The 2011-12 confirmation will begin on February 7, and will finish on February 27th.

The 2011-12 steward confirmations are a good opportunity to check if we are still happy with our current stewards. To make the process as smooth as possible, here is how things are organized.

To comment, please log in with an account that has edits (on any wiki) before February 1st 2011. During the 2011 elections, please mention if you are unhappy with one of the persons listed below and why. For example, you may mention inactivity. Inactive stewards, as stated in the steward policies, will lose their steward access.

At the end of the elections, the current and newly elected stewards will consider complaints left on this page, and choose to remove stewardship as necessary taking into account both the comments left by community and their own perspective and understanding of the job. All stewards will go through this process after each election.

  • Personal info: I used to be a rather inactive Steward, but in the last few months I got active especially with checkuser requests. Apart from that a little bit of action in many different Steward activities: granting sysop, bots and global-ip-exempt rights, working back deletion backlogs in small wikis, global blocking and locking, oversight actions. On a more personal level, being able to see deleted pages has enabled me to set interwiki right in cases where a page had been moved without creation of a redirect. I'm one of the oldest still participating Wikipedia editors (first edit in March 2001), and through my bot work one of the most multilingually active.

  • Personal info: As someone who was elected last year, this is my first steward confirmation. I believe I have been a sufficiently active steward this past year, promptly responding to requests on both Meta and IRC. A partial record of my steward statistics can be seen on my userpage at User:Avraham#Steward activity. I would like to continue to serve the greater wikimedia project community by continuing to volunteer as a steward for 2011. Thank you for your time and consideration.

  • Personal info: I'm not as active as I once was before I worked for the Wikimedia Foundation, and being in graduate school, don't anticipate very high activity as many other stewards. However, I will certainly avail myself as needed and participate in other steward activity, backlog cleanup, etc. I'm grateful for the trust that the community has given to me and hope to continue to be worthy of it.

  • Personal info: My general statement isn't that different from last year's : as a steward, I sometimes make a few mistakes but I think I'm not doing a bad work overall.
    For those not aquainted to me yet:
    • My home wiki is frwiki, the french Wikipedia. I arrived in nov. 2004 and became a sysop there in march 2005. I also worked there as a bureaucrat for 3 years (jun 2006 - sep. 2009) but gave up the bit so I could spend more time on other things.
    • I manage a bot named Loveless (see [4] and [5])
    • I became steward at end of 2006. I don't really do steward requests on wiki but rather use my availability time to take care of the emergency people tells us of on IRC (#wikimedia-stewards). My public steward activities (everything but Oversight and Checkuser) are viewable on this page ; those local to meta (like right changes) on this one.

I have also been answering questions and helping in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel & continued doing SWMT and antispam work as in the past. Additionally I do follow and try to help in the stewards' and checkusers' mailing lists where we also receive requests. If the Wikimedia community agrees, I would like to continue serving as steward.

  • Personal info: Even though I've been less active in 2010 than previously, I think I've had enough steward actions to still be considered active. In my opinion, I've done a relatively good job in the past three years, so I'd like to keep my steward rights, if the community agrees. I'm usually hanging on IRC and most of the times I'm ready to help out.

  • Personal info: Last year I haven't been as active as the year before, but I do feel that I've made a contribution as a steward. My work was mostly concentrated on the request pages, but I could also be found on IRC doing SWMT work. To be honest I don't expect being able to spend much more time on Wikimedia in the future. Nevertheless, I'd like to remain a steward and help out whenever possible.

    Note that during the elections I will have limited internet access.

  • Personal info: I consider myself very active, as I'm online on IRC at (usually) >= 12 hours a day, and most of my steward-contributions are related to IRC-reported stuff (mostly SUL lock/hide/oversight and oversight, but also denying a lot of requests, so it won't show up in the logs). I think it's exciting work, and I'd like to continue with it. Laaknor 09:58, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was discussed with other stewards, and they agreed that they would also desysop you. Laaknor 21:21, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I had two stewards that I talked to who both disagreed with your action and said you refused to talk to them. Stewards must follow policy and cannot make up new ones. Policy clearly said 7 days minimum to discuss and it was clear that there was a unanimous agreement to throw out the vote based on impropriety. It doesn't matter how many people you say agree with you, you have no right to act that way as a Steward. You do not make up policy or act when you have no authority to act.

  • Personal info: I was probably more active in the first half of 2010 than in the second half. Over the last year, I have mostly focused on rights changes, global blocking of IP addresses and locking accounts, and quite often I'm on IRC and try to help there. I hope that my rights and knowledge were also useful for Polish community and the Kashubian and Silesian. If the community trusts me, it is my great pleasure to continue serving as a steward.

  • Personal info: Some days ago, I've prepared a brief "history" (in italian language) of my involvement into WMF project for Wikimedia Italia. Being a Steward since 2006 has meant to me a whole world of contacts, and I hope to continue this service. While I am usually not on IRC, I monitor meta.wiki activities and RfP page. I also can be reached on meta user talk page, that is set to E-mail me when changed.

Comments about M7

edit
Ktr101 intervened where Ottava was concerned, on Wikiversity, as an SPA. Ottava has acknowledged canvassing on IRC, and it's been possible, on Wikiversity, to identify floods of !votes that appeared immediately after Ottava filed otherwise obscure processes. From the timing, the Ktri101 !vote is explicitly related to the M7 interaction on Talk:Ottava Rima, a few minutes before, and it is practically certain this was because of IRC with Ottava. Respected users are not immune to being canvassed. After edit conflict with above, I see "someone else showed it to me." In other words, he was canvassed, but by a presumed friend of Ottava, not by Ottava himself. --Abd 02:48, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What the hell? I'm not a single purpose account and please don't ever accuse me falsely of something like that again. It is not like I just did nothing and suddenly popped up to give an opinion on him. I have done edits there as I have seen fit, with really no rhyme or reason behind them. Additionally, no one has ever said that we cannot vote soon after any sort of interaction anywhere. I also have his talk page watchlisted, so it would've eventually occured that I would have seen this in a day or so. I just happened to get a suggestion in a chat with another friend that basically said, "Look what happened to Ottava. That is funny..." I'm not going to contest this further as this will just end up with more useless bashing. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:20, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the argument is that you're a SPA in general, Kevin, but that your attention has been drawn to such things via IRC (and that you'd made the choice which I refused when approached with regard to the wikiversity issue, which was to comment on a project which you are not familiar with.) sonia 05:17, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove Remove In view of their comment right above, in fact. Guido den Broeder 23:43, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment CommentBlocks (or unblocks) here are a matter of meta admin, I think. Should not confused with steward policies, there was not an emergency, nor any need to apply pressure. --M/ 23:45, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Ehm, no, thanks for pointing out exactly what is wrong in your thinking. Blocks and unblocks are a matter of the community. Users are not cattle, for administrators to do with as they please. Guido den Broeder 00:04, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    My initial suggestion to Ottava Rima was to be read as an attempt to have him reflect upon some harsh positions towards other users. The block is indeed exaggerate, but from his part the single "remove" statement is too little: in a collaborative environment the conflict level should remain as low as possible. I'd rather appreciate a somewhat remissive request, instead I think that is quite unpolite to use actions in the intervening time of the reconfirmation page for trying to set a point. --M/ 00:06, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    In elections, it is important that existing harsh positions get known, so that OTHERS may reflect on them. This growing habit of attacking any opposing voice needs to stop, I've seen it lead to the downfall of several projects already. Guido den Broeder 01:07, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Harsh opinions are fine in elections, as long as the people back up their statements so others can make their own mind up. Otherwise it just becomes a he said she said. Like everything in the wiki world, if you can't source what you are saying, you shouldn't be saying it. -Djsasso 01:09, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Let's test that. Give me a link to the rule that says so. And next explain why you made all kinds of ugly comments here and then refused to provide diffs. Guido den Broeder 01:15, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am actually on the wall here. M7, altering the block as a way to support it is in bad taste to me and an inappropriate use of the block function. Instead of escalating the situation (which an additional block did), you should have been finding other ways to deal with the matter. Indef blocking an already indef blocked user changes nothing in their supposed "poor behavior." Tiptoety talk 01:00, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, Tiptoety, M7 reduced the block from "infinite" to "indefinite." There is a difference, see [9]. He was clearly attempting to negotiate an early end. However, I don't see that he -- or you -- have been aware of Requests for comment/User:Ottava Rima. When the community allows such massive disruption to continue without addressing it, eventually someone will address it, and it may easily seem excessive. --Abd 02:28, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, you raise an interesting point. I didn't notice the change from "infinite" to "indefinite." Though, I'm interested if that was the primary intent of the block alteration. Tiptoety talk 02:36, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Tiptoety. M7 was attempting to negotiate unblock conditions, which was quite proper. My guess is that M7 began to smell a serious rat, and, in giving up on negotiation, wanted to be consulted before an unblock. WizardOfOz was in over his head, and had just caved on Guido den Broeder. Ottava is not some newbie, and his behavior is not ordinary "poor behavior." See the RfC. --Abd 02:59, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Personal info: Hello. Before anything, to clear any confusion, yes I'm the user who used to go by the name "drini", but I changed it due to off wiki reasons.

    I've served community another year as steward and humbly request your comments about my steward work™ (and as always I also welcome comments about my other duties, feel free to drop them in my user talk to keep things organized).

    To those reviewing my work this year I acknowledge I was less active over 2010 than previous, and the reason is that I'm on the final track of my PhD work and that sadly took wiki time away. However I should be more active soon as I close that cycle. I also had a few of bloopers mostly due to the username change (after many years the brain gets hardwired) but I've got things sorted out now.

    I'd be thrilled to listen your recommendations and comments but mostly I'd be honored if you would grant me your patience and trust for another year. es:Magister Mathematicae 00:26, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm also a enwiki sysop, while I don't consider it anymore a homewiki (I quit editing there as I became steward). I have sysop on many wikis due to historial reasons but fact is that I'm inactive in pretty much all those wikis you mention. But I agree with you, I'm no perfect and certainly don't claim to be. I can provide explanations on why I did those changes I did, and certainly there's a remark about non controvertial actions on the guidelines...es:Magister Mathematicae 01:33, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the quick response. I honestly think you are a good steward; that is why I hope you {{keep}}. I would never demand you to be perfect, since nobody is, but there is some actions that can be reviewed. For example, this is also a non controversial request, since there is a community decision, but the steward preferred to request other steward to do something that he could do. I'm not saying that you did anything wrong with that actions. I'm sure they were all done according to the rules, but conflict of interest is something that should be avoided when there is the minimum possibility we think on it. I admit the possibility that I'm wrong, since I am very less experienced than you. Sorry if I am, but that is my opinion. By the way, if you are inactive as a sysop on those projects, why do you still have the flag? Thanks again.” Teles (Talk @ C G) 01:57, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Because some projects don't desysop due to inactivy and.. who knows? some day it may be useful to have the bit in order to help on something they may need. es:Magister Mathematicae 02:21, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Es.wikipedia is between the projects I mentioned above. Are you inactive on es.wiki too? You have some flags there and your contributions and sysop logs are very recent with more than 2000 edits last month. Wouldn't it be better to ask another steward to perform steward's actions on this project? Regards.” Teles (Talk @ C G) 09:25, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm not, but I'd be glad to explain you any particular entry you may have doubts about, in my talk page (although there is only one instance over whole past year (2010) and this one I'll explain here: there was some task to be done on eswiki relating deletion of tousand of pages, which was flooding RC. We were looking for a solution and I was doing a quick check to see if the flood flag would help (therefore first changes on [10]), and then I compared it with the actual bot flag. Local bureaucrats cant' set flood flag, by the way. After seeing that flood flag wouldn't work but bot flag did, I immediately removed the rights. The 2 entries on [11] for 2010 correspond to the same issue (notice the same date and timing). The explantion is that I just had changed my username and I was used to the earlier one, so by inertia I wrote my earlier username and it was until I did it I realized I made a mistake. I also made a reference to this memory slips on the opening text for this page.
Now, I think the page you quote so much states: stewards should use their judgement to avoid conflict of interests, and in every case you point I've exercised my judgement not to be in conflict of interests (which is much more than being careful "not to look in COI") , I've never been involved in controversial steward actions on my home (or any other wiki for that matter) where it could be argued that using my steward tools was in conflict of interests.
In that regard, I've been much more careful than the "follow-the-letter-not-the-spirit" than you think. Stewards could use their tools in COI on any wiki if they're reckless and judgement is necessary to avoid it anywhere. The active wiki thing is a rule of thumb (very sensible) but bottom line is: judgement is more than automatic rule following.
I really thank you for assuming good faith on me anyd my judgement, and anytime you have questions about why I do something (steward or no steward related), feel free to drop me a message and I'll be willing to explain myself. I'm not the kind of users that denies or hides things, nor the kind of user that refuses to explain misunderstandings. es:Magister Mathematicae 15:54, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. My apologies for poor judgement. I understand you don't trust me, I appreciate you letting me know. es:Magister Mathematicae 08:02, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A steward is one who is supposed to be above all petty politics, a reserved servant who is trusted to objectively act. It is a given up of a lot of freedom for some power as that is the only way to ensure that the power is used properly. One has to choose between the two and that is all that is really at issue. The more authority you have, the more intimidating your actions can become, and intimidation is the number one way to destroy open communication and collaboration. I hope you understand that. Ottava Rima (talk) 16:30, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, you have a profund misunderstanding about wiki roles. A steward position is not a power position, au contrarie, it has a lot of restrictions. You're conflating ability with power. I do have the ability to lock an account, but it's not a power I have nor it gives me more authority.
It's misunderstandings like yours that cause some users to become involved in power plays or games, furthering the misconception that a 'service position is an authority one.
The steward role is a pure service one, and more so the fact that the mantra is "stewards don't decide" (unlike other roles like bureaucrats or sysops where they have more flexibility in criterion application)
Finally, stewards don't stop being regular users, it's a fallacy to pretend that stewards only act a stewards and nothing else. That's why I leave quite clear on the opening that this is about my steward work (and not, for example the way I close a deletion on a particular wiki).
Howver, you don't trusting me is a perfectly valid reason for your comment (remembering we're not voting on this page, I avoid calling it "your vote"), I just want to point a misunderstaning and flaw in your reasoning. es:Magister Mathematicae 19:40, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Personal info: 2010 was my most active year so far as a Steward. I mostly set bot and sysop flags and help delete community-tagged pages on small wikis. I'm not on IRC as much as I would like due to my real job blocking IRC starting in early 2010. If confirmed, I will continue to help set flags and help bring down the backlog of deletion requests on small wikis.

  • Personal info: During my first year as a steward, I have been often available on various IRC channels, especially those in the CVN, where I helped people to fight (interwiki) vandalisms, and on other technical matters. I have found this experience exciting and productive, and this reinforced my will to assist the community with the same purpose and determination that I had when I was elected. So, I am here again, ready and willing to offer my time and my help to the community for another year. --Melos 17:48, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Personal info: Hello everyone, since I have been elected last year, this is my first confirmation in the steward role. During the past year, I have mostly used the steward rights to fight abuse of all kinds. The steward rights helped me much to solve dozens of problems including abusive user-names, cross-wiki vandals, spammers or notorious copyright violators and their sock-puppets. Besides, I've been actively helping with promoting users and bots on various projects. Some statistics about my activity can be found here. I'm asking for confirmation of my permissions because I would like to continue serving Wikimedia community in the steward role. Please feel free to comment. Your feedback will be much appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, --Mercy 09:36, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I decided to resign from adminship on simple.wikipedia and cs.wikiversity due to recent real-life pressures. Maybe one day I will be back. --Mercy 10:07, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Personal info: This past year, due to university tasks (reaching bachelor degree), I have been less active as the year before. I've done my best trying to help in request pages and wherever/whenever was possible, but my freetime was so short! I hope I'm still trusted and now, that I'm less busy in my real life, I think I could be helpful as a steward. Thank you.

After discussion with Pathoschild, it is uncertain when he had the information or if he received all of the information beyond IRC notification of activity as some of the matter happened when he was away for real life matters. Ottava Rima (talk) 17:49, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Personal info: Hello all. As ever I would be pleased and honored to continue giving what effort I can to the Wikimedia projects. I've had a busy year, and cannot promise any dramatic change in the next. If not confirmed, I will of course understand; if confirmed, I will humbly serve you to the best of my ability for another twelvemonth. — Dan

  • Personal info: I have been a steward since late 2006, and I would like to continue serving the community. I mainly focus on account locking and blocking, rights changes, and helping users in #wikimedia-stewards. I believe I was sufficiently active last year, and I hope to increase my activity this year once I graduate. Shanel 09:22, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    I have greatly enjoyed working with the other stewards, and am glad of the number of excellent candidates this year.

  • Personal info: Hi all. I was urged to create this page already this year. However, I cannot hold steward rights during my following term in the ombudsman commission. I'll, nevertheless, gladly answer all questions and concerns. I don't yet know if I can continue as a steward next year, I might have a full or an empty schedule, I just don't know yet. If I have some time by then, I would be happy to spend parts of it for steward tasks. :) I know that I didn't do much in the past months, this is mainly due to the fact that I'm in the final stage of my PhD dissertation. --თოგო (D) 12:11, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Personal info: This is my first confirmation since I was elected last year. My main activities as a steward concentrate on fighting cross wiki vandalism, spam and sockpuppetry. While for a part of 2010 I've not been as active as I initially intented to be (due to personal circumstances), I am now quite active as a steward again and if the Wikimedia community agrees I would very much like to keep serving her in that role. Thank you for your time and consideration. Wutsje 11:58, 20 January 2011
