[edit] Requests for adminship

[edit] Shin-改

I would like to be able to change text in the MediWiki namespace. Because Administrators who understand Japanese are few now, I think that the sysop who can speak Japanese is necessary to delete Japanese pages. (These sentences are machine translations.) --Shin-改 07:29, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Your edit history is very good. Unless there are serious and surprising objections in the next few days this should happen just fine. Eclecticology 07:52, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] User:GregRobson

Hi! In the past week I have started to get quite involved here at Wikisource, continuing the long-slog with the Diary of Samuel Pepys and helping get the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica into gear. I also did the recent redesign of the Community Portal. I have done lots of work over at Wikipedia (see my user page there for more). I would like admin status so that I don't have to keep nag people when tidying and doing grunt work in areas like the Category namespace. Greg Robson 21:36, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Hello! I have worked here for several months, mostly about the laws of the Republic of China administering Taiwan (not copyrightable based on the law there). I am an experienced administrator in Chinese Wikipeida and registered user in English and French versions of Wikipedia for long time. As my native language is traditional Chinese and I also use simplified Chinese, English, and French, I would like to apply to become an administrator.

[edit] Requests for importing right

I would like to request importing right for wikisource.org . Please see also q:Wikiquote:Requests_for_adminship/Archives/2007#Requests_for_importing_right where I got importing right on Wikiquote and my Wikiquote importing log. After community approval, this will be sent to any Meta steward.--Jusjih 21:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:-jkb- from Czech wiki

Hereby I request the admin rights for Wikisource(.org). I am user of the Czech Wiki (also German one etc.) since May 2004, beeing there admin since November 2004. As we would like to develop the Czech section of Wikisource, we are sure we would need an user there with admin right. I proposed on the Village pump that I will apply fort he rights and there was a great support for this in very short time (see). Later on we surely will request for an own damain, it is in discussion now. Thx. -jkb- 11:49, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

After the meta page for requests was locked, I spoke to ThomasV who suggested to put my sysop request right here. Once again: there is no cs:wikisource at the time, we shall probably apply for it, but for the present I would like to ge the admin rights here to carry the Czech section and probably to prepare our ouw subdomain. So, how should we go on? -jkb- 16:19, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

P.S. @ ThomasV: patrol of pages to be deleted, patrol of vandalism: sure, that is what I do as an admin on cs:wiki since one year and what is also necessary here (BTW, I announced some vandalists here yet), I am not like to care off the cs section of wikisource only… :-), -jkb- 16:07, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Support I really would like you (and other admins) to do more than that. since you participate to this site quite often (unlike many other subdomain admins), you could also help clean up the site (ie delete pages that have become useless) and patrol for vandalism.

[edit] TheoClarke

I am inspired to make this request by the blatant copyvio of BF interpreter, which even contained a 2005 copyright assertion. It should have been shot on sight. Had it not been copyright I would have moved it to EN: and then wanted to delete it from this domain. So, please can I have access to the admin tools so that I can housekeep more efficiently. I have been an admin at en:wikipedia for about a year. I have a rudimentary reading knowledge of several European languages. I have contributed to en:wikipedia, fr:wikipedia, no:wikipedia, en:wikisource, en:wikiquote, commons, and meta. —Theo ((Talk) 18:19 3 January 2006

  • Support Yann 19:19, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I oppose the nomination of User:TheoClarke as sysop. Reasons:

  • He had about 50 edits at the time of nomination.
  • He was not supported by anyone except by you.
  • He proposed to delete a page after it was vandalized, without checking its history. I had to restore the page.

please revert this nomination if you can. ThomasV 10:02, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Support. This candidate looks acceptable to me while he has edited more than 100 times by now. This multilingual site is no longer very active while dozens of language subdomains have broken away.--Jusjih 07:05, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
I still support him. I just counted his 355 edits. We should not leave this candidacy hanging around forever.--Jusjih 11:28, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. The user has very few edits; after time, I may change my vote. TheoClarke just needs some more experience. I do like the fact that he will be contributing on this wiki in Catalan (since it currently does not have its own sub-domain). We don't need any more administrators who are going to be popping in and out every once in a while, not really working on anything, but one who will be fairly active here.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 18:32, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Mild support. I'm changing my vote to mild support. From the time TheoClarke requested administrator rights to the current day, he's shown himself a capable editor. And, he can work with pages I think very few of us can actually work with, which is a bonus. If Theo would become a little more active here (as active as can be on this wiki--which I know isn't that much), I'd change my vote to full support.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 17:07, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Just a little story. From somebody who is here since six months, anyway a sysop here. I am also a sysop on the cs:wiki. Shortly after I have been made a sysop there, once I saw in the Recent changes a new user, who made some five excellent articles in some two hours. So I wrote him and made an invitation, said have good luck here, congratulating him for this extreme good deal. I saved this edit. Five minutes later I opened the Recent changes again. Another sysop put all five edits of this new pretty user as copyvio - I have forgotten to controll this, that's all. After this I look after copyvio first. As this very complicated man from Russia (V. I. Lenin) said: learn, learn, learn (as I come from CS, so I had to learn this...). So, I do not want to vote for TheoClarke or against him, I just wanted to tell you this little story. -jkb- 19:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I still oppose this nomination. I agree that this user has been willing to participate in a constructive way; I even agree that he has made useful contributions, by adding language categories to many pages. However, the sheer number of edits is not a criterion. The nature of the mistakes he made is such that I cannot support him :

  • This user proposed to delete a page that was vandalized, without checking its history. He would have deleted it "on sight" if he had been allowed to. this was at the time he applied. since then, he has made other mistakes.
  • Apparently, he is not aware that we have a latin subdomain: he tried to "improve" Lorem ipsum on ws.org, while this file belongs in la.wikisource.org. This "improvement" consisted in copy-pasting information from wikipedia (in fifteen different languages) to wikisource. This suggests that he fails to understand the difference between wikipedia and wikisource, and the organization of wikisource. You have to check the edit history of Lorem ipsum to see that, because I deleted the file; it is no longer in his list of contributions. Anyway, I think that an admin should have a minimal understanding of what wikisource is and how it is organized.
  • He flagged work by Tomislav Dretar as copyvio. I know that not everybody is supposed to know who Dretar is; but still, this indicates that he has only very focused interest, in very specific questions, such as copyvio and language categories.
  • He spent time transwikifying British locations to wikipedia. since then they seem to have deleted it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_locations
  • He made only 4 edits in the last month. Seems to have moved to other centers of interest.
  • Finally, I guess this candidacy is still around simply because we nobody has archived it.

ThomasV 19:28, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Many of the errors, to me, can be explained simply as being newly experienced to heavy editing at WS. His Lorem ipsum mistake still happened in January, and holding that against him does not take into account all of February where he would have had time to learn more correct procedures. But I'd rather not argue about these points. Let's just archive the nomination; it doesn't seem that he's all that active here, so I see no reason to grant the rights. Also, no real consensus was reached at the time that he applied for administrator rights. If he wants them, he'll need to do a renomination for the position.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 20:59, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jayvdb

I'm not sure what the drill is here, as I dont see many recent requests for adminship. I am an admin on en.WP, and a rather recent admin on en.WS, and would like to be an admin on this wiki for two reason:

  1. in order to drill down from the history there to here. For example, s:en:Take up the cudgels in defence of Hungarian started off here on the main site as Take up the cudgels in defence of hungarian - it has recently come up on s:en:Wikisource:Proposed deletions. I would like to be able to see the deleted history here in order to properly investigate any clues in the history of it here. I am sure this will not be the last time I am overly curious and would like to investigate the history here.
  2. to be available to quickly halt vandalism sprees, especially when it occurs in my TZ (GMT +10), such as the Grawp vandalism that happened here tonight. In comparison, the vandal was blocked immediately on en.WS before any damage was done. I don't have any edits here, but I will learn the ropes and help out when I know what I am doing.

Jayvdb 12:30, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Support. We have virtually no new requests for adminship here once language subdomains have broken away, then admins here can longer administer Wikisource pages in all languages as adminship is not automatically cross-honoured among subdomains. For me, I have been an admin here before making subdomains, but I had to get separate adminship on English and Chinese Wikisources. For you, even though you have not had many edits here, I would like to welcome you based on your experience as an admin on English Wikipedia and Wikisource, so you can check page history that have not been fully transwikied. I have temporarily undeleted the article that you are concerned of for your desire. When finished, it can be deleted again.--Jusjih 03:08, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] VasilievVV

Please, grant me adminship here. I need it for deleting pages imported to newly-created projects. Thanks --VasilievVV 17:37, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I have three points to clear:

  1. which languages has been created and must be deleted here
  2. if you give us a list of the pages we could surely delete it by ourselves if it is not a huge amount of pages
  3. if it is too much so you could request for temporary adminship for this purpose, say for one week.

Thx, -jkb- 17:49, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I support Vassiliev. A trusted member of the broader Wikimedian community. --Dungodung 20:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, sure I know who Vasiliev is. But, apart of this: to say "I would like to delete here something" is not a reason to grant regular sysop rights, I guess. That Vasiliev imported some 300 pages for the li-WS I did not know at the moment, I saw it later. An Vasiliev asked on meta for temporary rights in some more cases. Therefore I support the request, but just like a temporary request. I hope it will not be understood just like a mistrust, but a request for sysop rights is something else, I think. - - Vasiliev: OK? - - -jkb- 15:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes, Limburgish Wikisource. I think it'll be not the only Wikisource I'll ever import (surely we'll have more wikisources in the future), so I need permanent adminship --VasilievVV 16:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi all. I am requesting sysop access for two reasons: I regularly patrol recent changes both on-wiki and on IRC, and I would like to be able to delete obvious vandalism and the like. Also, I would like to be able to update protected templates like {{InterLingvLigoj}} and {{TopTenCircle}}, etc. I am a sysop on the Simple English Wiktionary and Simple English Wikiquote, and am also a rollbacker on the Simple English Wikipedia and English Wikipedia.

[edit] Troy 07

Hi. I am requesting for adminship on the Multilingual Wikisource as I plan to actively participate here for the long term. I've been quite active on many other wikis for nearly 2 years, as shown on my userpage. The wikis include English Wikipedia, Meta, Commons, Incubator, etc. (and now Wikisource). I should add that I have neither attained nor requested for previous admin rights on any wiki, but Wikisource is certainly a good place to start, where it's more calm and far less hectic than enwiki :)

On Oldwikisource, I have been actively updating and contributing to Coptic Wikisource, which has about 20 pages now. I have requested and took part in transferring and renaming it, along with Ancient Greek Wikisource, to Multilingual Wikisource. Needless to say, it was a long task that took several hours ...so in that case, they're not likely going to have their own subdomains any time in the foreseeable future.

At this point, I am actively engaged in updating, correcting, and adding new pages in Wikisource, particularly in the development of Coptic Wikisource. I would like to have admin privileges in order to be able to edit additional pages such as MediaWiki options, remove vandalism, protect pages when needed, delete unnecessary or unhelpful pages (which can easily turn up in page moves), and do similar tasks that would require sysop rights.

If you would like a full list of other wikis that I have registered on, it is available here. ~Troy 02:11, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

PS: my wikisource edit count can be found here. ~Troy 04:20, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Support - Same as above. HeadCaptain 18:51, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Support. I've very impressed with the record of your contributions to Coptic texts here, and I think it is crucial that these texts be supported. Your contributions also show both dedication and technical know-how. Since Coptic texts may be here for a long while, I think it is important that you have admin tools, which you can also use to contribute towards general maintenance as well.

    The reason why I'm not very active is because there isn't much to do for me here at the moment, but with admin tools I can help revert vandalism and all that stuff. Indeed this deletion has been done (well after two years..), but I can imagine that possible next deletions are also going to take much time before they are done and therefore I would still like to help you. --Ooswesthoesbes 09:37, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi,

After hesitations, I finally proper request adminiship. I’m essentialy active on the breton part of this wiki (I did some contributions before but not a lot), so I will just be a temporary sysop (or not, we’ll see in some months).

I need sysop right for deletion (near 170 page here) and help on the breton part but I will help on the whole wiki if needed (and apparently there is some need). I will do some add on MediaWiki:Common.css too (class text for example).

I speak french (mother tongue), english (as you can see ;) ), and a bit of breton, german, latin, chinese, japanese. I’m already sysop on fr.WP, COM and fr.WS.

[edit] User:Candalua

After another "request to admins" in a long row, ;-) finally I've decided to run and "do it myself". I'm active on Venetian language, but I will also do some improvements on js and css (for example, on Index pages the Quality field is not currently working). I'm already sysop on it.source and vec.wiki.

[edit] User:Doug

I am pretty sure most of the regulars know who I am; but just in case someone doesn't: I request admin rights primarily so that I can view and possibly undelete old navigational pages and do other general admin tasks. In addition to here, I'm active on the following wikisource subdomains: en.ws (admin and bot operator), la.ws (bureaucrat and bot operator), de.ws, and occasionally fr.ws and some others, I'm also active on the following other wikimedia projects: mw.org (admin and bot operator), meta (bot operator), and Commons. One of my primary interests is cross-subdomain work in wikisource and I've set up an experimental wiki to test new processes and I've been active in interwiki linking issues as well as gnomish work like archiving this page. I currently have transwiki importer rights here (which are useless due to a bug and a pending, though somewhat stale, request on Scriptorium for import upload privileges.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 13:34, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Requests for bureaucrat rights

[edit] User:ThomasV

Following the recent vote, I proposed to initialize subdomains with raw copies of the wikisource database. This method is proposed in order to keep page histories. (see here for details). This method will involve admins deleting pages that are not in their proper subdomain. Although the method is designed to minimize the number of deletions, it will still require some work, and I guess it will be easier if we can nominate a few more sysops for that. I request bureaucrat rights in order to be able to create these new sysops. (at the moment, the only bureaucrat here is Eclecticology, and his last edit was more than 5 weeks ago.) ThomasV 16:19, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

  1. Support. It is nessesary, and Ec seems to have left the project. I trust ThomasV will do a good job. --Christian S 16:46, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  2. Support. Although, I'm not sure Ec's left the project (he hasn't contributed over at Wiktionary for quite some time, either), but it is essential that we have a bureaucrat actively on the project right now. Zhaladshar 16:51, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Sure, I have just read it as it was linked on meta; above I have also said that the desysop is right; what I do not like are accusations without further informations that stay there for weeks. That is not right. -jkb- 08:41, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
  • He hasn't edited here since February, and may very well soon qualify for desysopping on that basis alone. The standards for a global sysop should indeed be higher when a person may be taking action in projects where no-one will see what they are doing. There is no evidence of misbehaviour on his part in this project, so when someone without any edit history here arrives for the sole purpose of taking punitive action against another individual I suspect a personal agenda. I suggest no immediate action other than to keep a close watch on Innv's future edits, if any. In due course, desysopping for inactivity may very well be the appropriate and far less controverial way to go. Eclecticology 01:02, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
  • I have no personal agenda. I too am a global sysop and an admin on various other projects. My request here is simply in the interest of the project. Innv has made it clear (diffs provided on the meta DRfA) that his gaining syop on a multitude of projects was a social experiment to see how many flags a banned sockpuppet can gain. As such, I felt it was in the best interest of this community to ask for Innv's sysop rights to be removed. Please, assume good faith. Thanks, Tiptoety talk 04:59, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
  • After I have made a very extensive experience with one special user I strongly oppose the point of view that the misbehaviour of the user on other projects or elsewhere outside has no impact on his status in another project (because "there is no evidence of misbehaviour on his part in this project"). All WM projects are one social project with a special goal, and we should consider us to be a team. If somebody makes here experiments like that one which is discussed so it can destroy the trust to each other and the whole work here. A desysop for it is fully OK. -jkb- 08:05, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit] LadyInGrey (not done)

LadyInGrey (talk • contribs • blocks • protects • deletions • moves • rights) - (last edit and last log action 16 October 2010) - CrossActivity - YAEC - SUL - Luxo
  • Desyop as nom due to inactivity. I'm nominating all of the long inactive accounts pro forma. LadyInGrey has not edited or logged in over 16 months on this wiki. They are active on es.ws, ca.ws, and commons. Can ask for the tools back if they come back.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 04:05, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
    Change to neutral - I have no particular interest in desysopping and as stated did this as a formality due to inactivity. I won't withdraw the proposal as there are other votes to desysop and a very long period of no log actions but I have no particular opposition to LadyInGrey remaining an admin either.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 06:11, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
No he editado pero tampoco he desaparecido. Me gustaría seguir siendo admin ya que nunca se sabe cuando aparecen los vándalos. Sin esperar el resultado de esta votación, aceptaré la decisión de la comunidad y seguiré viniendo, muchas gracias a todos. --LadyInGrey 03:32, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

±0, inactive but not gone. Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk) 18:39, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Retain as admin, no longer inactive and wishes to keep tools. —Angr 20:12, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
    • I'm going to close this as an unsuccessful desysop motion, LadyInGrey responded to the nom and has logged a fair number of actions since I made the nom, proving they are active.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 10:49, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
