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.

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.

 * 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)

RhinosF1 (sysop)
User: RhinosF1 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: I'd like to apply for sysop even though I'm new because I've noticed how small the sysop group is and I think I could be a good extension to the current team. During recent issues with vandalism and where things required a sysop-attention there can be a long wait for sysop attention when I've been around and could have been helpful but had to wait for a sysop to turn up which was in cases hours later. Additional comments: I also have been helping Miraheze on Phab and Github and I use this nick on IRC/Discord/Wikimedia/Github and probably a few more things if you want to check on anything I've done elsewhere or ask me anything.

 * 3)  Personally I feel that wiki creatorship on Miraheze is the role that should be "no big deal" because there are only two policies that they have to follow, and neither is very complicated. However, that being said, looking through this user's CentralAuth, I don't feel that they have enough global activity at this time to justify my support. I'm happy to support anyone for wiki creator as long as they show some significant global activity somewhere, but having only 39 edits to the wiki where they are the most active (and the wiki where they hold bureaucrat and sysop permissions) doesn't quite inspire confidence.

Revocation of MacFan4000 (sysop)
User: MacFan4000 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

General information
Type: Revocation Group: sysop

Reason for request
Since 22 May, after sysadmins took away his sysadmin permissions because of a investigation according to the logs MacFan4000 has not had any edits or any actions on Miraheze at all. Meta needs active administrators not people who seem to have left the project. --DeeM28 (talk) 18:15, 8 August 2019‎
 * Plus, this user has advanced user rights and one time I asked him what is going on on testwiki.wiki, and this reply from RhinosF1 already stated that he isn't active anywhere.
 * That was based on pure stats from Phab, Meta, IRC etc. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 08:44, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Comments
I feel like users who have advanced user rights who are inactive on wikis should have their rights immediately revoked if stewards as a group establish a consensus which opts out of the current admin inactivity policy (set up at 28 June 2019) as 6 months inactivity. There have been cases where users got removed from wikicreator rights due to inactivity (especially this diff), so I think this request for removal should prevail. --znotch190711 (temporary signature) 08:34, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * There is absolutely no need for Stewards to override a local wiki's policy, if it functions and if the administrators are active. It is out of the question that the Meta admin policy would be "opted out" by Stewards. Wiki creators have been removed based on the local policy, nothing else.

 * If I understand correctly what you're saying, I think CN is more of a discussion board rather than one where rights are handled. In my opinion, unless we have a specific page for revocation, it should be done on the same page as appointment. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 08:27, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

 * That is true, but we can't mix up global rights and local rights, as they are separate and have different requirements (i.e. Meta has a specific revocation rule, while CVT doesn't). Meta administrator and CVT are completely separate rights and thus shouldn't be mixed together. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 08:34, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Comment Do you plan on being active on Meta on a regular basis? Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 19:48, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes I fully intend on being active on Meta regularly. In fact the main reason I am requesting this is so I can be of more help around here. --<span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 20px lightskyblue, -4px -4px 20px HotPink;font-weight:bold;">Examknow ● talk ● contribs 23:35, 28 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, after waiting a few days to consider this, I've chosen to open the voting with an oppose. I've decided to oppose this as in the short time this user has been back from an extended wikibreak where they had no contact with anyone on wiki, despite saying they've 'been helping out around here lately' I've yet to see them successfully help a single user on wiki. I've advised this user on IRC to wait for a week or two and make sure you show your face. When asked whether I'd nominate them days before this request, I again told them to wait a bit, to which they have not done which shows an eagerness similar to that of the current steward application of another user. This is enough for me to show this user is not ready for Wiki Creator yet although I think they could have the potential in time if they are careful. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 19:06, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I believe you told me to be active for a few days which I have and it is not like there is much to do other than create wikis except for the occasional comment on the community noticeboard. If you would like me to help out more than I am right now I really need somebody to tell me what to help out with other than to wait for a new post on the noticeboard. --<span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 20px lightskyblue, -4px -4px 20px HotPink;font-weight:bold;">Examknow ● talk ● contribs 19:11, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * If you'd have waited a week or two and actually successfully helped someone on Phab/IRC/Wiki then I'd have been supporting you. You say in the application you have 'been helping people around here lately' which is a lie in my opinion. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 19:16, 30 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I think it is very serious to say that someone is 'lying' especially as you are an administrator on this wiki and have more responsibility than normal user. --DeeM28 (talk) 08:31, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Apologises if it came across as harsh. I probably shouldn't write so quickly and concentrate. Not the best choice of words. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 19:45, 1 September 2019 (UTC)


 * I understand the other comments here but wiki creator is made to help by helping people with creating their wikis. I do not understand why help on Phabricator is important for a wiki request. For me it is important that a wiki creator knows policies and has been around at least a bit which it seems that Examknow has. But I do have one worry and question which is why I voted weak, can you talk about why you are blocked on Wikipedia? --DeeM28 (talk) 08:31, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
