Steward requests/Global permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This is an archived version of this page, as edited by GeneralNotability (talk | contribs) at 22:00, 18 February 2023 (Global sysop for Tulsi: o). It may differ significantly from the current version .
This page hosts requests for global permissions. To make a request, read the relevant policy (global rollback , global sysop , global rename , ...) and make a request below. Explain why membership is needed for that group, and detail prior experience or qualifications.

This is not a vote and any active Wikimedia editor may participate in the discussion.

Global rollback and global interface editor requests require no fewer than 5 days of discussion while abuse filter helper and maintainer requests require no fewer than 7 days. Global renamer and global sysop requests require no fewer than 2 weeks of discussion. For requests that are unlikely to pass under any circumstances, they may be closed by a steward without further discussion (after a reasonable amount of input).

Requests for global rollback permissions

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.
Please also review the Global rollback policy.
Please note that Global rollbackers discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that: You have sufficient activity to meet the requirements to be allocated the global rollback flag

To make a request
Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain of why you need the access and why you're suitable.
=== Global rollback for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
 |status = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user -->
}}
::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:H:i, j F Y (T)|+5 days}}''

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than 5 days (with rare exceptions , no matter how obvious the result may seem). This is not a vote, and all input is welcome. Stewards will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in cross-wiki work will be most influential.

Global rollback for Sakura emad

Status:  In progress
Not ending before 20 February 2023 07:06 UTC

Recently i've been asked to enter CAPTCHA alot when undoing edits (Fighting against vandalism) on wikimedia projects, which affects some of the scripts & tools that i use to fight against vandals like swviewer, TwinkleGlobal, Restorer some other tools (which happened 5-10 times in the last month) furthermore, i am a member of SWMT which requires GR for cross-wiki activities against vandalism and wiki maintenance, thanks -- 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 07:06, 15 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]

  • Support Support active crosswiki patroller, good knowledgment of different wiki guidelines --Giglio Ω 20:03, 16 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Oppose Oppose. Communication is one of the key issues that I've found problematic with Sakura emad, and communication is key for GR. Granted, I haven't interacted with this user for over a year, but a quick glimpse of their simple talk page indicates otherwise. Interacting with trolls, such as w:simple:User talk:Sakura emad#Trasformismo and w:simple:User talk:Sakura emad#You have to cheat the system to let you To let it let you press it twice? is also a major red flag for me. My opinion will remain unchanged unless Sakura emad changes their MO towards trolls and improves their communication skills. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 20:27, 16 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
    @SHB2000 at first looking your oppose (before reading it) i thought "maybe there's something wrong with me and i can make use of their opinion to improve myself", looking at Trasformismo on simplewiki: i reverted their edit(s) (note they were both minors probably kids) explained to them that's not how Wikipedia works; leaving Wikipedia:about so they can understand what are they doing and where are they. also may ways of communication changes accordingly. i must adopt to the situation for example 'who i am dealing with?', 'how old are they' (if necessary), 'how do they behave? are they understanding?', 'are they listening? if yes, i can use my ROLLBACK not just for wikimedia pages but to improve IPS/Users too, so my ways of communication is like this and i don't want to enforce anything but improve things.
    "You have to cheat the system to let you To let it let you press it twice?" same as i said before i work on both (human + pages) it's about improving the Encyclopædia as whole, the goal is to Create an environment that everyone can comfortably enjoy their time on the project.
    Thanks. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 20:54, 16 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
    Don't just assume someone is a minor based on their editing habits – we're in a world full of internet trolls who claim to be or meticulously behave younger than they actually are. Your excessive AGF towards trolls and vandals now makes me want to strike out my oppose !vote and change it to a strong oppose !vote. SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 06:39, 17 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
    SHB2000, sometimes it can be better to respond to trolls on your user talk page to keep them away from mainspace... --Ferien (talk) 21:05, 16 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
    Righty, but my point still stands about their excessive AGF towards vandals and trolls. SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 06:39, 17 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]

  •  Weak support A lot of x-wiki activity, so I believe it would be useful for them to have GR. The issue highlighted by SHB2000—too much AGF/feeding the trolls—is probematic, but I don't believe it's significant enough to be a deal breaker. Also from personal experience I don't think that communication is the key for GR. Like, important and useful, but not the key. ~Styyx Talk? 22:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
    @Styyx understandable, but from what i remember i never intended to feed the trolls, these two kids were not Trolls Definition of trolling , this is my way of engaging in a conversation with some people that trying to understand on what is wrong and what is right. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 22:50, 16 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]

  • Support. I don't get SHB2000's concern - I looked at the link and all I see is the OP responding to (what I guess is someone that committed vandalism). Sure, it's odd, but this one seems harmless to me. After all, the user that committed vandalism may end up realising their mistake and end up positively contributing to the project; isn't that what we want? This user is clearly not a LTA.

Global sysop for Tulsi

Status:  In progress
Not ending before 4 March 2023 03:37 UTC

Here seeking a vote of confidence, I am a former global rollbacker and global sysop. I have been actively serving as a sysop here on Meta-Wiki combating vandalism, cross-wiki abuse and/or fulfilling requests while maintaining a bit of crossactivity lately. I don't know, I don’t have much hope if the community would grant me another chance. However, I wish to continue my service in GS related areas and assure you that I will be more cautious if granted. Apologies for my bad. Tulsi 24x7 03:37, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]

@Tulsi:, when your GS was removed, you did not give a clear explanation on what led to the right being removed (apparently you were caught doing undisclosed paid editing, which you flatly denied). This needs to be explained, in detail. Leaderboard (talk) 05:12, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
Back then I made a post on Facebook through my page which was for promoting wiki outreach events (because I was more involved in outreach during that time) but it was misunderstood or taken that way that I was providing paid services which is not true. The post was forked/inspired from WMF Social media contact Google form. And, the same time I wrote poor article (apparently autopatrolled because of gobal autopatrol associated with GR and led to abuse of right.) which got deleted then it turned whole scenario scary at least for me. My article writing skills are not that good. I couldn't explain well at that time because wasn't having good time back in real life. I have never involved myself in paid article writing. There might be some COI but I avoid now. I became more careful and tried writing better articles and have managed to create about 100 articles since then to improve myself. Tulsi 24x7 06:26, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Oppose Oppose still not convinced for the timebeing. If anything, I'd suggest regaining the community's trust for GR first before applying for GS. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 11:07, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Oppose Oppose per SHB2000, I would rather you applied for global rollback first. --Ferien (talk) 11:26, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Strong opposeYou had your chance.-WikiBayer 👤💬 11:31, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
  •  Weak support although I agree that applying for GR first would be a better idea, I believe you've learned from past mistakes and would make a good global sysop. --Johannnes89 (talk) 11:36, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
  •  Weak support I also think it would be better to ask for GR flag first of all, and then wait some months (if granted), without any rush. I said this not because I'd be against giving the GS to a not-GR user, but only because the issue with the deflag concerned the AP flag (contained in the GR set). I honestly think anyone can get a second chance and learn from their mistakes, and on wiki I have seen some demonstration of this. I'm convinced that such situations will never repeat again. But you are currently sysop on many wikis, you are active crosswiki and has a good reason to ask for the flag, so why not? Best --Superpes15 (talk) 12:03, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Strong oppose -- I'm a firm believer in second chances, but a global lock and a tool removal (in unrelated incidents) are way too much for me to be able to trust someone with GS. Giraffer (talk) 13:14, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Strong oppose, given the circumstances associated with the previous removal of GR/GS this is non-negotiable; and in addition Tulsi's editing patterns since that removal have hardly been confidence-inspiring. Java Hurricane 13:38, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Oppose Oppose Probably I would have supported for GR, but IMHO it is too early for GS again. --Ameisenigel (talk) 14:44, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Comment Neutral to be fair i saw Tulsi participating against vandalism alongside with us (SWMT Members) he's active when it comes to reverting vandalism and fighting against vandals. i am neutral for now. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 17:16, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
  •  Weak support Per Johannnes89 and Superpes15. AlPaD (talk) 20:42, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Oppose Oppose first the whole sockpuppetry thing, now this, without any real apology. This is so bizarre. I am usually down for second (third, in this case) chances, but there has to be some sort of acknowledgement of what went wrong. Looking through talk page messages, it seems like there is just more lying, and now an apology here but without an actual admittance of wrongdoing. – Ajraddatz (talk) 21:48, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
    To be clear, the explanation above doesn't make sense. IRL things meant he couldn't write a message explaining what happened on his talk page? I've read the talk page exchange, he was advertizing editing services on his Facebook profile, the deleted article that he recreated had previously been created by a paid editor. Either it's a massive coincidence or the explanation is still not satisfactory. – Ajraddatz (talk) 21:50, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Oppose Oppose Sorry, but the events of a couple years ago have basically destroyed any chance that I would trust you with advanced rights. GeneralNotability (talk) 21:59, 18 February 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
