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.

 * 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)

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)
