Hi i have gained consensus regarding bureacrat and sysop access, kindly update my status if i am eligible--Mayur 05:45, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

It is longstanding practice not to grant bureaucrat access to those who do not gain at least 15 votes in favour. Other stewards are welcome to comment. -- Dferg ☎ talk 18:17, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
I am also agree with Dfreg that a crat bit should be granted only for those community having good no of active users and admins too, there should be atleast 5 admins vote to elect a buraucrat, otherwise Stewards can better do this jod of promoting users into sysops.But it should not depend on steward choice becoz it will create a scene of partiality, As in Hindi wikitionary a bureaucrat spundan was promoted to cratbit on behalf of 5 to 7 votes and he is not active in this project since 2005.So stewards should form atleast a minimum set policy to avoid such situations otherwise it may get into trouble to say that stewards just do everything on community consensus, :-) Thank you--Mayur (talkEmail) 18:49, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Rohit Rawat@hiwikiquote

Hi, I am a sysop on hiwikipedia and a very active contributor on hiwiktionary and hiwikiquote. As many Wikimedia projects in the Hindi language are lagging far behind projects in other languages because of lack of available tools because of which there are no to very less active users on these projects and hiwikiquote is one of them. Therefore, I am requesting for adminship on hiwikiquote so that proper tools may be provided and drastic changes need to be done on hiwikiquote which are not possible withour admin rights like making better interface, deleting useless categories and quotes, renaming of quotes, and providing better editing tools which may make it easier to edit in Hindi. As I said there are no active users on hiwikiquote so it is not possible to get support on local community talk page. But as I'm already an admin on hiwikipedia and I have made significant contributions on hiwikipedia and hiwiktionary I think I am eligible for this post. Thank you. रोहित रावत 05:29, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Thogo. A discussion is undergoing on the local admin mailing list. I personally hope Adler.fa changes his decision. However, I just want to clarify that he has the right to decide not to delay this action. In that case, no matter how much I want him not to leave the project, I wouldn't delay completing his request if I was a Steward Huji 21:33, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
According to Laaknor, the request is on hold until two days Mjbmr Talk 21:49, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Yes. It's a bit of a trouble for the project as it will leave the project without local CU and OS, so we must make sure that there is no other possibility. --თოგო (D) 22:02, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Meanwhile, fa.wiki adminship and some other users have convinced me that it is not the best decision. Therefore I kindly ask you to ignore my previous request and let me continue with those accesses. Here my deepest appreciations go to Huji and Mardetanha for their kind support. Adler.fa 11:36, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Then I'm marking your request as Not done. --Mercy 11:37, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

We once decided to wait at least 24 hours if a user wants to give his tools voluntarily back if he was put under pressure e.g. because of having done a possible mistake or being upset about a single issue. We had some trouble when people changed their minds within a few hours and claimed to get their tools back. I do not think that this will happen here.

SB Johnny@enwikiversity

This is just a filing of Bureaucrat removal and not the addition Administrator removal. Wikiversity allows for non-Bureaucrat closure. Policy for recalling administrators gives seven days (25 Jan 2011 00:12 - 2 Feb 2011 at 00:12 UTC) and says that there must be consensus to support, not oppose. 70% of responders opposed a Bureaucrat, who would need a super majority to support or 21 more people to support than supported. --Ottava Rima (talk) 15:20, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Comment: Wikiversity:Bureaucratship is a proposed policy and not yet adopted by the community, so it is a bit disingenuous to make claims about "super majority" or process. Wikiversity:Community_Review_Policy makes no mention of a specific duration for discussions, but instead states that "Community reviews should be closed when it is clear that there is a consensus, or when it becomes clear that a consensus will not be reached." While we are on the topic it might be instructive to review the discussions at Wikiversity talk:Community Review. --mikeu talk 16:21, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Further comment - I note that the "proposed" policy has been just that for 10 months now without having been made actual policy. As such it would appear that it is being "used" in this case by someone who "uses" anything they can find. I'm sure stewards will be cautious at getting caught up in yet another of these less than clear issues. --Herby talk thyme 16:26, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Herby, I already pointed out it was -proposed-. There is no policy requiring a Bureaucrat to file a Bureaucrat removal. That is all that is necessary. Ottava Rima (talk) 17:10, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Note - Mu301 is a Bureaucrat who gave SB Johnny both adminship and bureaucrat rights without community discussion after being inactive and coming back only to help out a friend (on 11 August 2010 [5]). Ottava Rima (talk) 17:10, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
The Custodianship policy does not mention Community Review but gives a clear seven days, a seven day period you ignored when you submitted a removal of me against consensus. This is the only removal policy and it says: "then a new seven day community discussion can be initiated to establish if there is community consensus in support". Both were followed and SB Johnny doesn't meet the requirement. Ottava Rima (talk) 17:10, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Given that you have stated that your request above is for "removal of Bureaucrat status only" and "not the addition Administrator removal" I find it very odd that you are trying to cite the Custodian (ie. WV Admninistrator) policy. --mikeu talk 18:08, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Well, under that policy SB Johnny's adminship would be removed and since Bureaucratship needs a higher level of community trust, then ipso facto, the Bureaucratship would be removed. There is clear consensus to remove either way, and seven days is standard. I find it odd how you are suddenly concerned about process when you desysopped one person without discussion, gave privileges to another without discussion, and closed another removal process after 3 days when the community unanimously said the whole thing was completely wrong, abused, and without any legitimacy. Your bias and personal interest is clear here and shows a willingness to abuse your position while ignoring what is best for Wikiversity. Ottava Rima (talk) 18:22, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
  • The bureaucrat and administrator rights were granted unilaterally by Mu301, without any kind of community discussion. The rights should be removed. Diego Grez return fire 18:06, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
  • This is all continued disruption by Ottava. Diego Grez doesn't seem to understand the custom of allowing re-opping on request for voluntary resignations, and decisions about that are the province of 'crats. The cited discussion has been independently closed as no consensus for removal, and was protected as closed by a 'crat when Ottava revert warred over it. There are multiple seriously wikilawyered arguments presented by Ottava, in contradiction to the plain language of policy, and in contradiction to custom. In order to claim consensus for removal, Ottava must discount all comments after his artificial and rigid "7 day deadline," and, as usual, when he doesn't get what he wants, he makes up or dredges up whatever dirt or "inconsistency" he can find. There is also, if anyone needs it, a review of the voting at [6]. There were canvassed votes, including, by the way, Diego Grez, evidence provided on request.
  • Wikiversity is handling this locally. I supported desysopping there, but closed the Community Review as "no consensus" because that was obvious, as a minimum (it could be argued there was consensus supporting SBJ), seeking to avoid further disruption. Ottava reverted, etc. --Abd 18:23, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
You were de-admin because you have no ability to judge things appropriately and you were given adminship by abusive Crats that the community has universally rejected and want to be removed from Wikiversity. You are also promoting and aiding a cross-wiki sock puppet in the form of KBlott and helping him wage war on Wikipedia, so your actions aren't the best. Ottava Rima talk) 18:24, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Q.E.D. Above, with the filing, Ottava gave a diff to the relevant Community Review, but did not reveal that this was to a week-old revision. He obviously hoped that a steward might not notice. This is the revision as closed. (The page is currently protected by a 'crat, as closed by an independent sysop, due to Ottava revert warring over the close.) --Abd 19:36, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Seven days is seven days. Votes that came up to 6 days after the end are never counted. Even if you do add in 3 more supports, that is still less than he 23 necessary for him to be retained. The page is currently protected by a person who gave SB Johnny ops without consensus and has a 3 year long track record of abuse, lies, and other problems. Ottava Rima (talk) 19:40, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

It's my view that oversight permission should not be removed. It wasn't removed in my case last year. FloNight's OV permission should be retained, or turned back on if it's off. ++Lar: t/c 01:06, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! However, i seem to have made an error. I requested Lar to have steward permissions restored, however he was not reconfirmed as a steward, and should not have had that bit replaced.
