 * Closing per User close policy. Zcook1052, you are encouraged to contribute more to Miraheze Meta before requesting permissions. Administrator is a very very big responsibility and before many get here, administrators at one point were first autopatrolled, then patrollers, translation administrators, rollbackers, and helped the community out in many ways. If you want to help the community, check out Contributing and in the future, perhaps you'll reach administrator and higher. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 16:57, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Group: Administrator Reason: I would like to help Miraheze and help users here on Meta, I can handle a converation with users in English.

Other users feel free to support/oppose/abstain from this RfP but please state your reasoning below.


 * 1) While you have a decent amount of contributions, I would say to keep contributing for a bit as you haven't been as active on meta recently. ZeusDeeGoose (talk) 20:15, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Same opinion.Maybe,you don't have making edits to become administrator here. by Buel ·Talk·Wikimail 00:00, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 3)   You are inactive and only have about 63 edits. I recommend going back to edit more and help users on noticeboards, and then redo the request as it has made good edits. Greetings. —  Pixial  [Talk] 13:31, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Matttest (Wiki creator) (2)

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * As per the opposes’ concern, but especially ‘s argument. The concerns raised in the discussions are reasonable and thoughtful. I’ll admit that it’s too quick (only half a month) to start another RfP when my previous request have been rejected by the community, and yet the unbooks’ dispute is not fully resolved. The controversy of impersonation on testwiki.wiki, which is pointed out by, is also affecting the trust to me. Based on all these above, I am withdrawing this request, though I will not be leaving miraheze/retiring, but rather putting my effort into resolving the unbooks’ dispute with stewards assistance, and engaging more in different local wiki communities before re-applying, in no sooner than 2-3 months. For the opposes to this request, I’ll sincerely ask for you to re-consider your vote when I apply for WC next time, into giving a second chance for me to volunteer as a wiki creator.

Group: Wiki creator Reason: Greetings, I am Matttest. I am requesting the wiki creator right as the same rationale as last time, when the request was withdrawn because some users stated that (i) when processing with requests, my decision may be affected by the previous disputes (specifically the unbooks’ dispute) I am involved in; (ii) wiki creator needs to adhere code of conduct at a high level, in which I am not quite yet towards the community standard and expectations. I believe the situation have changed - I have been fairly active as a volunteer at the noticeboards, and I have been more calm, no matter during discussions or helping users as of the time being. -Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 09:39, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Questions for candidate

 * 1) Re-attempt of ’s fourth question for my last request: “A wiki request has been put in as “greatmovies.miraheze.org” and with the description “A wiki about great movies.” So you accept, decline, or hold the request for elaboration?”
 * It depends, but most likely I will accept the request with an “okay request” message. I may decline the request if the user who requests the wiki is previously involved in disputes which have not yet been resolved on similar wikis, particularly the Greatest Movies Wiki. -Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 09:43, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

 * 1) Per recent events. --  Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 20:33, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @: While I respect your opinion, the rationale in the vote is quite vague. If you mean the unbooks' dispute to be the "recent event", then I would like to point out that the dispute have already been resting starting from May 2022, at the time when I had been engaging more in Meta-Wiki. Just as I pointed out - I believe the situation have changed. If you mean the "recent event" to be other incidents, I would like a clarification for me (to respond) as well as the community to decide what to vote. Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 01:45, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that was extremely vague. What I meant was the testwiki.wiki incident in which you (assuming so) created impersonation-only accounts. I won't get too in-depth but this makes me not have as much trust compared to the prior WC request. -- Cheers, Bukkit(Public) ( Talk • Contribs ) 02:51, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * (TL;DR: I believe assumes makes not much weight when explaining the vote.)
 * Thanks for the clarification. I have already be knowing this incident for some time, but I wasn't supposed to make my statement regarding this. I believe this is something outside the miraheze platform (it is neither a software that is related to miraheze, i.e. phabricator), so (i) the only similar thing between me and that account is the username (no other signs show that I am that account), which can be easily created by another user; that's why it makes no sense to point this against me; (ii) it won't affect my position as a wiki creator on miraheze. Though, since you comment on it, I think I will make my statement here. The account blocked is not Matttest here on miraheze. The impersonarion should also not be a surprise, especially when I am involved in some conflicts in miraheze. Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 05:42, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Would you, then, consent to Miraheze Stewards contacting TestWiki Stewards and requesting they share CheckUser information so that we can compare it with our own CheckUser results? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:52, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * It is true that Matttest was recently involved in impersonation on TestWiki.wiki (non-miraheze). This is per CU evidence, plus the first time their account was blocked (this had been done incorrectly), they came on IRC requesting to be unblocked. They were cloaked and logged into the account that according to their user-page here is them. This would suggest that the accounts across both wikis are both operated by the same person. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 16:28, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Please get in depth. Impersonation is a serious accusation that deserves maximum spotlight if as recent as indicated. --Raidarr (talk) 10:58, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I'll DM all the details on Discord. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 20:02, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I did some snooping and the conversation here https://fortestwiki.myht.org/index.php/User_talk:ApexAgunomu#Regarding_your_PM_on_IRC might also shed some light on the situation.
 * Now he(Matttest) has autopartrolled rights.It means users don't have to partroll edits he made. by Buel ·Talk·Wikimail 08:13, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * He is not native speaker of English,but he can do many things via advaned level of English. by Buel ·Talk·Wikimail 08:39, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) I'm sure he has lots of knowledge more than various users.He'll make nice edits if he become wiki creator. by Buel ·Talk·Wikimail 23:01, 21 August 2022 (UTC) fix. by Buel ·Talk·Wikimail 23:02, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I may appreciate that the phrase "nice edits" may be a mistranslation but I would suggest that edits have nothing to do with wiki creation and "a lot of knowledge" appears to be a very vague appreciation and ultimately what mostly matters for wiki creators is knowledge of the Content Policy and for the candidate to be able to make determinations as to if a wiki will potentially violate the Content Policy. --DeeM28 (talk) 14:34, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Not misstranslation.I believe he is a man of sober judgment.Actually did he have a problem?I don't thnk so. by Buel ·Talk·Wikimail 23:50, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 1)  per Bukkit
 * 2)  Per Buel. AlPaD (talk) 07:41, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 3)  This request is being made only one month and a half approximately after the initial one was that was rejected by the community. I am not satisfied that the controversial situation has changed since the initial request and am additionally concerned about the additional controversy indicated in the above discussions. These issues make me unable to support such a request as I am not able to trust the candidate enough based on the above. --DeeM28 (talk) 14:34, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Besides opposing, to you as a voter, are there any suggestions for me to apply for wiki creator? I believe I have already demonstrated understanding of the Content Policy and have been volunteering a lot across the miraheze platform. To me, I am deeply frustrated when my request is being opposed numerous times just because of the controversy brought out (and the previous one because of the CoC issue when I am involved in conflict). I think being a wiki creator can gain the community's trust that I have the competency to volunteer out, and as a stepping stone if in the future I can volunteer out in a higher position.
