I would not say that I was not known but not confirmed if it was a mistake as the points stated for removal seems not covering me, Anyways I had stated the present consensus and further Hi wikipedia is seriously lacking a crat.

...Aurora... (talk) 03:54, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

From what I read in the talk pages there's seem to be a conflict between bureaucrats and that user, which led you (a ms.wp 'crat) to put the request here. Since it was a personal request by the user, and ms.wp 'crat posted it here, I've carried out the request. ✒ Bennylin 13:42, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Fram@mediawikiwiki

Status:    Not done

This +sysop does not have the support of the local community (no RfA) and on IRC, several users are outraged about it, especially given that this user was blocked yesterday. As a local 'crat, I thus request this to be reverted, as local 'crats cannot desysop on this wiki.--Jasper Deng (talk) 05:27, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

For perspective, bureaucrats can grant sysop rights ad-hoc on this wiki, without a RfA; one chose to do so, which is how this happened. I'm obviously involved in the matter, but I would have to agree that this was a controversial choice for sysop. --Rschen7754 05:32, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
It might be useful to wait for a comment from the 'crat who granted the rights. Snowolf How can I help? 05:34, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Concur; this user was blocked for 24 hours and warned for continued uncivil behavior on the wiki. His being granted +sysop is out of bound and frankly outrageous. The fact that MzMcbride's reasoning amounts to "help out with documentation" - which does not require +sysop - is laughable. --Jorm (WMF) (talk) 05:36, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Who's MzMcbride? --MZMcBride (talk) 05:38, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
I would think that there would be more interesting things to discuss than proper capitalization of your username, MZ. These gentlemen have come here to ask for the reversal of a 'crat action you've taken. Your input on the matter would be appreciated. Snowolf How can I help? 05:40, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
My talk page is here: mw:User talk:MZMcBride. I'm sure all of these users first posted there prior to posting here. That would only be reasonable, right? To be clear: my action was not a mistake and I'm not asking for it to be reversed. This is a local community issue (sort of) and, as far as I'm aware, the stewards do not get involved in such matters. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:45, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Jasper Deng is a long-time user here. I would think he would know that this request can't be fulfilled by stewards. I'm not sure what the point of filing it is/was. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:41, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

No. I would consider this action on behalf of myself, a local bureaucrat. The point is, this was so out-of-line that on behalf of the local community, it should be reverted.--Jasper Deng (talk) 05:42, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Err, you seem to be taking a pretty strong stand here. Yet you haven't disclosed that you're involved (read: not considered impartial with respect to) this user. This is troubling. :-/ --MZMcBride (talk) 06:03, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
  • I think at this stage, this matter warrants local discussion before any actions are taken by us. While I understand the concerns brought up, which are entirely reasonable, the user has not make any admin actions as far as I understand it, and it seems unlikely that it be problematic for the matter to be put on hold while a local discussion is held to properly consult Mediawiki.org's community and hear their opinion on the matter. This to me seems the most efficient way to solve the issues brought up here. Is that feasible? Snowolf How can I help? 05:57, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Why? There's no real reason to wait for community consensus either before desysoping, because the sysoping was originally performed in absence of community consensus. And also it says pretty clearly at the top of mw:Project:Requests: "unlike most Wikimedia sites, this site is controlled by the MediaWiki developers, not its own community.". --Krenair (talk • contribs) 16:30, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Jasper asked me to take a look at this as an uninvolved bureaucrat (I also discussed the matter a bit with MZMcBride). I agree that the sysopping was inappropriate and should be reverted. It seems a bit strange to insist that community consensus is required to -sysop when the +sysop was done in the absence of any consensus. Still, if the stewards feel that a consensus is required, I'm sure one can be shown. Emufarmers (talk) 06:10, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

"For perspective, bureaucrats can grant sysop rights ad-hoc on this wiki, without a RfA; one chose to do so, which is how this happened." While you've established that you feel it was inappropriate and should be reverted, you didn't provide any reason or rationale. --MZMcBride (talk) 06:54, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
I am arguably involved in this issue and am a mediawikiwiki bureaucrat. But I'm also a developer. Assuming MZMcBride knew about Fram's edits and the resulting arguments (and to be honest there's no excuse not to check before +sysoping someone), it's clear that he should know that this sysoping is entirely controversial and should never have happened without a normal RfA (it's really not a standard 'nobody seems to have any big issues with this user and I'm convinced' situation where we could normally simply +sysop - that much is clear purely from looking at Fram's contribution history). I don't know what Fram did to convince MZMcBride that this was okay, but it's not. Not just based on the fact that the user was blocked, but the circumstances around it including the arguments on mw:User talk:Fram. We should seriously consider removing MZMcBride's bureaucrat flag as well as definitely removing Fram's sysop flag. --Krenair (talk • contribs) 16:30, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

I have opened a discussion at mw:User talk:Fram#Your edits to VisualEditor, although MediaWiki.org has no centralized discussion location. mw:Project:Current issues.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:15, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Direct link: mw:Thread:Project:Current issues/User:MZMcBride and sysopping of User:Fram (sorry, I had included the link in the message above without changing its appearance but it seems that's not appreciated). --Nemo 07:05, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi, local bcrat here (it's said I'm involved because I gave MZMcBride his bcrat flag, but I don't think that's true). This whole situation is insane. I think we should revoke everyone's +sysop and +bcrat who's involved in this kerfuffle--that's including all the sniping and batshit behavior from people on the current issues page--and hand out some blocks as well. Everyone could use a time out. This is stupid stupid stupid and goes against the only real policy we have on mw.org: use some freaking common sense. ^demon (talk) 17:00, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Not done - No matter how Fram managed to get admin rights on mw.org, stewards will only act when there is either current and blatant abuse of the tools happening by the user in question (emergency desysop) or when we are shown local consensus by the community to remove the rights. I currently see nothing of that. SRP is furthermore not the right page to have a discussion about that matter. Please find a place on mw.org to discuss this matter and come back here if/when you got a consensus and need a steward for possible flag-removal. Thanks, -Barras talk 18:04, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Please remove his sysop rights. After being notified about the yearly moderatorconfirmation user has indicated he does not wish to participate in the confirmation. -- Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 02:20, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

This user has not made it clear that he wants his rights to be revoked (his comment is vague). Dolledre was suggested to do a request for removal here. His reaction was that his initial comment was misread, therefor it doesn't seem correct to remove his rights per this request. Mvg, Basvb (talk) 11:24, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
I suggest putting this request on hold until Dolledre confirms that he wishes his admin privileges to be removed. Mathonius (talk) 11:40, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
Indeed, I'm the coördinator of the yearly moderatorconfirmation and he did not specificly stated that he is not ellectable for another year. His right's shouldn't be removed untill he says that he isn't ellectable. --Natuur12 (talk) 11:48, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
Unfortunately comprehensive reading has lost the local discussion to inertia. Local consensus as of the moment is to hold this request until Dolledre states in layman's terms that yes means yes. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 20:20, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Given that being a moderator at Dutch Wikipedia means taking responsibilities far beyond what I am able to do (for example, both agreeing with and avoiding an action by another moderator even before they have done it), I hereby request that this heavy weight is taken off me. - Andre Engels (talk) 23:18, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

  • I'd like to request to wait a few days with honouring this request. Currently, shit is hitting the fan on nl.wikipedia because of some nasty conflicts between moderators and between moderators and non-moderators. However, Andre has played no role at all in these conflicts and he is just an "innocent bystander". I can fully understand his frustration - I feel the same - but sincerely hope that within a day or two things are somewhat back to normal. Please give Andre a few days to reflect; he's a valued collegue and it would be a loss if he were to hand in his admin rights. CaAl (talk) 07:04, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
    • I guess I have a somewhat too strongly sense of responsibility in this kind of matter. And as it will be hard to change me or change Wikipedia, this does feel like the better solution. But if you do want to wait a few days, be my guest. I promise I won't go into an admin abuse spree in the meantime. - Andre Engels (talk) 08:28, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

My temporary adminship has expired. I need permanent access now. Votes for are under Разы дæн in the request page. Bouron (talk) 05:41, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

On the basis of this vote I can only extend your temporal access. Ruslik (talk) 07:18, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. What's wrong with this vote? --Bouron (talk) 07:34, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
If you mean the number of votes, then you should know that Ossetian Wikipedia have only 3-4 active users, including me.--Bouron (talk) 21:00, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
If there are only so few active users then the project does not need permanent administrators. I can extend your sysop access for 6 months. Ruslik (talk) 15:33, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
Could you please provide a link to the policy stating that? As I can see on the top of this section, for permanent sysopship one need to provide a link to the local community approval. I do have local community approval with 100% support. So where the rule about few active users came from? Also please consider stewards policy which says "Stewards should not override consensus, such as whether or not a user should be given a particular user right". In addition let's take a look at the page about Stewards. It says "They [stewards] are tasked with technical implementation of community consensus". So I still think you should give me permanent access, because oswiki doesn't have own bureaucrat to implement community consensus.--Bouron (talk) 19:45, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
Dear Ruslik, as a permanent administrator of the Ossetian Wikipedia I would like to speed up the process of providing Bouron with a permanent access. Could you please specify is there any problem with that? All our active contributors said that they are "pro". Bouron can contribute with an advanced level of the Ossetian language, that is why he needs permanent access in order to improve all pages, templates and articles in Ossetian Wikipedia. Thank you for your comments. Taamu (talk) 17:34, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Comment Comment You quote this: "Stewards should not override consensus, such as whether or not a user should be given a particular user right" as indicating a Steward must grant the right. However, this sentence has a fuller meaning. The Steward is acting as the Bureaucrat for the project and is required to determine whether consensus has been achieved first. Determination of consensus would usually include assessing whether the number of votes in support, the users who voted, the size of the community, etc., is adequate to show consensus. Three votes in support might not be considered adequate to show this consensus clearly (depending on the other factors). QuiteUnusual (talk) 19:40, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Four days left since I posted a link to the vote. Why stewards are determining consensus so unusually long?--Bouron (talk) 18:15, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Well, i thought you hadn't seen Savh's comment. You said that he was clearing opposing and they he came and said that was not, you said nothing about it. I thought you would revert me if i changed the template so the bot does not archived it. It's there, i linked the Sahvs comment so Ruslik could see the old request. Gusta (talk) 21:06, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
I don't have meat puppets. Zoldyick is active and came from Wikipedia long time before. Érico is a global sysop, already had edited there. Matheus came for the sysopship. I warned the community Gusta (talk) 21:08, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Frankly I can confirm my original evaluation, I must underline, again, I didn't evaluate anything than *arguments* within comments. Furthermore the project is definitely too small for granting any permanent adminship. Anyway, since another steward has judged there's a sufficient background for an adminship I think a the best deal is a temporary one, I'd tend for 3 months by now. --Vituzzu (talk) 21:20, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
