Extensive discussion moved to [1]. —MarcoAurelio 18:11, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
As said on talk page, no election policy violation appears to have ocurred, and he's plenty of community support. I'd say we can grant this. —MarcoAurelio 15:18, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
I agree, no convincing argument is provided so far that the election policy been violated thus done. There are plenty of support vote in the local page (100%), even if we count Vadgt's concern here, that's not going to change the status of the favor ratio. ~ Nahid Talk 06:57, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Bureaucrat access

AryanSogd@tgwikipedia

Good evening. Please consider the fact that I was twice administrator for 6 months (without a vote and with the voices). My bot AryanBot is a bot admin. Thank,--AryanSogd (t) 18:02, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Looking over the request, there is a high level of support (19 support / 0 neutral / 0 oppose). There are three active admins, one inactive, of which one active one holds temporary adminship for 7 months. There are 78 users who have edited in the last 30 days. I'm inclined to grant this, but I would like a couple of other stewards to look over the request first since this will totally remove meta from the local user rights process. Ajraddatz (talk) 02:10, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
Though it is not a policy (usually) that the requester must be on the sysop group to become a crat but I'd rather not comfortable to grant the crat right if they are not in the sysop group as well, since it is customary. Besides that, out of 4 admins: one of them is bot, one of them has stopped editing 6 days later, after they were granted temporary right on 31 August 2015 (the right is going to expire 31st of this month). So there are actually two admins right now and one of them performed their last log action in nearly one and a half months ago. Among those active users, only 13 of them (without bots) have made 10+ edits in the last 30 days (I didn't check for cross-wiki automatic edits like, file moving or username change). To summarize these, I'd say the community is not big enough to grant a crat. Best, ~ Nahid Talk 02:59, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
@Ajraddatz, thanks for support! @NahidSultan, if I understand you, many local communities for you does not matter and you know better what we need and what is not? Then why there are rules and whether they translate into Tajik, If they eventually useless? The number of administrators as well as active participants (it seems to me), not grows thanks to some stewards, who manage to create problems for no reason. If you know how to solve our problems, I gladly and with a light heart, give you my voice. You have to promise that you will always be present in our project and to respond to local needs. Work which you will need to deal with:
  1. Administrators control the activity.
  2. Assign up to vote and flag bot and administrator (other instruments we do not have).
  3. Translation rights (which we have almost no)
  4. Responding to local issues to remove unnecessary pages
  5. Block unfair participants
  6. Patrol article and see if such articles, I ask you to do so, so that they are at least like this.
  7. To create the necessary templates and modules to improve the quality of our articles and much more.

Agree, I am a simple party it is not obliged to be engaged all these. I try to minimize our problems - you try to enlarge them. Every time when faced with Metawiki, more and more disappointed in the correct choice, but the native language It makes me go forward, despite any bureaucratic obstacles. Sorry for my english and thank you for your attention--AryanSogd (t) 06:19, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

First of all, after reading through your comment it seems to me that you have taken my comment personally and if in anyway I hurt your feelings I apologize. But my comment above is not in anyway meant for you or the community rather it was just my thoughts over the situations. As a steward we just execute the task through roles and where situations may come up we just use the best practices that's why neither of us marked the request as done so that other stewards can voice their opinions. As I said above, Usually we do not accept crats on small communities and in the past, we didn't probably get a crat request (as far as I'm aware of but I maybe wrong) without being on the sysop group. With all this this request creates a unique situation for us. I'm also from a small community so of course I know the pain of that. As for the argument, the task you've mentioned, they can be done without the crat flag except (granting bot and administrator). I don't know how stewards create problems growing the community by interfering; rather they are pretty fast and friendly to the request. Once again, I'm sorry if I hurt you in anyway with my comment. Best, ~ Nahid Talk 07:31, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
I'll tell you how the eldest and had seen a lot in this life, that the mere presence of a bureaucrat on the project, аdministrators will make on another it refers to commit themselves + This would make it easier to obtain the necessary tools. For those who wish to conduct administrative work and such we have, but at the moment the process of the preparation of these instruments is so humiliating that no one wants to give queries. That is what I wrote at the top, this tip of the iceberg of our problems, I do not want to go into the details and take out the garbage at home. In the election of stewards I spoke with Ruslik. He said that the need to have at least 15 high-quality voices for bureaucrat flag and not less than five votes for a permanent administrator. I wish the participants and spent my time on empty election. I said everything, thank you--AryanSogd (t) 09:40, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
(Former steward giving my perspective) The reason that stewards are usually cautious in giving out bureaucrat rights in situations like this is that it makes it difficult for them to intervene later if something goes wrong, i.e. the community is later unhappy with the bureaucrat, or they start abusing the tools. There's case after case listed on RFC of such situations. --Rschen7754 23:15, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
I know. In my experience our community is increasing due to many factors. This wiki awards, after receipt of which they begin to benefit even more. Thank edits in the history of useful editing. Template Invitation to participate in different projects posted on the relevant pages of the discussions. Thanks to the discussion pages and above all the friendly treatment to each other. After I had promised that the problems with obtaining the necessary tools nebudet longer, if I get a bureaucrat flag, community intensified. The last two years have not seen such activity. People believed in me, because I promised to give the project a robotic support and I kept his word. In summary I want to say that the goal is to improve the technical possibilities for comfortable work community and the fight against vandalism. Thank--AryanSogd (t) 06:06, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

The participants' edit counts are 320, 1951, 102, 14552, 18, 405, 141, 21, 2, 83, 9, 21, 3692, 45, 119, 18, 30, 30384, 264, 27, i.e. only 4 users with more than 500 edits. I think this is not enough. It's also not appropriate for a single bureaucrat to be elected on a wiki with only 3 admins, in my opinion. --MF-W 03:02, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

In the case where the flag will administrators twice longer in a short time, two of which are scientists and one employee of the National Library of Tajikistan. If not, I doubt that in the coming years, someone wants to come to you for the administrator flag, other tools to combat vandalism we no. On the page to delete, I am bringing up the name of the bot (nonsense). Thank--AryanSogd (t) 03:54, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

I don't understand this comment at all. Care to reformulate? --MF-W 17:57, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
Above I wrote not for you. I use machine translation, so my English is so awful, and I'm confused already. Thank--AryanSogd (t) 18:52, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
I do not understand where this requirement of 500 edits comes from? It is rather unprecedented in the history of local elections and looks arbitrary and capricious. Ten edits from accounts that was created before elections would suffice. Ruslik (talk) 13:41, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
Of course it is arbitrary, but so is "ten edits from accounts that was created before elections". I was merely indicating that a possible way to look at this. I regularly check participants' edit counts also in sysop requests when deciding whether to give permanent or temporary adminship. It seems prudent to consider it regarding bureaucrats as well. --MF-W 17:57, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

P.S. I'm sorry, I did not realize you The above argument. As bureaucrats have no rules. According to our voting rules on the status of administrator, you must have at least 5 revisions to take part in the vote and these rules do not, I wrote. According to Russian regulations, the right to vote when choosing a bureaucrat are parties to make 30 amendments to the application. If there is a rule in which the participants have made at least 500 edits do not have the right to vote, then why are there still the stewards were not warned about the administrators and bureaucrats in all language editions of Wikipedia, so that they can fix it? Thank--AryanSogd (t) 07:07, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Ruslik according to our rules, only two people could not vote because at the time of voting had one revision and these rules apply to administrators. As bureaucrats and nothing will not be in the case of a negative decision. Also, there will be neither a coordination of the work of administrators and control over them. There is a basis for the growth in the number of administrators, but I I doubt that any of them would want to come here to get to 3 or 6 months Administrator status. With the increasing number of participants, increasing the number of vandals vandals And much more than the participants. I have no desire to enter into each time a bot account from your phone to the request of the participants blocked vandals or delete pages with no encyclopedic value, but I have to do this because they do not always have the opportunity to work with your computer. Agree, the bot must work with the program, which was approved. Administrators can not 24 hours a day it is at the site as well as the other tools we have that would allow to deal with shortcomings mean it is necessary to compensate for this increase in the number of administrators and not for 3-6 months as you do, and on a continuous basis. If you are afraid that I will abuse this tool, I can on your page to link to any of the stewards, so that in case of complaints, the participants knew who to turn to or the page of the stewards, which I specifically for this purpose translate.

The second option: check the contributions of our active members and who will count themselves worthy, all my votes count it, but to the Tajik language was native to him, to know all of our problems and working on getting it fixed.--AryanSogd (t) 15:31, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

  • There are now 20 supporting votes on the request. There is no reason to not grant it at this point; while I understand the concerns of my colleagues, there is clear community support for this addition and I don't think it is appropriate for us to block community consensus without some very good reason. There is no evidence of sockpuppetry, limited evidence for non-contributors voting, and no indication that the rights will be abused. I know it's hard for us to "take control" once there is a local 'crat, but at this point I just don't see how we can continue to ignore this request. Ajraddatz (talk) 19:19, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
    Done I do not think that there is any other option left in this situation. Ruslik (talk) 19:59, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

I thank all participants of this discussion and take this opportunity to wish to address: @M7 all the voices of our community, are proof that I have not let you down. @MarcoAurelio your decision It helped the project get a powerful robotic support and this is one of the reasons for community support. @Ajraddatz thanks to your support, Today our community is happy, and hope that this tool will benefit our project. @Ruslik I will try to do so in the future you will not regret about his decision today. Once again thank you all for participating. Sincerely,--AryanSogd (t) 12:48, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Elected as Burocreat Sciking (talk) 12:57, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Just two votes? I do not see a sufficient consensus. Ruslik (talk) 13:23, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
The problem is that lmo.wiki is a very small community and the actually active users who participate to the community life in this period are just five, two of them voted in favour, one of them forgot to vote but after the term expired said that he also is in favour. Another one of the five users never participated to decision taking discussions, and the last of the five is the same cadidate that didn't want to vote for himself. --Ninonino (talk) 13:46, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Then the wiki is too small to have local 'crats. --Vituzzu (talk) 13:54, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Sorry, we were not aware of this rule, where is it published and where have this rule been discussed and approved? Again, I am a burocrat of lmo.wiki since 2012: if this is the rule, I am abusively covering this role, should I be removed then? --Ninonino (talk) 14:35, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Don't worry current active bureaucrats will hold their position until resignation/inactivity/etc. anyway I didn't put {{not done}} because some other fellow steward might want to review the situation since lmo.wiki already has/had 'crats. --Vituzzu (talk) 14:46, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Ok, thank you. --Ninonino (talk) 14:48, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
There isn't enough of a community to warrant local 'crats IMO. That said, Ninonino could just make the user a bureaucrat as a local 'crat. Given the active bureaucrats on the project I don't think it's our role to act in this case either way. Ajraddatz (talk) 19:27, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Anne-Sophie Ofrim@nowikibooks

I would like to apply for adminship on the Norwegian Wikibooks. There are no sysops or bureaucrats at the project; the last 4 sysops and 1 bureaucrat were active in 2007, 2009 and 2010. There are a lot of pages and some files that have to be deleted at the project and other technical maintenance work.

I am an experienced user and have been sysop at nowiki since 2010 and at nnwiki since 2013, but I only have 934 edits at wikibooks. I was a temporary admin at Wikibooks from 20 November 2012 till 20. february 2013 - my request from 2012 - a period I used for cleanup and maintenance work.

The community of Wikibooks is very small, but I have postet an announcement at the Samfunnshuset (Village pump) today to inform the community about this request. Anne-Sophie Ofrim (talk) 16:57, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

ANBI@psWp

(psWp is expanding and it needs an admin that knows the native language and solve the issues that can only be solved by someone who know the language. Global sysops have problems of understanding the discussions that take place in native language. There are some users that are not familiar to communicate in english language thus it is the urgent need of Pashto wiki. Since I have expierence of 10 years working in different aspects of Pashto wiki and there are users who support me therefore I nominate myself and assign a nomination page where users will vote. For further details see the link in discussion) ANBI (talk) 10:06, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

I accept your offer of 3 months adminship. --ANBI (talk) 20:47, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
@Ruslik I am applying for permanent sysop status for Pashto wiki. I don't know why you still don't have any record of my previous actions. So far there is not any of my actions that is against the Wikimedia/Meta wiki/Wikipedia regulations. I have been a sysop and bureaucrat in Pashto wiki before. Please look at the history of my contribution and my participation in Pashto Wikipedia. Also I don't know on what basis you provide me with a temporary sysop and on what grounds do you monitor my actions and how well are you familiar of the language (Pashto) so that you can understand the justification behind my action. --ANBI (talk) 13:13, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
We are granting temporary adminship, there is no discussion about that - we need to monitor your use of the tools because it has been shown previously that the ps.wiki adminship team could not function properly and individually. Since it is us who grant you these rights, we ask you to justify any controversial action in English should there be any discussion here. If we don't understand your action, and if you seem unwilling to justify it appropiately, we will likely see no reason to keep entrusting you with sysopship. Please be assured we act in what we believe to be the interest of the project - as we also did when removing all sysops on this project. Regarding you specifically, and since maybe on hindsight you are able to provide a deeper response, could you explain how your assignment of rights to Khangul (who, if I understand correctly, seems to be related to you) is not an action of meatpuppetry/Conflict of interest? Would you now, if you had the same access, act as you did then? Savhñ 01:31, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Reading "Those of you WHO oppose my nomination and vote against me please provide your reason or your votes will be removed from my nomination page. Thank you. --ANBI (خبرې اترې) 19:44, 10 نومبر 2015 (UTC)" I believe we cannot trust you as an admin on this project. Wikipedia strives at a transparent and open process, and oppose votes without motivation can simply not be removed because of that. Savhñ 01:36, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
@Savhñ We have discussed this issue in emails and I disagree with your judgement that you have mentioned about my attitude towards other users. What you perceive from my written words is not the same as I do. There is the cultural and language difference that can make misunderstandings. English is not my first language and it is hard for me to make you understand what I mean. I think we have discussed the issues in email and for my last email I have not received any answers from you. Cheers --ANBI (talk) 20:46, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

What do you want from us? Ruslik (talk) 19:00, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Those sysops who disrupt the work in az.wikipedia, who is busy with inequitable edits, who does vandalism and brakes rules should be subjected to temporal or non-temporal blocks. There should be a referendum held on sysops' credibility and it should be made clear to the admins that they shouldn't do anything to prevent this referendum.

Invalid request thus marking as Not done. The situation sholud be handled either in local wiki or through meta RFC if appropriate. ~ Nahid Talk 16:20, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
