John's Request for Stewardship
User: John ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reasoning for request
Hi, I'm John! For those unfamiliar with me I am: I bring a lot of experience to the table here which includes (but is not limited to):
 * One of the two founders/creators of Miraheze
 * Previous and first steward
 * Previous (and now current) sysop and bureaucrat on Meta and Sysadmin
 * A strong advocate of the community model of Miraheze, spear heading several RfC and community establishments of policies and requests (inc. the Steward policy)
 * Advanced knowledge of networking and IPs/UAs - ability to thoroughly investigate and utilise CheckUser data in protecting the communities
 * Different timezone to existing active stewards
 * Experience with the tools in a Miraheze setting
 * Reactive response to situations requiring the use of steward and sensitive tools

I feel like my experience speaks for itself and I'm happy to answer any questions or concerns people wish to raise with me. John (talk) 00:11, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Additional comments given by user (if any)
While not relevant to this request, since returning a month ago to full duties I have made leaps and bounds on large term projects with benefit to the community including:
 * Special:WikiDiscover
 * Special:ManageWiki - extension management
 * Categorisation of wikis

Reasoning for request
Hello, I have come to petition Miraheze users for the Steward position, although my time at Miraheze has been short, I have demonstrated with my current position as Wiki Creator, that I have been responsible for the responsibilities that come with this position, such as Steward would fulfill functions of administrator in Meta, as well as any other task assigned to me, in addition to being a native speaker of Spanish, I will be able to give support to the Spanish-speaking Miraheze community, expand Meta's documentation, and give my support to translations of the extensions if necessary

Additional comments given by user (if any)
I look forward to your comments and questions

Questions for candidate

 * 1) What do you have problem with your current position as a wiki creators for a week? Cheers :-) Cmg (talk) 15:05, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * 2) Answer: As a wiki creator for a week, I have not had a problem, I have really limited myself to my functions that are creating wikis, and as autopatrolled, I have seen that all editions in the wiki do not violate the rules in Meta, as well as undo the odd edition that violates something GOTILON  - Talk  - Contributions  15:11, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Tbh, I would like to see more activity around fighting spam and vandalism first. Ideally it would be nice if you had CVT first. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 14:50, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe you're right, I think I jumped a little, could I close this discussion or wait for the routine consensus time?

Fair0002's Request for Stewardship
User: Fair0002 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reasoning for request
I want to be a Steward to improve Miraheze, and revert any vandalism. Also, I’ll be willing to be ready to act with my new privileges if I get them. I’m gonna do the best as I can for Miraheze. I’ve made tens of contributions on Wikipedia, although I was blocked there, and I am a bureaucrat of the Crazybloxian Empire wiki.

Questions for candidate

 * @Fair0002, I would like to ask, do you have comments that may change the opinions of the people opposing this request? It would be a lie to say that your request has not been meant with warm hearts but it would be nice if you could give further insight into why you want to be a steward, what you believe the goal of stewards are, how are you going to contribute to Miraheze in a positive way. A reply to peoples views below would also be welcomed, by me if no one else. &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  22:50, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

 * 1) Not experienced enough, and there have been concerns with their blocks on their home wiki. There are also issues with qualifications.   Malcolm Talk  03:36, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 2) Contributions on wikipedia doesn't mean anything here on Miraheze. You should first contribute globally on Miraheze, perhaps especially on meta. If you really want to combat vandals, you should become a CVT member first, rather than being a steward. And I also know that your true motivation for running for Steward is that you want to have CU permissions on your wiki (which is not a global reason), following your actions.-- 04:46, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 3) No indication of active global contributions, or many interactions with the global Miraheze community either for that matter. The account was created two days ago. I'd propose a SNOW close. Reception123  (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 05:32, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 4) New account that asks for high-level permissions. Also mentions ban on wikipedia. Yea seems pretty legit.Chriskk01b (talk) 08:26, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 5) per above. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 17:52, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 6) As the others have said, stewards require commitment and strong activity. At this time I do not believe the candidate has these traits along with some other core principles of stewardship. However, I would encourage them to reapply in the future if they believe the situation has changed. &#32;  Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  23:07, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 7) Snowball. —<b style="color: #1406D0;">AlvaroMolina</b> (<b style="color: #137500;">✉</b> -  ✔ ) 01:31, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 8) It is needless to say.--プログラマリオ (Pen name:Mario Yonezawa) 11:32, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 9) Not experienced enough, I checked central auth and the user account is too new (only 38 days old) and needs more experimence,  Psl631  (talk to me) 17:30, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 10) Awarding stewardship to someone who ostensibly wishes to contribute to Miraheze with such power and responsibility without having first spent enough time or experience to proof of their worthiness for it would set a dangerous, concerning precedent. &#32;  Miraheze Logo.svg centrist16 | Talk | P mail.svg | Discord color D.svg  &#32; 19:14, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
