enough people in this Wikinews. My opinion is this pages may attract more users. What is ours opinion?

The English Wikipedia Arbitration Committee are well aware of the situation and are free to request desysopping should they wish to. There's by no means a clear consensus on the incidents noticeboard for an emergency desysop. Ryan Postlethwaite 16:02, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Not done. English Wikipedia has an ArbCom that has the power to request desysop if they wish it. Stewards will not override the local community elected officials. Laaknor 16:53, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
To clarify: If it's an emergency, stewards can, and will, desysop someone. Usually an emergency is urgent enough that the request happens on IRC, not here. But the decision to desysop is not taken lightly, especially when there is an ArbCom that can ask if it feels the need, and it has to be an actual emergency. Any situation that has discussion of this length is by definition not an emergency. ++Lar: t/c 18:51, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Fulup is not really active but he just deleted something 3 days ago, I prefer to see the local announcement to not hear things like "we did not know about this and were overruled by evil meta" etc. thanks for Your understanding, after this is open for some days I don't see any problem granting him adminship for 3 months and he can prolong it unbureaucratic then.
