My request for temporary admin status at ladwiki

1. Thank you for deleting that not-in-Ladino page.
2. I asked here for community support for temporary administrator status. The Spanish version of that request said,

Los administradores (Wikipedia:Bibliotecarios) no están activos aquí ahora. Estoy trabajando en la limpieza de los artículos en el alef-bet hebreo. Pregunté en Meta para derechos "Administrador" de duración de un mes. Voy a hacer lo que me tiene que hacer. Gracias por su apoyo.

If that is not good Spanish could you help me fix it? Thanks. StevenJ81 (talk) 21:56, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

@StevenJ81: No problem. Sure

Los administradores (Wikipedia:Bibliotecarios) no están activos ahora.

Sysop needed on wikt:br:derez-uheloc'h

Hello. Sorry for my bad English but I don't speak Spanish.

Could you please have a look to the edit war on the article "wikt:br:derez-uheloc'h" which means "wikt:en:comparative degree". I put the long Breton adjectives' list in an appendix page : "wikt:br:Stagadenn:Derez-uheloc'h e brezhoneg" and explained everything on the talk page : "wikt:br:Kaozeal:derez-uheloc'h" i.e. Wiktionary is a dictionary and the articles should be about the word and should not contain about grammar studies, or word lists. Thank you. --86.214.104.100 14:34, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

template import request

{{helpme}} Hi,

At this rfc discussion at wikimedia forum during my discussion to seek proper clarifications, I had to use en:w:Template:specify and en:w:Template:which.

Undersigned kindly requests your help in importing en:w:Template:specify and en:w:Template:which templates from en wikipedia to meta.

• You may want to use special:import for this help task.

Request access to my ApprenticeFan account to unblock IP address 203.215.120.17

Hi Matiia, I was getting shocked that you declined my request and became completely unfair. I'm going to ask my request ApprenticeFan (talk · contribs) to give access editing in English Wikipedia, and I'm a regular contributor there mostly familiar on reality show articles such as Survivor, The Amazing Race and Top Model. I'm going to continue editing for The Amazing Race 27 in more than 36 hours. ApprenticeFan (talk) 09:42, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

@ApprenticeFan: It's not unfair. Meta admin can't globally unblock IP address, your request was for being unblocked on Meta-Wiki (the unblock template is used for requesting to be unblocked on Meta-Wiki), so It's normal that your request was declined. Matiia (talk) 13:37, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the spamming on mediawiki.org!

It seems like it's getting worse, do you have any idea what's going on?

What future IdeaLab campaigns would you like to see?

Hi there,

I’m Jethro, and I’m seeking your help in deciding topics for new IdeaLab campaigns that could be run starting next year. These campaigns aim to bring in proposals and solutions from communities that address a need or problem in Wikimedia projects. I'm interested in hearing your preferences and ideas for campaign topics!

Here’s how to participate:

• Learn more about this consultation
• Vote on and submit new campaign topics in the AllOurIdeas Survey
• Discuss campaign topics and ask questions on the IdeaLab talk page

Take care,

I JethroBT (WMF), Community Resources, Wikimedia Foundation. 03:34, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

The last rollback

This guy (blanked 2 pages minutes before) made some edits before, I can't judge if they were vandalism or not. Dan Koehl (talk) 02:00, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dan Koehl: Hi, they were not vandalism, but I've added !!FUZZY!! to those translations, since they are outdated after the edits by that IP address. Matiia (talk) 02:24, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Undersign

Hi! If you compiled this message, please, please, please use ~~~~ every time! Using a substituted date in the time of another zone and in the form of another language is not appropriate. If this sould be done automatically by message delivery, then it's not your fault. I am not familiar with the mechanism. Bináris ^{tell me} 08:09, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Five tildes actually, see GMD. I closed phabricator:T121209 as this was your error, not the software's. I suppose you copied the message which had been posted on some wiki page and forgot to reinstate the tildes? Nemo 13:02, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Yes. Thanks for letting me know, I'll be more careful the next time. :) Matiia (talk) 16:09, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion vandalism Shavat rayonı Xazarasp rayonı Qaraqiya rayoni kaa:A'zerbayjan Premyer Ligası 2014-2015. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.113.200.40 (talk) Matiia (talk) 19:02, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

I've moved Qaraqiya rayoni to Qaraqiya rayonı, since coping and pasting is inappropriate. I won't delete Shavat rayonı, Xazarasp rayonı & A'zerbayjan Premyer Ligası 2014-2015, but if another GS/Steward thinks that those pages should be deleted, I won't oppose.

Deletions at iu.wiki

Greetings! While doing cleanup in iu: wiki You (perhaps, accidentally) deleted some valuable articles made by iu:User:KitikmeotHeritage. It seems, he has good knowledge of Inuit. I do not understand Inuit but at least phonetically and grammatically his language looks like Inuit (he simply used latin script instead of native but I think we should not be picky when somebody adds content to so slowly growing wiki) so, I hope, You could restore his articles. Hugo.arg (talk) 09:55, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

P.S. Not he but she and this is prove that it was a serious contribution [46]. Hugo.arg (talk) 09:57, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

@Hugo.arg: Ok, I've restored the pages. Matiia (talk) 14:38, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Sysopship

Hi! In my previous adminship request you told me that I "must start doing maintenance before becoming an admin and not after became one". Could you look at Special:DeletedContributions/Ochilov (as I do not have an access) and tell me, whether I am ready or not. I am asking just to analyse my work and chances to become an admin + comments. Thanks in advance! --Ochilov (talk) 14:32, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

81 requests for deletion (and which were deleted) since then, 80 of them the same day. I think that you should do maintenance for a few weeks more before requesting adminship, although this is only my opinion. :) Matiia (talk) 15:20, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Okay, thank you, will be working. I rely on your opinion ;) --Ochilov (talk) 15:29, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
