 * Successful. John (talk) 19:00, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

User: Dmehus ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: Looking through our current list of wiki creators, I see that we have about 23 wiki creators; however, of those, only about 12 have been active in the past thirty days. Given that we're all volunteers, we can't reasonably mandate a certain number of hours of activity per week. Plus, it's the summer season, so many are on vacation, some for extended periods. We should ideally aim to have all wikis created in less than 24 hours, subject to the requests providing sufficient explanation as to the requested wiki's scope and so forth. Finally, since we're all in different timezones, we should ideally aim to have 2-3 wiki creators from each of the timezones, as this should allow for absences, short periods of inactivity, etc., whilst still ensuring there's always a wiki creator available. Seeing a lot of wiki creation requests outstanding for several days in the past week, and similar to MrJaroslavik's request at the top of this page on wanting to help out with the wiki creation backlog, and having read our Content Policy and Dormancy Policy several times, I feel that I can make a positive contribution in this area (in addition to my contributions over at Public Test Wiki).

 * Comments/Questions
 * 1)  Have you read the Content Policy and Wiki creators guide? If a wiki request said "Wiki to work on stuff" would you decline or accept? Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 09:33, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 2)  While I have had very limited interactions with this user and I do agree that Cocopuff2018 could've better elucidated their nomination's reason to indicate their knowledge of the Content Policy, I did have one positive interaction with the user on Discord in which they looked at an outstanding wiki creation request from a user and said, at the same time as I was composing my own response to the user, that the the wiki requestor's description was not adequate enough. They also suggested improvements, not as detailed as my response, but still sufficiently detailed enough that it would've been clear to the wiki requestor had Cocopuff2018 been a wiki creator. So, for that reason, I personally have no objection to Cocopuff2018's nomination. A clearer explanation from Cocopuff2018 would move me more firmly from the no opposition to clear support column. Dmehus (talk) 13:15, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
 * hi so if someone said a wiki to just work on i will decline this request clearly has not enough detail to prove why the wiki should be created i will also ask them for more details of what there plans are to do with the wiki --Cocopuff2018  14:41, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 1)  You say you are patient, which you misspelled, but I do not think you are patient enough because you seem like you are in a hurry to type. You also misspell way too often to provoke any serious authority from you; with me at least. Please act like this is a job, not an achievement. WickyHoney (talk) 07:16, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 2)  Your reason is unfortunately enough to push me from  to . It's full of grammatical and spelling issues and clearly rushed which is exactly what it says you won't do.  ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  14:29, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 3) Symbol support vote.svg Weak support and no opposition The typographical errors and rushed self-nomination for the position, identified by WickyHoney and RhinosF1 above, do give me pause, but as I said above, I have no real reason to oppose as we do need more than one more wiki creator. The user does have a clue with regard to our Content Policy and I have seen instances on Discord in which the user stated how they would handle certain borderline requests. So, call this a moral support, with the view to a strong(er) support in another month or two. When and if you renominate yourself, I would strongly encourage you to make use of the "show preview" button before posting your nomination. A fully formatted nomination, mostly free of small typos (a couple exceptions are always forgivable, if you correct them right away), would likely see you supported unanimously or near unanimously. Dmehus (talk) 15:25, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 4)  I like the idea of having more users and users being encouraged to volunteer more but I do not think that this user is ready yet for the task of being wiki creator and I do not know if they would have enough judgement to take care of requests. I think it would be best to wait and show that you are capable. DeeM28 (talk) 17:15, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Extended Indefinitely. John (talk) 19:05, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

User: MrJaroslavik ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: Good evening all. As probably you know, about a month ago, I was request a temporary sysop rights. Now I would request permanent sysop rights. Unfortunately, I failed to complete all the tasks as I intended, only a part. In part, this was because I was handling (patrol) of new pages on the Czech Wikipedia (due to coronavirus is backlog of new pages long). Now I will have a lot of free time (summer holidays) and I think I can also help with other administrators tasks, such as blocking LTA, deleting, granting rights, ... And of course I will complete all tasks I wanted this month. Any questions? Ask me. Thanks for consideration. Regards-- MrJaroslavik (talk) 22:14, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

 * 1) He's Helpful around meta and plus we could use another Admin  i think its a great idea. --Cocopuff2018  20:23, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 2) I do think Meta could use another Administrator. This user appears trustworthy, and is very polite. WickyHoney (talk) 23:54, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 3) Got a clue, got a purpose, and is friendly. Whether we need more local Meta administrators is really secondary, in my view. If someone articulates well their purpose and intended use of the tools, then they meet my criteria and should be accepted. Dmehus (talk) 00:25, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 4) Helpful, no reason to not give indefinite, full adminship.  ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  14:25, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 5)  looking at contributions this user has done a very good job here fixing templates and even helped combat vandalism today! I am confident that MrJaroslavik can do a great job if his admin rights are kept. DeeM28 (talk) 17:17, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

 * ❌ Per the comments above, it is a bit too early to request wiki creator at this time. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 06:28, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

User: Rock ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: I want to help with wiki requests and believe that I can be active when others are not there. And I know its principles.I know my short edits but I have experience about wiki.

Additional comments: Why I want to get this right?

Answer: Because I want to help Miraheze

 * Comments/Questions
 * 1)  Can i Just say your reasoning is weak and the fact your not really giving a strong reason of why you should be given this role. Can you please explain how you plan to use the role? i Don't Feel your reasoning is strong enough? --Cocopuff2018  20:35, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * 2)  Your reason is not sufficient, and you haven't made enough of a mark on this wiki to portray yourself as a good candidate for this position. WickyHoney (talk) 20:50, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , very regrettably, per the above. I really dislike opposing candidates and would've preferred to abstain (that is, not provide opposition but not support either) per, well, the candidate's own lack of any provided explanation they understand the role, Content Policy, and Dormancy Policy. As well, while not necessarily a reason to oppose, per my own criteria, I am also somewhat troubled that this request was made merely eight minutes after the candidate requested re-addition of administrator and bureaucrat rights. As I stated elsewhere, I would strongly suggest, here or there, creating a personal sandbox and performing some constructive editing and writing sample tests. Thanks. If all of that were done, I'd be happy to potentially support in another month or two. Dmehus (talk) 21:35, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * 1)  Lets start with this...First off your reasoning is not strong enough. Another thing is the amount of local edits you have I would like to see more edits out of you then maybe a vote from me can come in the future I would suggest sticking around and getting to know more users, learning more about Miraheze/meta before your request is considered for my vote. Sorry --Cocopuff2018  23:39, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

TFFfan (Wiki creator)
User: TFFfan ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: I have not made that many edits on wikis, and I only own 1 wiki. However, I have noticed there is not that many wiki creators, and I really want to help miraheze expand, and I would like to grant or deny wiki requests.

Additional comments: I have looked over the rules, and I do understand how they work, and I really would love to help out Miraheze expand.

 * Comments/Questions
 * Please tell us how you action the following request(s). (Please reply to each individually, copying the indentation for each question above and adding a single colon per WP:LISTGAP.):
 * Sitename reads as "Star Wiki" and description reads "for fun, chat and stuff."
 * A wiki containing writings and information depicting what life would be like if the Germans had been victorious in World War II.
 * A wiki, sufficiently defined topicly, which epouses non-mainstream, far-right (or far-left) views and information, some of which may be factually correct but some of which may not.
 * A wiki, sufficiently defined topicly, which may have the same or similar purpose or scope as existing wikis but which isn't a wholly duplicate mirror of an existing wiki.
 * --Dmehus (talk) 16:40, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Here is my answers
 * 1 Deny, because the wiki would be used for a chat room, because a wiki is not a forum.
 * 2 Accept, because it provides an account of what life would be like, and it provides historically accurate information. It could be used for educational purposes.
 * 3 Accept, because it could be an educational resource for political students looking for information about issues on all areas of the political spectrum, and for people wanting to get information about different sides of things, including the farther sides.
 * 4 Deny, because the content policy states that "A wiki must not create problems which make it difficult for other wikis." This could create difficulties in the other wiki, and could cause a dispute between editors, and cause others to not edit in good faith.


 * I hope this answers your questions. Thanks for asking! --TFFfan (talk) 16:54, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for answering so quickly. I will not respond with the answers to the questions until after the other candidate has answered. Dmehus (talk) 17:02, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
