Administrator access

Zulf@suwikisource

I ask permission to request sysop rights, take care of various things and must have sysop rights. because there are no bureaucrats and only sysop bots, it makes me difficult. thank Zulftalk 01:37, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm a bit hesitant about granting adminship here. You made your first edit the same day you opened the discussion and your only edits on the project have been today and 10 days ago, a large amount of them in userspace. Also, the only supporter in the discussion was an IP whose only edit on the project was supporting in that discussion. I'm not really inclined to grant this for those reasons, but I'd like to hear opinions of another steward. EPIC (talk) 05:05, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
@EPICDue to the lack of attention local wiki, it has been neglected, I rarely go there, so I mostly go to idwiki. but I'm thinking about developing more. there are many tasks that need to be fixed. Zulftalk 05:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
I have no bad intentions, so don't hesitate Zulftalk 05:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
I'm not saying you have bad intentions, but due to what I've mentioned above this feels a bit too weak for me to grant here. I'd probably grant if someone from the local community supported, but that isn't the case here, so I'm still going to leave this to another steward for them to decide. EPIC (talk) 05:21, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
OK, I appreciate it. I beg you to be given rights, the local community is very small. and also there are only admin bots.
bots are not the same as humans! Thanks Zulftalk 05:37, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Agree with EPIC, the number of requests for admin and other permissions across many projects without the necessary experience [2] is worrying me. @Zulf if the local community needs help with some administrative tasks, they can use GSR or SRM and ask global sysops / stewards. Johannnes89 (talk) 06:35, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
Oppose Oppose, This user ran for the idwiki sysop election last year. However, he was not supported by the community because the results of the question and answer session were less than satisfactory. Forgive me @Zulf, maybe next time with a good experience you will get it. Regards Fazily (talk) 03:43, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Please note that this is not the place for voting. If you want to submit a comment then please do so in the discussion instead. EPIC (talk) 07:18, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Okay, thanks for letting me know. I will do it on the discussion Fazily (talk) 07:31, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
@Fazily ya bisa di bilang tahun lalu itu terlalu terburu buru,seiring bertambahnya pengalaman menjadikan saya bisa lebih baik lagi. sebenarnya kan pengurus itu sama saja ,cuma selain pengurus itu ada akses yang tidak bisa di gunakan.Terima kasih dah mampir bro. 🍃Zulf🍃talk 12:44, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
@Johannnes89 ,you can trust me. I quite understand.I mean asking for it to be easier, it's rare for anyone to speak sundanese. 🍃Zulf🍃talk 12:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
@Zulf: For which tasks do you need the sysop flag? Superpes15 (talk) 09:35, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
BTW: the user tried to strike two users' votes on the grounds that they didn't have experience (and I could not see any consensus for making such a requirement). I've removed that, as I don't think this is appropriate in a community this small. This was done in good faith, so feel free to revert if this is inappropriate. Leaderboard (talk) 17:14, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Not done This has been open for some time now, given that there is now also opposition in the discussion as well as more experience being required (discussion was opened five minutes after the first contribution on the project), I'm ultimately closing this as not done and no consensus to grant. Zulf, thank you for volunteering, don't feel discouraged by this outcome and feel free to reapply when you have gained more experience. EPIC (talk) 17:29, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Dear global wiki admins. I have been a member of the wiki family for 1 year and 8 months, and during this time I mainly worked for kaawikipedia and uzwikipedia. Now kaawikipedia is growing and I think it needs more admins to support new users. I get along well with the other admins and there is a lot to do on kaawikipedia.

There is no single administrator yet for our Wikipedia since we went live from the incubator.

Fawikisource does not have a community large enough for permanent administrators, but as you have support from multiple users (including active community members) I am granting for six months. EPIC (talk) 09:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
@EPIC Thank you for consideration. Since we have another perminent admin, I thought I can request for a perminent access, but 6 month is also useful. Thanks again Darafsh (talk) 09:36, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I noted that fawikisource has a permanent administrator, but as they only seem to be sporadically active and were appointed many years ago when the wiki still had local bureaucrats (and when stewards were more liberal with granting permanent adminship), and as fawikisource's community is quite small, I granted temporarily as per our general criteria for granting adminship on small wikis (MVR). Should you want to continue when the time is up, feel free to open a new discussion and we can extend if all goes well. EPIC (talk) 17:36, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Umarxon III@tkwiki

Hello! There are currently almost no active users on the Turkmen Wikipedia. There is a lot of work to be done by the administrator. There are a lot of trash articles praising the presidents of this country that should be removed. Therefore, I decided to submit my application to become an administrator. Now the number of my edits is more than 200. In the future I plan to create rules for local Wikipedia. Sincerely, Umarxon III (talk) 06:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC).

Hmm, I think this is quite borderline, since you do have admin experience but you are only tk-1 and don't have any local users supporting. I don't really know how to weigh in on this, could a fellow steward give their opinion on this? EPIC (talk) 06:30, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Recently, there are almost no active users in Turkmen, there are very few edits, and of course no one voted for me. As for my level of knowledge of the language, I am constantly working on it. Now my level has reached up to advanced. I don't mind the fact that another steward will express his opinion. Umarxon III (talk) 07:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC).
I'd like to hear from the active local sysop :) Superpes15 (talk) 07:42, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
There are indeed no active users, let alone a native Turkmen speaker. In the past few years I have only seen a couple tk-N users, none of which are active at the moment, including the only other admin, who hasn't edited for months. I don't think the lack of knowledge of the language is a deal breaker since Turkic languages are generally similar (the candidate is uz-N) and I myself also with "only" tk-1 have managed to do it for some time now. As for the actual candidate, I don't really have an objection since I've somewhat know Umarxon on uzwiki from my time as a global sysop. The desysop that took place there is over a year ago now and while it appears to be problematic, not a lot of the concerns raised there applicable to tkwiki, especially given that the user was allowed to retain the eliminator right to delete articles even after the desysop. I think this is in line with what is expected at tkwiki, where not much happens apart from a few spam pages every now and then. Styyx (talk) 16:12, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Qaraqalpaqpan@kaawiktionary

Dear global administrators. Recently we achieved the full version of Kaawiktionary (kaa.wiktionary.org) project from Incubator. So now, when we have a separate site for our project, it's required to rearrange it. That's why I would like to ask admin status (and interface admin status the same time) for the project for 6 month. Because we should delete wrong pages, which had been entered by mistake. Also I would like to make small changes in Sidebar and to add some Gadgets, that's why I need interface adminship to access "Mediawiki:" namespace. Actually I am the current administrator (and interface administrator) of Karakalpak Wikipedia (kaa.wikipedia.org), so I think I have enough experience to ask both statuses the same time. I put a discussion on kaawiktionary admins and interface admins pages on 07.05.2024 and it has passed 7 required days. Just for your information and thank you in advance.

IzzatZuhr@Mswikipedia

I am expressing my strong interest in assuming administrative and interface admin privileges for the Bahasa Melayu Wikipedia. Due to the current inactivity of most administrators and the sole bureaucrat, this project lacks the leadership necessary to thrive.

I am confident that I can effectively contribute to the Bahasa Melayu Wikipedia. For your reference, you can find my previous request regarding the removal of inactive administrators and bureaucrats on the ms wiki in here and here IzzatZuhri (talk) 02:39, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

First off, you started the discussion just fifteen minutes ago - keep in mind that for us to be able to grant admin rights, discussions must run for at least one week. Second of all, given that this wiki has bureaucrats, I would prefer to contact them first, given that there are no less than three on mswiki and one of them edited a little less than a month ago. EPIC (talk) 02:46, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Waihorace@zhwikinews

I have accepted the nomination to act as the local bureaucrat. I would like to request for the flag as the local discussion has been opened for two weeks. Thanks a lot! --HW (talk) 15:35, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

note: 9 for, 0 against. —— Eric LiuTalk 15:54, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
@Waihorace per Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements#Bureaucrat there are a couple of requirements which are not met:
  • at least 15 votes (just 9 votes)
  • at least 6 permanent administrators (just 2 permanent admins, 2 temporary admins, 1 permanent admin bot and the abuse filter account [3])
  • and there doesn't seem to be much need for crats, looking at the user rights changes [4]?
--Johannnes89 (talk) 16:12, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Also, in evaluating this kind of requests, I remember that the first point, the main one imho (while we could be flexible about some others), says that "The local community must be large enough to require a bureaucrat. The definition of "large enough" is determined by the stewards but can include factors such as how often the stewards have needed to assign or remove administrator, bot or translation administrator permissions over a significant period of time.". I also, looking at the numbers and the log, don't see any need for local bureaucrats. So I'm closing this request as Not done --Superpes15 (talk) 05:51, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Peacearth@zhwikinews

Peachearth has also accepted the nomination to act as the local bureaucrat. From my understanding, majority of the voters agree that Peachearth is good for the flag. --HW (talk) 15:35, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

EPIC@global

Please remove all of my advanced permissions on all projects. This includes my local and global steward access (and related roles/accesses), as well as my admin rights on Meta, Swedish Wikipedia and Wikidata.

I've been dealing with a bunch of real life issues and downfalls over the last few months which are affecting me as a Wikimedian and my Wikimedia work overall, and I don't think they are compatible with holding higher positions.

Having me as a steward and a member of other roles under these circumstances is likely undesirable. I do not think I am a suitable steward under these circumstances either and I'm quite sure all this stuff will affect my energy to work effectively on Wikimedia in the future, so I think there is no need for me anymore, especially since we have multiple other active users in my roles. As such, I do not want to have these rights just for the sake of it and would like to have them removed.

I've thought through this for weeks and I partly regret doing this, but I think it is best for myself and everyone else.

Still, you can place this on hold for 24 hours as usual in case anything changes, and I will do some steward work throughout the day. Thank you. EPIC (talk) 23:08, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

It's really sad to hear that. I wish you every best for your real life and want to say many thanks for your service so far. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 23:23, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your service. Your work in massively reducing backlogs and responding quickly to new requests has been outstanding. --Ferien (talk) 23:31, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
That must've been a tough decision. Truely thank you for everything so far. You did a lot more in those 3 months as steward than some did in an entire year. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 23:59, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
Sorry to see you go. Thank you. * Pppery * it has begun 00:19, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

@EPIC:, have you considered if you're burned out? You're not expected to maintain constant activity, so why not just take a month's break globally? Leaderboard (talk) 04:44, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
Well, I just want to make it clear that this doesn't have anything to do with any burnout, but rather some other issues. Still, I would like to thank everyone for the support. EPIC (talk) 09:47, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your service EPIC. :( Fazily📩 06:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

I am deeply saddened to hear the news. EPIC, if you'd need a vent, you're always welcome on Discord. But please, IRL things are more important than a website. I hope we will reunite once in the future again. A09 (talk) 09:20, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
After some thinking and talking to some others I'd like to continue having this on hold until I say otherwise. This isn't really an easy decision, so I would like to have some more time to think about it, if possible. So, please continue keeping this on hold until further notice. EPIC (talk) 18:19, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Well. I'd like to leave a note here, saying that this shouldn't be meant as a pressure, but only as presence and acknowledgement. Your work is valuable, thus *you* mean a lot and any active wikimedian will do their best to support you and to second whatever decision you're going to take. Ciao, M/ (talk) 18:32, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
Yes, please prioritise real life first. --SHB2000 (tc) 04:10, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
@EPIC ready to mark this as withdrawn? You appear to be actively still using these tools. — xaosflux Talk 10:13, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for the reminder. Yes, I've thought this through quite a lot and talked to some others, and although my activity might not be as high in some time, I feel a bit better and I am leaning towards continuing although my activity might decrease in the future. So, I am withdrawing this request. EPIC (talk) 10:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
@EPIC thanks for the note, good to hear! We're all volunteers, take a break at any or every task whenever you want! — xaosflux Talk 10:34, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
