Reason(s) for request
Hello everyone, I'm HeyTürkiye. This will be my 3rd Global Sysop application. In my first application, I realized that I was hat hunting and withdrew my candidacy, in my 2nd application, I noted that I was a little late, a little inexperienced, other users were lacking in my opinion and I worked on those issues for 1 month and here I am again with the 3rd application. I know how hard it is to be a Global Sysop, how to fight against vandalism, how to have good faith discussions with users, how to protect pages, how to block/warn users (I have even fought against vandalism myself many times on other wikis) and I am confident that I will be able to handle it when I apply for Global Sysop. A little bit of my own background; I have done more than 4000 page edits and more than 1000 servicer actions on Feign Wiki (feignwiki) My user rights can be seen here. My diary can be seen here. On the wikis where I am a bureaucrat and an administrator, I use the administrator tools effectively, and I would like to say that I have made nearly 13 thousand contributions on global wikis. (Global contributions can be seen here.) I usually try to stay active on Discord or IRC and try to help users a little bit. (I also try to stay active in Interwiki requests, Support or offtopic channels.) Aside from my translation skills, I also translate Miraheze pages in my own language using my native Turkish. I have read the global policies and I agree that my authority will be taken away by the stewards in case of abuse. I will gladly answer your questions, whether bad or good. Whether my candidacy is successful or unsuccessful, let it be good for Miraheze 😊. Best regards, Hey Türkiye  Message? 08:30, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1)  This is the second request for Global Sysop in a little over a month.  The reasons for my prior opposition have not yet been solved and in Hey_Türkiye's withdrawal on their prior request they stated that they will not have significant time to devote to the role if approved until July 2023 at the earliest.  My vote has not changed. --NotAracham (talk • contribs • global) 16:49, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 2)  I agree with the above. Not much has changed between then and now. --Blad  (talk • contribs • global) 22:25, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 3)  Per my oppose previously, I haven't seen enough from the user to show that they are capable of the global sysop right. It's too early. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 19:52, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Raidarr's Nomination for Global Sysop

 * Unanimous support. ✅. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 18:45, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

User: Raidarr ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reason(s) for request
Raidarr needs no introduction. He was previously a Global Sysop and later a Steward here on Miraheze. He previously resigned as commitments in his life would make it impossible to properly tackle all the aspects of being a Steward but he returned a while ago and is very willing to help. He's been active here on Meta and has been helpful on the Discord front and has chimed in on various discussions which has been of great help as his rational thinking has always assisted the CVT and Steward team greatly. As I've always said, the counter vandalism work is great and requires as much help as needed. Raidarr has shown himself capable of being able to properly use the tools globally in the past and his help would be wonderful. There are various things which he has helped in the past which has positively assisted in our CVT workflow and I don't doubt his suggestions, changes, and help will continue to help the team. For this reason, I nominate Raidarr for Global Sysop. Agent Isai Talk to me! 18:22, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Additional comments given by user (if any)
I accept the nomination. I would not be comfortable assuming the full role of Steward right now, but I can maintain enough of a presence in the meantime to use these rights effectively and take the edge off when I get the right moments - something which appears to be needed as all stewards are once again quite busy. It seems to be a curse of the role. I remain in contact and on good terms with the current Steward team, something I'd think is quite important for anyone with this right. I expect to be present with current activity levels for the foreseeable future, as the circumstances that I expected to keep me away for much longer have ended. Questions and inquiries are welcome as ever; this may not be Stewardship but it is a fairly significant role deserving of scrutiny. --Raidarr (talk) 18:41, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Support

 * 1)  As nominator, per nomination foreword.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 18:22, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 2)  Raidarr was an incredibly welcoming presence when I first started to volunteer, serving as both a wealth of institutional knowledge and a source of reasoned advice when I wasn't sure how to proceed.  I'm happy to see they're interested in rejoining the volunteer team in a greater capacity.  While I sometimes find myself on the opposing side of a debate, I never have doubt that their views are well-reasoned and display sound judgement.--NotAracham (talk • contribs • global) 18:49, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 3)  I'm obviously supporting this. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 18:54, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 4)  per above. Tali64³ (talk) 18:59, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 5)  This is an easy support for me. I've known  for a while now on Miraheze, and they've been nothing but kind, welcoming, and incredibly supportive and responsive to questions that users have. Judging from their previous stint as a Steward, I have absolutely no doubt that they'll be a great asset to the team. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 22:03, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 6)  I cannot point to any particular issues in Raidarr's tenure as Global Sysop and Steward and I think that he has done a good job overall. If he is ready to commit to being active again I have no issues with this request. --DeeM28 (talk) 09:42, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 7)  Welcome back! by Buehl106 ·Talk·e-mail 10:12, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

NotAracham's Nomination for Global Sysop

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Unanimous support. ✅. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 18:47, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

User: NotAracham ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reason(s) for request
NotAracham is a very dedicated volunteer. We see him constantly, every day, on the Discord and IRC fronts always assisting users and tackling many tasks. He is also a very prolific wiki creator and is extremely helpful. As I stated in the nomination for Raidarr, the Counter Vandalism Team is always looking for new members to help it, the field is great. While two requests at the same time might seem strange, I deem it necessary as the workload can get high and having two or three primarily active CVT members to deal with up to 7,000 wikis at moments is rather difficult. NotAracham has demonstrated to everyone that is very eager to learn and also eager to help out in any way possible. His input on many things is quite helpful. Globally, NotAracham also helps us patrol wikis sometimes and assists the CVT team in checking and triaging requests made to the team in venues such as on the #cvt/#miraheze-cvt channels on Discord/IRC. He is always attentive which is a big plus and could definitely help the CVT team reduce the overall time it takes us to action requests such as locks, local blocks, reverting vandalism, etc. Locally on Meta, he has shown that he has the skills needed and required for a role like Global Sysop (especially in the role of countervandalism) and has a very good understanding of MediaWiki, being a very avid wiki editor who manages his own wikis and has been a wiki editor for quite a while. He has shown to have very good understanding of policy and has very good communication skills which is absolutely vital to this role. NotAracham is an asset to the project and for all these reasons, I nominate NotAracham for Global Sysop. Agent Isai Talk to me! 18:57, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Additional comments given by user (if any)
I accept the nomination. While I was previously unsure if my current obligations outside of Miraheze and existing volunteer duties would allow me to accept, our very enthusiastic recent volunteers (thanks Tali!) have put any concerns I had about time commitments to rest.

For those who aren't as familiar with my CV and Discord presence, a little about me:
 * Joined Miraheze in August 2022 after hearing positive things about y'all as a wiki-host
 * Started assisting others w/ questions by mid-Sept 2022 to pay back all the help I received while starting out
 * Currently serving as Wiki Creator (Nov 2022) and Interwiki Admin (Jan 2023)
 * I maintain 2 public wikis (one of which was a migration from fandom) along with a personal wiki for other projects
 * While not explicitly required for the role, I have a signed NDA with Miraheze and am on good terms with the members of the steward team that are on Discord.

I thank the community for the trust they have shown thus far in my tenure as a volunteer. One thing I plan to take forward from my time starting out as a Wiki Creator is that your veteran team members can be your greatest strength -- a second opinion is never a bad thing and there is a wealth of institutional knowledge to be had between our existing Global Sysop and Steward volunteers.

I am willing and stand ready to answer any community questions (within reason), thanks for your consideration and thank you to Agent for the nomination. --NotAracham (talk • contribs • global) 19:16, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Support

 * 1)  Per nomination. I have no doubt NotAracham is an asset to the team.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 18:57, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 2)  We currently only have 2 Global Sysops. Having NotAracham (in addition to Raidarr when the request preceding this one is successful) will lessen the work that Stewards have to do. (P.S. You're welcome!) Tali64³ (talk) 20:29, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 3)  I'll be honest, there was some pause in my supporting this request. The timing of this request coinciding with a number of other events on Miraheze was a bit odd. But it doesn't even matter in the end because NotAracham is that trusted on Miraheze. He's a wiki creator and Discord moderator, and even though he's not a global rollbacker yet (as I had outlined in my criteria for Global Sysop support voting above), he's an exception. From my personal and public interactions with him, NotAracham has been nothing but kind, respectful, and helpful to users in their times of need. He always has an excellent answer to a question posed, or will defer to others when he doesn't know the answer. He won't try and make up something random, he's a straight shooter. I completely support this request for Global Sysop, and think he will be a fantastic addition to the team. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 01:40, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * There is no "path of advancement" from global rollbacker to global sysop, because they operate differently (for example, you can opt out of global sysops, but cannot opt out of global rollbackers). Some people are both, some people are only one or the other. There's no need to treat Miraheze like some sort of heirarchy. Naleksuh (talk) 23:07, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I would agree it's not a hierarchy per se but it must be pointed out that Global Rollbackers are defined as users "who help Global Sysops and Stewards" so the fact can't be fully denied. Additionally, in the introduction to the RfC Agent mentioned that he hoped "that this group serves as a stepping stone for future Global Sysops to gain the community's trust" and there was no opposition to the statement anywhere in this RfC. Therefore, I don't agree with the statement that there is no path of advancement. I would also disagree with the idea of having someone as both GR and GS and if that is the current interpretation would create an RfC to prevent that. The opt-out part is also an anomaly in my view which should be rectified. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 15:25, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Agree, definitely not a requirement, but for most users, I’d like to see some level of counter-vandalism activity on Miraheze before supporting the second-most advanced CV right on Miraheze. The reason I’m making an exception for NotAracham as because as the proposal outlines, they’ve been active on CVT channels internally and publicly. They’re also a Discord moderator for Miraheze, which is sort of CVT in its own way. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 06:38, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 1)  Even if NotAracham has only been here for six months I had the opportunity to look into his contributions to Meta and was very pleased at how active NotAracham is on Meta and I take Agent Isai's word that this is also the case on Discord and IRC. It could have made sense to wait a while longer as there is not necessarily as far as I am aware an urgent need for Global Sysops but I think based on the level of activity it is acceptable. As for qualififations based on what I have seen on Meta so far and particularly in responses and comments in relation to the Requests for Comments I think that the level of discretion necessary for the role of Global Sysop is met. As I have said before to other candidates for Global Sysop,  would like to recommend to NotAracham that at the beginning of his tenure as Global Sysop he takes things a little easier and does not hesitate to ask his colleagues for help regarding the customs, conventions and other aspects of the position as to not do things substantively differently than the current 'Team' does it. --DeeM28 (talk) 09:49, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 2) Per above --Blad  (talk • contribs • global) 20:36, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 3)  In the bigger picture of CVT, NotAracham is new blood. Perhaps too new, but he has some qualities that boost him beyond his young account age. He's gotten on very well with current and (as of now) former functionaries; already he has been a useful advisor for community and to an extent even technical matters. Not to speak of his significant support in wiki creation and operating the discord. His influence is fairly 'gentle'; he would be a more conservative actor even among the current crowd counting myself, so he is a good moderating influence. Willing to say his piece but not be uncivil or boorish about it. He's quite willing to learn and collaborate, and he is a quite mature individual. In him there's a mixture that is hard to come by considering the rocky applicants for this role before and I think it would be worth giving him a chance. I find very little that would make me uneasy or concerned. I only hope we see this turn into a long and fruitful term, and not be, well, spotty as mine have been. --Raidarr (talk) 13:30, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 4)  @NotAracham is a general active user in Interwiki requests and Discord, everyone knows that. When I have spoken to NotAracham, he has always greeted me with a nice language, I have never seen a rude language. I even saw that he was active in Miraheze, just because he did not sleep and took a nap. That's why I want to use strongest support. I don't know if it can be a problem, but I believe that NotAracham will do his duty and work for Miraheze even if he is between UTC-07:00 and UTC-08:00 time zones (that is, even if there is a time difference). I wish NotAracham success in this new task from here. I hope it will be good for him. Sincerely regards  Hey Türkiye  Message? 16:15, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 5)   I am relatively new to Miraheze.  So I am only just starting to know the volunteers.  I'm starting out with that statement because that is how I got to know NotAracham.  When I lost my wiki due to db141, NotAracham was churning out how to docs.  That really impressed me because he was so dedicated to empowering lost wiki users get through the db141 moment in time.  I barely had a vocabulary and it was nice to have something to point at (better than fumbling with words that made no sense to anyone but me).  More than that, when I opened a new wiki, he made it very clear what he liked and didn't like about my request, which provided invaluable insight into my own project.  I like how inquiring his mind is, and how direct he can be at tackling issues.  There's no doubt in my mind that he will make a great Global Sysop --Imamy (talk) 03:54, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 6)   Cocopuff2018 (talk) 04:44, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 7)  Per others. NotAracham has been a very helpful, neutral, calm, and collected volunteer, being very helpful on IRC, Discord, and in approving wiki requests. Collei (talk) 05:35, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 8)  Per above.NotAracham is one of the best users on Miraheze.Job done by him/her is very great.No problem.Good luck! by Buehl106 ·Talk·e-mail 09:14, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

DarkMatterMan4500's Request for Global Sysop

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * I'm deciding to not pursue this, and will for a fourth time. Sorry not sorry. Besides, I misunderstood what  has been telling me about the whole voting for new global sysops thing and whatnot. While I cannot deny my uptight anger gets the best of me a lot when it comes to dealing with persistent annoyance from LTAs, I think I'm just better off not trying this again. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:56, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

User: DarkMatterMan4500 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reason(s) for request
This requires no introduction here. I have been a member of the Miraheze community for over 3 years since my arrival here on January 29th, 2020, and it's been quite a blast. I have been helping with reverting vandalism within the span of 3 years, considering I've been quite helpful in terms of voting in RfCs, and giving my feedback on certain things. As you can see, I have since successfully acquired my global rollbacker flag back in October of 2022, as I have reported problems directly to the stewards and other CVT members through Discord (although I have also taken the time to report any ToS violations to the Trust & Safety team privately). With this, I can hopefully respond to requests easily, ranging from cleaning up any form of cross-wiki disruption and/or other forms of abusive behavior, try to calm down the storm before it can get any worse, and try to resolve the situation. I know I've attempted this about 3 times (1 in 2020, and the other 2 back in 2021), although I did withdraw the request as I felt like I wasn't ready yet, now I feel like it's the right time to shine here. I know some of you in here may have very little doubt, but you are more than welcome to voice them here by voting. Thank you for taking your time to read this request, and I hope you can consider me. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:01, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Additional comments given by user (if any)
In terms of me attempting this a 4th time throughout the span of 3 years, I really hope I can make a difference in this community. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:01, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Questions for candidate

 * 1) As of late, I haven't seen you as active on Miraheze and haven't seen you use your Global Rollbacker rights. Do you pledge to devote more time to the CVT work? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 2) What would you bring to the team? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 3) Presently, we have 4 Global Sysops and 4 Stewards, 8 people in the CVT team, a record for CVT, why do you believe your addition would be beneficial for the team? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 4) In the past, concerns have been raised about your judgement. Particularly, concerns have been raised about somewhat rash and 'trigger-happy' attitudes displayed from you. What can you say about this? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 5) In the past, it's been noted that you sometimes seem to order Stewards to do things. I don't believe this is in bad faith but rather the product of miscommunication. What would you do to address any potential issues with miscommunication and how would you foment strong relationships with your fellow peers in CVT? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 6) Global Sysop policy states that Global Sysops work with communities to address issues facing them locally. How do you interpret this? When do you believe it is acceptable for a Global Sysop to intervene locally? Only in countervandalism issues or does this include other issues? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 7) In your view, when would it be allowable to lock an account? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 8) What prompted this RfGR? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 9) Do you foresee yourself being active in the near future, more so than you already are? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * To answer the first question, I've actually been more active on my Kirby Wiki, which would explain the inactivity on Meta as of lately, and I actually have used my global rollbacker flag within the span of 4 months, it's just that I've been responding to them cross-wiki, and not just Meta. In other words, yes. To answer the 2nd question, I intend to at least help with backlogs (if I were to become more active than I have been here for the past few months), and try to at least help calm down the storm. To answer the 3rd question, I'm not quite sure how to process this, other than maybe show some support. Also for questions 4 and 5, I will admit I have displayed such trigger-happy attitudes that isn't expected from anyone else in this community, and seemed to have ordered the Stewards around, albeit not intentionally. I will also admit that I sometimes misunderstand what's being conveyed to me, so why would I need to try and hide it, especially when it's already out there for many people to see? As for question 6, what I can try to interpret in the best way possible without sounding stupid is to try to look into the situation without being one-sided, and try to get both sides of the story. I get that it might not mean too much, but this is to not make myself look extremely biased. As for question 7? It would be appropriate to lock an account if they are becoming problematic (such as egregious Code of Conduct violations, doing cross-wiki vandalism or other abuse, or other violations), and I intend to mitigate the disruption before it gets worse. To answer question 8, I simply thought there were some openings for people with experience to apply for this, but I somehow must have misunderstood what was being said to me. And question 9? I'll try to be more active here as well. Thank you for asking me the questions. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:09, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

DMM has been very proactive in reporting vandalism and LTA’s, however, the recent inactivity in the field concerns me, especially when claiming that they have gotten better in terms of rashness with nothing to show that it’s true. I would also like to note the constant hostility toward LTAs and users that “annoy” him, which is concerning for a group of users who (b)lock users. However, I would support it perhaps in a few months of CVT activity and signs of improvement. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 21:58, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I could just withdraw this, and not pursue this. Besides, I've been more active on my Kirby Wiki lately, so I should seek the opportunity to edit there instead. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:50, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Buehl106's Request for global rollbacker
User: Buehl106 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reason(s) for request
Hello.Today I request Global rollbacker role.Agent Isai advised me that my experience would be more helpful by becomeing GR.(Example) So I decided to request this rights.In fact,I've been miraheze user for about 1 year and have admin/bc rights on many Japanese wikis.I am especially familiar with how to deal with vandalism through our activities on ysmwiki and wikisitewiki.Also, if I become a GR, I can quickly request the local administrator to remove any copyright infringement or personal information.There are currently few vandals at Meta, but in the past, I have responded to vandalism when there was some. Another reason for my candidacy is that Japanese language wikis are often neglected and vandalism has not been reverted.Thank you. by Buehl106 ·Talk·e-mail 22:47, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Questions for candidate

 * 1) There is a big problem with sockpuppets and LTAs on Japanese wikis. If elected, would you assist CVT and report more sockpuppets encountered for CheckUser on the Stewards' noticeboard? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 23:09, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes.I will reduce the amount of activity on meta a little and patrol other wikis and report. by Buehl106 ·Talk·e-mail 23:25, 1 March 2023 (UTC)


 * 1) Communication is important for the role. Do you foresee yourself potentially joining our Discord or IRC channels? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 23:09, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I've already joined discord.I'd increase activity on Discord as well if elected. by Buehl106 ·Talk·e-mail 23:25, 1 March 2023 (UTC)


 * 1) Do you see yourself as remaining active in the near future? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 23:09, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * My current private life is very stable and there is almost no fear of becoming inactive. by Buehl106 ·Talk·e-mail 23:25, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Comments by other users

 * 1)  Also, if I become a GR, I can quickly request the local administrator to remove any copyright infringement or personal information I think you misunderstand the scope of Global Rollbacker; their purpose it to rollback edits, not deal with such violations of policies. --  Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 23:05, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I know. Not to be confused with GS. The main purpose of GR is rollback. However, when I remand on various Japanese wikis, I also performed administrative actions, so I just showed it. by Buehl106 ·Talk·e-mail 23:15, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) I don't see any real reason to oppose this request. Buehl is active on many Japanese wikis and I have seen them in action much though I haven't had much interaction with him. I'm sure that he'll be a net positive to the team and so I am I supporting this request.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 23:37, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 2) Kind and active user, have no concerns regarding the user. Although I haven't really seen the Japanese wiki CVT work, I still believe that with the above, Beuhl is definitely a great fit for the team; as such I (strongly) support this. --  Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 00:53, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 3)  I am not fully convinced that the candidate fully understands that their role is solely focused on rollback as well as the fact that global interference should not take precedence over local action. The group being a minor one however it seems acceptable to support this request and the candidate seems to be relatively trustworthy. --DeeM28 (talk) 10:35, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 4) As Agent Isai and others have stated, active user on foreign language wikis, understands the permissions they're requested. No reason to oppose. BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 16:09, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 5) Buehl has shown themselves to be helpful in their efforts with our underserved Japanese-language wiki communities.  I believe that they have strong potential to become an invaluable CVT member and this is a great first step towards that. --NotAracham (talk • contribs • global) 20:08, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 6)  Buehl is not limited to Miraheze, and has cleaned up many abuse on the Japanese wiki, and his activities are very reliable.--Funa-enpitu（talk/Posting Record） 06:57, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Bukkit's Request for Global Rollbacker

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * . Given the fact that I just recently came back from a wikibreak, I (and other users) feel like I need some more time before I re-request more rights. As such, I am withdrawing the request, and will spend time engaging in community work and others before a new request. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 21:17, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Reason(s) for request
Hello! I am requesting this right as a way to boost my CVT experience with a more hands-on “training”, as well as helping wikis with vandals. And although I just recently returned from a wiki-break, I believe that I now have enough time on my hands to contribute once more on Miraheze. I stalk the #miraheze-cvt-feed (cvt-feed/cvt-feed-experimental on Discord) frequently. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 14:23, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Questions for candidate

 * 1) What would you say that you bring to the team? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 15:33, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I believe that I can bring diplomatic relations with the users and the existing CVT team. I also believe that I can help some of the vandalistic edits that I catch on the #miraheze-cvt-feed. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 20:29, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Do you currently edit on any wikis? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 15:33, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The only wiki I am editing currently is Memipedia, although not that much. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 20:29, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) You have been largely inactive for a while until a few days ago. If elected, do you foresee yourself remaining active in the near future? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 15:33, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, ever since I focused more on my health issues, I’ve been able to edit and do more things for an extended period of time without burnout. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 20:29, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) You previously served as wiki creator and global interwiki administrator; however, you only served in both roles for around 40 days before resigning. If elected, would you commit time to the role and stay on for longer than just a month? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 15:33, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yep. I have more time on my hands since the wiki-break, and am ready to again volunteer.
 * 1) You were revoked over a year ago from patroller for vandalistic edits and from local IP block exemption for sockpuppetry. I have re-granted you patroller as time has passed since those incidents and I trust you have matured, as demonstrated by the fact that you were successfully elected to wiki creator and interwiki administrator. However, can you assure the community that you won't engage in such behaviors going forward? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 15:33, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Ever since my wiki-break, I believe that I have matured from the past, and will not violate any policies. If such an incident does happen again, I will resign from my positions to preserve the integrity of the CVT team. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 20:29, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Abstain

 * 1)  I will change this to a support if you resume activity for a longer period, per BrandonWM. Collei (talk) 19:02, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) I have a concern supporting this request. My reservation is in relation to your activity. You have been inactive until a few days ago, so to return and request a global right a few days later is slightly out of the ordinary. You have earned back the community's trust after that sockpuppetry issue, but when you requested wiki creator and global interwiki admin, you resigned quickly after. I would like to see some more continued, consistent activity before you request this right again. I believe you can and will do great with the right, but your activity needs to be consistent in order for me to be in support.
