Hello, ht.wikisource had been closed due to inactivity (I think it is located on incubator now), for ht.wiki, please can You make a local request too, because I can see other contributors too; they should be aware of it. Thanks, and best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 11:07, 11 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Done ! (ht:Wikipedya:Administratè)

for wikisource, it's here : http://ht.wikisource.org/wiki/Paj_Prensipal , i'm looking for contributions and documents, medias freely available or donations for the library :-), cordially Masterches 12:43, 11 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Yes, it is there, but closed ;( still

Thanks for the local request, lets give it some time to see if someone responds, I'd say a 3 months period to start would be fine then, what do You think? --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 12:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

the last activity is marked on may...it had been put for closure but i motivated the position of this wiki. it's a long term project; there is a lack of contribution but things are going ahead.i'm looking for contributions and documents, medias freely available, distribuable or donations for the library :-); i do think things will go better when all needed translations will be done (availability for wiktionary, wikiquote and wikversity); closing them is a heavy damage for our emerging language.

i'm yet an administrator (for 2 periods yet :-), 6 months ago ) Masterches 12:53, 11 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

@ht.s: See Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Haitian Creole Wikisource and bugzilla:13967, please consider to contribute to oldwikisource until there is some activity to revive that project. The articles are then not lost, but can be imported easily.

@ht.w: I see, You have temp-status on ht.wiki still, I would suggest 6 months this time then. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 13:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Ok, allrights; i continue my contributions, notably to translations; that's not easy, there's so much to say and to do and so little contributions for a community larger than 15 millions haitian creole spoken persons (Haiti-Canada-USA ..etc) ,that's a pity; but things are going ahead. thank you Masterches 13:34, 11 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Done (ht.wikipedia) expires: 12-12-2008, I have removed Your temporary rights on ht.wikisource, since it makes no sense, it is not possible to edit there right now, please consider to contribute to old wikisource until the project can be revived, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 09:21, 12 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

The community is still very small, so temporary admin permissions might be better. Would you agree to a six-month temporary adminship? You can hold another vote then if you think the community is sufficiently larger, or come back in 6 month's time to request another temporary adminship term.--Shanel 03:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Yes, I agree that a temporary admin will be best at this stage, but I assume that another vote could be held before the six-month term expires. Girmitya 13:19, 9 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

I need an answer,please, user Andoromeda supports me to be administrator. --Chabi 14:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello Chabi, since the community seems to be too small to hold a regular voting, I would suggest You ask for temporary sysop status, it is technically the same, You just check back some days before it expires to prolong it or if the community grows in the meantime, You can hold a regular voting. I would say, lets make 3 months for a start, what do You think? Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 09:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

I request sysop access.

• Language Code: gu:
• Local Request Link: gu:વિકિપીડિયા:પ્રબંધક
• Automatic List of local bureaucrats: gu:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat
• Local User Page: gu:User:Dsvyas

I have been the only active Sysop on gu.wiki for last 4-5 months, I have been granted temp admin rights twice in past (first time 1.5 month and then 3 months). As the community is very small, there is not enough voting on the nomination page, but still I could get 4 votes in my favor. Community is growing day by day, when I started there were hardly 400 pages, now within this 4-5 months, we have crossed 1000 pages, this is I think because of my active participation as well as other User's contributions. I would appreciate if you could grant me permanent Admin rights on the basis of 4 votes (all in favor), as the community is small and number of contributors is even law.

Thank you. Dhaval ^Talk 11:32, 12 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello Dhaval, what do You think about a 6 months period this time, as You said the community still is small and I think when it grows there can be of course held voting, what do You think, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 16:52, 12 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi Birdy, I don't mind having 6 months (once again temp), but don't want to get fed up with this repeatedly asking for access, as you can see there is no other Admin than me active for more than last 6 months, in this case, I don't know what can be the constraint for not granting permanent ADmin with 4 votes, I remember, last time I was told that as the community is small, even if i coudl get 5 votes, I'll get Permanent, and 4 is much more close to 5. Have a think on it and let me know. I would rather after 6 months give up asking for extension if the only reason for temp is that the community is small.--Dhaval ^Talk 17:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello Dhaval, the last thing I want to is to fed You up. Please understand this is only to prevent problems in growing communities we have seen in the past. I would like to propose You, lets make it temp for 6 months this time and after six months if everything is fine and the voting has not changed or change to Your favor lets make it permanent, could You agree to that without giving up? --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 17:44, 12 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

There is no point in waiting any longer with the vote since almost every active user has already voted (everyone agrees that Ainali should be made bureaucrat). Our excisting 'crat is almost never there any more and there is no telling when and if Väsk will turn up to do the work so we request a steward to do this for us. --MiCkE ^d _b 15:37, 12 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

We request Bureaucrat access@ganwikipedia. We are the site proposal users and the main editors of gan wikipedia in incubator site. When the gan wikipedia built formally in May 26th, we need the founction of bureaucrat rights to authorize the bot request and maintence the interface of the site. so we nominate two users requesting bureaucrat rights in the site and win common sense of serveral users including the acceptence of the native speaker proposal users. So please authorize the bureaucrat access to Symane and Vipuser. The main work of Symane is maintence of the interface, and vipuser is responsible for dealing the request of bots and site maintence affairs . Thanks very much!

On hold: Now not sysop in ganwikipedia--Shizhao 14:13, 10 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

What should we do now?--Vipuser 17:08, 10 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Shizhao, Note that 1. These two guys are experienced wikipedians. They are supported by the gan: community and they will use these tools well. 2. The English wikiversity started with temporary a sysop and a temporary bureaucrat; it worked well and nobody has complained. 3. These guys have valid reasons to request bureaucratships. 4. Requests for bureaucratship are local affairs. The only question should be whether there is an active community supporting each request. The community should decide for themselves whether it is acceptable for somebody to become a bureaucrat straightaway. Hillgentleman 17:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC) - note: by "strightaway" I mean "without having been a sysop locally". Hillgentleman 17:40, 10 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Not really. Sometimes stewards don't give bureaucratship on small projects — VasilievV ² 17:27, 10 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

I asked, and am waiting for an answer, but he avoids to give it, wihout making a clear position.

How long should I wait for his answer, before asking here again? diego_pmc 12:54, 2 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Yep, You can add also bots of other botowners, temporary bureaucrat status is only given in very very special cases (because making it temporary is rather senseless, since one could then change the rights of other users), rather not, also it is mostly done like: first sysop then crat, in this case please add the bots to be flagged to the request page on meta.
