Reasoning for request
Hello, my name is I come PapercutsExist to you today, the community Miraheze, I can revert pages if a user vandalize it and block them for infinite. My request for stewardship sprouts from my will to help the community further. I always want to assist the community further, by doing whatever I can. Be that processing feature requests (which are now largely redundant), processing wiki creation requests, interwiki edit requests, Code of Conduct arbitration and helping the community wherever needed (the noticeboards etc.). I view stewards as the "community managers" of Miraheze. They are part of the twin pillars that ensure Miraheze's survival - the technical managers and the community manager's. contributions, previous experience with renames or interwiki rights. 「ペーパーカット？！」 PapercutsExist 02:22, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

I think it will be good to be a steward.

Oppose

 * 1)  First of all, you don't have many global edits and only 8 edits on Meta, which is not even close to enough for a Steward, and does not demonstrate activity or ability. Second, many of the things you mention you would like to do in your reasoning are not at all what Stewards do: feature requests are handled by sysadmins, wiki creation is handled by wiki creators, Code of Conduct is handled by the commission. Reception123  (talk) ('C' ) 05:37, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Not enough global edits and evidence showing they have the skill to be a steward. The comments in the request show that you don't even know what you actually do as a steward.  ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 06:47, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * 3)  I don't think you are now have the eligibility to be a steward, you have to demonstrate your long-term contributions activity work for showing that you exactly has the experimenting and confidently to community, before you can appointment your stewardship in the future. SA 13 Bro (talk) 17:00, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * 4)  I don't believe this user is stewardship material for two reasons, lack of global/local edits and does not fully understand what being a Steward entails. Unless this changes pretty drastically I will remain opposed.  Hypercane  <font color="#8152C6">(  talk <font color="#8152C6">) 17:14, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * 5)  The user has almost no global/local edits and the lack of understanding is most times a tell-tale sign of hat collection. Absolutely not. --<span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 20px lightskyblue, -4px -4px 20px HotPink;font-weight:bold;">Examknow ● talk ● contribs 19:37, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Reasoning for request
I need to request for Stewardship to block global IPs, add wikis, etc.

Oppose

 * 1) Considering that this is the first edit globally. I think we can snowball this request.-- 15:04, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Stewards are trusted, well-established members of the community. Given the fact you only have 2 global edits as of writing, one of which was writing this request for Stewardship, I do not believe you have the expertise to take on such a role. I would personally recommend you build yourself up in the community, join/establish your own wiki and learn the Mediawiki interface best you can, become a wiki creator and then possibly a CVT member. It is like building a house, stewardship is the roof, you can't craft the roof before you have the foundations and the external walls constructed. &#32;  Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  15:47, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

 * 6) with the recommendation to speedily close as declined. The user has basically no contributions to any MH wiki. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 23:45, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 7) Agree with Zppix, this should be closed immediately. --DeeM28 (talk) 16:17, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 8) WP:SNOW - With only sixteen global edits and this being his first on meta I absolutely cannot put my support for this request. Come back when you have more contributions and are better known in the community. Sorry. --<span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 20px lightskyblue, -4px -4px 20px HotPink;font-weight:bold;">EK ● contribs 00:11, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 9) I don't think you're eligible to become a Steward. No one can become a Steward with just 5 edits like you. Stewards are well-established, trustworthy, and reliable members. I absolutely can't support this request.

Revocation of NDKilla as Steward
User: NDKilla ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reasoning for request
First of all I would like to make it clear that I think NDKilla has done a great job as a sysadmin, volunteer and Steward in the past and that I have nothing against him. However, I think if you take a look at his recent contributions you can see that he has only had 10 edits on Meta in 2019 and a few log actions here and there. While he does not qualify for the very lenient inactivity rule I feel like it is safe to say that currently he is busy with other things and does not have enough time to take on the role of Steward and sysadmin. My opinion is that Stewards are really important to this farm because they guarantee that the community has a say and I also think that Stewards should be active people who are ready to respond to requests. I understand if a user is busy at some times but I feel like there is not much point in having a Steward who only uses their permissions a few times per year. So therefore even though I admire the work that NDKilla has done I think that he is no longer fit to serve the community as a Steward due to his inactivity. --DeeM28 (talk) 16:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Support

 * 1)  as proposer see rationale. --DeeM28 (talk) 16:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) not going to happen sorry bud... Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 16:39, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * That's quite inconsiderate, what is the reasoning behind your oppose? Should there not be a reason in your vote?
 * 1) still active and improving behind the scenes.  ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  16:49, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Respectfully where would you see the activity? If behind the scenes you mean as a sysadmin no one is putting that into question but publicly if you look at his activity as a Steward it can really not be considered 'active'. --DeeM28 (talk) 17:02, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * IRC, Discord, Phab. If they’re here, there’s no reason to remove tools and based on their respond time to recent incidents and this they are. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  17:04, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Comments

 * Just wanted to comment that I'm well aware I'm extremely inactive and barely using the rights. The note on my user page has been there for over a year. However, like you said I still have some edits and such and I don't think not using my rights very much is a reason to remove them. I'm still trustworthy, last I checked, and I do handle some things, like a recent rename (that was requested over discord!) I'm not very active on-wiki, but I'm still in the staff channel on IRC and Discord and I'm still managing the discord (not exactly steward-esque, but I recently created a new role and assigned it permissions for a different type of staff). -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 17:01, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your input. --DeeM28 (talk) 17:03, 3 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Additional comment less related to me exclusively. It's not like there's an upper bound on the number of Stewards or anything. An inactive Steward holding the permissions isn't preventing anyone else from also being a Steward. We've proven that. By removing an(y) inactive steward(s) you're only guaranteeing that someone who might handle something can't, you're not making it more likely for things to get handled. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 17:06, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Shaunak Chakraborty's Request for Stewardship
User: Shaunak Chakraborty ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; Chakraborty blocks log &bull; Chakraborty rights log &bull; Chakraborty global rights log )

Reasoning for request
Hello, I am an Interwiki admin and the founder of one of the top Miraheze wiki, Gyaanipedia. I am a regularly active user. Gyaanipedia is same as Uncyclopedia or Wikipedia, it is expanding everyday. There are many problems mostly the sock user problem as Gyaanipedia is extending everyday it is not possible for me to request or report each an every problem or query and then wait for a long. I want to resolve all these problems including sock users by myself. It will be time saving and beneficial for me as well as the other stewards also, I have s editing experience of almost 2 years in Miraheze.

Additional comments given by user (if any)
Yes I am accepting that I don't have much edits on Meta but you all can trust on me since two years continuously I had shown my honesty with dedication. In future I am planning to start more an more wikis so it will be very difficult for me to request and report each and every query and then wait. I promise that if I got this right then I will complete my duties on Meta on time.
