Shaunak Chakraborty's Nomination for Interwiki admin
User: Shaunak Chakraborty ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reasoning for nomination
Hi, I'd like to nominate Shaunak Chakraborty for an interwiki admin.

According to the policy, the user is a validate candidate with over 1000 global edits and more than two months old. The problem with the user might be lack of contributions here on Meta, but hosting dozens of Gyaanipedia is, IMO, a great involvement to Miraheze community (as a whole), making him/her a good candidate.

However, it's not the only reason I make this nomination. The requests for mutual interwiki links among Gyaanipedias made by this user is increasing in a quadratic manner, making it a harder work for other volunteers to follow all the requests, and I think it will continue even more. Thus, I come to think that it's best for the user to let him/her work on it by him/herself.

I already have the user's agreement on this nomination on his/her talk page.-- 08:11, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Eligibility

 * Have at least 1000 total global edits on Miraheze (on more than one wiki) (Note: These edits may not consist of directly copy/pasting content from other wikis, they must be edits done by the user) ✅ 1617 global edits


 * Have had their Miraheze account for at least 2 months ✅ 2 months


 * Be involved in some way in community matters (in discussions on Community Noticeboard, etc.)

Comments from the nominated user
Please approve this request so that I can do my work on my own. The problem is mentioned above. Shaunak Chakraborty (talk)

Questions for candidate

 * I do support you, but here's a simple question. If you know your problem by yourself, why not try solving it? You can easily make hundreds edits on Meta by translation works by simply translating Miraheze into multiple languages you can use, for example, and it's never too late for you while this nomination is ongoing.-- 01:13, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

I want to do my work on my own because it is a massive work, I can do it more faster as Miraheze volunteers have other works also. Shaunak Chakraborty (talk)
 * Well, I understand that, but that's not the answer to my question. What I asked is the reason you don't make contributions here on meta though you know that's what you need to make this request successful.-- 05:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Comments by other users

 * I'm not sure I see anything wrong with this, but if Shaunak Chakraborty is only going to be modifying the table on their wikis, perhaps it would be better to just give access on those projects? -- Void  Whispers 00:29, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, it looks like so to me, too, and maybe it's the best solution, but is it possible?-- 01:59, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) As the nominator.-- 08:11, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) I think that he is extremely active over the days when I was around. I also think that the nominator is like...very good at nominating users to become important rights. Lego Mas ter  Send me a message!    11:21, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Additional comments given by user (if any)

 * Hi,I from in taiwan, i want to become chinese staff, thanks.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 09:32, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Questions for candidate

 * In your own words, what do the duties of CVT entail? Zppix (Meta | CVT Member | talk to me) 14:19, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Comments by other users

 * I have filled out the role and formatted this section (based on the comments made on my talk page). I thank you for your willingness to help us, but you should at least try to post things in a proper format. While I understand that we need more Chinese volunteers, I need to see what you would like to do if your request goes successfully before casting a vote.-- 09:50, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Oppose

 * Strong Oppose until the user answers my question above, I oppose this as CVT is pretty full as is, and i've not heard of this user until this request. Zppix (Meta | CVT Member | talk to me) 12:38, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * While I think it's great to have staff from different countries, based on previous interactions with the user, I do not think that they have a good enough understanding of English to be able to be an effective CVT, and to be able to effectively communicate with other staff/stewards/CVT members. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 06:42, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * per above MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 16:48, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose per the comment above. LegoMaster (talk - contribs - logs - uploads - global contribs) 00:13, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Strong "i want help manage miraheze chinese transaction" means translator permissions, or Translator Admin, not CVT.

黑底屍's Request for Interwiki-admin (nomination)
User: 黑底屍 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reasoning for request
I would like to nominate 黑底屍 as an interwiki-admin. Similar to the previous case of Shaunak Chakraborty (the founder of the Gyaanipedia group), the user's edit is mainly focused on Uncyclopedia and related projects.

However, s/he has over 30k edits across Miraheze (double the edits I myself have done), with hundreds of edits on the Polish and the Italian (though not counted on CA) Uncyclopedias, making him/her literally a "global" contributor (at least, on Uncyclopedia-related wikis).

As s/he manages as many as five Chinese Uncyclomedia wikis, "local" interwiki-admin permission would not be enough for him (even if the proposal on current RfC passes).

Furthermore, I have been asked by him/her on my talk page on the Chinese Uncyclopedia several times that s/he would like to handle interwiki prefixes by him/herself, and I, too, think s/he is a good enough candidate for it. Thus, I would like to nominate him/her as an interwiki-admin.-- 00:13, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Revocation of MacFan4000's as CVT
User: MacFan4000 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reasoning for request
Since 22 May, after sysadmins took away his sysadmin permissions because of a investigation according to the logs MacFan4000 has not had any edits or any actions on Miraheze at all. There is no CVT inactivity policy I think, and after that incident and because of his complete inactivity I don't think he can be trusted with these rights anymore or that he will use them anyway. --DeeM28 (talk) 18:15, 8 August 2019‎

Comments by other users

 * I believe that the removal of MacFan's sysadmin rights was at least partly as a result of this incident, although there could have been other private factors as well. Amanda Catherine (talk) 21:43, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Unsuccessful -- Void  Whispers 18:54, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

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

Reasoning for request
Hi,

I have previously been an active member of Miraheze community and a very long date member. I would like to help more by becoming a CVT member in order to help counter vandalism and patrol with more action possible.

Additional comments given by user (if any)
I hope this would be accepted, and don't hesitate to put questions to me.

Qs from RhinosF1

 * 1) Have you had any other Miraheze accounts at any time?
 * 2) What sort of methods would you use to track global changes?

Answers

1) No, this is my only account. 2) I usually use IRC and Discord to keep track of changes, but an adaptation of LiveRC for global lists may also be possible (and I would be able to use Special:AbuseLog)! I leave this to open interpretation. --

PaperClip's (former PapercutsExist) Request for Interwiki administrator
User: PaperClip ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reasoning for request
Hi, today I come to request the Interwiki Administrator permission. So according to the Interwiki page, the user is a validate candidate with over 1000 global edits and more than two months old. Right now I have 1,257 global edits right now and my account is two (or more) months old since May. I do not have any global rights. I was gonna add Local interwiki prefixes and Interlanguage prefixes on both Idiotpedia and Imbécilepedia (both of the wikis) including fr, en, youtube, and rika. I was gonna add Interwikis for Rikapedia and Rikapedia Fanon too like fanon, rika, and epikrika. Its similar to the previous case of Shaunak Chakraborty's and 黑底屍's case. And that not all I was gonna put interwiki local on reception wikis like on Atrocious YouTubers Wiki, Amazing YouTubers Wiki, etc. and plus the process of putting interwikis on Глупаяпедия (Stupidpedia) isn't done yet althought it is being requested. I seem to be running a decent community and the ability to do my own interwikis and also assisting other people in their interwiki requests would be helpful. :)

Reasoning for request
I wish to help more people to make sure people get fairer comeuppances. Because giving fairer comeuppances is what makes bans more reasonable, and it will help make other admins learn more about how to manage bans. I also wish to further make people feel better about when they feel safer around strict rules.

Sourav Halder's Request for Interwiki administrator

Questions for candidate

 * Interwiki admin isn't given because you hit the criteria. It's given out because you've shown trust and requested interwikis often and are able to help users with adding interwikis. Can you explain what you would do with the access and why we should give you it?  ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  22:18, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Here is the reason why I would be Interwiki administrators
 * 1) If there is no local  Administrator present on the wiki, I will request a community notice board to change the interwiki.
 * 2) When I went to edit any wiki after becoming Administrator for Interwiki administrators, I was able to prevent it from being destroyed here.
 * 3) We help develop the global wiki.

 * 3) Not only to mention that either way I wouldn't see enough qualification for this role (not enough community interaction) but the abusing multiple accounts shows me that this user should definitely not be given any advanced rights. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 18:46, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Reception123's Request for Global Sysop
User: Reception123 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reasoning for request
As per the new RfC that just passed, former CVT members are required to have a confirmation vote in order to be transitioned to the Global Sysop role. I have been a member of the Counter Vandalism Team since 7 March 2017 and I would like to continue my work fighting vandalism and cross-wiki spam, but also with the new scope of Global Sysop I will be able to help the community more and also help Stewards. I'm active on Meta and regularly check abuse logs and IRC feeds as well as noticeboards to deal with user complaints, and if I am confirmed as Global sysop I will continue to do so, as well as support different communities on Miraheze.
