Reception123 (Bureaucrat)

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Successful. John (talk) 14:11, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

User: Reception123 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Bureaucrat Reason: Reception123 needs little introduction, as one of the early system administrators, a current Global Sysop, and one of one of the two longest currently serving, community elected Code of Conduct Commission commissioners. Currently, Meta only has the two founding bureaucrats, John and Southparkfan, both of whom hold multiple roles as either a steward and lead Site Reliability Engineer, in John's case, or as the director of the system administrators and technical team-nominated board director, in Southparkfan's case. Given Reception123's level of activity on Meta, which is currently not outpaced by any other Meta user, he should be able to ensure local Meta permissions requests, bot account requests, interface administrator requests, and any local Meta RfCs are closed within a reasonable timeframe. As well, as part of prudent business continuity best practices, it just makes sense to have more than two local bureaucrats in case one is sidelined temporarily for reasons of illness, power outage, or similar. So, with that, I'm pleased to nominate Reception123 to this position, and kindly ask that you wait until the candidate has accepted before !voting.

Nominated by: Dmehus (talk) 15:37, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

I accept the nomination. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 15:51, 21 August 2020 (UTC) I would like to thank Dmehus for the nomination, and while there are not many things to do as Meta bureaucrat besides close permission requests and RfCs, I think I could be useful and handle things quicker, especially since the two current bureaucrats have many other responsibilities and work to do as Dmehus also pointed out.

 * 2)  Now if I could give an even stronger support I would, I fully support Reception123 as bureaucrat.  15:55, 21 August 2020 (UTC) ］ |
 * 3)  Reception is working on Miraheze strong since 2015, and I can guarantee that he will be ready for bureaucrat.  CircleyDoesExtracter  ( Circley Talk  |  Global   |  Email the Cloud ) 15:59, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

 * As I said in my acceptance message, there are not too many things that bureaucrats on Meta can do. If I am elected, I will close successful local requests such as sysop, for example as well as close any local RfCs in which I am not implicated. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 05:35, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

User: Koyomiya5438 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: I would like to nominate Koyomiya5438 for the wiki creator.

He has been an active contributor on Miraheze since March 2020 and already got over 500 edits across some wikis. He has admin rights on some Japanese wikis. And he uses those permissions properly. He is also kind and does what is best for Miraheze. I think he understand the Miraheze policies well. Content Policy, TOU and other global policies.

In addition, he is native speaker of Japanese. Miraheze always has many Japanese wiki requests, so he will be helpful. --そらたこ (talk) 03:21, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Comments/Questions
 * 1)  Trusted. Helpful. --そらたこ (talk) 10:07, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 2)  I am only somewhat familiar with, in terms of contributions over at Public Test Wiki, which have been fine, so I cannot make an independent assessment of the candidate's understanding of Content Policy. However, seeing as  (Soratako) has nominated them, I'm willing to defer, completely, to Soratako's judgment here as we do need more Japanese language speaking wiki creators. So, I'm happy to support. Dmehus (talk) 17:35, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 3)  mainly per Dmehus, but I have had no interaction with the user, nor never heard of them, therefore I unfortunately can't give a great vote for support. However I'm willing to assume good faith and based off of the nomination being from a current wiki creator, and trusted member of the community, trust their judgement and give a weak support at least.  02:14, 25 August 2020 (UTC) ］ |
 * 4)  This user contributed this wiki 2 months ago, I think it's too early for Wiki Creator. Sorry...  10:00, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 5)  It's too early, and you're new and, on top of that, I don't feel you understand the wiki creation rules. Sorry try again in a few months --Cocopuff2018  13:44, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 6)  If there was a wiki request (for a public wiki) that had the description "This is a wiki that will be used by me and my friends" what would you do? Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 14:00, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll ask you what exactly you're going to use that wiki for and make a decision from there.--  ko  yo  mi  ya  5438   05:56, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * That's a good answer to that question. Just a head's up, there's currently a known issue with "request comments" in RequestWiki wherein the requestor isn't notified via e-mail when you add a comment, so you have two options. One, you can add a comment, and notify them on their user talk page to go back and add to their existing description with the needed information. Or, two, you "decline" the request, procedurally, with your comments requesting more information and telling them to go back into Special:RequestWikiEdit/ ##### , where  #####  represents the wiki request ID, and add the needed information. Most of the wiki creators use the latter approach, including me, but either approach works. Dmehus (talk) 14:20, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 1)  彼はウィキペディアでは巻き戻し者の権限を持っています. とても信頼でき、頼りになります. --デーモン閣下 (talk) 06:50, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikipediaでは巻き戻し者の権限持ってません. 人違いだと思われます. --  ko  yo  mi  ya  5438   09:22, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 1)  I weakly support this because while I didn't hear this user, we do need japanese wiki creators, as there's going to be japenese wiki requests coming.   Circley  Does Extracter    ( Circley Talk  |  Global   |  Email the Cloud ) 12:43, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm checking her/his user page, it appears to suspend activity on meta. She/He's a Japanese speaker so should I ask if she/he declines on her/his talk page?--松•Matsu (talk) 06:58, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry. Due to a busy schedule in the real world, I'm taking a break for six months to a year. I'm sorry to tell you, そらたこ(soratako), but I'm going to have to decline this request for now.--  ko  yo  mi  ya  5438   13:06, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

CircleyDoesExtracter (Wiki creator)

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Successful. John (talk) 17:39, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

User: CircleyDoesExtracter ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: Following my invitation to nominate him for wiki creator, has accepted my invitation to be nominated as a wiki creator. As I stated in my request, CircleyDoesExtracter is very active on Meta, helping users on the noticeboards, answering their questions, and reporting problematic single-purpose vandalism only and spam only accounts. He manages several wikis, and is familiar with Content Policy. With the recent inactivity and retirement/resignation losses we've seen recently, we've seen a net decline in our number of total and active wiki creators, despite the additions of myself and. As a result, in the near- to medium-term, we require both English speaking and multilingual wiki creators, and CircleyDoesExtracter would be excellent in this role. Of note, I've been particularly impressed with the way in which he has taken to the initial patroller guidelines, which demonstrates he is incredibly receptive to constructive feedback given.

 * Nominated Candidate's Indication of Acceptance: ✅  Circley  Does Extracter    ( Circley Talk  |  Global   |  Email the Cloud )  19:16, 8 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Nominated Candidate's Acceptance Statement: Ah yes during 2020 which is a hard day for many wiki creators to stay active, as of result, many have their wiki creator rights revoked by inactivity or resignation. Now there are only 23 wiki creators, which results in slowing down between the wiki request and wiki creation. I recommend that we should have around 35 wiki creators to fasten up the process of the wiki being created. So I approve this. :)  Circley  Does Extracter    ( Circley Talk  |  Global   |  Email the Cloud )  19:16, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
