[edit] Test adminship 2009

[edit] Ooswesthoesbes for Aeres

Indeed, it looks like I've become inactive here, but there is a reason why I re-apply for my test adminship after all. I've taken over the Ærisk wiki (this) a while ago, but about half of the pages have never been copied of which most are wikipedia and policy pages (which is a hell to rewrite in a language which is not your native one and if your own policies are rather OWTB-style). The main problem is that the original users of wp/aeres have deleted all pages and also have never used namespaces like Wb/li/Wikibeuk:Zandjbak, but more like Wp/aeres/Ærd (Portæl) and Wp/aeres/Aeres Wikipedia Skabloon Gruû. From a list I can tell that there are at least ten pages missing, but I don't know their exact names. (as I have never participated to the test when it was still here). There might also be some large articles that could be usefull. User Markvondeegel seems to be inactive (I've already asked him for help at wikia, but I've got no respons) I don't need test adminship for a long time if I decide to stay away from the incubator - too busy with other things unfortunately :( --Ooswesthoesbes 19:02, 26 January 2009 (UTC) PS. Aeres is written as Ærisk (yet again a spelling reform...)

Done --MF-W {a, b} 10:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks :) I'll let you know when I'm finished. --Ooswesthoesbes 11:16, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Zrs 12 (wp/lkt)

I know the policy states 50 or more content pages, but people have created pages on this test wiki (which I am maintaining), and I have no way to delete these articles. I need to clean the test up. Also, I am learning this language, so the content will begin to grow soon. I have been on the English Wikipedia for just over a year, so I am not new to the Wikimedia projects. The test on which I am requesting test adminship is Wp/lkt. See the main page here. Zrs 12 21:21, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Oppose for now. The test just consists of the main page (and a vandalism page I just deleted). If there are vandalism pages to be deleted; just put {{speedy}} on them. Furthermore, you state on your user page and here that you are lkt-0 but learning. From my opinion, you should be careful with editing/creating pages as you have such a little knowledge of Lakhota language. Maybe you could attract some native speakers? --MF-W {a, b} 15:52, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Oppose per MF-Warburg. SPQRobin 16:02, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Ooswesthoesbes (wn/li, wb/li)

Now both wb/li and wn/li have 50+ pages and 2+ users and the orthography problems at wn/li have been solved, I think it's time to request test-adminship (for the third? time). If there are any objections; here's the place to post them. --Ooswesthoesbes 12:19, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Adminship

[edit] Angela

I made myself an admin temporarily so I could fix the logo and delete a little bit of vandalism (logs) but I'd rather that was made official through community support rather than me just making myself one, so I'm applying here. My reasons for wanting this are that I think this could be a very interesting wiki for the Foundation and has a lot of potential in ensuring the project as a whole continues to expand and to move towards meeting its goal of providing content in all languages. I also love being involved in new wikis, which is a large reason I'd like to be active on this one, especially in its early stages. I'm an admin on the English and Simple English Wikipedias and on Meta and the Foundation wiki, and formerly an admin on the Arabic and Korean Wikipedias, and Wikisource.

[edit] Timichal

I requested a temporary adminship (see it here because there wasn't any administrator here and I wanted to do some general cleanup. Now I request a "regular" adminship because I found out I really like the idea of Incubator its capability of helping to grow lots of new Wikimedia projects; and I'd like to help it a bit. I'm a technical kind of person - that means I'd do cleanup, RC watching (I do this already with Henna's VandalFighter), creating new templates, categorizing, et cetera. I'm an admin on the Czech Wikipedia already, but I have lots of spare time so I'm easily able watch both - my Wikipedia and the Incubator. — Timi chal • 06:36, 27. Jun 2006

[edit] Daniel (Dbmag9)

I have user accounts at each of the Wikimedia projects in English as well as a few in Latin and German, althought I do not contribute to most other than Wikipedia, Meta and, of course, Incubator. I'm interested mainly in the beurocratic aspects of the project; organising, writing policy (based on consensus, of course), and making sure that things are in the right place. I helped out quite a bit with the logo choosing process. I'd like to be an administrator to help with vandalism clearing, organisation and helping people learn to use Incubator, but most of all just to be a part of this great project right from the start. Thank you very much.

[edit] Node ue

I am, to the best of my knowledge, the originator of the idea of having "test Wikis" (see [3]).

I am already administrator at nv.wp, na.wp, got.wp, and yi.wikt, and I was in the past admin at Moldovan Wikipedia.

Also see my contributions at these various Wikis: Incubator, en.wp, yi.wp, sh.wp, mo.wp, etc.

I've also helped several lost pages find homes.

[edit] Pro

I have only had positive interactions with this user, and I trust him. Jon Harald Søby 13:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anti

Oppose, I consider him a troll based on Meta experiences. — Timi chal 07:57, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Timichal, thank you for your opinion. I would certainly appreciate it, though, if you could be more specific. --Node ue 05:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Oppose, node seems to be a controversial figure in Wikimedialand. It would also be nice to have some explanation of why he is a past admin on some wiki.—Nat Krause 01:46, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I think it speaks to my trustworthiness and good-ness of character that I am trusted enough by The People In Charge that I still have sysop privelages at several Wikis, and that I am able to edit all Wikis without using a proxy.

As to the situation at the Moldovan Wikipedia... well, in a word: flashmob. See m:Proposals for closing projects for an example of this. Hordes of Romanians showed up in a short time to vote for its closure while hordes of Russians showed up to keep it open. Before that vote though, there was little or no Russian involvement, and really the Romanians don't like me much (because I want to keep mo.wp open, and supposedly I am insulting dead people by writing in Cyrillic). --Node ue 05:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Oppose Simply I do not know him as incubator writer. There are many persons in incubator who write a lot, for example Tarasevich and other belarussians. They have real experience and worked with us all the summer --Yaroslav Zolotaryov 07:08, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Yaroslav, most of my contributions are prior to the move to incubator. I would like to get re-involved in the community, and I anticipate that the need for people to help with maintenance will grow rapidly, and it is not unlikely that one or more of the current administrators will become inactive in the future (given that most of them do not write for Incubator-Wikis). Rather than find ourselves bogged down with problems because we didn't think this through in advance, I think it would be better to have the forces ready when the torrent comes. This Wiki is still relatively undiscovered by non-Wikimedian vandals (that is, so far all vandals seem to have been political-based), but you can be assured that, especially since it is described some places as aa "test" and is the carryover from the Test-wp subsection of meta, that it will eventually come to have bigger problems with vandalism than many mature wikis do. I do plan to write more for Incubator, but I am not incredibly skilled at any of the languages here. I created Okinawan Test-wp, most of the writing there is mine, but it is poor because I have a small knowledge of this language only. I also created Skandinavisk Test-WP for unified Scandinavian conlang, but it got deleted for some reason. --Node ue 02:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

By the way, I invite Node UE to the Siberian wiki - it is biggest from recently created wikies with biggest community. We really need experienced editors, bots and administrators. So if he was able to help Moldavanians without knowledge of Moldovanian, maybe siberian wiki is good place when he may be usefull and have glory. --Yaroslav Zolotaryov 16:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Oppose for the moment. Can you please explain why you wish to have administrator status here? Administrator status is not simply a mark which says "This user is special" but is a status which merits extra responsibilities. You have not listed anything that you want to do here which cannot be done as a normal user. Also, the current contents of your user page contain ideas which, at the moment, go against the Incubator's policy and aim. I don't want this to seem like I am opposing for some kind of heresy, but if you act upon these ideas at the moment you will find yourself out of favour. Dbmag9 10:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I anticipate that the need for people to help with maintenance will grow rapidly, and it is not unlikely that one or more of the current administrators will become inactive in the future, as happens on all Wikis. Rather than find ourselves bogged down with problems because we didn't think this through in advance, I think it would be better to have the forces ready when the torrent comes. This Wiki is still relatively undiscovered by non-Wikimedian vandals (that is, so far all vandals seem to have been political-based), but you can be assured that, especially since it is described some places as aa "test" and is the carryover from the Test-wp subsection of meta, that it will eventually come to have bigger problems with vandalism than many mature wikis do.

And obviously, it's not allowed to simply act on one's opinions when they are opposed by the community. If a sysop does this, this is grounds for proceedings against him/her. However, I'm not exactly sure how any of what my userpage says is against the "aims" or "policies" of Incubator. Perhaps against your own ideas. --Node ue 02:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I checked, and Incubator:Policy is edited almost exclusively by yourself, and its talkpage has little-to-no comments from others. When a policy is proposed, one must solicit the views of the community, and actively point out the fact that there is a proposed policy, for example using MediaWiki:Sitenotice. Otherwise, when said "policy" goes into effect, it's not so much a policy as it is a fatwa. I have made some suggestions on the talkpage, and I encourage you to add a link to that from sitenotice. --Node ue 02:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Also, I think it's worth it to note that one reason I proposed myself is that it seems most of our current administrators showed up on the scene after Incubator was created. I have extensive expertise with many languages (I'm not saying I "know" them, but I have worked with them). I was a bit surprised to find out that we have an entire page dedicated to "lost pages". I can identify the location for every single one of them quite easily. The fact that I am an admin at such diverse Wikis should give me some credit -- Nauruan, Navajo, Gothic, Yiddish... and that's just the start (I have adminship at various other Wikis as well, but not using the same username; I will merge them all after unified accounts are here). I wasn't granted these positions just because. I was voted in at na.wp and got.wp; I was made admin by Gangleri at yi.wikt, and at nv.wp I requested it in the absence of a community. It seems likely that I have meaningful contributions on more Wikis than any other user. --Node ue 02:52, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I have replied to your comments on policy at the relevant talk page. The reason that it appears to have been edited almost solely by myself is that it was imported onto here from Meta, and almost all further content edits were done by me whilst discussing the changes on IRC with other members of the community. It is a good idea to advertise the policy in the Sitenotice; it is already on the Recent Changes page, but may need more visibility. The comments that I was refering to on your user page are those relating to test creation and deletion. You say that you will not act upon your own beliefs but those of the community; I think that it is hard for the best of us to separate the two when acting. Dbmag9 13:53, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Abst

Neutral I have had mostly positive experience with Node ue, but I think he is too polemic, too controversial and too unpredictable to be granted these rights. But he is right, it was him who conceived the test wikis. Steinbach 16:17, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SPQRobin

I saw that there are 3 admins, and any of them aren't very active. You can see at Category:Maintenance:Delete and Incubator:Community_Portal that there is much to do. I am active on the Dutch Wikipedia, and when I am an admin here, I will be active here too. SPQRobin 18:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cbrown1023 talk

I really like the idea of the incubator, the fact that you can see new projects spring up into their own wikis. I have recently become more active on the Incubator with general cleanup and feel that this will become easier with the admin tools. I am already nominating old and lost pages for speedy deletion or finding homes for them. I am also working on our image status with Robin and he could use another admin help. :) I am not new to Wikimedia projects (as seen by my meta page) and would like to help out the Incubator.

Currently I'm test-administrator of the Aeres Test Wikipedia. Since the proposal was rejected the pages need to be moved to aeres.wikia.com. This is not the reason I ask for permanent adminship. I've had a good time at the incubator and I would like to be here a little longer. I also ask for permanent adminship to help out with the prefixeproblems etc. -Markvondeegel 20:35, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Comment If you mean with "prefixeproblems" moving Test-wp/ to Wp/ : that is already done. Or do you mean moving unprefixed pages to Incubator:Lost pages? SPQRobin 21:10, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I am wondering that as well. But could you also point out what contributions you've made outside of the Aeres Test Wikipedia? Cbrown1023 talk 23:38, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

      - If you translate on betawiki it effects all wiki's and not only the Incubator. And nobody is allowed to edit the English interface, cause it will make many translation from for example English to Silozi wrong. --Ooswesthoesbes 10:28, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
        
        It's a bit confusing: If you translate the interface on Betawiki, your translations will go to the source code (link see below), so the translations are aviable on all wikis. Test admins on Incubator have the technical ability to edit the interface in all languages (i.e. to override the standard messages defined in the MediaWiki sourcecode/translated via Betawiki, but they should not do so (but normal admins can do this as well and they are allowed to do it..., e.g. the sitenotice). --MF-W {a, b} Visit IRC! 12:27, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Danny B.

I am sysop on wikt:cs and bureaucrat on q:cs: and testwiki. I mainly take care about technical stuff such as accessibility, cross-browser compatibility, semantics, skinability, validity, i18n issues and other stuff like that as well as creating customization gadgets (CSS/JS). That usually involves editing of pages in MediaWiki namespace as well as editing of other protected pages or sometimes some necessary deletions or protections of tuned and tweaked esoteric pages. Thus I'd like to request for sysop rights to have ability to fix stuff here. Thank you.

If by any chance I'm not enough suitable for permanent adminship, please move my request to temporary, since I'm involved in Wn/cs incubating, where already some moves/deletions would be necessary as well as we'd need to set some global styles (which actually might be slightly against the "He also can't edit the interface." rule, although it's pretty easily solvable).

— Danny B. 17:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

~~Oppose.~~ Though all of your edits were probably good/very good edits, you haven't made that many edits and none of them were for general incubator maintenance. And, this seems to be not the intention of your (future) edits, so I'd propose to make a request for test-adminship, as you already suggested. Test-adminship currently has completely the same rights. The only thing in the policy about using test-adminship for more general edits is "If you do something outside your test, be prepared to defend your actions or you may be desysopped.", with other words "you need a reason" and I guess you would not need to worry :-) SPQRobin 19:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Changing vote to "support", he could convince me too :-) (IRC and talk below). SPQRobin 17:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Well, hard to do technical stuff without such access, thus hard to show. ;-) Unfortunately you're not right saying none of the edits were for the maintenance ([4] [5] [6] [7] [8]) however I agree I don't have so many edits yet (although I have hundreds of such-type edits on other projects). The major reason is in the first sentence. I don't know what lead you to guess the intention of my future edits isn't to do this kind of stuff widely, there's a huge pile of unoptimized and bad code around here which needs clean-up. My involvement in n:cs: is just coincidence. I'd feel playing unfair to community, if I rapidly gained a bunch of edits just to have some enough count, my view was my work can speak for me. If it doesn't speak for me enough, then OK, but I think simple editcount (which is pretty easily gainable) shouldn't be over the content of edits. By the way: I almost never submit half-done version of technically oriented edits which also makes my editcount small.
  Anyway, thank you for useful feedback, my little feedback back is: Please update the expectations then - I thought I have met all the criteria, if I knew I had not, I wouldn't apply for sure. I'd appreciate if you could specify more preciously what would you expect from me before requesting the rights so I can try to fulfill your criteria, because my goal is to make as many meta-wikis as possible better accessible, cross-browser compatible, legible and good enough looking in all skins and also friendly to non-English speaking people (which all is from my point of view important) and extended rights help with fulfilling of this goal a lot. Not saying it's not doable without them though of course...
  Thank you.
  — Danny B. 20:23, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Oppose. You are a trustworthy Wikimedian, of course, but you have only done a few edits here (to less for adminship). And, what exactly do you want to do? Why are css/js customization needed? --MF-W {a, b} 20:20, 17 January 2008 (UTC) Changed vote to Support. --MF-W {a, b} 14:37, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for feedback too. As I said above, I'm aware about low number of edits.
  To answer your question: just an example: having styles in classes instead of in style attribute because a) it makes page shorter → easier legible source & saving bandwidth (→ faster to load → less annoying for users with slow connections) b) having inline style forces the view of such part of the page (typically template) but since most of the stuff is created in monobook style it doesn't mean the same look will fit in other styles beside it even don't have to work as expected in other skins → page gets less or even not accessible.
  Another example I just see - wanted to get the "→" char, but it isn't in edit tools below. The edit tools block actually isn't so much friendly for other languages at all. Now I'd expand it to allow people of other languages used here for incubation to have more comfort, but I can't. Etc...
  But OK, let's play on count, if you consider it as important. I don't mind, if it will help me to get closer to fulfill my goal. How many edits would you consider sufficient? I'll try to find that many technical-based problems here and fix them as much as I'll be able to.
  — Danny B. 20:54, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
  - Cute. But wouldn't that be better in MediaWiki sourcecode so also other wikis can benefit from it? About edit count: if you answer the question I just asked with that it'd better be in Incubator because of..., I'll change my vote to support. It's just I saw no reason for the things you want to do and then saw you small editcount... --MF-W {a, b} 21:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
    - I was just writing the following add-on, so I cut'n'paste it here without change and will continue underneath.
      STARTJust wanted to add, that one of the reasons my editcount number is low also is, that my solutions from other wikis are being used here (and elsewhere) - eg. the current code of Recent changes has been developed by me on w:cs: and Timichal brought it here. So there's not so much to improve there since it already has been done on w:cs: (as I said I rarely submit unfinished stuff). :-) Also a bunch of templates for Wn/cs has been copied from w:cs: where I made them. Etc...END
      So I guess that pretty much answers your question, if I understood it correctly. Anything in any wiki (unless it's visible only for sysops) is reusable on other wiki, furthermore stylesheets and scripts (newly also gadgets) are easier reusable (and much more easier to change) then stuff hardcoded in source.

[edit] Desysopping of Brion VIBBER and Angela

I propose the desysopping of Brion VIBBER (Talk | contribs) and Angela (Talk | contribs). Brion is just sysop because he has set up this wiki (he's a developer, like everyone knows). He can be sysop on every wiki whenever he wants, so he doesn't need sysop rights for technical reasons or something. Angela is an inactive administrator and bureaucrat (12 edits in 2007 and 28 edits in 2006). SPQRobin 16:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Support. SPQRobin 16:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
~~Support. --MF-W {a, b} 16:36, 22 January 2008 (UTC)~~ The policy clearly says: "inactive administrators may have their access removed. [...] "Inactive" means no edits in the past six months." But Angelas last edit was on 21. August. So 6 months would be over on 21. February. --MF-W {a, b} 13:47, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Support Brion, Oppose Angela (don't forget the logs: [9]) --Ooswesthoesbes 16:46, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

If you look at the logs, you can see she deleted a lot of pages, but on the same day.
Reason: / Some background information: When I asked for sysop rights (at that moment, no one was active), I gave Category:Maintenance:Delete (containing +500 pages) as example why I needed the rights. No one reacted on my sysop request because no one was active. So I asked to Angela to look at my request, and (before she gave me the rights) she deleted the +500 pages in one time. SPQRobin 17:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, fact is she has deleted 500 pages, which mean over 500 sysop actions in one year. She's active. --Ooswesthoesbes 18:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

So you are saying: 500 sysop actions in one day => 500 sysop actions in one year => active. SPQRobin 18:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Jao. Otherwise most things will be inactive (especcialy wiktioanires and wikiquote: zh.wikt is one of the largest, almost everything is bot) --Ooswesthoesbes 19:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

What have bots to do with this? Anyway, we're getting off-topic :-) SPQRobin 19:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Unclear was it what I said... Well, see recent changes there? Every edit is Volkov Bot so now and then you'll see one editor eding lots of pages. This does Angela too. (Sorry English teacher broke her back, I can hardly speak English today) --Ooswesthoesbes 19:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
I don't have any problems with this, but would like Angela to be contacted first. Cbrown1023 talk 17:39, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for not even telling me about your proposal! I'm not inactive here - I'm just spreading my time across a lot of wikis (about 6000 of them) so my edits and deletions aren't regular here, but I am still following what's happening with this wiki and am available to step in when there are admin backlogs (as you can tell from the 1000 pages I deleted last year). Angela 17:27, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I wanted to tell it you, but I thought maybe you weren't watching your talk page here, so I didn't know what the best way is to contact you. SPQRobin 18:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- You could use Special:Emailuser - I have my email enabled on a lot of wikis, and certainly on those where I'm an admin. And my user page here links to two other user pages that have my email address and other contact info on them. I'm not hard to find. :) Angela 03:41, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I and MF-Warburg propose this:

Brion will be desysopped (there is a request; meta:RFP#Incubator)
Angela stays admin

I guess other users would agree too. SPQRobin 14:12, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

True. --MF-W {a, b} 14:17, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AGK

Greetings all. I stumbled across Incubator a while back, but I neither stayed active, nor created an account, until yesterday—and I'm glad I have :) This project has a nice community-feel to it (perhaps the newborn-connotations of "incubator"?) and I'd be honoured to be a part of it.

Unfortunately, I'm not a talented linguist, and I wouldn't be effective as an editor with any of the in-testing projects. However, I'm a long-standing administrator on the english wikipedia, an administrator and bureaucrat on some other Wikis (including with the Wikimedia Foundation), and a general Wiki enthusiast, and an experienced troll-slayer. I know I can be effective as an administrator here on Inc., and thus I've decided to offer my services to the community at large.

It is rather regrettable that it is necessary to offer myself to you with no prior experience; however, the majority of the work I look forward to participating in is administrator-only (e.g., Special:Unusedimages, quick-deletions, site messages improvements, etc.). Thus, I am forced to nominate myself based solely on an honest desire to improve this project and my experience on other sites. If any consellation is needed, I can detail further indications of trust on other projects; but, rather than ringing off a list of hats, I'd prefer to answer any questions. Feel free to list them below ;) All the best, Anthøny 16:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't support this request because you are very new to this project and have few edits. I'd wait a few days, and then use the "backdoor": ask for test-sysopship (then you can help with delete etc, but not edit messages). SPQRobin 16:32, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I understand you concerns; however, I'm angling towards the same vein as other now-active administrators, such as Cbrowne, who visited the site, found they liked it, but couldn't do much, and said the the community "folks, I can help here, but I need the sysop. bit"... The community trusted him, flagged him up, and he got set on improving the project. Hopefully I can do just that: get flagged up, and help improve incubator with the tools entrusted to me. Anthøny 18:17, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Dear Anðøný. I think you should prove you could be active and try again then. --Ooswesthoesbes 18:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Purodha

Reason: Translating various texts, part of which are system messages in the MediaWiki namespace, requiring admin rights to be edited.
My background: I'm already translator at Betawiki & Omegawiki, active at meta & most WMF wikis, working on toolserver, a MediaWiki & pywikipediabot developer, operating bots, admin of the Wikipedia of Ripuarian languages & non-WMF KrefeldWiki, plus more. --Purodha 19:46, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Translating is done on Betawiki. Or do you mean Incubator-specific translating? Then please give examples where this is needed. --MF-W {a, b} 14:09, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, the Incubator specific stuff, found on Incubator:Translation project in the list as italic links. It cannot be done on Betawiki atm. --Purodha 15:51, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Really? But I don't think that admin rights should be given out only for translating four or five messages (by the way, what would you do except de and ksh?). You can also ask an admin to add them. --MF-W {a, b} 16:41, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
  - Sure can I - only wanting to avoid unneccessary labour for others. See my language list for what else I can do. Btw. - don't know how much that applies here: 'translating' sometimes means simply copying and pasting from elsewhere. I've 'translated' hundreds of Babel-templates that way in most Wikipedias. :-) --Purodha 11:20, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
    - I have already been thinking about this "problem". Giving admin rights is not a good idea; better would be to give the "editinterface" right to a group other than sysop (autoconfirmed, or a new translator group). Or we can use templates to use in the MediaWiki messages (and use the system like template:test wiki/translations. Or maybe there's a better solution... SPQRobin 17:14, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
      - A special group with "editinterfeace" right was imho the straightfowardmost solution. Although I would not mind having more rights, I would likely rarely use them, at least atm. --Purodha 23:02, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

I would like to present a candidature of user Timpul for Incubator administrator. He was very helpful with Silesian Wikipedia, when this project has been tested here, later he helps with Gagaus language, now with Wymysiöeryś. As I know, he know also other rare languages, and know English much better than me. I supposed it doesn't make any sense for him to request test adminship for each language, today and in the future presents here, with which he is/will be working. He has a experience as an administrator in Silesian Wikipedia [10], and I have to say he is doing great job. I hope he will accept this nomination and will become an administrator here.

[edit] John Vandenberg

Hello. I am an administrator on many WMF wikis, most importantly the Multilingual Wikisource which acts as the incubator for new Wikisource projects. I would like to spend more time on this incubator in order to assess the pros and cons of incubating projects here, in part to compare with our system on Wikisource, and also to provide meaningful response to meta:Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Beta Wikiversity. I feel that while I am looking around here, it would be helpful if I can also get my fingers dirty with administration that I see needs doing. I do not feel comfortable requesting "test-administrator" as I dont have a specific project I wish to focus on. I have 60,000 edits to WMF projects, with 4,000 edits to non-English projects. If I become inactive, I am happy to request desysop. John Vandenberg 15:37, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Neutral. Why not, but just having registered and requesting adminship is not so nice. --MF-W {a, b} 16:05, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, sorry it has been a while for me to reply.
  I realise the request here is a bit out of order, but this would typically fall under the "temporary sysop" which this wiki doesnt have provision for. The "test-administrator" doesnt quite apply.
  I am not intending to, or likely to, perform strange decisions. I'm mostly interested in reviewing how the administation has been done here in the past, by viewing deleted pages, or order to access how well it works as an incubator. My deleted contribs here will show I have already had opportunity to use the tools in a reasonable matter, and I constantly see more by watching the RC feed, such as copy&paste moves, deletion request,blankings. John Vandenberg 14:19, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, i have kind of a problem. I hate it when people have to work harder because of me.

I am active on this project with maintence. Fixing redirects, welcome new users. Nominate unused redirects for deletion. I have made a list with redirects that are cross namespace. Many of them are made when a page is moved so he has a prefix. I am also trying to work with a project robin told me. Many svg here are duplicates from commons. I am making sure local image aren't used anymore and link them to commons.

Placing a delete template on it is fine. It is more easy and fast if i can delete them myself. This unsigned comment was added by SterkeBak, 14:05, 5. Nov. 2008.

Hello,

I would like to ask the comnunety to give me admin rights. I used to edit on a other name (for reason and more info contac me on irc) on that account I had adminrights on Incubator.

I am working on Incubator on a daily basis. I am mostly active with welcoming new users, tagging redirects without a prefix for deletion and patrolling the recent changes.

Oppose Abigor doesn't know the difference between script and language ; but it's not very important (because Abigor can teach himself, if he reads books) : Abigor tags first for deletion what he doesn't understand, without thinking of the result : a kind of vandalism ; and this is very important, because it's his personality (which he can't change, even with book reading) ; if Abigor has sysop rights, he will delete first, whithout thinking after. Strong oppose. --Budelberger 18:19, 19 January 2009 (UTC) (

I know the difference between a language and a script.. But the script is written in a specific language so how do you think I don't understand? If I can't read it but it started with a name that is also a language I will move it into a prefix, that you noticed that it is a script language is only good teamwork.
