User: ~Squiggles~ ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: I would like to contribute, and this seems like a good way to start, i would like to create wikis that have a good and valid reason.

Additional comments: Requesting this right for 4 weeks (1 month) as a trial, then if all goes well, would to obtain this permissions permanently.

 * Comments/Questions
 * 1) Looks like this user only has 5 edits on Meta.  17:04, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) w:WP:NOTNOW. Not familiar with many of Miraheze's policies, and seems to want rights on official projects just to help out. There is plenty to do without additional permissions.  dross  (t • c • g) 17:06, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 3) I will abstain from this RfP as I believe it is not my place to vote on this particular one. Best of luck to the candidate though.  Hypercane  (  talk ) 18:27, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Dross (Rollbacker)
User: Dross ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Rollbacker Reason: As I have been involved on meta for some time now, I would like to extend my capabilities with additional tools to help me in my day to day activities on meta. I have been caught in a handful of situations in which I was the only user online and ready to respond to vandalism and spam incidents. I believe that the undo function which comes with all user accounts suffices for a good majority of scenarios, but for those select situations in which the edit interface either extremely delays response or several revisions make it unreasonable to use such features, it becomes necessary to possess a tool which allows for quick, easy, and accurate reversion.

Additional comments: I'm not looking for any authority within the community, but rather an additional tool for me to continue doing the things I love to help this community. I do hope you'll consider this when presenting opinions.

 * 3) Sure why not.  18:21, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Comments/Questions
 * 1) I don't know this user very well, but his contributions seem okay, so I don't oppose nor support this request. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 18:15, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) I do not feel like the user has gathered the experience to be able to fulfill the role of administrator at this time. There is also no clear indication of what they would do in the role. Reception123  (talk) ('C' ) 19:20, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 3) w:WP:NOTNOW know this user from another wiki, while they have good edits, they are not yet ready for the role of administrator.~Squiggles~ (talk) 20:47, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 4) w:WP:SNOWBALL  22:36, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 5) Not yet. I see lots of good translation work, and a desire to help. However, I believe this user has more to learn in ways of policy and practices before he will be ready for sysop. I say to come back in 2 months or so; in the mean time, perhaps look at other ways to help (perhaps translation admin?) .  dross  (t • c • g) 01:38, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Owen (sysop)
User: Owen ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: As you may or may not know, with the the creation of Miraheze Limited, Labster has recently transferred our financial assets to Miraheze Limited. The board has decided that Owen (John's cousin and board member) is the treasurer of Miraheze Limited and as such will be taking care of the finances from now on. Before, Labster was given sysop rights on Meta in order to be able to edit the Finance page which is a sensitive page that should only be edited by trusted people. As such, to be able to fulfill his new role Owen would now also need this right. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 15:42, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

 * As nominator, clear need for the role. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 15:43, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Needed to continue the transparency. Paladox (talk) 15:49, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think there any reason to oppose or abstain this. 16:14, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Trustworthy, polite, will help in his role. Owen is probably sick of me questioning everything the board do within an inch of its life if I can so he can’t mess much up. :) ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  19:31, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Are you kidding me right now? Frankly, the constant battery of bureaucracy and double-standards of the staff team lately is way out of order. It has been made clear many times before that Meta is intended for the Miraheze community as a whole, and should not be overrun by staff. Owen has no clear need for admin tools, and neither did Labster. Assigning these rights based simply on the principle of being staff is frankly offensive. What other options were considered? I mean,  exists for a reason (but that's not even mentioning the ridiculous mass protection here on Miraheze). As Miraheze is allowed to move to a new phase, let's leave all this staff bureaucracy in the past, and allow Meta to be community driven.  dross  (t • c • g) 23:45, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
