Revocation of Fungster (Wiki Creator)

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Per self-acceptance of behaviour - not revoked under self request. John (talk) 17:44, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

User: Fungster ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki Creator Reason: This request is made in my capacity as a user. After an IP address vandalized Meta earlier today, User:Fungster suspiciously wrote this comment on this talk page, basically implying that his IP is the one who did the vandalism (therefore him). In light of this, I don't think he has any place to continue to be a wiki creator, as wiki creators must be users who are trusted. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 16:30, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * And if my right was removed, I will never apply for this right again. Instead, I will apply for rights such as translation administrator or rollback. Fung ster (contribs - email - CA) 12:14, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Now I know why I applied too early to be a wiki creator. Similar to Bonnedav where he/she has registered more than half a year before applying as a wiki creator. the next time I will request as a wiki creator is when my sister stops vandalizing (that will be possibly impossible) Fung ster (contribs - email - CA) 12:42, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

User: RhinosF1 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki Creator Reason: I'd like to help out with Miraheze a lot and understand the procedure regarding wiki creation. I have 2 wikis myself, one which I am working on and one which I am about to start adding to soon. I have also been helping out with Phab tasks and moving them into the correct places. I know a bit about Python and have worked on some IRC & mediawiki bots.

Additional comments: I'm RhinosF1 in most places (GitHub, WMF projects, IRC, discord)

Amanda Catherine (Wiki Creator)
User: Amanda Catherine ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; block log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki Creator Reason: I would like to help out more on Miraheze and I understand that more wiki creators are always needed

Additional comments: I've been on the fence about whether I wanted to put this out here for a couple of days now, and I've ultimately decided to go for it. I've been a member of Miraheze in good standing for approximately a full consistent year now. Despite having a few periods of inactivity due to personal issues, I believe that I am still able to volunteer at this basic level.

In the interest of full disclosure and transparency, an essay regarding my history with Miraheze can be found here. However, as that is entirely history, I will not discuss the contents or the context of that essay here, but I'm putting it out for anyone who may want to read it. Amanda Catherine (talk) 00:10, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Comments/Questions
Are you under 18? If you are, we want to see some very young volunteers on Miraheze, and maybe if this is continued, we could outrun the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and sign an appeal to John. I am under 18 too. --Znotch</b>190711</b> (Contribs - My wiki - CA) 17:23, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it's OK for her to become a wiki creator if the community thinks she's trustworthy again. Personally, I am not opposed to it, at least.-- 09:31, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I feel that's an inappropriate question because it is personal information. I will not disclose my age, besides stating the fact that I am a legal adult. Amanda Catherine (talk) 17:27, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Votes

 * While I do think she's been helpful on phab and other places for months, I wasn't around back when she had some issues with the community, and thus I don't think I'm in the position to judge whether she has regained the community trust. Therefore, I would like to keep myself abstained on this topic.-- 09:27, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * It looks like a clear oppose to me. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 11:35, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * OK, thanks for your clarification.-- 13:39, 16 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I don't usually comment on non-advanced user rights requests so this act alone shows the strength and angle I'm coming from. I'm completely ignoring the history here, it's irrelevant to me. It's a case of both sides baiting each other where both sides carry fault and neither has the morale ability to go "yeah well you did x" because the side saying that, did something equally as bad. Amanda has been fairly active both community and technical wise, I have full trust in her ability to handle wiki creations and she always pushes the understanding of obscure, unwritten or unclear policies, guidelines and behaviours. This is an action I like as it increases and enforces accountability. I do not believe she will abuse the ability, neither will she use them against the written policies since she is such an advocate of clear and written word. Further with recent changes, there is even less risk with wikicreator privileges than in the past - so even if I had doubt, the doubt would not be a major issue for me. John (talk) 12:43, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Uh, both sides? Then what's your view on the fault the community side had back then? Could you tell us in detail?-- 13:39, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * If you review the history, my views are made clear there. In summary, members of the community and Miraheze system administrators chose to provoke conflict, create unnecessary drama and chose to take escalatory steps instead of dispute resolution, listening and responding appropriately. There was a choice of "us v them" mentality instead of a fostering inclusive community vibe, where everyone is equal. John (talk) 15:41, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * helpful on phabricator, seems to know how things work. I trust this user won't do anything stupid with the tools. Also able to help with french Spanish requests, which is even more helpful to the already small team and a helping hand is always welcome. User:RhinosF1 - (Quirc) (chat (on meta) ) · CA 20:37, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, why do you mention French requests? According to the userpage, the user does not speak French. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 05:58, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Corrected. Silly me. User:RhinosF1 - (Quirc) (chat (on meta) ) · CA 06:29, 17 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I would like to say yes, I think she could help, but I do not feel able to give my opinion in this situation. She has had a problem with the community in the past and I have not been at that time. I do not know the user very much to say yes or no. -- Dark Dragoon  (talk)  10:04, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I have no concern about Amanda's sister had disruption in the past ago, anybody were make the mistaken, nobody else are perfection, as long as the person knew how to learn and reform their bad behavior. Amanda seen for me are experienced, and I think is eligible to be volunteer.

 * Although we do need more wiki creators, My strong oppose means one thing: User:Amanda Catherine says that "Despite having a few periods of inactivity due to personal issues," I don't think a user full of personal issues should be a wiki creator, as Miraheze is growing bigger and wiki creators who are inactive for a week or so should be removed from all rights (except for autoconfirmed) in my view. I cannot tolerate wiki creator candidates in this way as some new users who don't know the internal structure or Miraheze should have their wiki requests approved sooner. --<b style="color:blue">Znotch</b><b style="color:red">190711</b> (Contribs - My wiki - CA) 17:19, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The personal issues that I experienced in the past have been resolved for now, and so they should not affect my ability to be a wiki creator. Besides, while we do need more wiki creators, we have enough who are prolifically active that it's not the end of the world if I happen to need to take some time off again. This isn't adminship or stewardship where extended inactivity is discouraged. Revoking advanced rights after just a week of inactivity is unreasonable and we would end up with far fewer, not more, users with advanced rights under that principle. Considering your inappropriate question above, and your questionable behavior elsewhere, this will be my last interaction with you. Amanda Catherine (talk) 17:27, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I do agree with Amanda that revoking wiki creator after one week is an absurd proposal, as users cannot be expected to be that active at all times, wiki creator is a volunteer position after all. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 18:07, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

 * I have thought about it better and I have decided to give my support to the user. I see that it is quite active in Phabricator, so it could be helpful to create wikis. I hope my change of mind is not frowned upon. ✌ -- Dark Dragoon  (talk)  17:39, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
