Request for CVT
I want to express my desire to go and become a member of the Counter Vandalism Team of Miraheze since a larger amount of reports in the CVT discord channel (which is routed to the relevant IRC channel) are dealt with by stewards. I believe I have sufficient knowledge and command of MediaWiki to use pages such as Special:Multilock (place a list of spambot or vandal accounts in the box 1 per line, select lock and insert a good reason) and Special:GlobalBlock (blocks the IP address based on settings there across all of Miraheze, does not apply on meta unless the option on meta is ticked which should only be used with good reason since it will remove the ability of the IP to appeal on meta). I understand that I will have the ability to be able to use a set of limited sysop style rights across all wikis and state that I should only take use my tools when local staff (sysops, bureaucrats and any custom local group that can reasonably be construed as 'local staff') do not respond to vandalism, global or local filters are triggered and are not acted upon within a reasonable period and if a direct request is served to me by a member in good standing with that wiki community asking for help. I can and have shown proficiency in dealing with some sorts of spam by means of this user which I own, control and operate on another wiki.

Questions
1. Will you be active enough as a CVT? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 12:21, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Activity will be no problem. I pledge myself to ensuring that I deal with reports frequently as a reasonable person can expect me to be active. I will however ensure I scan for any CVT work when I log into Miraheze (you can see my wiki creation log for details of the times while I may be active). Time differences with some of the community (e.g. some people sleeping while at the same time I have a large amount of my day ahead of my) may affect your perceptions of this but in the times I am active I will carry out my actions swiftly (even though my activity may have dropped a bit) --Sau226 (talk) 12:50, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

2. What knowledge do you have of AbuseFilters? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 12:21, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I have enough knowledge to write a basic abusefilter and am not sure about potentially more advanced ones (however I'm open to learning about the advanced syntax). I do however possess enough competence with Special:AbuseLog to be able to get the user of an edit and edit text (which is all I need to stop their junk and also why I have a direct link to the Abuse Log on the portlet on the left side of my page while logged in). There's no better way I could put this at present --Sau226 (talk) 12:50, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Seems legit.-- 14:48, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 2) I have seen your diligence firsthand. You tirelessly and faithfully seek to improve Miraheze by reporting and notifying the stewards whenever there is an issue whether it be vandalism or not. I believe you are qualified for this role. &#32;  Miraheze Logo.svg centrist16 | Talk | P mail.svg | Discord color D.svg  &#32; 18:36, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 3) I've seen you report spam in #miraheze-cvt, so being part of the CVT will allow you to be able to fight the spam and vandalism yourself, without needing to ask people to do it. From what you wrote, you also seem to understand what a CVT member does, including not taking actions on wikis where there are local sysops. Reception123  (talk) ('C' ) 07:50, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 4) Wiki1776 (talk) 13:29, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 5) GethN7 (talk) 13:42, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 6) I have come across Sau226 a few times on Wikimedia Foundation sites and elsewhere - although I have never deeply interacted with the user, I think that the demonstrate the skills necessary to be a helpful addition to the CVT team (and I say that as someone who never really was onboard with the creation of CVT in the first place).

 * I have moved the request from stewards' noticeboard to this newly created page.-- 04:51, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Request for CVT for 開拓者
Hi, I would also like to request for CVT as Sau226 did above, because I see there are only five CVT members, and I think we need more members. Here are my strengths. My weakness is probably that I'm just 51 days old here on Miraheze, but I can cover that with my experiences outside Miraheze (You can see that I'm an experienced and trusted user across wikis if you see my user page). Thanks for considering.-- 14:45, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) I understand the policies (including but not limited to CVT) well, considering the fact I've translated most of them into my native language, and that I'm a wiki creator.
 * 2) *I know how and when a CVT should take actions, and I also know that I can monitor global recent changes from #Miraheze-feed IRC channel.
 * 3) I'm an admin and a bureaucrat on a wiki over 1000 articles, and am experienced against fighting vandals (including the experiences before moving my wiki to Miraheze) because there are some terrible cross-wiki LTAs from major Japanese wikis coming into my wikis and other Japanese wikis on Miraheze.
 * 4) I'm familiar with the AbuseFilter, considering the fact that I'm the main editor of them in my wiki.
 * 5) I live in Japan, meaning that I can cover different time zone (UTC+9).
 * 6) I'm quite active on Miraheze wikis. I have more than a 100 edits on four wikis, with a total of over 4500 edits globally (See here). I've visited over 100 wikis, and have an experience of combating vandals on wikis where I don't have additional permissions (this is one of the examples).
 * 7) *I also have the experience of reporting cross-wiki vandals to stewards, as you can see above and possibly in the archives.

Questions
1. Could you provide some examples of some other wikis where you have fought with vandalism in the past? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 07:48, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * It depends on whether my answer should be limited to Miraheze wikis or I can add my experiences outside Miraheze.
 * As for Miraheze, my experiences of fighting vandals was mainly fighting against LTAs coming from my country. Blocking, reverting, hiding illegal contents, reporting vandals' appearances to stewards, and creating pages focusing their typical style of vandal activities on vandalismwiki so that anyone can share (if necessary) were my main activities against them. However, this doesn't mean I've never fought against other vandals, as the example I showed above is the record of me fighting against one of those non-Japanese vandals.
 * If not limited to Miraheze, I've also fought against spammers and LTAs worldwide (and I know there are spammers here on Miraheze, too, though Japanese wikis seem to be relatively free of them so far). I have created an anti-spam filter on former Usopedia (now moved to Miraheze), I have made proposals and comments regarding the abuse filter on English Illogicopedia and Uncyclopedia, and I have fought against vandals editing admins' and bcs' user pages on Unmeta  and Uncyclomedia Commons .-- 10:17, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

2. What would you do if there is a spam page created on Meta Wiki? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 11:46, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Since Meta is clearly opted out from CVT, I should just report it on admin's noticeboard, add delete to mark the page for deletion, and wait for a local admin to deal with it. I should not use the CVT permission on Meta. At least for now.
 * However, situations might change, and if meta were to be opted into CVT list again(?) in the future (I know it's very unlikely, but I should think about any possible situations), I should check whether there are any active admins remaining, or any requests from the local community to seek whether I may take an action, as I should do in other wikis.-- 13:25, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

3. I see that you are a Translation Administrator here. Will you have time to do both that job and this job? --Robkelk (talk) 16:10, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I have already made most of the pages I think is necessary for translation marked for it. The remaining job as a translation admin is, thus, marking for translation on pages when updated or requested, which is not so often. I'm rather busy here on meta as a wiki creator, but since there are more wiki creators than CVTs, I think I still can spend enough time as a CVT at the same time working as a wiki creator and a translation admin.-- 17:00, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Even though you have only been here for nearly two months, your dedication and intimate familiarity with the software and community is commendable and impressive. You raise a valid point about the relatively small number of users available who are able to (and have the time to) combat vandalism and other forms of abuse on here. I am compelled to support you based on your knowledgeability, activity, and dedication. &#32;  Miraheze Logo.svg centrist16 | Talk | P mail.svg | Discord color D.svg  &#32; 18:42, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 2) Yeah! You need to be on the CVT! Vandals, vandalism, and their damage is no joke or laughing matter on this wiki. Vandalism sucks.
 * 3) A great user who moved the whole Usopedia to Miraheze. Also many contributions on meta. As a Japanese wiki user, I am very proud that he is Japanese.--トーダイン (talk) 18:24, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 4) Seems to understand how CVT works, and has experience and knowledge about how to combat vandalism. The language factor is also good, as no other CVT member speaks Japanese. Reception123  (talk) ('C' ) 13:37, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 5) GethN7 (talk) 13:42, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 6) The Pioneer is active almost every day and has shown, time, and time again that they can be trusted. There is a utter lack of things that would make me even consider opposing. All in all, one of the best users that we have. They also seem to understand CVT quite well. Sincerely,   Malcolm Aces! Aces!  22:37, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 7) Trusted User. The Japanese language is also a great advantage. —AlvaroMolina (✉ -  ✔ ) 04:23, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) for now, and I’ll clarify that this is a very weak oppose. My main reason for opposing at this time is the tenure of the user - while I understand that they may be very experienced on and off Miraheze, having only been here for ~50 days is not sufficient for being granted any kind of global permission (IMHO). Additionally, I do not speak or read Japanese, and therefore I cannot navigate my way around the Japanese site that the user linked to above, where they claim they are an admin and bureaucrat. However, this would not be a reason for opposing. If the user had just slightly more tenure here, I would probably be neutral, again since I cannot understand the user’s contributions elsewhere. Amanda Catherine (talk) 14:10, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 2) * I Just wanted to point out that if you look at another link above (this one) you can see that they have 1100+ edits on the wiki they linked where they are a crat (this is all in English) and that they also have 2k+ edits on this wiki where they are already a wiki creator and translation admins. I haven't posted my support or oppose yet but I do think that we need members with advanced permissions that speak multiple languages. How am I to know if a wiki in another language contains vandalism or not? -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 15:41, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Reasoning for request
Hello, everyone. I want to express my desire to become an Interwiki administrator so that I can help with Interwikis requests for MetaWiki or Phabricator.

I am a registered user since May 22, 2017 and have about 5000 global editions [active/live] and almost 500 local editions. I am a Wikicreator since February 2018 and a volunteer at Phabricator (and GitHub) since March 2018. At MetaWiki I have helped with the translations and although it hasn't been much, I have occasionally participated in the Community Noticeboard.

Reasoning for request
Hi, today I come to request the Interwiki Administrator permission as I am willing to help with requests that require addition or removal of interwikis. At some point I have worked with Special:Interwiki on test wikis (external to Miraheze), so I know how to work there.

I know that some will express concerns about the long inactivity I had until a few days ago, however, during these days I am having more free time to spend at least a couple of hours a day between Miraheze and other wikis.

For those who don't know me: I am Wiki Creator, CVT Member and Code of Conduct Commission Member. I still hope to have the confidence of the community to also be able to play this additional role. Thanks. —AlvaroMolina</b> (✉</b> - ✔ ) 23:38, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Reasoning for request
This is something I have always requested for. I remember making Phabricator requests specifically for the purpose of trying to get this feature implemented, but they were closed due to being not feasible at the time. However! The time has come now that being able to edit the interwiki for non-system administrators is actually a thing. I would love to help Miraheze wherever I can. With my function as an extension processor diminished, I would like a new task to complete in my free time. I believe I am a well trusted and well liked member of the Miraheze community, I always help whenever and wherever I can. I am also a CVT member, a wiki creator, I also work on helping wikis get their extensions enabled and so much more!

Reasoning for request
I know we need more interwiki admins. The interwiki links of Uncyclopedias on Miraheze, for example, should be fixed asap, but they're not done so far (as an assigned admin/BC of the forked Japanese Uncyclopedia, I know there are tons of those links in different languages). I can monitor requests made by Japanese wikis as a Japanese native, and check whether I can add the requested links (Please note that there are some Japanese LTAs already creating several wikis; now they might want to request for a spam interwiki link). I'm also a CVT, a wiki creator, and a translation admin, which would be enough to show that I'm trusted on Miraheze.-- 16:15, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

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

Reasoning for request
For those who don't know me, I am Pkbwcgs on publictestwiki and on Wikipedia (confirmation diff here). I have been fighting spambots on publictestwiki for a while and I am an experienced vandal fighter on Wikipedia. I am also a rollbacker on two other wikis (see here). I have been a rollbacker for five and a half months on the English Wikipedia. My experience on fighting vandalism on Wikipedia and blocking spambots on publictestwiki would be vital and useful to join the Counter Vandalism Team. Therefore, I would like to have the global CVT right on my account.

Additional comments given by user (if any)
I am not too active on meta but I am quite active on publictestwiki. Pkbwcgs (talk) 18:03, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, I am quite active in reverting vandalism on English Wikipedia and looking into the abuse log there and reverting. So, despite not being active in reverting vandalism here, I already have enough knowledge in reverting vandalism and I don't what an abuse log is and how to handle vandalism. Therefore, CVT will be useful for me and I will become more active globally and the process to handle vandalism will be faster with both the rollback and block buttons included in the CVT package. Pkbwcgs (talk) 08:12, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, please feel free to ask any questions if you have any below. Pkbwcgs (talk) 08:14, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * There is a lot of vandalism and spam which I can handle in Special:AbuseLog. However, unfortunately I don't have the delete or block buttons so I am unable to despite being capable of handling it with only a delete and a block button globally. Pkbwcgs (talk) 08:48, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I also disagree with the fact that there are enough members in the CVT. There are six members in the CVT and four stewards. That is not enough. I will be active on the CVT and there are more than 3,050 wikis and only ten users for CVT (including stewards). Pkbwcgs (talk) 09:28, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, if the issue is about global contributions. I do agree that I don't have many (under 200) but my knowledge of reverting and handling vandalism on English Wikipedia should be enough to be able to do things correctly with the CVT tools. Pkbwcgs (talk) 11:03, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, the way it is looking, I will probably have to withdraw this because I don't think I will receive any supports despite being extremely active in reverting vandalism on English Wikipedia and having good knowledge of handling vandalism. However, I won't give up yet and I won't withdraw just yet. Pkbwcgs (talk) 11:06, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I am looking to withdraw soon (the chances of this succeeding is certainly 0 %) but I would like to know what is the next step and what global permits can I gain to help out Miraheze as much as I can. At the moment, I am not feeling optimistic about the way this is going but I am not going to withdraw just yet. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:13, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I blocked a spammer at publictestwiki today at . If I had CVT globally, I would be able to help Miraheze and be able to do this globally as well. Pkbwcgs (talk) 18:28, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I have withdrawn and then reverted it because I had a bit more confidence now I have more than 200 global edits. Pkbwcgs (talk) 12:41, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I have no more arguments to put down so if nothing turns around, I will withdraw tomorrow on Saturday. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:49, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I have more than 250 global edits so surely I am fulfilling other's expectations. I have addressed everyone's opposes so surely I am ready to become a member of CVT. I have made more reports of spam on the steward's noticeboard today. Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:47, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Comments by other users

 * What people are trying to say is - They want to see you have more of a public presence on the Meta Wiki and interact with the community on a daily/weekly basis. By participating in RFC, helping users on the noticeboards, reporting spam and so much more. While your contributions to other sites are exemplary and do stand to you, I believe what people are looking for is a larger presence, one that is positive. A goal that I believe you can achieve based off your help elsewhere. &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  16:56, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for you comment. I have a few diffs that show that I reported spam on meta. Here, I attempted to report spam but I reverted my edit here. However, I still reported it here and I got a response. I managed to get a response and a steward locked hundreds of spambots. I reported spam before but only once. However, I want to handle spam myself which is why I requested this right. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:18, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Abstain

 * Not much interaction with this user. If other members of the community can vouch for them, I may reconsider. &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  18:23, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Wiki1776 (talk) 22:10, 28 August 2018 (UTC) I would like to see more activity before I vote in favour.

Oppose

 * 1)  Being active on publictestwiki is not adequate by my standards, since vandalism on publictestwiki tends to be less than on other wikis, and the threshold for being granted admin/bureaucrat there is extremely low. Additionally, the user only has just under 200 edits globally across Miraheze, including the majority of those being to publictestwiki. Finally, the user does not hold any sysop-like permissions (doesn’t really hold any permissions at all for that matter) on any wikis other than publictestwiki and their own wiki. Amanda Catherine (talk) 20:33, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I have both the rollback and block buttons on publictestwiki so I am able to respond to and combat vandalism. Perhaps, if I had those buttons globally then I can combat vandalism globally. Secondly, is exactly 25,861 edits on English Wikipedia and 224 reports to their vandalism reporting page not "adequate"? The problem with the users who are opposing is that they haven't checked my contributions on Wikipedia and the amount of vandalism I have reverted over there. The threshold of being granted rollback on Wikipedia is a lot. Yes, I agree that I don't have enough global contributions on Miraheze but I have plenty of experience in reverting vandalism on Wikipedia. That is sufficient. Pkbwcgs (talk) 12:51, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, you are mistaken. Contributions on Wikipedia or any other Wikimedia Foundation project for that matter do not directly influence any operations here at Miraheze, since Miraheze is not directly affiliated with the WMF. Amanda Catherine (talk) 14:44, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, Wikipedia has nothing to do with Miraheze. Still, why can't Wikipedia edits be taken into consideration as it is the same thing which is reverting vandalism. I am unfortunate to not have the rollback button, block button or delete button globally on Miraheze so I am unable to help out in handling vandalism without any of those. Also, why can't I be trusted with a post like CVT? Pkbwcgs (talk) 15:08, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * So, I only wanted to help out with handling vandalism globally on Miraheze and I got four opposes. This is going nowhere. What is the next step? Pkbwcgs (talk) 15:22, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you feel this is going nowhere and you have already utilized every argument, counter argument and whatnot and people still won't budge, I would recommend you withdraw this request and apply for wiki creator. Wiki creator is a job that many people will have no issue entrusting with willing people. From there, build your presence as a helpful user. &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  16:02, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your helpful advice. However, I have one more argument to make and I don't think I have utilized every counter argument. There is a user who has only a few more global edits than me and has CVT permissions. They also said in their request that they hold advanced permissions like rollback on enwiki in their request (I also hold advanced permissions on enwiki). I said before that I have over 26,000 edits but globally, I have more than 38,000 edits. They also said that they hold sysop and bureaucrat on publictestwiki (I do too but it is not too difficult to gain perms on publictestwiki so I will put that aside). They said they operate two bots which is what I don't do. However, I blocked spambots on publictestwiki and reported spam on the administrators noticeboard recently and to the steward's noticeboard a few months ago. I don't use IRC because I am afraid that my IP address will be revealed to the public and I don't want that to happen. I don't use e-mail because I do not wish to use it for security reasons. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:46, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the massive reply as well. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:48, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
 * 1)  not enough interaction in the global aspect of the community as far as I know, we also have enough CVT members at this time (in my opinion). I suggest reapplying when you've done more interactions on Meta itself or in some way that will be for a lack of a better word, impactful, on the global miraheze community. Zppix (Meta | CVT Member | talk to me) 21:56, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * 2)  I do think there should be more CVT members (mainly because not all of them are always active). However, I don't think the user has enough global contributions, and thus cannot support him/her.-- 10:58, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Is lots of global contributions really required when I have almost 26,000 edits on English Wikipedia and heaps of experience reverting and handling vandalism over there? Pkbwcgs (talk) 12:51, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is a completely different wiki. I may consider your contributions there, but only if you have enough contributions on Miraheze. Additionally, I'm rather reluctant to consider contributions on any Wikimedia projects, because I don't even have an account there.-- 13:08, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is a very big Wiki. If I am handling a lot of vandalism there, then there should be not concern here. Wikipedia see loads of vandalism daily. Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:16, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but I also know a Steward on Wikimedia has an account here, and even if you were him/her, I would cast the same vote. Contributions on Wikipedia can have different meanings; it could mean you're in fact capable, but it could also mean you're too busy working on Wikipedia to work on Miraheze.-- 13:35, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I can handle vandalism globally on Miraheze if I have at the block, rollback and delete buttons but I don't have the block and delete buttons and I don't even have rollback globally. This is why I am requesting to join the CVT. I can help out and I am willing to help out and I have the knowledge to handle vandalism. By saying that I don't have enough global contributions on Miraheze, it is letting me down. I have the rollback buttons on Wikipedia which is why I am able to help out in handling vandalism over there. What is the problem if I want to help out handle vandalism here? Yes, I am most of the time busy at Wikipedia reverting vandalism. However, if I have these button globally on Miraheze, I can spread out my time evenly and help out on both Miraheze and Wikipedia. Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:53, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Then you should show that on Miraheze. Maybe it's a good idea to start from working as a wiki creator to show what you can do here (not on Wikipedia).-- 14:05, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I have requested the Wiki creator at Community noticeboard. Thanks. Pkbwcgs (talk) 14:17, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * 1)  the user should be more active on other wikis instead of only test wiki, the user needs more contributions and trust on this project  Psl631  (Let's Chat!) 15:12, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * If you look into, you will see that I am not just active on publictestwiki. Also, I don't know what is the problem with trust as I have done nothing wrong on Miraheze. Pkbwcgs (talk) 15:33, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd just like to point out that "trust" doesn't mean you've done something wrong, it means that you've just not been around enough for users to be sure that you are trustworthy to be a CVT member. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 05:53, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
 * 1)  A large amount of issues, including little interwiki activity - Wikipedia is very different from Miraheze. If the user shows a large amount of interwiki activity, then I might support.   Malcolm Aces! Aces!  22:33, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * 2)  Wikimedia/Wikipedia ≠ Miraheze. You need to get more involved in the global community of Miraheze and in the tasks that are done daily before obtaining any community permission like this. Contributing only to PublicTestWiki and your own wiki is not enough to be considered an trusted user in the global Miraheze community. Regards. —AlvaroMolina</b> (✉</b> -  ✔ ) 00:26, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comment. However, there is a user with almost the same number the same number of global edits who has this global permission. Why can't I obtain this permission. Pkbwcgs (talk) 06:58, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * 1)  Per the reasons already provided by fellow colleagues. &#32;  Miraheze Logo.svg centrist16 | P mail.svg | Discord color D.svg  &#32; 00:39, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Pkbwcgs's Request for CVT (Second request)
<div class="boilerplate metadata discussion-archived" style="background-color: #F2F4FC; margin: 2em 0 0 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px solid #aaa">

 * Unsucessful. John (talk) 00:38, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

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

Reasoning for request
I would like to be a CVT member because I feel I have been more active and have more experience than in my previous request. I have over 500 global edits and I have adopted one medium-sized wiki very recently. I have also served as a Wiki Creator for over a month and in my time, I have created eight Wikis. I have also declined many Wiki requests including requests from LTA accounts as part of combating vandalism. I will not ramble on about Wikipedia experience because I have been told in my last request that Wikipedia experience has nothing to do with Miraheze as Miraheze is completely different to Wikipedia. Also, I noticed that there haven't been many CVT members active recently and I am going to be active with CVT as I will check Special:AbuseLog everyday and globally lock spambots and vandalism-only accounts. I believe that with the experience I have, I can become an active and helpful CVT member for Miraheze. Pkbwcgs (talk) 18:01, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Additional comments given by user (if any)
As I have indicated above, this is my second request for CVT. I have waited one month and a half after the first one. Pkbwcgs (talk) 18:01, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Is there any response? I have waited almost five days. Pkbwcgs (talk) 10:30, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, I have made multiple reports of spam recently. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:01, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Over two weeks with no response. Pkbwcgs (talk) 07:49, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think impatience and complaining will help this request. It just seems like the community for some reason has not seen it. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 11:17, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Personally, I don't know this user well (for the username) and since lately I have not been able to be constantly active here in Miraheze, I have not been able to analyze their contributions in depth, so I could not make a judgment, anyway, I agree that lately these types of requests usually go unnoticed (something similar happened to me with another request) and if there are no answers, it is best to leave a message in the Community noticeboard. Regards. —AlvaroMolina</b> (✉</b> - ✔ ) 00:16, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree. My request probably hasn't been noticed by the community yet. That's okay. I can wait but it is almost three weeks. Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:36, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Comments by other users

 * If people do not see this request, there is no harm in asking people to review it - especially notable and well versed people within the community who have taken part in RfC's etc. before. If after that nobody replies, you may want to consider pulling the request as sometimes, the community just won't gravitate towards requests :) &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  21:09, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Abstain

 * 1) Since I don't really know this user well.-- 09:55, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Oppose

 * Oppose - Given the person's persistent requests for user rights over the past year. Artix Kreiger (talk) 13:39, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
