Thank you. --SB_Johnny|^talk|_books 13:47, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. OR if you have different policies, could you point to that? --Dbl2010 14:16, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I realize the links may look strange, but we don't use the typical RFA method on that project. I am Terra's "mentor", meaning I am responsible for his actions for the duration of his probationary custodianship. I am not at this point still willing to be responsible for him, so request removal until he either finds another mentor or passes an "RFC" (a.k.a. "RFA" on most other wikis). For confirmation of probationary status, see en:v:Wikiversity:Support staff

I am a b'crat, and can reinstate the tools if need be. --SB_Johnny|^talk|_books 14:22, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, no very good policy link (we have very few policies on WV), but the original mentorship discussion should explain it: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WV:RFC#Terra . If it were an RFA, it would have failed. --SB_Johnny|^talk|_books 14:41, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I understand there is 4 weeks of probational custodianship under a mentors supervising. After that, evaluation starts. And if mentor does not agree on his custodianship, he should find another mentor in 48 hours. If he cannot, then is user right will be revoked. That is what I understood from the Wikiversity policy pages. Am I right? If yes, we need to give him time and I guess he needs to know that you are not his mentor anymore. Sorry for so much bureaucracy but we should play along with the policies. Of course I may not see the whole picture, if so please direct me to the right policy pages so we can justify our move. Thanks. --Dbl2010 15:03, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's actually been 3 months :). I had asked around for an alternate mentor after the 4 weeks, but no-one stepped up so I let him extend for another 2 months... bad idea in retrospect, but it's hard to know what to do when policies are lacking. --SB_Johnny|^talk|_books 15:55, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Lets do it this way: Announce on a suitable page that you are not supporting him anymore, so others get informed (If you haven't done yet). Also tell him about this on his talk page and also mention him to find another mentor in 48 hours if he wants to continue. And we see what happenes 48 hours later and we go from there. What do you think? --Dbl2010 16:04, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, good thinkin :). I've more or less said as much on both his talk page and on the first link provided, so no problem waiting a couple days. --SB_Johnny|^talk|_books 16:16, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've had a little involvement with the Terra case and am (just a) sysop at Wikiversity with very little knowledge of policy. Thinking about the people perspective here, rather than policy, I don't see the harm in putting it to the vote on WV. --McCormack 15:05, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't get me wrong. I am not requesting a voting. I am just requesting some sort of justification. It can be vote, it can be a policy, it can be consensus, etc. Something that your local wiki policies accepts and agrees. Removing other users user right is a delicate thing. --Dbl2010 15:36, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging after 48+ hours, as Terra has been unable to find a new mentor (policy here). --SB_Johnny|^talk|_books 18:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if nine votes are sufficient for a deadmin. This is way belove our current limit for adminship. I think this needs considerations on the project as there are implicitt changes of the present policy in the discussion about this deadmin process. Jeblad 12:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I request bureaucrat access for temp because there are soeme bot requests waiting to deal. the formal request are prossecing.

• Language Code: gan
• Local Request Link:gan:Wikipedia:申請做管理員
• List of local bureaucrats: gan:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat
• Local User Page: gan:user:vipuser
• Preferred duration and reason: for one month and wait for the formal bureaucrats.

Thank you. Vipuser 17:03, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, please add these bot requests to Steward requests/Bot status, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| ∇ 07:13, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

not only my bot but the bots run on the gan wikipedia.--Vipuser 07:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

so add them all--Nick1915 - ^{all you want} 09:19, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, You can add also bots of other botowners, temporary bureaucrat status is only given in very very special cases (because making it temporary is rather senseless, since one could then change the rights of other users), rather not, also it is mostly done like: first sysop then crat, in this case please add the bots to be flagged to the request page on meta. But I can see there is no sysop in gan.wiki [2]. Please if You need sysop status, just say so, I would be happy to give You that flag, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| ∇ 10:40, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done, see above (sysop status for You and Symane granted), best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| ∇ 14:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please, give to me sysop acces 2 days, becouse articles must to bes deleted, and one very important. code: ay

Thanks!--Bengoa (My user talk) 20:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

please contact the local sysops, I could not find an emergency and at least one is active, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| ∇ 07:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, bute the local sysop is not active now, and articles are not deleted, becouse he isn´t active in this moment (perdon por mi ingles, prefiero el español)--Bengoa (My user talk) 11:48, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No es un problema, podemos hablar en español también. Pues, lo que querría decirte, no veo ninguna emergencia, entonces estos artículos pueden esperar un poco, se puede poner {{borrar}} y esperar. La última vez Kanon6917 ha borrado un artículo el 24 de mayo, esto no me parece inactivo. Por favor envíale un emilio o espera un poquito (o si es una emergencia, por favor explica por qué). Gracias por tu entendimiento, un saludo, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| ∇ 11:55, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I request temporary sysop access.

• Language Code: eu
• List of local sysops: None (eu:wikibooks:Aparteko:ListUsers&group=sysop)
• List of local bureaucrats: None ((eu:wikibooks:Aparteko:ListUsers&group=bureaucrat)
• Local Request Link: None[3])
• Local User Page: b:eu:Lankide:Theklan & b:eu:Lankide:Janfri
• Preferred duration and reason: There's no local sysop or bureaucrats and some articles must be deleted and main page blocked for preventing vandalism. Both Janfri and Theklan are sysops in eu:wikipedia so we only want to extend this permission as both are now working on expanding this project. We don't have a preferred duration, as there's not a stable community to make elections. When this elections happen we would happily let this other users in their work.

Thank you. Theklan 18:49, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, please can You make a local link nevertheless, I would like to see a local link always also for temp issues, in case someone would like to object. Also Janfri should know about he is going to be made temp-sysop, but I was not able to find any page where he said that or where someone told him. Please just open a local request where You two leave a short note and I would say lets start with a temp-period of 3 months then. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| ∇ 00:12, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We spoke about it by mail, but now I have opened a discussion with him to make it public ([4]). -Theklan 10:50, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I request temporary sysop and bureaucrat access.

• Language Code: gv
• List of local sysops: gv:Special:Listadmins - one temporary one, gv:User:MacTire02
• List of local bureaucrats: gv:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat - none
• Local Request Link: gv:User_talk:MacTire02#Bots_on_the_loose_:.29
• Local User Page: gv:User:Alison
• Preferred duration and reason: - one week only. I happened to stop by the wiki and noticed that the usual bots are flooding recentchanges with interwiki links to articles, etc. There are also a number of bogus/vandalism-only accounts which need rename. Also, I'd like to establish the Standard Bot Policy over there, so stewards can deal with this in future with minimum issues. MacTire02 - the only sysop - has given assent to my asking for a temp sysop/'crat bit to clean up the wiki[5], fix the bot issues and establish the usual cross-wiki policy, as he's not really sure what to do. I've done this before on gawiki/gawikti/gdwikti so it'll be no issue at all :) I can speak Irish Gaelic and can just about hack reading Manx Gaelic, so can work over there easy enough. Myself and MacTire02 both speak English and Irish so we're okay.

• Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this.
• Usurpation requests should be placed at Steward requests/Usurpation.
• Username changes should be placed at Requests for username changes.
• Please make sure you have your accounts renamed before merging them.
