I already hold a temporary sysop flag on this project, which expires very soon. Please look into the possibility of making it permanent. --Lee (talk) 13:17, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Done Granted for 2 years to expire on 2026年08月02日. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks.

Unfortunately per MVR I cannot grant you a permanent flag here, but given your previous tenures I am granting you adminship for another two year term. EPIC (talk) 13:21, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. -- Lee (talk) 13:23, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Actually, I just noticed that I had misread the date; I just noticed that the discussion had only been open for two days. Since we need to allow a week of discussion I have to remove the rights for now and place this On hold until 9 August 2024. Apologize for the inconvenience. EPIC (talk) 15:48, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

This time is the correct one. EPIC (talk) 08:05, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Request is old. Though permanent was preferable but you may grant me just a week. There are some sysopic duties I would like to perform immediately there. Also I have been given sysop on trial for several times. Thanks-- Tumbuka Arch (talk) 16:26, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

This request appears to be over three months old. As you can read in #Using this page, requests should generally be open for at least a week, and if desired it can run for 2-3 weeks, but no longer than that. So, unfortunately, you will need to restart the process and open a new request for adminship, as the request is unfortunately currently too old for us to action on. So I have to close this as Not done. EPIC (talk) 17:13, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Also, as a comment; if there are any administrative tasks you need quick help with, feel free to place a request at GSR if it's just a simple cleanup or SRM if it is a more complicated task. We will be happy to assist if needed. EPIC (talk) 17:15, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

@EPIC, noted. Thanks.-- Tumbuka Arch (talk) 10:15, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

I happened to notice that you were desysopped for cause on another wiki some years ago [1]. Although I'm inclined to grant this since it was quite some time ago, I'm going to place this On hold pending discussion. EPIC (talk) 18:15, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

@EPIC: Yes, old story, time of immaturity. I believe that after 10 years of what I have done, the lesson has been learned as I have gained more experience in Wiki projects. If you consider it appropriate, I authorize you to perform CU revision if pertinent. --Mazbel (Talk) 19:15, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

10 years is probably long enough to learn, so I am granting the rights - I don't think a CU is needed given the amount of time passed. EPIC (talk) 21:35, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Ammarpad would like to return to adminship. Please grant permanent, community is large enough now and needs more local admin support. Voting has completed with full support here BnHamid (talk) 18:17, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Done OK - since the request meets MVR and considering that there are other permanent administrators on the wiki, I think it's enough for permanent. EPIC (talk) 18:31, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request reinstatement as an admin on Western Armenian Wikipedia. I have previously served as an admin for multiple terms and am seeking to renew my adminship. The original voting procedure can be reviewed here, supported by the unanimous consensus of the most active Hyw Wiki editors in support of my adminship. If reinstated, I plan to address vandalism, oversee the verification of news and sources, and enhance Wiki outreach to local communities. --ShahenWasHere (talk) 08:51, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I am seeking to renew my administrative role on the Western Armenian Wikipedia. Having completed previous terms, I am committed to continuing my contributions through translation, supporting new editors, and refining content. My primary objective is to advance the preservation and promotion of Western Armenian language, history, and culture via the Wikipedia platform. The Western Armenian community has demonstrated strong support for my reappointment, underscoring their confidence in my ongoing efforts. I am eager to enhance my contributions and improve my performance in this role.--Սեւան Դանիէլեան Մկրեան (talk) 09:30, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

• I understand your frustration, but I don't think it would be a surprise to you that this is Not done. We can't remove permissions from users unless the community has explicitly voted to remove them, in case of inactivity, or in emergencies. So, unfortunately you will have to bring up your block with the srwiki admins since we also do not have authority to intervene in such issues on projects where there are local administrators who can do so. EPIC (talk) 08:29, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Since I have lost the motivation to edit Zh WikiNews and no longer want to be active in the WMF Wiki, I request that my rollback privileges be revoked. Thank you. 78-Yellowcat (talk) 14:34, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Local administrators at zhwikinews have the ability to remove rollback rights. Therefore, you will need to ask them, so I am closing this request at Not done. EPIC (talk) 14:36, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

ok. 78-Yellowcat (talk) 14:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Over the past few years, I have not been active in the Wikimedia movement due to many other commitments. Having those rights may become a liability to me and the community if my account is compromised, especially for id.wikipedia where I have interface-admin rights. Therefore, I'd like those rights removed from those wikis (sysop on id.wikibooks, sysop on id.wikiquote, sysop on id.wiktionary, sysop and interface-admin on id.wikipedia).

@EPIC, Pls see: here. --M/ (talk) 15:53, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Since the removal was disputed, I have restored the rights for now and placed the request on hold until this has been clarified. Sorry for the inconvenience - I was not aware that an admin has to make the request. EPIC (talk) 15:55, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Usually it is not necessary, any trusted user can make a removal request here, provided that stated conditions are true. You can see yourself that this is a logged admin action and therefore the flag cannot be removed per policy but only upon a community non-confidence vote or further inactivity. Thank you. M/ (talk) 15:59, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks; I checked the log but somehow I had misread it as 8 February, not 8 August. Maybe I'm too tired. Anyways, Not done then - appears the inactivity policy is met for now. EPIC (talk) 16:16, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

@EPIC @M7 Sorry for the inconvenience. I had read the "user contributions", and they said last contribution was around 9 feb. I didnt read the "registri" page. Sorry again! Ashoppio (talk) 16:30, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Serbian Wikipedia is known for pushing right-wing politics. You can see this article in the newspapper addressing that issue. Many administrators on that project, including Ranko, reject the fact that Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia. They act as if Wikipedia is a government-run project. Therefore, they can't help but advocate for values that are in contrast to the principles of Wikipedia. What's even interesting, many of them have been blocked on English Wikipedia for causing trouble there. So essentially you can tell that Serbian Wikipedia is run by outlaws from English Wikipedia. They barricaded themselves on Serbian Wikipedia and turn the project into a little fortress. If you want this project to live on, you must at least relieve these administrators off their precious rights, or otherwise you risk the project turning into an impregnable fortress of nationalism.--Lookeetch (talk) 10:38, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Well, unfortunately, unless the community has explicitly voted to remove the rights, in emergencies, or in case of resignation, we cannot strip users of their permissions. Should this de-sysop vote be successful, we could remove the rights, but until then there is no action that can be taken by us. EPIC (talk) 10:42, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Well, you just let a bunch of renegades take over the project. You could really pay attention to what is going on there. It's in the interest of the project. There will be many more cases of people seeking justice here. Mark my words.--Lookeetch (talk) 11:01, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Stewards' role is to enact consensus, not serve as arbitrators for the global Wikimedia community. For cases where local procedures fail, the global RfC process can be used to collect input from the cross-wiki community or propose global bans (such as in the case of Croatian Wikipedia). ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 11:56, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

In this case, local procedures are failing. A few administrators have usurped the projects for their own needs. As for other users who are not involved in the administration, they are constantly terorized by them. As is the case with Zoran Filipović.--Lookeetch (talk) 12:10, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Again, this is not the venue for this kind of allegations. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 12:38, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Where is it, then? Sooner or later someone will have to put the maddness of those administrations to an end. They are a real manace to the project. Once outlaws, always outlaws.--Lookeetch (talk) 13:06, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

  Hello Zoran. Yes, that's right, all those admin removal nominations of yours are pretty much pointless and unfounded, they witnessed no meaningful activity and your announcements posted on the local admin noticeboard didn't attract other people's attention at all. نوفاك اتشمان (talk) 21:39, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

• They did not attract the attention of other people because no administrator posted a notice on the front page and invited the editors to participate in the discussion and vote.Filipović Zoran (talk) 21:58, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

For the same reason as above I also have to mark this as Not done. Outside of community consensus, resignation or emergencies, we cannot be removing users from their advanced permissions. So, you will need to open a local vote of confidence at srwiki. EPIC (talk) 13:01, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello steward EPIC, that's the LTA Velimir Ivanovic/Kolega2357. Feel free to consult this section as to why he's mad at me since yesterday. :-) نوفاك اتشمان (talk) 13:09, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. OK, Not done in either case. EPIC (talk) 13:19, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

@EPIC As checkuser on Serbian Wikipedia, I would like to, please, request for all the requests made by Mr. Zoran Filipović to be disregarded. This user has had numerour issues with bunch of different users (including myself at certain points of time) and every time if it does not go his way, he goes ballistic and starts requesting removal of access to specific admins or users wherever he can. As a source of proof, Dungodung) has been at Serbian Wikipedia and nobody has ever had issues with him and the only reason why Mr. Filipovic has had issue with him is because he is, very clearly, obsessed with statistics and numbers to the point where he will do whatever it takes to "get to the top".

If you could, please, disregard his requests, that will be greatly appreciated. Боки ✉ 18:26, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

please remove sysop permissions because it was granted after the nomination had been open for only 8 days, which is against the policy. The voting policy states that "voting must continue for 21 days." I contacted the bureaucrat @Avicenno: who granted the permission, he agreed to remove it because he did not notice the policy.--Faisal ^talk 17:04, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

I think generally we would remove the rights in cases like this, but I'm also a bit unsure given how long ago the voting happened. I could check with my fellow colleagues, however. So I will keep this on hold until a decision is made. EPIC (talk) 17:14, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm very hesitant to remove admin permission which were granted two years ago, just because of a formal mistake back then. If we did that, multiple arwikisource admin permissions probably needed to be revoked, I see multiple requests for admin / interface admin permissions closed in less than 21 days e.g. [3] [4] Johannnes89 (talk) 17:27, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, the sysop rights should be revoked from any sysop (including me) who obtained it in less than 21 days. The Arabic Wikisource policy states this. Bureaucrat Avicenno said that he did not notice this and agrees to remove the permissions. they can open a new nomination for 21 days according to the policy.--Faisal ^talk 17:50, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Just my opinion, why not have a local discussion on collective desysop of these users? If community has a consensus, it would be a good argument to desysop, or otherwise, it would end up in any kind of modification in the RfA process. However, that is just my suggestion. The decision is with the stewards. ─ Aafī on Mobile ^(talk) 18:07, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Agreed – this isn't the place to have a general discussion disputing that. SHB2000 (t • c) 21:29, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi @فيصل,

Given that most admins on Ar Wikisource, including yourself, were granted admin permissions without adhering to the 21-day period specified in the policy, why are you specifically requesting the revocation of NANöR's admin rights? Nada.FA (talk) 22:41, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

@Nada.FA: As I mentioned in my comment above "the sysop rights should be revoked from any sysop (including me) who obtained it in less than 21 days." it is not about NANöR only. Please read my comments carefully. thanks.--Faisal ^talk 00:48, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

@فيصل, The request mentions only NANöR, why didn't you include yourself in the original request? You should be careful and include every admin involved in the matter. Nada.FA (talk) 06:20, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

There is NOT any Voting Policy in ar.wikisource the page you have mentioned is a request for adminship page not a policy. It also linked to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship (Q4048254) wikidata item. In this page you can see a red link to missed policy (1st link). The page has instruction to bureaucrats how to close the requests. Our bureaucrat may believe that these instructions are not mandatory, so he closed the requests for a less than 21 days. There is no objection to his actions until you wrote this request so it is consensus from Arabic Wikisource community to our bureaucrat actions. 🇵🇸 حبيشان ^talk 12:28, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

I would be surprised if @Avicenno agreed to desysopping half of the project's admins just because of formal errors which happened years ago. Can you provide a link to your discussion @Faisal? We would need public approval by Avicenno to even consider this. If a crat makes an error while granting permissions and asks the stewards minutes/hours/days later to correct it, we will do this no questions asked, but acting years later on a formal error wich affects many admins seems excessive to me. Anyway stewards are discussing this internally and will follow-up in the next couple of days. --Johannnes89 (talk) 06:42, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

@Johannnes89: I communicated with @Avicenno outside the discussion pages on Wikipedia regarding the removal of admin permissions for those who obtained it in less than 21 days, and I ping him for confirmation. Also, this formal error could change the final outcome of the nomination, as it is an impactful error. I have a question: what's the issue with opening new nominations for each admin (including myself) for 21 days according to the policy, and letting the community decide in the end? Yes, it's happening years later because the bureaucrat who granted the permissions admitted he didn't notice the 21-day requirement.--Faisal ^talk 08:46, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi again @فيصل,

The following statement is not true:

"it's happening years later because the bureaucrat who granted the permissions admitted he didn't notice the 21-day requirement"

According to your nomination, you asked to overlook the 21-day requirement, and the bureaucrat asked you to wait and consulted a second opinion from Alaa.

Alaa stated that:"In the absence of a project policy regarding the nomination period, the stewards' policy for granting admin rights in any project is exactly 7 days. After 7 days, regardless of whether there are participants in the voting or not, if there are opposing votes, the period can be extended based on the user's preference. In my opinion, since there are 5 votes in favor, and most of them are active in the project, the rights can be granted after 7 days."

And therefore you were granted the admin rights based on your request to overlook the policy. After that many admins were granted the rights on Ar Wikisource with same manner. Why do you want it to be applied now by revoking many admins rights, and mentioning NANöR specifically? Nada.FA (talk) 11:06, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi again @Nada.FA: your comment is incorrect. Please do not misrepresent what happened during my nomination to support your argument. This is inappropriate behavior. After 7 days of my nomination, I pinged the bureaucrat Avicenno, and asked him "As you are the only bureaucrat here, is it possible to close the vote after the one-week period?" Avicenno the bureaucrat responded "Yes, the nomination will be closed after a week." When he confirmed this to me, I wrote him a reminder to close the nomination based on the response he provided. I did not ask to overlook the 21-day requirement because I was not aware of it, and I didn’t even know that the policy existed since it was approved just 22 hours before my nomination started. I hope the point is clear: "any" admin who obtained their rights before the 21-day period was wrong. I thought that only Nanour's nomination contained this mistake, so I made the request, but it turned out that there were more cases. Therefore, the rights should be revoked from any admin who obtained it before 21 days, including myself. The matter is simple; the important thing is to apply the policy to everyone, not just to one user and not others.--Faisal ^talk 12:16, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello @فيصل,

1. Please do not focus on my behavior. I am merely addressing an issue that, in my opinion, threatens the sustainability of the Arabic Wikisource, as your request to revoke the admin rights of a significant number of administrators could have serious implications, and might waste volunteers capacity for another round of nominations without proper justification.

2. After 7 days of your nomination you asked the bureaucrat to close it. At that time there was no policy for the nomination period. Apparently, there is an ongoing improvement in this area just now.

3. The bureaucrat told you: yes it will be closed after 7 days, but then he explained that "Requests for admin rights are usually closed after two or three weeks, not after one week, as that is too short a period to agree on a policy, let alone a nomination." He asked for a second opinion and Alaa explained the previously mentioned approach in projects without a policy for nomination peroids but he also explained that it is up to the project's bureaucrat to decide.

4. As @حبيشان explained, the 21-day period is currently only mentioned as an instruction for the bureaucrat, not as a formal policy. Since your nomination process did not establish a policy, it has been left to the bureaucrat's discretion. You requested that your nomination be closed after 7 days, and this practice has been followed ever since (correct me if I am wrong).

If there is an Ar Wikisource policy that wasn't applied during the nominations that followed you, please share them, I might missed something:) Nada.FA (talk) 15:05, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

@Nada.FA: Of course, I should focus on your behavior because in your previous comment, you incorrectly translated my comments from Arabic to English to support your argument. I hope this isn't an attempt to take advantage of users who are not proficient in Arabic, as this is inappropriate behavior. Anyway, the current discussions are not about the "nomination period" at all, which remains 21 days as per the established policy for years. Once again, you are incorrectly describing what is happening in the discussions "in Arabic language." It is focused on what the criteria are for a user to be eligible to run for adminship, what the criteria are for a user to be eligible to vote, and what the conditions are for removing admin rights from an inactive admin. Anyway, the policy is clear that the nomination should last for 21 days. There is no need to repeat the same points in every comment so that the stewards can read the comments smoothly. Your opinion is clear, and so is mine. The decision is up to the stewards.--Faisal ^talk 15:41, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi @فيصل,

I appreciate your concern. I really have no advantages here, as anyone can translate the Arabic text and verify the content for themselves. I agree let's wait for the stewards decision since there's no established policy. Regards. Nada.FA (talk) 16:53, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

@EPIC & @Johannnes89: I'm really sorry for commenting in between but these continuous heated arguments are not helping here. Why not just reject or put this request on hold, in its current form and ask the ar.wikisource community to have a local discussion on their RfA procedure (to know if they are okay with all of these people being admins or if they want a desysop of all because this is not an individual case and has a larger impact). A new RfA is just a waste of time given that these people are already admins. An ar.wikisource 'crat could make up a new request here afterwards they have any consensus. Just my idea because I felt this board has become like the congested Batla House market. _signed, Aafi ^(talk) 18:19, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Not done Since this is not recent, you will need to establish community consensus for removal. — JJMC89 (T ·C) 18:23, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

• Hello, remove their administrator access, as they didn't make any logged sysop action within the last 2 years: "Imajte na umu da se korisniku automatski oduzima administratorski status ako za dvije godine nije preduzeo nijednu administratorsku radnju." https://meta.toolforge.org/stewardry/shwiki?sysop=1 --نوفاك اتشمان (talk) 02:26, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

  Done with thanks to them for their service. EPIC (talk) 02:35, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

  Thanks. نوفاك اتشمان (talk) 02:44, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, the same as in previous requests still applies, with the exception of self-requests we have no authority to remove advanced rights outside of local consensus or emergencies. We act on community consensus, so in this case there needs to be a local discussion, until then we cannot proceed with any of these removals. So Not done until then. EPIC (talk) 08:29, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

The community is not allowed to participate in the discussion and vote on my proposal to remove admin rights, because the same administrators against whom the proposal was raised delete it. Filipović Zoran (talk) 08:39, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello again Zoran, you've been leaving the Serbian Wikipedia 6 times this month alone (consult the sections "Одлазак на одмор"), and, as far as I can tell, neither attempt of yours was successful, nor permanent. Also, your current, provisional and partial block was implemented per consensus reached on the local admin noticeboard, after you repeatedly abused talk pages and other namespaces intended for discussions; while you may get a more serious block later on. Until then, feel free to edit the main namespace (aka articles), as well as non-Wikipedia and various non-talk page namespaces. نوفاك اتشمان (talk) 12:14, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

• Done. EPIC (talk) 22:27, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
