== Endorse... ==

The [[OTRS/volunteering]] page has a big disclaimer discouraging people from endorsing/supporting if they haven't got anything useful to add. Durova, Huib and Majorly has said what is needed, so I'll just add an informal endorsement here. I look forward to be able to nag you about OTRS-tickets ;) [[User:Finnrind|Finn Rindahl]] 23:52, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
:Heh, well I haven't been accepted yet, but if I do get promoted, nag away my good fellow! ;) [[User:PeterSymonds|PeterSymonds]] 00:00, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
::Well, if I thought there was a chance you wouldn't get promoted I would have added an endorsment despite that disclaimer... :) [[User:Finnrind|Finn Rindahl]] 00:06, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

May you stop this DIREKTOR's harassment against several users by false accusations of socks?

Thank you for adding Galician translations. You created [[foundation:Template:2010Thermometer/gl|this page]], could you remove the "$" symbol? It's unnecessary as "16 millóns de ''dólares''" already includes it. Moreover, in Galician, currency symbols don't go before the number.

The Hebrew version that was posted is a chapter version, not a language version. So, I've moved it to the chapter's space and pulled down the hebrew language version (exclusive of the chapter).

Hey Peter, I wanted to personally thank you for all the work you did during the fundraiser. I know I speak for every member of the staff who interacted with you (and probably every volunteer) when I say your help was invaluable from your IRC assistance/advice and thoughts, your help with banner and landing page translations (up until the very end), your help whenever I asked for testing or verification and your constant attempts to find more things you could help with. The only bad thing is the more you prove yourself the more likely I am to ask for your help later when I need it ;) [[User:Jalexander|-James/Jalexander/Jamesofur]] 00:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
:Well, that is certainly kind of you. I quite enjoyed doing what little I had to offer. Thank you for all the hard work you and the others put in to make it successful. I don't mind helping if I'm able. [[User:PeterSymonds|PeterSymonds]] 20:46, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi

I'm [[en:User:Srikeit|Srikeit]] and I'm an admin on the English Wikipedia. I understand that you have closed my OTRS account for inactivity and probably a lack of RL verification.

I realise that I am only intermittently active but I intend to be more involved in the future.

== Suggestion ==
Hello. I proposed a project for deletion some weeks ago (see proposal [[Proposals for closing projects/Deletion of Moldovan Wikipedia|here]]). The problem is that there is a user ([[User:Node_ue]]) there that in my opinion vandalizes the proposal. He intercalated text in the very text of the proposal, and if you see that page, you might even think that his additions are part of my proposal (because I signed the introduction). Moreover, I used sources to make the arguments in the proposal verifiable. In exchange, the user responded with texts like "that is a lie" (without providing any contrary source or such). I told him to discuss the proposal on the talk page, but not modify the very text of the proposal because that makes the proposal without object (and makes the vote on the proposal ambigous). I also asked him (see [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Deletion_of_Moldovan_Wikipedia#Stop_vandalising_the_introduction here]) at least not to intercalate his text into my text, becase I signed the proposal, and by that he alterates what I wrote. Please not that I did not express opinions, I put just some referenced arguments. [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Proposals_for_closing_projects/Deletion_of_Moldovan_Wikipedia&diff=2386490&oldid=2384366 Here] you can compare my last version with Node-ue's version. He also deleted some of the sources (?! - allthough they were not tricky). I thought about asking the protection of the page, but that will prevent other users to vote on the proposal. Please, can you suggest what I can do? Maybe putting the voting section into a new template, and include it on the proposal page, then protect the proposal page?! Please help me, because I'm stuck and I don't want to engage in edit wars. Have a nice day. --[[User:Danutz|Danutz]] 00:11, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:I've had a look now and I can't really see any vandalism, unless I'm missing something. However, splitting comments into section is probably a good idea, otherwise it looks rather confusing. I'll drop a note to that effect. Thanks, [[User:PeterSymonds|PeterSymonds]] 11:25, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
::Yes, in the meantime another user stepped in and moved the tricky content to the talkpage, while adding a note to it on the main page. Thank you for your time.--[[User:Danutz|Danutz]] 03:03, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi, in Turkish wiki a category called [[:tr:Kategori:Uzunluk birimleri]] linked wrong to other languages mistakenly. I corrected them in Turkish wiki, but it also be erased in other wikis that linked. The problem is unfortunately there is no category [[:tr:Kategori:Uzunluk]] which means lenght and thats why i tried to erase the [[:tr:Kategori:Uzunluk birimleri]] in other wikis, but the problem is wiki thought that im doing illegal things. Could you please erase the link of [[:tr:Kategori:Uzunluk birimleri]] from the other wikis that linked in the [http://tr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kategori:Uzunluk_birimleri&oldid=9472250 previous] version.

== Slakr on IRC ==

Peter, since you are the group contact, I wish to inform you that I had to submit yet more official complaints about Slakr's harassment on IRC. His actions are really poisonous and he is clearly ignoring the conduct standards regarding ops. His constant abuse, attacks, etc, are really out of line. We have talked about this before and it really needs to be dealt with. Right now, many people refuse to go into #wikipedia-en because he defends a really poisonous atmosphere. When I reported his outright abuse of ops in allowing his friends to use the #wikipedia-en chat room to talk about sex in graphic detail, he was supposed to be stopped but he continues to act in a highly inappropriate manner. At night, the handful of people who chat when it use to be the American time (i.e. after 1 AM GMT) have caused many people to leave because of the abuse, really nasty attacks, constant cussing, and reprehensible behavior. Simply pointing out that some of their nasty claims are wrong leads to being threaten with op use. One guy, Snard, made really nasty attacks on Chief Justice John Roberts and it was pointed out that Wikipedia contradicted him. He resorted to tossing around cuss words, nasty attacks, and saying troll over and over. The pointing out he was wrong was joined with 1. evidence and a source, 2. no cuss words or attacks, and 3. only as a way to say a really egregious BLP attack was wrong. This was met with Slakr saying that I would be banned because Snard thought I was a troll. How is that really acceptable behavior? We need ops who follow our standards and don't wave their power to threaten others like that. This is really upsetting and troubling, and the decline in the chat is evident. [[User:Ottava Rima|Ottava Rima]] ([[user talk:Ottava Rima|talk]]) 01:59, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
:Peter: There are several other ops+users supporting ottava's most recent trolling/disruption ban. Feel free to hit me up on IRC if you'd like more info. --[[User:Slakr|slakr]] 02:10, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

::Slakr uses the term "troll" to basically push whatever fringe view he has and it has nothing to do with any of my actions. He does allow a GNAA person who was banned from Freenode to just have free access to the IRC channels while knowing they are trolls and aren't supposed to be there. All of my comments have been backed up with sources and citations, and his attacks on me, a well-known writer who is highly educated is really irresponsible and not appropriate. He allows people to be really nasty and incivil, and it has chased many people away. The one night when he was encouraging Ironholds et al to attack me, I received 4 different messages from chatters complaining about how nasty they have been lately. This really needs to stop. The only solution is to remove Slakr's ops. Then you will see a major turn around in the chat with the people acting that way no longer feeling they are protected, and people returning to chat without fear.

:You haven't a clue about my history or anything, and you were immediately cussing, being nasty, and incivil just as you are above. Slakr's "civility" involved cussing, threats, and constantly using derogatory labels. Your claim about "right wing" is really inappropriate, because it doesn't matter what political background someone has that they are all allowed to use IRC. The IRC ToS does make it clear that you don't have the right to single people out and attack them like you did over political ideology.

To transfer from temporary to permanent, you will need to start a new request on crwiki, and if there is enough support after a week or two, we will remove the expiry. What we're looking for in practice is about six or seven comments on your adminship from people active in the crwiki community. Hope that helps, and thanks for your work so far.

Hey Peter, I wanted to personally thank you for all the work you did during the fundraiser. I know I speak for every member of the staff who interacted with you (and probably every volunteer) when I say your help was invaluable from your IRC assistance/advice and thoughts, your help with banner and landing page translations (up until the very end), your help whenever I asked for testing or verification and your constant attempts to find more things you could help with. The only bad thing is the more you prove yourself the more likely I am to ask for your help later when I need it ;) [[User:Jalexander|-James/Jalexander/Jamesofur]] 00:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

== Suggestion ==
Hello. I proposed a project for deletion some weeks ago (see proposal [[Proposals for closing projects/Deletion of Moldovan Wikipedia|here]]). The problem is that there is a user ([[User:Node_ue]]) there that in my opinion vandalizes the proposal. He intercalated text in the very text of the proposal, and if you see that page, you might even think that his additions are part of my proposal (because I signed the introduction). Moreover, I used sources to make the arguments in the proposal verifiable. In exchange, the user responded with texts like "that is a lie" (without providing any contrary source or such). I told him to discuss the proposal on the talk page, but not modify the very text of the proposal because that makes the proposal without object (and makes the vote on the proposal ambigous). I also asked him (see [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Deletion_of_Moldovan_Wikipedia#Stop_vandalising_the_introduction here]) at least not to intercalate his text into my text, becase I signed the proposal, and by that he alterates what I wrote. Please not that I did not express opinions, I put just some referenced arguments. [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Proposals_for_closing_projects/Deletion_of_Moldovan_Wikipedia&diff=2386490&oldid=2384366 Here] you can compare my last version with Node-ue's version. He also deleted some of the sources (?! - allthough they were not tricky). I thought about asking the protection of the page, but that will prevent other users to vote on the proposal. Please, can you suggest what I can do? Maybe putting the voting section into a new template, and include it on the proposal page, then protect the proposal page?! Please help me, because I'm stuck and I don't want to engage in edit wars. Have a nice day. --[[User:Danutz|Danutz]] 00:11, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:I've had a look now and I can't really see any vandalism, unless I'm missing something. However, splitting comments into section is probably a good idea, otherwise it looks rather confusing. I'll drop a note to that effect. Thanks, [[User:PeterSymonds|PeterSymonds]] 11:25, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

== Categorical problem ==

Hi, in Turkish wiki a category called [[:tr:Kategori:Uzunluk birimleri]] linked wrong to other languages mistakenly. I corrected them in Turkish wiki, but it also be erased in other wikis that linked. The problem is unfortunately there is no category [[:tr:Kategori:Uzunluk]] which means lenght and thats why i tried to erase the [[:tr:Kategori:Uzunluk birimleri]] in other wikis, but the problem is wiki thought that im doing illegal things. Could you please erase the link of [[:tr:Kategori:Uzunluk birimleri]] from the other wikis that linked in the [http://tr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kategori:Uzunluk_birimleri&oldid=9472250 previous] version.

== Slakr on IRC ==

Peter, since you are the group contact, I wish to inform you that I had to submit yet more official complaints about Slakr's harassment on IRC. His actions are really poisonous and he is clearly ignoring the conduct standards regarding ops. His constant abuse, attacks, etc, are really out of line. We have talked about this before and it really needs to be dealt with. Right now, many people refuse to go into #wikipedia-en because he defends a really poisonous atmosphere. When I reported his outright abuse of ops in allowing his friends to use the #wikipedia-en chat room to talk about sex in graphic detail, he was supposed to be stopped but he continues to act in a highly inappropriate manner. At night, the handful of people who chat when it use to be the American time (i.e. after 1 AM GMT) have caused many people to leave because of the abuse, really nasty attacks, constant cussing, and reprehensible behavior. Simply pointing out that some of their nasty claims are wrong leads to being threaten with op use. One guy, Snard, made really nasty attacks on Chief Justice John Roberts and it was pointed out that Wikipedia contradicted him. He resorted to tossing around cuss words, nasty attacks, and saying troll over and over. The pointing out he was wrong was joined with 1. evidence and a source, 2. no cuss words or attacks, and 3. only as a way to say a really egregious BLP attack was wrong. This was met with Slakr saying that I would be banned because Snard thought I was a troll. How is that really acceptable behavior? We need ops who follow our standards and don't wave their power to threaten others like that. This is really upsetting and troubling, and the decline in the chat is evident. [[User:Ottava Rima|Ottava Rima]] ([[user talk:Ottava Rima|talk]]) 01:59, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
:Peter: There are several other ops+users supporting ottava's most recent trolling/disruption ban. Feel free to hit me up on IRC if you'd like more info. --[[User:Slakr|slakr]] 02:10, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

::Slakr uses the term "troll" to basically push whatever fringe view he has and it has nothing to do with any of my actions. He does allow a GNAA person who was banned from Freenode to just have free access to the IRC channels while knowing they are trolls and aren't supposed to be there. All of my comments have been backed up with sources and citations, and his attacks on me, a well-known writer who is highly educated is really irresponsible and not appropriate. He allows people to be really nasty and incivil, and it has chased many people away. The one night when he was encouraging Ironholds et al to attack me, I received 4 different messages from chatters complaining about how nasty they have been lately. This really needs to stop. The only solution is to remove Slakr's ops. Then you will see a major turn around in the chat with the people acting that way no longer feeling they are protected, and people returning to chat without fear.

:You haven't a clue about my history or anything, and you were immediately cussing, being nasty, and incivil just as you are above. Slakr's "civility" involved cussing, threats, and constantly using derogatory labels. Your claim about "right wing" is really inappropriate, because it doesn't matter what political background someone has that they are all allowed to use IRC.

== Temporary adminship ==

Good day, How can we pass from the temporary adminship granted on a wiki to a permanent one ? I have launched a discussion on that subject on the main discussion portal of the wiki more than a week ago and there isn't any objection; see [http://cr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_portal#Adminship]. I have been granted the temporary admin status in January 2010. Thanks you, [[User:Amqui|Amqui]] 17:36, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
:Hi Amqui. Whether adminship is granted permanently or on a fixed-term basis generally depends on the size of the community. To transfer from temporary to permanent, you will need to start a new request on crwiki, and if there is enough support after a week or two, we will remove the expiry. What we're looking for in practice is about six or seven comments on your adminship from people active in the crwiki community. Hope that helps, and thanks for your work so far. [[User:PeterSymonds|PeterSymonds]] ([[User talk:PeterSymonds|talk]]) 17:56, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for adding Galician translations. You created [[foundation:Template:2010Thermometer/gl|this page]], could you remove the "$" symbol?

Hey Peter, I wanted to personally thank you for all the work you did during the fundraiser. I know I speak for every member of the staff who interacted with you (and probably every volunteer) when I say your help was invaluable from your IRC assistance/advice and thoughts, your help with banner and landing page translations (up until the very end), your help whenever I asked for testing or verification and your constant attempts to find more things you could help with. The only bad thing is the more you prove yourself the more likely I am to ask for your help later when I need it ;) [[User:Jalexander|-James/Jalexander/Jamesofur]] 00:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

== Suggestion ==
Hello. I proposed a project for deletion some weeks ago (see proposal [[Proposals for closing projects/Deletion of Moldovan Wikipedia|here]]). The problem is that there is a user ([[User:Node_ue]]) there that in my opinion vandalizes the proposal. He intercalated text in the very text of the proposal, and if you see that page, you might even think that his additions are part of my proposal (because I signed the introduction). Moreover, I used sources to make the arguments in the proposal verifiable. In exchange, the user responded with texts like "that is a lie" (without providing any contrary source or such). I told him to discuss the proposal on the talk page, but not modify the very text of the proposal because that makes the proposal without object (and makes the vote on the proposal ambigous). I also asked him (see [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Deletion_of_Moldovan_Wikipedia#Stop_vandalising_the_introduction here]) at least not to intercalate his text into my text, becase I signed the proposal, and by that he alterates what I wrote. Please not that I did not express opinions, I put just some referenced arguments. [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Proposals_for_closing_projects/Deletion_of_Moldovan_Wikipedia&diff=2386490&oldid=2384366 Here] you can compare my last version with Node-ue's version. He also deleted some of the sources (?! - allthough they were not tricky). I thought about asking the protection of the page, but that will prevent other users to vote on the proposal. Please, can you suggest what I can do? Maybe putting the voting section into a new template, and include it on the proposal page, then protect the proposal page?! Please help me, because I'm stuck and I don't want to engage in edit wars. Have a nice day. --[[User:Danutz|Danutz]] 00:11, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:I've had a look now and I can't really see any vandalism, unless I'm missing something. However, splitting comments into section is probably a good idea, otherwise it looks rather confusing. I'll drop a note to that effect. Thanks, [[User:PeterSymonds|PeterSymonds]] 11:25, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

== Categorical problem ==

Hi, in Turkish wiki a category called [[:tr:Kategori:Uzunluk birimleri]] linked wrong to other languages mistakenly. I corrected them in Turkish wiki, but it also be erased in other wikis that linked. The problem is unfortunately there is no category [[:tr:Kategori:Uzunluk]] which means lenght and thats why i tried to erase the [[:tr:Kategori:Uzunluk birimleri]] in other wikis, but the problem is wiki thought that im doing illegal things. Could you please erase the link of [[:tr:Kategori:Uzunluk birimleri]] from the other wikis that linked in the [http://tr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kategori:Uzunluk_birimleri&oldid=9472250 previous] version.

== Slakr on IRC ==

Peter, since you are the group contact, I wish to inform you that I had to submit yet more official complaints about Slakr's harassment on IRC. His actions are really poisonous and he is clearly ignoring the conduct standards regarding ops. His constant abuse, attacks, etc, are really out of line. We have talked about this before and it really needs to be dealt with. Right now, many people refuse to go into #wikipedia-en because he defends a really poisonous atmosphere. When I reported his outright abuse of ops in allowing his friends to use the #wikipedia-en chat room to talk about sex in graphic detail, he was supposed to be stopped but he continues to act in a highly inappropriate manner. At night, the handful of people who chat when it use to be the American time (i.e. after 1 AM GMT) have caused many people to leave because of the abuse, really nasty attacks, constant cussing, and reprehensible behavior. Simply pointing out that some of their nasty claims are wrong leads to being threaten with op use. One guy, Snard, made really nasty attacks on Chief Justice John Roberts and it was pointed out that Wikipedia contradicted him. He resorted to tossing around cuss words, nasty attacks, and saying troll over and over. The pointing out he was wrong was joined with 1. evidence and a source, 2. no cuss words or attacks, and 3. only as a way to say a really egregious BLP attack was wrong. This was met with Slakr saying that I would be banned because Snard thought I was a troll. How is that really acceptable behavior? We need ops who follow our standards and don't wave their power to threaten others like that. This is really upsetting and troubling, and the decline in the chat is evident. [[User:Ottava Rima|Ottava Rima]] ([[user talk:Ottava Rima|talk]]) 01:59, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
:Peter: There are several other ops+users supporting ottava's most recent trolling/disruption ban. Feel free to hit me up on IRC if you'd like more info. --[[User:Slakr|slakr]] 02:10, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

::Slakr uses the term "troll" to basically push whatever fringe view he has and it has nothing to do with any of my actions. He does allow a GNAA person who was banned from Freenode to just have free access to the IRC channels while knowing they are trolls and aren't supposed to be there. All of my comments have been backed up with sources and citations, and his attacks on me, a well-known writer who is highly educated is really irresponsible and not appropriate. He allows people to be really nasty and incivil, and it has chased many people away. The one night when he was encouraging Ironholds et al to attack me, I received 4 different messages from chatters complaining about how nasty they have been lately. This really needs to stop. The only solution is to remove Slakr's ops. Then you will see a major turn around in the chat with the people acting that way no longer feeling they are protected, and people returning to chat without fear.

Your claim about "right wing" is really inappropriate, because it doesn't matter what political background someone has that they are all allowed to use IRC.

== En.wikipedia is currently locked. Please don't do non-urgent reverts on it. ==

Dear PeterSymonds. As you know, [[w:en:Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Learn_more|The English Wikipedia is currently locked up for 24 hours as a protest against SOPA and PIPA]], so ordinary (non-steward) users cannot do any edits. It seems you have reverted an edit on [[w:Dwarfism]] on that project during this time. Even if you are a steward, please refrain from doing "normal" editing work on en.wikipedia during the blockout. Meanwhile, feel free to continue doing important edits related to the blackout itself, such as on [[w:Wikipedia:SOPA initiative/Actions by other communities]]. Thanks, – [[User:B jonas|b_jonas]] 14:02, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
:Thank you for your input, but all my edits have already been approved by an English Wikipedia arbitrator; the reversion of an offensive and copyrighted image is quite within policy. Thanks, [[User:PeterSymonds|PeterSymonds]] ([[User talk:PeterSymonds|talk]]) 14:12, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

== Temporary adminship ==

Good day, How can we pass from the temporary adminship granted on a wiki to a permanent one ? I have launched a discussion on that subject on the main discussion portal of the wiki more than a week ago and there isn't any objection; see [http://cr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_portal#Adminship]. I have been granted the temporary admin status in January 2010. Thanks you, [[User:Amqui|Amqui]] 17:36, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
:Hi Amqui. Whether adminship is granted permanently or on a fixed-term basis generally depends on the size of the community. To transfer from temporary to permanent, you will need to start a new request on crwiki, and if there is enough support after a week or two, we will remove the expiry. What we're looking for in practice is about six or seven comments on your adminship from people active in the crwiki community. Hope that helps, and thanks for your work so far.

::Thanks you for your answer, I guess it doesn't change anything in practice wether I'm temporary or permanent. [[User:Amqui|Amqui]] 18:02, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
