I request sysop access.

• Language Code: ar
• Local Request Link: none
• Automatic List of local bureaucrats: ar:n:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat
• Local User Page: ar:n:User:PxMa

Both of the administrators are inactive and some changes need to be made to the mediawiki space.

Thank you. PxMa 21:54, 25 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Done -- Without a community to approve you, I cannot grant you permanent sysop status, but I have granted you temporary permissions, which will last one month. When these expire, please place another request in the section below entitled "Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes", and we can grant you an extension. If the wiki does develop a community, please set up a permissions request page and allow a few weeks for the active users to give their opinions on who would make a good sysop.

Further to this decision of the Arbitration Committee on the French-language wikipedia taken today, it has been decided :

• to given checkuser access to fr:User:Clem23 and fr:User:Mmenal (fr:User:Alain r and fr:User:Hexasoft are already checkusers)
• to remove checkuser access to fr:User:Aoineko, fr:User:Céréales Killer, fr:User:Markov, fr:User:Schiste, fr:User:Sebcaen

Thank you. Bapti 11:36, 21 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

I can't do it myself since it's my home wiki, but I confirm this request correlate with the one on the french page. DarkoNeko 12:31, 21 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Please provide confirmation from the office that these persons have identified themselves. I will in the mean time remove the checkusers that have to be removed (two remain, so that's fine). Effeiets anders 13:38, 21 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

I note btw that w:fr:User:Aoineko is still "developer" on frwiki (not sure if that has implications on CU) and that also Cary Bass has CU-rights although not mentioned. Effeiets anders 13:45, 21 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

I saw for Cary Bass and I was very suprise. w:fr:User:Aoineko wa developer before to become checkuser.

I will ask fr:User:Clem23 and fr:User:Mmenal to identify to the office.--Bapti 17:02, 21 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Cary was performing crosswiki checkuser co-ordination and his access should not be removed. I'm sure he'll do it himself once he's finished. --Deskana 11:41, 22 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

I bet he forgot, someone should bug him on IRC about it once he arrive :) DarkoNeko 17:47, 24 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Please grant OverSight access on enwiki to w:User:Deskana.

For the Committee.

Hello! I'm w:it:Utente:Fredericks an admin of it.wikipedia. Due to my new real-life work I've not much time to spend for Wikipedia: for this reason I would like to be desysopped, as I haven't enough time anymore for a serious wikiadmin activity.

Please remove sysop status to User:Alfio, following results of the reconfirmation poll (see here)--Cotton 11:28, 27 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Due to lack of confidence in several of my fellow admins on the danish Wikipedia I request to be de-sysopped.

I request temporary sysop access to clean up the CSD (especially removing the copyvios) and to fix the link to the main page. The only sysop is Drini, who does not clean up.

• Local User Page: b:pa:ਮੈਂਬਰ:Prince Kassad

Thank you. -- Prince Kassad 12:43, 27 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi! I'm a bot approvals guy from the English Wikipedia, and I need a bot, w:User:RedirectCleanupBot, given the bot flag. I'm posting here because it already has the sysop flag, so the mere mortals that usually flag bots cannot do it. The bot was approved at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/RedirectCleanupBot. Thanks, ST47 11:50, 13 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

The link given above does not work, please use w:Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/RedirectCleanupBot, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} 12:02, 13 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

I'm not sure whether this is allowed per policies. Deletions should always be visible to the community afaik. Generally it is considered not done to have both flag at the same time. I'd like a second opinion here, but I tend to negative. Effeiets anders 12:31, 13 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

The community was asked and the consensus has shown that they wish this to be done. We could have done it ourselves, but the bureaucrat who promoted must have not read the instructions on how to do it on the talk page... Ahh, I see, the RfA wasn't linked to you: w:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/RedirectCleanupBot. Cbrown1023 talk 12:48, 13 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

No, I didn't do it wrong. Bots need to be approved by BRFA to get bog flagging, and in order to pass the approvals process it needs to do a trial, for which it requires admin rights. Not that it matters anyway, it's been flagged now per my requests on the Requests for Bot Flagging page. --Deskana 18:10, 13 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Yes, I had noticed the earlier when I appended the RfA link but forgot to append my original statement, I'm sorry. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 18:27, 13 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

I forgive you ;-) --Deskana 18:30, 13 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

The bots main aim is to delete and fix Broken redirects which doesn't really need to be visible to the community since its just general cleanup work--Comet styles 12:38, 13 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

This has also been requested on requests for bot status. Majorly (talk ) 18:09, 13 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]
