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

Reason(s) for request
After discussion w/ others who are either former or current inter-wiki administrators about responsibilities for the role, I see both a need to ensure redundancy in folks able to serve in this capacity as well as a good match for my background/skillset. To that end, I'd like to humbly put forward my name in consideration for the IWA role. I am open and willing to answer all questions within reason.

Please see comments for additional details regarding my CV/background/relevant skills. While this is a less-lengthy statement than my application for Wiki Creator, I'd like to give greater space for my answers to community questions to guide decision-making.

Additional comments given by user (if any)
CV Details:
 * Active member in good standing (and serving as a moderator) of the Miraheze discord community, where the majority of interwiki requests take place at present
 * Since appointment to Wiki Creator on 5 November 2022, I have diligently served in this role, taking ~950 decline or approve actions over this time for a daily average of 17 request actions.
 * Miraheze Member since August 2022
 * Prior to my time with Miraheze, I served as administrator to a RadioShack customer support forum, among which my duties included weeding out spam links from users.

 * Just for the record, here are the prerequisites for requesting the GIWA role;
 * Prerequisite 1: Have at least 500 total global edits on Miraheze (on more than one wiki); Yes_check.svg PASSED
 * Prerequisite 2: Have had their Miraheze account for at least 2 months; Yes_check.svg PASSED
 * Prerequisite 3: Be involved in some way in community matters (in discussions on Community Noticeboard, etc.) Yes_check.svg PASSED

Support

 * 1)  I am the only GIwA now actively responding to requests, thus that's one of the reasons I'm in favour of this request; Other admins includes Doug who isn't active, Agent Isai who is a steward that is so busy attending to stewards' requests, and UO who is superbusy with the current technical situation on ground being a member of SRE. NotAracham is a wiki creator, and since we have a sizable number of wiki creators who actively respond to requests, I don't think they will find this duty to be an undue strain. With them on ground, I believe requests for interwiki table configurations wouldn't take longer than it takes currently. --   Joseph  TB  CT  CA   13:53, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 2)  NotAracham has been extremely helpful so far and demonstrated they can be trusted. I have no doubt they can carry out the role effectively. Our multiple previous experiences with granting rights to fairly new users gives me caution but I see no reason to cast doubt here. I hope 2023 brings a fantastic new volunteer to the advanced rights team.  ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  21:01, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 3)  No issues with this at all. Zppix (Meta &#124; talk to me) 21:05, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 4)  From my interactions with NotAracham, both off-wiki and on, they have acted in the utmost manner of respect and professionalism. I hold NotAracham in only the highest regard. I believe they will be an excellent addition to the interwiki administrator team. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 10:26, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 5) Very trusted user. by Buel ·Talk·e-mail 15:53, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 6)  This is without a doubt, a very easy support for me. I have zero issues at all with this request, and they are trusted user. Universal Omega (talk) 05:45, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 7)  I completely agree. NotAracham is a very reliable user.--1108-Kiju /Talk  09:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 8)  per above --Blad  (talk • contribs • global) 12:42, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 9)  Trusted user. No issue with this.
 * 10) ez support. User was successfully nominated to the WC role by a Steward, and has since shown good judgement and the ability to defer to other people when in doubt. Will do a fine job. OrangeStar (talk) 20:06, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

HeyTürkiye's Request for Global sysop

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Notice of withdrawal: Normally I was thinking of not closing this Global Sysop request, but after the decisions change, this page may turn from white to purple unfortunately or turn a red, you will always get it, whatever your success. I would like to thank the users who gave weak resistance, they helped to change my mind, to improve me. Normally I want to undertake important user groups that help Miraheze develop, I want to do this wholeheartedly, I feel competent, but unfortunately some users think that I have applied poorly and late. These users have a good time. Because when you give a comment to a user, the referrer focuses on him and continues to do so. Sometimes, unfortunately, due to a person's life, he can change his decision in the clearest way, and I am one of them. Unfortunately, I have received important and information about my academic life and 750 changes will be delayed due to important information, Hey Turkey will not be able to serve the users and will be sad :( came and it means that I will not be able to nominate and contribute until July 2023, Thank you to the users who voted, gave me their opinions, said your application is a bit early, I will consider this in the next application and I have decided to withdraw my application. See you on the application, then maybe I can satisfy you 😊  Hey Türkiye  message? 15:13, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

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

Reason(s) for request
Hello Dear Miraheze Community, I am HeyTürkiye. As you know, this is my second application and I tried to focus on inexperienced subjects by realizing that I was doing some hat hunting in my first application and realizing that I was inexperienced. As you know, the number of Global Administrators is very small and consists of users who have the trust of the community. I know how difficult it is to have Global Admin rights, dealing with CVT requests, troubleshooting users, dealing with Vandalism, protecting pages when necessary is a bit of a challenge. Around 3200 I have Admin (sysop) rights on Feign Game Wiki (feignwiki) and have used administrator tools on wikis I own. My diary on Feign Game Wiki can be found here. My Usergroups. In general, I try to send requests to the help channel on the Discord server, be active in the chat channel, send interwiki requests, see information about cvt and often try to help users in chat. I usually write comments to RfCs, actively trying to implement my views. I am an experienced person who understands vandalism and the concepts of vandalism very well. I have read and accept the Global Sysop agreement. Whether the result is unsuccessful or successful, I wish the best for Miraheze.  Hey Türkiye  message? 18:29, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * In addition: As with any other application, I am happy to answer your questions. be it a positive or negative answer. I will continue to deal with inexperienced subjects by not reducing my motivation.  Hey Türkiye  message? 18:33, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Additional comments given by user (if any)
CV Details:
 * More than 4000 contributions on Feign Game Wiki and its wikis More than 1000 administrator actions
 * Member of Miraheze since September 2021
 * I have experience writing an active article in Wikimedia projects and against vandalism. (since 2020)
 * Active participation and comments on Discord and RfC

Questions for candidate

 * 1) What would you do if an account by the name of "Miraheze1111" was to be created? Violation of the Username Policy, or no? Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 07:23, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
 * First of all, thank you @BrandonWM for the problem, the Miraheze1111 username is of course against the Username policy and I will warn the user about changing the user's name from Global Name change requests.  Hey Türkiye  message? 07:58, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) How would you implement CVT decisions as a global sysop? Under what circumstances would you act alone, and under what circumstances would you seek input from other Global Sysops and Stewards before executing a decision? Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 07:23, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
 * First, to implement my own CVT decisions, I first look at how Vandalism is done, return pages for (undoes, page dumps, obscene content, etc.), then it depends on user preference (or Vandalism done eg: this user He vandalized 10 times in 1 week, this page should be protected) I will protect the page for a certain period of time. or I ask my colleague (CVT personnel) about what I will do from difficult tasks and I apply the necessary procedures and give the printout to the CVT personnel.  Hey Türkiye  message? 08:10, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Additional answer: Page protection, undo, etc. when I'm alone. I perform my global maid work under conditions.  Hey Türkiye  message? 08:13, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Weak support.I've trusted him/her for a long time.However I still have a little fear. by Buehl106 ·Talk·e-mail 12:23, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for voting, first of all I will ask you; Can you tell me your fears? If you tell me your fears, it will make a great contribution to your own development and I will take your writing into consideration. I will be glad if you tell me your fears again, good luck, have a nice day  Hey Türkiye  message? 14:30, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * The "fear" is what seems you don't have enough experience here,meta.Of course I know you've fought vandal and spam on other wikis many times.but it has no relation to activity on meta.Good luck.Thank you. by Buehl106 ·Talk·e-mail 14:43, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Opposing as WP:NOTQUITEYET.  While this user has good intentions in their interactions I've witnessed, GSysOp is a globally-facing countervandalism role that requires both precision and strong language context in the pursuit of countervandalism activities.  There's been enough recent instances of lost context leading to misunderstandings in discussions on discord and elsewhere that I'm not yet comfortable granting my support, though this user is absolutely trending in the correct direction. --NotAracham (talk • contribs • global) 00:02, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your vote, but you know that we have a term called vandalism and it has always been seen as the right behavior for Miraheze, our users who will fight against vandalism. This has nothing to do with certainty, you can be certain about what kind of Vandalism is, general certainty does not benefit you or me, it is useful in blocking users who are vandalism. If you're saying it's a little early then, I say oh okay.  Hey Türkiye  message? 04:25, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) I have to oppose under the same reasoning as, unfortunately. While your answers to my questions were for the most part satisfactory, I think it’s a bit too early for Global Sysop. You’ve only made 350 or so edits on Meta as well, so I’d like to see that count jump at least to 750ish before requesting again. However, I must say I like what I see on your helpfulness with community matters, and if your work there keeps up, I would probably be more than happy to support a future request. As NotAracham said above, you’re absolutely trending in the right direction, you just need to go a bit farther. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 05:52, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you BrandonWM for the game. I know it's a little late, but to make 750 edits, there must be a lot of variety in Meta. I've put a lot of effort into making 350 edits and I guess it's impossible for me to be a little 750, but I'll go in that direction, I'll reapply for the 750th contribution. Thanks for the advice.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:14, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * In addition: I think there was some translation error, I just took a screenshot. I will start the work tomorrow on at least 750 contributions and helping the community, Thanks again for your suggestion.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:29, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 1)  Sorry I'm late. But there's a lot of work to be done if this guy wants this type of permission, no offense. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 12:31, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your vote. Please, I have a question: You said there is a lot of work to be done, no offense, what do you mean by a lot of things to do? I know that Global Sysop authorization is difficult, and I think I can get through this. (Sorry for being rude)  Hey Türkiye  message? 14:24, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) per above --Blad  (talk • contribs • global) 13:07, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for voting, I will apply what users say despite what is written above. Thanks for joining other users' comments and giving me a +1 for working on that topic.  Hey Türkiye  message? 14:27, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

BrandonWM's Nomination for Interwiki Administrator

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

Declined nomination, and thank HeyTürkiye immensely for considering me. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 00:03, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

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

Reason(s) for request
(NOTE: The user who created this nomination has nominated someone else.) BrandonWM, As you know, he is one of the people who share his views with us, I see often in RfC, and I see on Discord platform. His help at Miraheze is enormous. which is appropriate, which is inappropriate, etc. explains and presents to users. Due to the increase in Interviki requests these days (we often come across requests on the Boards, they come from the discord platform) and I believe that it will do this task as well. I hope he accepts the candidacy and writes the acceptance statement below. Hope the result will be good for Miraheze...  Hey Türkiye  message? 16:40, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Additional Information: If accepts the nomination, I would like to express my support.  Hey Türkiye  message?  16:47, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Note from candidate: I am honored to be nominated for the position of interwiki administrator. It is a goal of mine that I hope to achieve one day. However, I will have to politely decline the nomination for the position as I am confident in the current team of interwiki administrators that we have, and I feel it’s not the time yet for me to run for this role. Again, I am honored to be nominated, but as of right now it’s not my time. Thank you to all current and past interwiki administrators for all the work you’ve done, are doing, and will continue to do in order to improve Miraheze. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 23:59, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Comments by other users

 * 1)  As a general note, unless I am missing something I don't see such a large number of interwiki requests on Discord or on-wiki as is suggested here (there was also this discussion in a recently closed RfC. The nomination makes it seem like there's a very large number of requests on Discord which aren't handled, which isn't really the case. There's also four active users who are currently interwiki admins and who quickly deal with requests. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 21:12, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

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

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)

 * 1)  This is the second request for Global Sysop in a little over a month.

Raidarr'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 ) 18:45, 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)

 * 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)

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)

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)

 * 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)
