Re:Copyright problem with File:Open Wiki GLAM of Serbia - Logo.png

Hi, can you help me with File:Open Wiki GLAM of Serbia - Logo.png, because I can not find a proper template? It's logo of Wikimedia Serbia's event. Thanks, --MikyM 02:27, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello, can you tell me who created the logo and where you got it from (did you copy it off another web site, for example). If you made it yourself, you can license it under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license or release it into the public domain. If you let me know what you want to do I can tell you how to tag the image accordingly QU ^TalkQu 13:30, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Emailing all admins.. ;)

What I meant to write was that Special:ListAdmins is a list of all the admins, from there look around for someone you see to be reasonably active and email them, obviously emailing all the admins would be a silly idea, especially when you want to keep something as private as possible!

Letter of support to Naples candidature to Wikimania 2013

Hi Qu,

the file I uploaded was sent to me and to Wikimania 2013 jury by Alessio Postiglione, the Assistant to Mayor Luigi De Magistris of Naples, Italy. I can eventually produce the original mail. It is naturally an important document for supporting the Naples' candidature, of which I'm the leader, so could you please not to delete it without prior notification to me? I added a copyright template, please let me know whether is it okay.--Ferdinando Scala (talk) 08:49, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry, I'm not an admin so I won't be deleting anything... I'll make a note on the page that it is pending permission QU ^TalkQu 09:04, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Reinstate of Admin access

Hello, nearly two months back, Mrutyunjay (MKar) abandoned his admin access, which was decided by him only due to some reason. But now at Village pump (in Odia), 4 users including me requested him to be an Admin again. And he accepted. So is this discussion on VP enough or we need to go through RFA process again? If RFA process is not necessary, then please restore his admin access in Odia Wikipedia. Thank you. :) -- ɑηsuмaη ^«T» 09:54, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Another opinion

Hi, QuiteUnusual! How do You do?
I've asked MF-Warburg on this matter, but I would like another opinion.
I posted him this message [2][3].
PiRSquared17 gave his opinion [4]. I answered and explained.[5][6][7]
That was on July 5, 2013.
MF-Warburg gave his opinion on July 7 [8] and Vyom25 [9].
But look this [10]. The non-translator gets the greetings (July 11, 2013)!!!
For what? For opening the "translated" page that has nothing but the copy-pasted English text! ([11][12]
Anyone can wonder around and randomly paste English text on "translation" pages, and get 1000 edits in statistics - but with no single word translated.
This is humiliating for the true translators. Such behaviour must be discouraged.
Therefore, I have only one appeal ("request" sounds too rude, like some "order"):
Please, delete that page. It has no translation at all.[13] An user that truthly translates, does not like to see his name listed on the pagehistory together with the editor that did not translate a single line. The non-translator has (+1.594), while the true translator‎ (e.g. of all text) may get minus bytes, since the true translation can have less bytes - and at the end it may look that the true translator just corrected few words.
I hope You understand my point of view. Kubura (talk) 01:32, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

/Xam redirect

Hello, I saw that you deleted the redirect from /Xam to |Xam at zuwp. The reason I put it there is that people will frequently write /Xam when they don't know about the pipe-template-trick ({{!}}). You will find the same rediect at enwp. It was used, for instance, in the zulu article about South Africa. In case you wondered! All the best, Rotsee (talk) 19:52, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Not a mistake per the policy... no contributions for 2 years; didn't reply to the notification; no comment from the community = removal of rights. However, given that he/she has reappeared it seems reasonable to restore the rights. Thanks for pointing it out. QuiteUnusual (talk) 13:51, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes, I know that this is a slow process, after all it's reasonable to wait some time in case they don't receive email notifications for the talk messages: but this also means that the old lists can be outdated, and should be checked, when removing the rights... Let's hope Toolserver tools work. --Nemo 13:54, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Admin status at Catalan Wikibooks

Hi! Thank you because of your notification on me about my inactivity on Catalan version of Wikibooks. As I told in the tavern discussion there, I have no problem to release the responsability of adminship if there's another user who could carry on. Indeed, I also offered to turn back again to participate and to make some effort in order to revitalize ca.wikibooks, even through as adminship or as normal user.

Hi

I have no problem with your decision regarding Saviour1981, but it is not helpful to close the e-mail function only on dewiki. It is a SUL account. This is already done. He uses the email function on enwiki to send his mails. regards --Itti (talk) 10:36, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Whether I'd like to or not, policy doesn't allow Stewards to global lock in these circumstances. The criteria are laid out in the global banning policy. At the moment none of the criteria are properly met. There's no way to block email access without locking the account across all projects, and to do this requires a global ban.

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decitions

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

Question

Hi QuiteUnusual, As you replied to a user nameted Amt000 in upper section, I have a question. I am using to make some typing in wikipedia pages. I don't save those things but there are some personal things which I edit sometimes. I have a question, Does wiki save those typing? Does wiki save edits which comes after clicking [show preview]? I mean to say which are the edits I shouldn't do if those are completely personal for me.☆★Sanjeev Kumar (talk) 19:25, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Last log in

Dear QuiteUnusual, I would like to know if stewards have access data about the last log in action of the accounts? Thank you for your answer in advance. Samat (talk) 08:06, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

user_touched is the standard database column holding this information and it's only accessible to sysadmins. --Nemo 08:54, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Dear Nemo, thank you for your answer. I realized, it was a misunderstanding because of a translation mistake here. I corrected it now.

Was this process last year only for administrators or for every "advanced rights" holders? From the message it is not clear to me: "Admin activity review", "Your admin status", "administrators' rights review process", but "you are (an administrator / a bureaucrat / a bureaucrat and administrator)". Regards, Samat (talk) 09:22, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

For administrators and bureaucrats, see AAR. --MF-W 20:43, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

see my update re libel information, wikien is adding back info as libel into talk pages where the libel was deleted.

I'm afraid it doesn't matter what is being added; Stewards have no jurisdiction to act. If you have a legal concern and the administrators on en.wiki are not responding, then you need to contact the Wikimedia Foundation. The contact details can be found at Legal and Community Advocacy. QuiteUnusual (talk) 09:17, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Request for WMF to Address Arbitrator Comments I am asking that the following post, by an English Wikipedia arbitrator, User:Roger Davies, be considered by the WMF. I am commenting here because User: Jimbo Wales is the public face and a public voice of the WMF and has an open talk page. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3AArbitration%2FRequests%2FCase%2FGamerGate%2FProposed_decision&diff=642154916&oldid=642151661

I mostly agree, at least that ArbCom is being asked to do too much with too few resources.

First, if ArbCom is being asked to handle off-wiki harassment, then the WMF is placing itself at legal risk. Off-wiki harassment has civil and criminal implications, and should be handled by paid staff, not by volunteer arbitrators. If paid WMF staff finds that editors must be banned, WMF has the power, which it has used, to ban users globally.

The post then lists three areas where “the community has failed”: CU/OS (checkuser – oversight) responsibility; administrator misconduct; community ban appeals. It is true in an abstract sense that “the community has failed”, but the English Wikipedia community, as represented by those of its editors who take part in discussions, is a large, diverse, and fractious community that is not really capable of self-government. The fact that it almost does govern itself is an interesting experimental outcome that perhaps requires more explanation that its failures to govern itself. It is time for the WMF to lead or even to govern (it owns the servers), since asking the community to govern itself is asking what has been proven not to work. With regard to Oversight, in particular, the WMF should take that responsibility on itself, again, so that it does not place itself at legal risk, since the primary purpose of Oversight, which is really suppression, is to remove possibly defamatory or otherwise legally questionable posts. Checkuser supervision requires the same high degree of trust as is placed in the arbitrators, but other than the need for trust, there is no connection. If community ban appeals are a burdensome drag on the arbitrators, again, another group of trusted functionaries may be needed. The WMF should lead, initiate, or if necessary govern, rather than expecting “the community” to do what it has not done.

What the community can see is that ArbCom cases are time-consuming, and that the ArbCom is only able to handle a few cases at a time. In 2005 through 2007, the ArbCom was able to handle a hundred cases a year, until additional responsibilities were shifted to the ArbCom.

I have suggested in the past and will suggest again that the ArbCom should handle full evidentiary cases in panels of three, with the power to issue final rulings, from which there should be a right to request en banc rehearing, but no right to an en banc rehearing. That is my suggestion. Other reform suggestions may vary. In any event, the WMF should take leadership in areas where “the community has failed”.

Wikibooks and Wikidata

As you may already know, Wikidata sitelinks are coming to Wikibooks on February 24. We're trying to coordinate this at d:Wikidata:Wikibooks, but right now as far as I can tell there's very little that is planned out. What do we need to know to make sure that this launch goes okay from the community side? i.e. are there interwiki bots that need to be stopped, can we run bots to remove the interwikis from your local wikis, how do we map your pages to our items, etc. --Rschen7754 06:37, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

an admin blocked another admin illegally

hi QuiteUnusual!

as an admin my IP is blocked by an irresponsible admin Mr Khangul just for the reason i have allowed and unblocked a user who is hard working, keen to develop, contribute in pashto wiki. see this for his countributions: Usman khan's contributions

plz have a look to his work. if you think that he (Usmankhan) deserved to be blocked by Khangul. and for restoring (Usmankhan) was that against the rule of wiki, or i have done something wrong for which Khangul (an admin like me) blocked me from wiki and deleted my pages where i have requested for bureaucrat.

plz take this matter serious and solve the prob which khangul create day by day to new users, and now for admins as well.

you will note that pashto wiki contribution is zero now a day due to khangul's behaviors with users.

best regards

note: my nomination page is also deleted by him. khangul deleted my nomination page for bureaucratship. its against wiki norms and laws.

Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 15 December

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. The general confidentiality agreement is now ready, and the OTRS agreement will be ready after 22 September 2015. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Sindhi Video for those who are not literate with Sindhi-Arablic Script

Dear Steward,

Sindhi language is written in scripts other than Arabic as well. For example, Sindhi language is written in Devnagri script also in India. I therefore had made a video lecture for those who can speak Sindhi well but can't read and write Sindhi in Arabic script. To help such readers, I added the following text on the Main Page of the Sindhi Wikipedia.

Those Sindhi Visitors who can speak Sindhi well but are unable to Read Sindhi-Arabic script, can watch this video to quickly learn reading Sindhi-Arabic Script.

My these words were removed by يوزر:محمد_مجیب unilaterally. I am going to add it once again. This kind of HELP phrase for the users has always been there since I had first-ever initiated Wikipedia in Sindhi-Arabic script in 2006. Since then I was the only administrator taking care of it for several years all alone.

Kindly prevent يوزر:محمد_مجیب to revert this change.

Should you remove their access? The meta community just through out local community decision. Please explain. Thank you. Jayantanth (talk) 16:33, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

This is nothing to do with Meta. Stewards fill the role of Bureaucrats on projects without them and determine how to act. In effectFI am acting as a crat on your project deciding not to grant the bit. For many years we have determined that it is a mistake to have crats on wikis with less than 10 admins. You do not need a crat to grow a community and our experience is that having them on small projects causes problems in the long term due to inactivity.

Thanks for reply. I can understand your problem. But Requests for comment/Removal of bureaucrats in small wikis tell the different story. The Stewards should closed the discussion. They should remove all bureaucrat from small wiki without delay, otherwise give me the access. Jayantanth (talk) 19:19, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

It doesn't work like that. I am not going to grant Bureaucrat rights on a small project at this time. QuiteUnusual (talk) 19:39, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
