LeoJun (sysop)
User: LeoJun ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: I am a Taiwanese from the Asian region, which is convenient for language relations. I think several administrators are needed in the Asian region to facilitate the maintenance of the operation of the system! At the same time, I will frequently go online to check and assist users who need help! I urge everyone's support. Help and affirmation. Additional comments:

Reason: I would make a good steward because I have been experienced with using fandom and have used it for 2 years I am helpful and I am good at computers and helping out. I would never give any personal information to anyone I would keep it all private I am trustworthy I know I been here a short period of time but I think i can do this. i am good with managing wikis and blocking trolls when needed i am good with all kinds of wiki things i think i can do this.

 * Way too early in my opinion and you have not even became a sysop yet. I would recommend starting your own wiki, become a better known member of the community, and then come back in about 4-5 months and request sysop. For now, I am going to have to say no to this.

 * Successful. John (talk) 18:30, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

User: Amanda Catherine ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: To assist in cleaning out and preventing extensive backlogs in Special:RequestWikiQueue. I've noticed some backlogs going back several days (not the case as of writing, but that should never happen). IMO wikis should not be backlogged in the request queue for more than 48 hours, 72 hours at the absolute maximum. Now that I expect to be active again, I believe that I can help achieve this.

Additional comments: I previously held wiki creator rights, granted in July 2019. I voluntarily resigned in late August without being "under a cloud" or any other scrutiny (Special:Diff/81395) due to my unexpected wikibreak related to personal issues. However, given that I expect to be more active here, although perhaps not as proflic as I once was, I believe that I can volunteer as a wiki creator which I think is one of the most important volunteer positions to make sure there is no shortage of.

 * 2) I abstained for the request last year because I did not know much about Amanda. It seems to me now that she is capable to be a wiki creator and because she resigned and was not removed I have no problem with her being wiki creator again. DeeM28 (talk) 18:12, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Cocopuff2018 (Wiki creator)
User: Cocopuff2018 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: i am Coco i am a helpful user and active pretty much daily i think i should get this role because i am good at Helping out with request, i would be able to check for request daily and even though i am kind of new i want to start with something small so i think this would be a good start for me and i fell more wiki creators could be used around here.

Additional comments: i have been experienced with fandom and i am capable of handling request like these i think i should be given the opportunity to help others as i am good at doing so.

 * The user does not appear to be active on Meta (has less than 25 edits in the just under a month they have had an account), which is the only real criteria for wiki creator IMHO besides "not a jerk, has a clue". Additionally, the user failed to format this request properly despite there being boilerplate when opening a new request that clearly indicates what to change and what not to change, and they also didn't sign their comments here. Both of these things put question marks around the "has a clue" part of the general criteria for any permission. On top of that, being experienced with another hosting provider (such as Fandom as indicated) does not on its own indicate merit for wiki creatorship here, because every hosting system has a different style of handling new wikis. If I recall correctly, Miraheze is the only free host that actually requires you to request a wiki, and therefore experience with another host where users can create their own wikis on their own really does not demonstrate anything in terms of fulfilling the "has a clue" clause. Finally, the fact that the user is not active on Meta means that I cannot properly confirm that they satisfy the "not a jerk" clause since I have no record of how they interact with the local community here.

 * Amanda Agree with this -- Sourav  Talk... 07:10, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I know that he's nice and helpful, but other than that I don't really know how he'd perform. I saw him confront a user that blocked him before, he said they were abusing rights, and I agree that the user was abusing rights, but Coco seemed pretty unprofessional during the incident. WickyHoney (talk) 01:32, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The 4th edit on Meta is a request for permissions. With not enough edits and a seeming tendency to hat collecting I would oppose this at this time. DeeM28 (talk) 08:05, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * While I believe that the user has good intentions, I also am aware that they have engaged in Sockpuppetry. Because of this, I cannot support. -EK ● 📝 ● 🌎 15:07, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

TheBuzzOnMaggieYes CaillouNo (sysop)
User: TheBuzzOnMaggieYes CaillouNo ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: So I can block people who break the rules, stop vandalism, and protect pages from vandalism, edit wars, etc.

 * Way too new to Meta -EK ● 📝 ● 🌎 20:27, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * No previous edits on Meta. Bonnedav (talk) 20:31, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * First things first, the elephant in the room: inappropriate username. Or at least, username with questionable appropriateness. That's an automatic deal breaker. However, username issues aside, I concur that with no previous edits on Meta, this user is not qualified to hold any advanced permissions, let alone sysop which is one of the largest and one where the most trust is required. Additionally, the request reason does not demonstrate a good understanding of what a Meta sysop would actually do on a regular basis. Edit wars in the true sense of the term almost never occur here, and pages are rarely protected as a result of vandalism (most high-importance pages are preemptively protected to prevent vandalism from happening). Vandalism on Meta quite frequently (but not always) goes hand-in-hand with cross wiki disruption and therefore is usually handled by a steward or CVT member, not just a Meta sysop. These are the kind of things that I would expect a candidate for Meta sysop, especially one who is not already a CVT member or a steward, to have mastery knowledge about. The fact that the user failed to sign their initial comments, while a minor issue, also doesn't help their cause. Sorry, but no. Amanda Catherine (talk) 22:14, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
