Requests for global rollback permissions

Global rollback for Simeondahl

Hey. I request for "global rollback" because I removes some vandalism with the standard tools, but I will often walk past pages that I have not been put it on. I have some experience with the removal of vandalism and other Wikimedia projects. It would be easier to have it as standard on all projects. I think I have enough experience and suitable to be, granted it. I can easily use it I use now, but it's still nice to have it, as I said, to standard. Hope I did not express myself well enough :) Greetings Simeondahl (talk) 13:15, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Previous requests: August, June. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 20:48, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose Not now You weren't active for month and came back to SWMT yesterday. I trust you to use this tool well and please stay active. Then GR will be granted quickly ;-) Vogone (talk) 13:56, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose Oppose You haven't been that active on the SWMT.--Jasper Deng (talk) 16:56, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
• & I was neutral in June but I feel this request is inappropriate. Your only activity revert-wise since August has been today, according to luxo. This is your third request, and it's not promising to see that you've been active only around the time you've run for this permission both in August and now, this is clearly the wrong attitude. Also, the statement above is not really addressing the concerns raised last two time around imo. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 21:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
  • (削除) Now it's my turn to explain myself. I disagree with that I only active during my requests. It's nonsense. I have not been global asset because I have had some problems that stood in the way. If I could, so have I also been active. I've also active in many others, because I would not look as if I just want to have rights just to have them. I just surrendered my Rollback on Simple Wikipedia, just because I know I will not be using it for a long time. I request the privilege because it will help the work I do around the other Wikis. So no ... So I did not that you can call it "Inappropriate". But if that's what you think, so I suppose it is. --Simeondahl (talk) 22:57, 30 November 2012 (UTC) (削除ここまで)
  • Hello Snowolf. I am so sorry for what I said before. I dit mean a word. I trueley ergee about what you ware saying. I know if you think I am a idiot, and I am sometimes. I respect your desission trueley. Please forgive me. Greetings Simeondahl (talk) 00:27, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose Oppose - More juvenile than your repeated requests for Global Rollback is your response to Snowolf. There is a stark difference between an appropriate and respectful response to someone who opposes your request and calling their opinion "nonsense." Your inactivity coupled with your rather apparent lack of maturity leads me to believe it would be inappropriate to grant you additional userrights. Tiptoety ^talk 23:39, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
  • • Hello, I know I has bin a idiot today. I am sorry :-( . Please close this, please. --Simeondahl (talk) 00:31, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Global rollback for Maxtirdatov

• Global user: Maxtirdatov (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA )

Global rollback for Hazard-SJ

Again, I'm requesting global rollback (previous requests, all rejected: 1, 2, 3). I've been in the SWMT for over 2 years now, and I have been fairly active (in my opinion) recently, reverting edits and nominating pages for deletion (well...I know this part isn't relevant for gr). Hazard-SJ ✈ 01:14, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

• Fourth time's the charm I guess... Not impressed by the number of previous requests, but I think that you have enough experience at this point. Support. Ajraddatz (Talk) 01:22, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
• Neutral Neutral. I know he's trustworthy, however others voiced concerns about a past incident on testwiki in his Wikidata request for adminship.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:29, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
• Support Support I think he's ready now and I trust him with rollback. Besides, GR isn't a big deal. πr² (t • c) 02:45, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose Oppose - While "being active" is certainly a criteria for userrights (and a rather important one), it is not the only one. I am still left with a sour taste in my mouth from Hazard-SJ's rather blatant past attempts at hat collecting (as references above) as well as this incident on test-wiki. While I feel that rollback is no big deal, the issue with Global Rollback is that actions of the rollbacker are harder to monitor as they are taking place across multiple projects. As such, it requires a greater level of responsibility and I do not feel that Hazard-SJ has demonstrated that he has met that level. Tiptoety ^talk 02:47, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
  • I'm believe that in many projects, if an admin does something and another admin, who is directly involved, undoes it without any discussion, there would be a problem. All I did was to undo the involved admin's revert and ask for discussion, then without even any discussion about my actions, my rights were removed. Hazard-SJ ✈ 03:50, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
    • To be fair, the stuff at testwiki is completely unrelated (in my mind) to this user's ability to click the [rollback] button in multiple languages. While the hat collecting concern is a legitimate one, the entire point of that concern is that in requesting the rights for the wrong reasons, there is potential for misuse. There aren't any indications of this here, as I see it. This is only rollback we're talking about here, and giving the user the benefit of the doubt might be beneficial here. Ajraddatz (Talk) 04:01, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
    • I wholly agree with Ajr. I fail to see how the stuff on testwiki has anything to do with global rollback. It's one button, imo the only concerns about gr should be activity and experience reverting vandalism across multiple projects and languages. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 09:12, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
• Support Support --Kolega2357 (talk) 18:45, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
• Neutral Neutral Not sure after I read Tiptoety's and Jasper Deng's comment. I have to think about it. Trijnstel _talk 19:48, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
• Weak oppose. I am not impressed by his recent cross-wiki activity, which is IMO very limited. You have only edited ten different projects in the last week, these including enwiki, simplewiki, wikidatawiki and commonswiki. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] & [6]. Six reverts in the last seven days make an average of less than a revert a day, and this could IMO easily be covered with global Twinkle or the undo. The fact that all but two of these edits in the last week were made today doesn't either give me much confidence in your long-term activity as a global rollbacker. Sa vh ^ñ 20:27, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
• Support Support well, it's no big deal and the user is in my opinion trusted. Vogone (talk) 20:35, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose, per Savh --MF-W 21:14, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
• Neutral Neutral. I don't think you're an hat collector, or if you were, well, anyone can make a mistake. I'm fairly sure you've understood the lesson. However, you're crosswiki activity does not persuade me, so I agree with Savh as for this point. Once you will have reached a certain continuity, GR will be granted more easily to you. --Frigotoni ...i'm here; 21:30, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Done Even though we don't base our decisions just on the votes, it's still important to mention imho. I counted 8 [weak] supports, 6 neutral votes and 4 [weak] opposes. Snowolf clearly stated that he considers global rollback not a big deal, but he didn't support nor oppose the candidate so I didn't count him in as a support. All together it's more than 66% support. The four opposes were because of allegedly hat collecting, an incident on testwiki which was also mentioned in his RfA on wikidata and the fact that he isn't very active thus doesn't need the rights. Hat collecting is always very hard to prove. The thing on testwiki had to do with his admin rights that he had. As global rollback doesn't contain any of the usual admin tools (see Global rollback#Userrights - he can only view abuse filters, but cannot create them and furthermore it's only rollback with autopatrol etc), it's really not important for this request as he never made any mistakes cross-wiki afaik. The activity is important though and I really hope that he'll be more active from now on. Good luck. Trijnstel _talk 17:53, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Global rollback for Makecat

Hello, I want to have global rollback rights since undoing function is inconvenient and my undos may trigger abusefilter without autoconfirmed identity. I have been on SWMT IRC channel for about four months, and joined it two months ago (actually, I forgot it). I am an sysop on zh.wikipedia and a sysop on a small wiki wuu.wikipedia (recently). I also have rollback rights on en.wikipedia and commons. Apart from monitoring small wikis, this tool can help me deal with cross-wiki spam or vandalism on other projects. Here are some reverts I made today: [7] [8] [9] [10]. Besides these, some edits requesting for speedy deletion are invisible. Thanks for expressing your views. --Make cat 12:42, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

• The user seems to have general experience with vandalism and seems also to be trustworthy. However, there is no very high activity in global anti-vandalism work. In benefit of the trust Support Support. Greetings, Vogone (talk) 14:35, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose Weak to normal oppose - not many cross-wiki reverts according to luxotool entry.--Jasper Deng (talk) 17:44, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose Oppose - as i see it, you have just been active for a frew months. I think if you continue the good work, then I sure that you will get GR some day :) --Simeondahl (talk) 17:50, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
• Neutral Neutral -- Trusted user but lack of cross-wiki anti-vandalism, so not for now! Wagino 20100516 (talk) 18:50, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
• Comment Comment You are definitely trusted, but I think you should have a little more experience. You can also install Twinkle globally to revert more quickly but that doesn't handle the abusefilter issues. πr² (t • c) 22:56, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

  You can count this as a weak support if needed. πr² (t • c) 03:29, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

• Neutral Neutral --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:24, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Not promoted. The consensus shows that user is clearly trusted, but lacks a bit of cross-wiki activities outside of their main project(s). Do keep up the good work and come back to apply again a bit later! --Bencmq (talk) 03:30, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Requests for global sysop permissions

Global sysop for PiRSquared17

Hello, I have been a member of the Small Wiki Monitoring Team (SWMT) for over two years. As evidence of my experience, you can check the "edits" or "crosswiki-ness" links above. Since joining, I have tagged many pages for deletion. Even though these edits are deleted and therefore aren't visible in Luxo's tool, you can check this page ("User statistics" section) to see that I have made many requests for speedy deletions, but most of the pages I tagged for deletion were not submitted there. I would like to request Global sysop rights so I don't need to bother GSs and stewards with as many requests. I would mostly use it to delete spam/vandalism/nonsense/test pages, but I would also use it to block vandals on wikis with no admins (or in emergency situations, on wikis with few admins) and to do other miscellaneous actions like the one on the bottom two lines of this section. (the reason this request was done so quickly was because I asked a GS to do it) Thank you for giving your opinions, πr² (t • c) 03:25, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Languages: en, fr-1 or fr-2, roa-1 (can read basic texts in many Romance languages).

• Je supporte le candidat. Il est actif dans le SWMT. He could also use the tools well, as his numerous taggings have shown me. Ajraddatz (Talk) 03:31, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
• Support Support. I don't want to see anyone opposing him simply because he doesn't have local sysop anywhere - he has well over two and almost three years of experience.--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:54, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
• & PiRSquared has been very active in the SWMT, is clearly clueful and careful, is extremely dedicated to the Wikimedia community and small projects. We'd really benefit from him being granted the tools. Just the other day he asked me to create some MediaWiki pages on some fairly obscure wiki which he's trying to help out at, and it would be great for him to be able to maintain them himself and in general not have to go thru us as he's clearly competent and will do a great job.

Global sysop for Érico

Hi everyone. I would like to have global sysop tools. I have been a member of the Small Wiki Monitoring Team (SWMT) for eight months, global rollbacker for 6 months and a sysop on commons (verify - contribs - logs), ca.wikinews (verify - contribs - logs) and outreach (verify - contribs - logs), (and former sysop and active bureaucrat in pt.wikipedia-contribs - logs, and pt.wikinews-contribs - logs). Global sysop tools would help me to delete spam/vandalic pages and block some persistent vandals that do not react to warnings. I am easily reachable as I am available on the countervandalism and related channels. Thanks for your consideration, Érico Wouters ^msg 02:42, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
