[edit] Requests for adminship status
[edit] Maxim (talk · contribs) (administrator)
I'm an admin at Commons and enwiki, and I joined here to revert some vandalism. I've been doing that for the past few months, and another "job" I do is to tag test pages. Now, these pages can sit around Category:Candidates for speedy deletion for over 6 hours, and it would be easier for all if I do it. Also, I'm applying for the bureaucrat flag at the same time, as I strongly believe that on such a small wiki, any admin can do the bureaucrat's job as it's such a little extension. Monobi has applied three days after he became an admin, and he'll certainly do fine; I don't see any problem with me getting both flags at the same time. After some consideration, I've decided it would be better for me to stick with +admin only. There are enough 'crats atm and I don't think I've been here enough to assume that role as well.

- But to be honest, what's the difference? On such a small project, I think any admin can be trusted to be a bureaucrat, as usually there's almost no promotions, renames or flaggings to be done. On the other hand, if because of my experience and time spent here you feel it's best I be an admin for a bit then apply for 'crat, I'm cool with that. Maxim(talk) 16:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Other"
- As I've noted above, I'm not a fan of the "make everyone a 'crat" concept. I've personally told Maxim he should run for adminship, which I'm totally supporting, but not so much for the 'cratship. As I've said above, this isn't a reflection on him, it's just my personal feelings about it. EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:59, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requests for bureaucratship status
[edit] EVula
[This is a request for bureaucratship] For those that don't know me, I've been an administrator around here since November 27, and am an admin on the English Wikipedia, Commons, and Meta (the latter two being language-independent projects like Wikispecies), and am also a bureaucrat of a Wikia project. I'd like to add another active bureaucrat to the ranks here, simply to keep things running if one or two of them are on vacation (as is the case right now).
Admittedly, it's not like there are many RfAs around here, but hey, I figure I could still help out now and then. Who knows, maybe we'll have some sort of massive renaming emergency sometime. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

- But I really think we should set +crat for all admins. This is a small wiki, and bureaucratship here is just a few extra buttons, and we can trust all admins to do it. Maxim(talk) 02:08, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:Anonymous Dissident (bureaucrat)
I think we should, indeed, instead of putting +crat on all admins, have anyone who *wants* to be a crat, and who is actually active, standing, so as to flush out those who are simply too inactive to actually notice this revelation. I don't care either way; I'd prefer it anyway if I could be placed under review, by the small community here, to judge whether I am suitable on a personal basis.
I've been an admin for almost 2 months now, and I am an admin on four other wikis, including enwp and meta-wiki. Over my time on Wikimedia, I have learned the general customs of being around, and, further, while I've been on Wikispecies, I feel I have become fairly intimate with it's unique way of doing things. Therefore, I think I would be able to adequately step into the shoes of bureaucrat.
Finally, I think it may be prudent to do some cleanup... as Monobi has noted on WS:V, it might be time to remove the bits from some highly inactive people, and that would include more than a few of the current crats. ---- Anonymous DissidentTalk 05:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:Monobi (bureaucrat)
Being a sysop for 3 days gives me all the experience I need to become a 'crat </joke>. I'll throw myself into the mix, but I'd rather it be standard practice for both the sysop and and the 'crat flag to be given at the same time. Confirmation for the current sysops is the best way to go about this, however. Likewise I'm adding myself. Mønobi 20:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] OhanaUnited (bureaucrat)
After watching others and giving myself a day to think about it, I decided to run for RfB. I have been actively editing, doing maintenance works, as well as helping new users on WikiSpecies. I visit here on daily basis so if there is any emergency, I will be available very quickly. Therefore I choose to step up and nominate myself for bureaucratship.

[edit] Maxim (bureaucrat)
I've been a sysop here for a bit, and I think I could be of some benefit with the bureaucrat flag. The main reason is because I sometimes use high-speed scripts to do some maintenance tasks; quickly flagging myself as a bot (and unflagging when done) can help unclog recent changes. While bots go through approval, I think this is more of a case were not showing 50 deletions in a row in recent changes is a convenience to us all. Finally, I'm of the belief on small project such as this, being having both the admin and 'crat bits doesn't hurt. Maxim(talk) 01:26, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
