== Can new people join? ==

Hi, really new around here. Just wondering if anyone can join or do your account need to be of certain age for the event. I would really love to tune in with you guys. Also, who should not join? [[User:Rescimece773|Rescimece773]] ([[User talk:Rescimece773|talk]]) 05:21, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

:Anyone who wants to join and participate in good faith is welcomed to join :) 👁 [[User:Ceaseless Watcher|Ceaseless Watcher]] 👁 ([[User talk:Ceaseless Watcher|talk]]; they/them) 02:48, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

== This is very blatantly political ==

In a free and open system, how one chooses to identify themselves is well and truly their choice, but to place at the front of unrelated pages on a purportedly neutral website the banner of this event, it is very clear, when one considers as well the name of this event, that this is a blatant attempt to enforce a very particular interpretation of the world, and one which the vast majority of the population of the entire would would disagree with. [[User:WriterOfScrolls|WriterOfScrolls]] ([[User talk:WriterOfScrolls|talk]]) 06:18, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

:Oh boy every time we do something like this like WikiLovesPride we get comments like this. And yes Wikipedia is in fact biased towards the rights of Queer people. [[User:Akechi The Agent Of Chaos|Akechi The Agent Of Chaos]] ([[User talk:Akechi The Agent Of Chaos|talk]]) 06:33, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
:: No, Wikipedia is '''NOT''' "in fact biased towards the rights of Queer people". The WMF and Wikipedia is not biased toward (or against!) anyone. Please, don't suggest otherwise. Also, be aware of what Owen Blacker mentioned: The [[Policy:Universal_Code_of_Conduct#3.1_%E2%80%93_Harassment|Wikimedia Universal Code of Conduct section 3.1]] states that "posting in bad-faith to intentionally provoke" is considered unacceptable behavior. [[User:FeralOink|FeralOink]] ([[User talk:FeralOink|talk]]) 09:58, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
:::We are biased towards reliable sources, and last time I checked those are in fact biased towards this. I wasn't posting in bad faith, if you found this provoking that ain't my problem. This is a wikimedia get together for discussions it ain't political unless you find queer peoples' existence political. [[User:Akechi The Agent Of Chaos|Akechi The Agent Of Chaos]] ([[User talk:Akechi The Agent Of Chaos|talk]]) 06:08, 16 October 2025 (UTC)
::::no you're biased to vice media and the Guardian newspaper, when i was young all media sources were viewed with distrust, i challenge you to run a script and find out how much you quote trash media these days [[User:DarkShroom|DarkShroom]] ([[User talk:DarkShroom|talk]]) 06:53, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
::wikipedia was great because it never "loved" anything, it used to be a neutral source of information [[User:DarkShroom|DarkShroom]] ([[User talk:DarkShroom|talk]]) 06:49, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
:I disagree with the idea that a majority of people around the world are bigoted, but even if they were, your argument is nothing more than an ad populum fallacy. [[User:CrowTheCryptid|CrowTheCryptid]] ([[User talk:CrowTheCryptid|talk]]) 07:48, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
:Whilst I can't agree with the 'vast majority' statement, I'd assert that it's still a political statement on the basis of the recent UK Supreme Court ruling on legal definitions among other examples. Evidently, some aspects of the LGBTQ+ movement are hotly contested, and Wikipedia's endorsement of an event such as this shows clear support to one side of the conversation. Not that an event like this shouldn't be held, but maybe without Wikipedia in the name? It's not like stuff like this has no support or press.
:I'd hardly call a belief in a transgender mtf not being legally recognised as a woman 'bigoted' unless strong, unreasonable beliefs were held of the accused? [[User:Bayley Sherlock|Bayley Sherlock]] ([[User talk:Bayley Sherlock|talk]]) 08:02, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
::Personally I don't care what UK laws say, I care what medical experts and biologists who very publicly opposed this ruling. And yes this ruling is in fact bigoted when the case was funded by very prominent anti trans organisations, and I think rulings preventing certain groups of people to use public restrooms at all is in fact bigoted. [[User:Akechi The Agent Of Chaos|Akechi The Agent Of Chaos]] ([[User talk:Akechi The Agent Of Chaos|talk]]) 09:18, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
:::It's a rather uncharitable approach to the truth claims of two competing epistemological structures by jumping into the frame of one of them and immediately concluding that the other is "bigoted" from this perspective. And, ultimately, it's circular logic, because you're not looking at using a worldview to defend a worldview, an idea to defend itself. Tautology is invalid. [[User:WriterOfScrolls|WriterOfScrolls]] ([[User talk:WriterOfScrolls|talk]]) 23:21, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
:I'd like to remind everyone here about the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]], particularly section 2, about Expected behaviour, and section 3.1 about Harassment. — [[User:OwenBlacker|OwenBlacker]] ([[User talk:OwenBlacker|Talk]]; he/him), for the Board of the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, 09:19, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
::And I'd like to remind everyone here about the [[neutral point of view]]: "Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, and Wikinews – but not Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikivoyage, Wikispecies, the many "backstage" projects, including Meta – have a strict neutral point of view (NPOV) policy. This policy states that their missions are best served not by advancing or detracting from particular points of view on any given subject, but by trying to present a fair, neutral description of the facts – including that various interpretations and points of view exist." Given any political movement, different people will have different views about it. It is not Wikipedia's place to push any one of those views. -- [[User:Oliver Pereira|Oliver P.]] ([[User talk:Oliver Pereira|talk]]) 20:12, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
:::Precisely. [[User:WriterOfScrolls|WriterOfScrolls]] ([[User talk:WriterOfScrolls|talk]]) 23:22, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
::::The Queering Wikipedia event is not an attempt to impose a worldview or politicize the projects, but rather to support an inclusive and respectful environment for contributors who identify as LGBTQ+. According to the Universal Code of Conduct, we are all expected to help “create and maintain a welcoming environment” and “respect the diversity of participants.” This includes recognizing the existence and experiences of queer contributors who are part of our global community. Promoting events like Queering Wikipedia does not violate neutrality (it doesn’t change how articles are written or which sources are used) but it does ensure that editors from all backgrounds feel safe and represented while they collaborate to maintain that neutrality. Inclusion is not bias; it’s a prerequisite for a truly open and free knowledge movement. The Wikimedia movement has always celebrated diversity through initiatives such as WikiWomen, Art+Feminism, and WikiLovesAfrica. Queering Wikipedia continues that tradition by addressing a group that has historically faced marginalization, both online and offline. We can uphold the neutral point of view in our content while also upholding empathy and equity in our community spaces, these principles are not contradictory, they are complementary.--[[User:Mister Roboto|Mister Roboto]] ([[User talk:Mister Roboto|talk]]) 03:50, 16 October 2025 (UTC)
:::::I agree that Wikipedia should be a welcoming environment for everyone. Contributors who consider themselves to be queer should be free to organise a get-together and discuss their interests, Wikipedia-related and otherwise. However, the title of the conference suggests something more than that. The wording - of the form [verb]ing [noun] - suggests not just welcoming contributors into the project - which would be a good thing - but of transforming the project itself. Queering it. What it means to "queer" something might be open to debate, but it could very easily be interpreted as imposing the ideology of [[w:queer theory|queer theory]] onto it. By analogy, suppose that someone set up a conference titled "Christianising Wikipedia". Would you think, "That's fine. It's not an attempt to impose a worldview on Wikipedia. It's just to support an inclusive and respectful environment for contributors who consider themselves to be Christian"? If you would not, then surely my point should be clear. -- [[User:Oliver Pereira|Oliver P.]] ([[User talk:Oliver Pereira|talk]]) 00:23, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
::::::You misunderstand the term "queering". To quote from Wiktionary ([[wikt:queer#English|See "queer" > English > Verb > meaning 5]]) :
::::::{{tqb|1= To reevaluate or reinterpret (a work) with an eye to sexual orientation and/or to gender, as by applying [[wikt:queer theory|queer theory]]. Quotations:
::::::* 2003, Marcella Althaus-Reid, ''The Queer God'', page 9:
::::::*: If I go, for instance, to the history of the church in Latin America, and decide to '''queer''' the history of the Jesuitic Missions, I may find that, in many ways, the missions were more sexual than Christian.
::::::* 2006, Carla Freccero, ''Queer/Early/Modern'', page 80:
::::::*: Jonathan Goldberg further explores the implications of '''queering''' history in his essay in the same volume.
::::::* '''2013''', Mark Davidson, Deborah Martin, chapter [https://books.google.de/books?id=d6CVAgAAQBAJ&lpg=PT168&dq=%22urban%20studies%22&pg=PT168#v=onepage&q=%22urban%20studies%22&f=false 8], in ''Urban Politics: Critical Approaches'', SAGE, ({{ISBN|9781446293034}}):
::::::*: We might say that there has been a ‘'''queering'''’ of urban studies insofar as the metropolitan lives, subcultures and social movements of gays and lesbians are now seen as valid objects of study.
::::::}}
::::::"Queering" something isn't about turning is queer (which is a logical impossibility, of course), but including information based on looking through an ''additional'' (not a ''replacement'') lens.
::::::I should also point out that this is not the first such event. In 2020 there was an in-person conference planned, [[Queering Wikipedia 2020]], funded through the [[Grants:Conference|WMF Conferences Fund]] ([[Grants:Conference/Kawayashu/Queering Wikipedia|see proposal]]), before the Covid-19 pandemic got in the way. It was agreed with the WMF grants manager that the remaining funds for that should be repurposed for strengthening and capacity building within the [[Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group]], resulting in an internal-facing event [[QW2021|Queering Wikipedia 2021 Working Days]].
::::::After the success of that event (with a [[QW2021/Report|grants writeup]] and an [[QW2021/Write-up|event writeup]] translated into several languages), a further [[Grants:Conference/QW22/QW2022|grant was approved]], which funded an event for an audience internal to the Wikimedia Movement ([[QW2022]]) and a larger event with both an internal and external audience ([[QW2023]]). Organisational capacity meant that the event in 2024 ([[QW2024]]) was a much smaller [[wikt:unconference|unconference]] and next weekend will see an event more like the 2022 instance, with details and scope at [[Event:Queering Wikipedia Conference 2025]]. Plans for a larger event in 2026 are in progress, including the appropriate conversations with the Conferences Team at the WMF.
::::::I hope this makes everything clearer. — [[User:OwenBlacker|OwenBlacker]] ([[User talk:OwenBlacker|Talk]]; he/him), chair of the [[Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group]], 12:36, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
:::::::You say that I am misunderstanding, but then you affirm what I expressed as my fear. I said that "it could very easily be interpreted as imposing the ideology of queer theory onto it"; you have replied with a definition that says that "to queer (something)" is to "reevaluate or reinterpret (a work) with an eye to sexual orientation and/or to gender, as by applying queer theory". One could quibble over whether or not those two statements are ''identical'', but they are certainly close enough to prove my point. Your comments about the event being long established and well funded by the Wikimedia Foundation tell me that the project has been captured by the ideology, proving my point even further. You are effectively telling me that the NPOV is dead and that we have no choice but to accept it. -- [[User:Oliver Pereira|Oliver P.]] ([[User talk:Oliver Pereira|talk]]) 15:51, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
::::there's no point in arguming with them with the wiki rules, i tried that various times pointing out that the only allowed sources were the Guardian and Vice news, wikipedia is a joke these days unless it's to do with maths or obscure circuits no-one understands [[User:DarkShroom|DarkShroom]] ([[User talk:DarkShroom|talk]]) 06:57, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
:::NPOV requires us to follow reliable sources, and NPOV applies to article writing, not wikimedia projects. If you have a problem with this then you have a problem with Women In Red and many other inclusive contribution projects. [[User:Akechi The Agent Of Chaos|Akechi The Agent Of Chaos]] ([[User talk:Akechi The Agent Of Chaos|talk]]) 06:10, 16 October 2025 (UTC)
::::That's presenting a false dichotomy and is disingenuous at best in this conversation. Whilst Wikimedia doesn't necessarily fall under NPOV it'd be difficult to argue that aspects of it don't apply, as the principle is what leads to discussions between 'both' sides such as this where beliefs and ideas can be aired out, unless the purpose of events like QWC 2025 isn't to promote inclusion in debates from all backgrounds? [[User:Bayley Sherlock|Bayley Sherlock]] ([[User talk:Bayley Sherlock|talk]]) 09:41, 16 October 2025 (UTC)
::::That's not really analogous. An analogy to "Women in Red" would be "Lesbians in Red", "Gays in Red", "Bisexuals in Red", and so on, which would be fine. The title "Queering Wikipedia" would be analogous to "Feminising Wikipedia" - ''i.e.'', making Wikipedia feminine - which would be equally problematic. Wikipedia is not supposed to be an inherently queer project, any more than it is meant to be an inherently feminine project. Perhaps a better analogy to this situation would be to imagine a conference called "Making Wikipedia Gender Critical", which would be the other side of the coin to "queering" it. I wonder if a conference titled "Making Wikipedia Gender Critical" would be allowed a banner so prominently displayed? -- [[User:Oliver Pereira|Oliver P.]] ([[User talk:Oliver Pereira|talk]]) 00:39, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
:::::except for the word queer is offensive? [[User:DarkShroom|DarkShroom]] ([[User talk:DarkShroom|talk]]) 06:51, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
:::Queerness is not a "political movement". It is, once again, simply facts. [[User:IAmThereforeIAmConfused|IAmThereforeIAmConfused]] ([[User talk:IAmThereforeIAmConfused|talk]]) 18:10, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
::::There are facts surrounding climate change, evolution, and any number of subjects, but that doesn't mean they aren't also political. Wikipedia should be a place where the facts are stated, but not endorsed. [[User:Epachamo|Epachamo]] ([[User talk:Epachamo|talk]]) 22:12, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
::::The Wikipedia article on [[w:Queer theory|Queer theory]] describes it as "a field of post-structuralist critical theory". Is post-structuralist philosophy "just facts", or is it subject to dispute, the same as any other philosophy? -- [[User:Oliver Pereira|Oliver P.]] ([[User talk:Oliver Pereira|talk]]) 16:16, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
::queer is a word i find highly offensive as i am homosexual, so can i refer you to the code of conduct maybe? queer synonym for weird, so you are saying that homosexuality is "weird", i'd say that is offensive [[User:DarkShroom|DarkShroom]] ([[User talk:DarkShroom|talk]]) 06:48, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
:yep i'm fed up with it they ruined wikipedia, it's even the same with any other politically charged subject these days... i have tried even even edit various repos simply to add sources same deal, political activists with multiple accounts [[User:DarkShroom|DarkShroom]] ([[User talk:DarkShroom|talk]]) 06:46, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
:There is no evidence to suggest that Wikipedia is biased, not neutral, or for or against any movements, besides being "for" facts. It is simply fact that queer people exist, and one can neutrally discuss queer people. [[User:IAmThereforeIAmConfused|IAmThereforeIAmConfused]] ([[User talk:IAmThereforeIAmConfused|talk]]) 18:05, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
::It is trivially easy to prove that Wikipedia is biased in favour of a particular movement. Simply go to the Wikipedia article [[w:Trans woman|Trans woman]], and read the first sentence: "A trans woman or transgender woman is a woman who was assigned male at birth." Is that simply a "fact"? Or is this a claim made from within a particular ideology, disputed by people who do not subscribe to that ideology? -- [[User:Oliver Pereira|Oliver P.]] ([[User talk:Oliver Pereira|talk]]) 16:22, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
:::Yep again biased towards reliable sources and medical sources, unfortunately those seem to be biased towards the idea that trans women are women. Wonder why [[User:Akechi The Agent Of Chaos|Akechi The Agent Of Chaos]] ([[User talk:Akechi The Agent Of Chaos|talk]]) 07:59, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

== "Log in to meta"? ==

In the "How to Participate" section of the event, you are given the instruction "Log in to Meta with your Wikimedia username". I have no idea what this refers to. Meta, as in Facebook Meta? That's the only thing I could think of, but I don't know how that would work or what it would do. Thanks in advance! [[User:CrowTheCryptid|CrowTheCryptid]] ([[User talk:CrowTheCryptid|talk]]) 07:45, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

:Meta as in the place you're commenting on right now :) The event page is not on a wikipedia page, but here, on meta.wikipedia.org, and you can log in with your wiki username, which I see you've already done, so you only have to register for the event (step 3) 👁 [[User:Ceaseless Watcher|Ceaseless Watcher]] 👁 ([[User talk:Ceaseless Watcher|talk]]; they/them) 08:47, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

== Banner source? ==

Hi, I am wondering what is the source of this banner appearing on the top and why it is not displayed in all Wikipedias like other initiatives? How can we add it to other wikis? ▸ ‎[[user:Épine|épine]] [[user talk:Épine|talk♬]] 15:07, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

== Why wikipedia? ==

Hello,
I have simple equestion " Why Wikipedia? ".
I mean why you puting wikipedia in this kind of thing?
I think we can all agree that wikipedia should be save space where there is not any sort of controfelsial opinions (only fackts), and I kinda dont feel save on using wikipedia now knowing (in back of my head) here is peaple which can use wikidepia to promote (idk if this is write world) they belives
I also want to point there (as much as I know) is not any other thing which promote ideology in Wikipedia
( I dont think that peaple suport lgbt+ like if i use Wikipedia to promote tihngs which they can thing is bad, that why i want Wikipedia free of that kind of stuff )
(BTW can I could use "God bless" as dirent form of "bye"? ) [[User:Bartłowmiej W|Bartłowmiej W]] ([[User talk:Bartłowmiej W|talk]]) 22:03, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

:Because everyone is to be respected and facts are to be respected.
: Bigotry, as your post, comes from disrespect to queer wikipedians and disrespect to science, like medicine or gender science that deals with such topics daily. [[User:Marek Soška|Marek Soška]] ([[User talk:Marek Soška|talk]]) 12:47, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
::Sr maybe becose in my laungages things work little difrently I hav3 difrent point of fiew
::And form description I dont think they study "queen"
::It looks more for discord server in wikimedia [[User:Bartłowmiej W|Bartłowmiej W]] ([[User talk:Bartłowmiej W|talk]]) 12:54, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
::And kinda why we made queer so special
::Like i could say i indentufy myself as Christian Katolic but i dont want special side for it in wikimedia
::And like by having special things for lgbt+ things you kinda say it is not normal and it needs soemthing special which in end make only homofobic peaple dyslike them more
::And like why wikimedia why don't just create special server on discord?
::And can you say something about "God bless" part? [[User:Bartłowmiej W|Bartłowmiej W]] ([[User talk:Bartłowmiej W|talk]]) 13:51, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
:I believe {{ping|Bartłowmiej W}}'s position is one's sexual orientation, religious background, or other personal identities are not relevant to the accessibility and contribution of free knowledge. I believe (based on its scheduled presentations) this conference's function is to appropriately document information on Wikipedia with the subject's gender in mind. Personally, I believe this type of discussion should be debated amongst Wikipedians (through the Villiage pump). I can see both sides of the argument, but I do not know which one is more acceptable. I believe if one advertises a conference like this, then it should be accepted to advertise a conference with the opposite point of view. Otherwise, this ''conference'' functions to spread one-sided knowledge and does not allow for discussions from a different perspective. If one is not willing to consider a differing opinion, then one meets the criteria for bigotry.
:Separately within its schedule, there are some discussions about the current state of the LGBT+ movement/efforts. I believe this kind of discussion is irrelevant (and please correct me with sources if I am wrong) as I do not see the link or the need based on the type of content we document. I could understand if there exists discrimination (in policy, in talk pages, etc.) or oppression amongst the Wiki Projects against the LGBT+ contributors. AFAIK, this is not happening at a scale that warrants such a conference. [[User:TranqyPoo|TranqyPoo]] ([[User talk:TranqyPoo|talk]]) 15:49, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
::i guess if we use this platform to study or explore lgbt+ it is allright
::becose firstly for me it looked like discord ( about controfersial topic )in wikimedia
::still didnt got ansear for last question tho [[User:Bartłowmiej W|Bartłowmiej W]] ([[User talk:Bartłowmiej W|talk]]) 20:44, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
:tbh I think Wikipedia is beyond repair at this point. Let's hope Grokipedia will get us an encyclopedia with NPOV like Wikipedia was supposed to be originally. [[User:Massenpanik|Massenpanik]] ([[User talk:Massenpanik|talk]]) 22:43, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
::It is the same as the frequent feminist advertisements, except even more bold-faced given the increasingly progressive nature of the sponsored agenda. Wikipedia has long been part of the problem when it comes to political polarization, and I'm dismayed at just how far down the rabbit hole (not to use more colorful metaphors) it has sunk. --[[Utente:Kamina|Kami]][[Discussioni utente:Kamina|na✍]] 10:56, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello,

Can you add the licence, otherwise it will be deleted again. Thanks, [[User:Yann|Yann]] 10:51, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

== Secondo me ==

Ciao Vito, mi dispiace [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1373376&oldid=1373028 questa] tua risposta perché io non voglio nessun litigio. Volevo solo farti presente che [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1371571&oldid=1371558 la tua] è stata, secondo me, una risposta offensiva a Pietrodn, che non «pretend to ignore what I'm [you're] referring to», tanto che scrive «us». Lui sa di che cosa stiamo parlando (ovviamente lo so anch'io), ma gradirebbe che spiegassi meglio ''agli altri'' (non membri di it.wiki, magari) le tue accuse ''e su che cosa si basano'' (cfr. astensioni). Io non te lo chiedo, ma personalmente avrei preferito che rispondessi semplicemente che non vuoi farlo, [[w:it:WP:BF|non che chi te lo chiede finge di non sapere]]. Naturalmente posso avere interpretato male le tue parole, ma questa è l'impressione che ho avuto, tutto qui. Ciao, [[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 07:50, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
:Ti prego, smettila di essere tanto insultante. Non ti fa onore, a mio modesto [[MeatBall:CriticismIsFeedback|avviso]]. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 18:22, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Abbandono wikipedia, la mia ribellione l'ho fatta, se vedi qualche nome strambo in giro sappi che non sono io, se non c'è una "K" o "W", "Y", "V" non è un SP mio. Mi sono sempre comportato bene, sempre, nella mia vita reale. Non ho intenzioni di far del male a wikipedia, ma siete voi che mi avete costretto. Ho intenzione di chiedere un bel SCUSA grande grande, sia per il mio comportamento sciocco, sia perché ho intenzione di non avere nemici.

Vituzzu, please do not [http://hr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=3031244&oldid=3031204&rcid=3094859 use] your [[w:hr:Wikipedija:Globalni uklonitelji i globalni administratori|sysop or rollback tools on hr:wiki]]. Regards :-)) --[[User:Roberta F.|Roberta F.]] 10:07, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

: There is actually no written policy against that, because when we discussed about that it was decided that would be better to solve it in mediawiki code than with a policy, so conclusion was that we usually kindly ask global rollbackers to stay out of our project if they are also regular users on our project for obvious reasons, and also all global rollbackers as admins of hr wiki who revert vandals sometimes like not only to revert, but also block the vandal IP in question or cross check other Wikimedia projects (something like global rollbackers already do, but with additional admin or CU tools it is more efficient this way). If you need any more info, just ask [[:hr:Razgovor_sa_suradnikom:SpeedyGonsales|here]]. Kind regards! [[User:SpeedyGonsales|SpeedyGonsales]] 21:45, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

:: ''...I removed some other spam manually, without using my rollback-tool, is there something wrong with that?''
::* As you were not informed before there is no harm at all for you trying to help. I haven't checked actual edits, but if nobody complained and you acted as you wrote, no problem at all. I personally more like possible mediawiki solution as it is more clean and permanent, but if nothing changes in some due time, (most probably) I'll start new discussion as you suggested. Kind regards! [[User:SpeedyGonsales|SpeedyGonsales]] 22:38, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Ciao Vito! Vai a dare un'occhiata sulla wikipedia Venda, c'è un certo utente [[:ve:User:Azwifarwi|Azwifarwi]] che secondo me sta inserendo un bel po di materiale autopromozionale e SPAM riguardante lui e la sua famiglia.

Inoltre l'utente usa anche "firmarsi" in alcuni dei suoi articoli. Tanti saluti! --[[User:Reder|Reder]] 17:05, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for your various interventions against vandals on en.wikibooks recently. In case you notice that I've changed your local permissions there I'd thought I'd explain what I've done. We use the FlaggedRevs extension and your global group memberships don't give you the rights to review pages. This leads to the situation where you rollback a bad edit and the page remains requiring a reviewer to accept your revision. To fix this I've added you to the Reviewer group locally so in future any rollback will also get automatically reviewed. If you want the rights removed please let me know. Kind regards [[User:QuiteUnusual|'''QU''']] [[User talk:QuiteUnusual|TalkQu]] 17:48, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Based on the [http://toolserver.org/%7Estewardbots/elections.php results of the vote], according to the percentage obtained, ensure that you have been elected as a steward. Hopefully you can carry out the mandate of the international community with the wise and prudent.

Personally I am very pleased and proud with the results you achieve. Let us work to advance the Wikimedia Foundation. Regards. [[User:Wagino 20100516|Wagino 20100516]] 00:58, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

<div style="font-size: 110%;">
Get ready to be vandalized!

Welcome to the team. As you already know [[Special:Userrights|great access]] come with [[Stewards policy|great responsibilities]], so lets talk about some of the places you should have access but you may not have yet (yes, that means you need to ask someone). Being a new steward myself, I also do not know all of them or what I know might be wrong. This is just a personal congratulation message from [[wikia:uncyclopedia:Me|me]] to [[wikia:uncyclopedia:You|you]] and the purpose is to introduce (yet again, yes!) with my damn good helping intention and irritating sense of humor!

You all have been added to [[Template:StewardsList|steward list]] and [[Template:StewardsChart|chart]] here on Meta by me (please check if I have screwed myself there). You are eligible to make your intrusion to private IRC channels [[irc:wikimedia-checkuser|#wikimedia-checkuser]] and [[irc:wikimedia-privacy|#wikimedia-privacy]]. You should have the access already, but if you do not have it yet please bother [[User:Barras|Barras]] or [[User:DerHexer|DerHexer]] for your bit (and aye, you should have a registered nickname with a [[IRC/Cloaks|cloak]] for that). You also have the right to have an account on some private wikis like [http://steward.wikimedia.org steward wiki] and
[http://checkuser.wikimedia.org checkuser wiki] (to vandalize of course). Pardon me Your Majesty, but I have no damn idea about who to ask for access in these wikis, ask an existing steward instead. And last but not least, [[mail:checkuser-l|checkuser-l]] (yell at [[User:Mardetanha|Mardetanha]] or [[User:Matanya|Matanya]] for access) and [[mail:stewards-l|stewards-l]] (pay [[User:Dungodung|Dungodung]] for the access) are two private mailing lists that you should have access to screw each other privately.

Thank you very much for being patient! 
Pardon me in case you already know all of these!

== Please unblock ==
it seems my IP address has been blocked because it has been categorized as public proxy server. 213.165.91.98. this is IP address of a proxy but it is a company proxy server. Please advise

== Ma non sono io lo spammer! ==

Io lo so che secondo le tue informazioni top secret della CIA io ho lo stesso IP di un terribile spammer che - te lo assicuro io - non vive qui di fianco a me perché mi stupirei molto di trovare un super-spammer come vicino, ma tu continui a bloccarmi l'indirizzo IP e quindi non posso fare nulla. Io faccio l'accesso, ma non posso comunque fare nulla!
Se provo a modificare una pagina mi dice: "Il tuo indirizzo IP è stato bloccato su tutte le wiki da Vituzzu (meta.wikimedia.org). Il motivo fornito è "Cross-wiki spam: totallympics/olympicfan". Il blocco scade il 19 dic 2011 alle 22:00." e non posso fare nulla!!
Riesci a fare qualcosa per sbloccarmi l'utente perché vorrei poter contribuire senza essere continuamente bloccato, per cortesia?

== Nuovo progetto ==

Ciao, scrivo a te in quanto secondo me, rivestendo il ruolo di steward e inoltre essendo di madrelingua italiana sei la persona più adatta ad ascoltarmi. Siccome io concentro il mio lavoro su roa-tara.wiki ma spesso seguo e sono presente anche su altre versioni di Wikipedia nelle varie lingue regionali italiane, più o meno conosco il loro andamento e i loro problemi, tra cui su tutti la mancanza di utenti, mancanza quindi della materia prima necessaria per lo sviluppo di un progetto. Spesso e volentieri la maggior parte di questi progetti contano solo pochi utenti realmente attivi (che non sono quelli contati nella pagina delle statistiche, ma quelli che contribuiscono costantemente da tempo al progetto). Le comunità di queste wiki sono composte da pochissime persone e questo comporta una serie di problemi derivati che non si hanno su altre wiki che presentano comunità più consistenti. L’esiguo numero di partecipanti è un deficit non da poco, ed è secondo me il primo ostacolo da superare per poter far fare un salto di qualità a questi progetti. Ho pensato quindi di creare sulla falsariga di progetti quali [[Slavopedia]] e [[Scanwiki]] un nuovo progetto chiamato "Wikitaly". Il progetto si prefiggerebbe di coordinare tutti i progetti esistenti della Wikimedia Foundation nelle lingue regionali parlate sul territorio italiano. Questo progetto ha come obiettivo, quindi, quello di unificare tutte le comunità dei progetti interessati, per favorire una maggiore cooperazione tra di esse e un più rapido sviluppo dei vari progetti tramite una pianificazione oculata degli obiettivi da raggiungere volta per volta. Provvederei personalmente a informare ogni singolo progetto interessato e a nominare un responsabile per ognuno di esso che possa fare da portavoce principale del proprio progetto. Essendo Meta-Wiki un sito che si pone come obiettivo di coordinare tutti i progetti Wikimedia, questo sarebbe il posto perfetto dove realizzare il progetto. In tal proposito vorrei sentire un tuo parere a riguardo e cosa ne pensi del progetto. Tanti saluti e buon lavoro! --[[User:Reder|Reder]] 16:33, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
:Anche questo è vero, qualcuno potrebbe essere diffidente all'idea, temendo magari di vedere arrivare qualche "estraneo" a dettar legge nella propria wiki. So bene che solo chi lavora a un determinato progetto lo può conoscere a fondo, nei suoi difetti e nelle sue virtù, per questo il mio progetto seguirebbe lo stile "Unione Europea" dove c'è un'organismo centrale che controlla vari Paesi i quali però si governano e si gestiscono da soli. Gli utenti di ogni singole comunità potranno così stilare una lista di "cose da fare" e di determinati obiettivi da raggiungere nella propria wiki in piena autonomia, e il compito del mio progetto sarebbe quello di aiutarli nei loro intenti, concordando ogni azione, per migliorare ogni singola wiki. Oggettivamente non hanno molto da perdere; potrei fare quindi un sondaggio e vedere quante wiki sono interessate, cosa dici? --[[User:Reder|Reder]] 22:48, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

And we don't have even one admin in mhr wiki to ask do this this. All four admins with temporary rights have expired, and they even didn't come to mhr wiki to check it out, and they haven't prolonged their rights.

==Re:==

Ho completato l'unione degli account. Per quanto riguarda la segnalazione al provider, io non ricevo alcun danno diretto, ma vengo danneggiato da una reazione di Wikimedia ad un problema che non sussiste tra me e lo spammer bensì tra Wikimedia e lo spammer, quindi dovrebbe essere innanzitutto Wikimedia ad inoltrare una segnalazione ai provider interessati ed alle autorità competenti, anche perché io non posso conoscere tutti gli indirizzi IP interessati mentre Wikimedia possiede i log completi. Per quanto riguarda il blocco degli indirizzi IP, nel caso specifico mi sembra di aver visto dalla cronologia dei blocchi che era stato bloccato prima un determinato indirizzo IP e successivamente un'intera sottorete alla quale esso apparteneva (presumibilmente perché lo spamming continuava ad essere perpetrato attraverso altri indirizzi IP appartenenti alla medesima sottorete), ma volendo tentare di limitare il più possibile i danni collaterali, forse si sarebbe potuto continuare a bloccare altri indirizzi IP singoli lasciando il blocco di un'intera sottorete come extrema ratio, anziché ricorrere a quest'ultimo così rapidamente. Ovviamente non posso conoscere tutti i dettagli dell'episodio, quindi mi sono semplicemente affidato ad una gentile richiesta di estrema cautela, a costo del fatto che potesse essere superflua.

== Understanding ==
I noticed on en:wiki that you said user's coming here need understanding of this place. I agree. I said so, both at en:wiki, and at meta, a week ago, and more. As I said then, I have been appalled at some of the behavior of en:wiki admins here, but also appalled at the behavior of some admins on Meta. You may have little control or influence on what they do, but you probably have some influence over what goes on around here and user's understanding of this place. As Sj has suggested elsewhere there is something wrong, here, if this site does not make process and policy clear to users. This is especially true since this is a communication and coordination site for multiple projects. In short, you admins, collectively and the entire community here (of which I am a part) is responsible for making Meta ''easy'' to understand. So, the purpose of this post is to suggest that being able to point users to clear policy would both help users understand and reduce stress and conflict for all.

Sono l'utente millucci0 e riscrivo il messaggio in quanto il precedente era poco chiaro. Mi hai chiesto di comunicarti quali immagini ho copiato sulla pagina 'Viggianello (ITALIA)' e di seguito ti invio l'elenco completo:

Per me queste immagini possono anche essere rimosse, purtroppo non pensavo di violarne il copyright. Certo della tua comprensione ti invio Cordiali saluti.

== OTRS per un'immagine ==

Ciao! Mi scuso in anticipo perché non so se sia opportuno da parte mia domandartelo, tuttavia, avendo mandato una richiesta per il rilascio del codice OTRS per un'immagine Hasbro (un poster Comic-Con di My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic) per cui avevo già ottenuto l'autorizzazione, volevo domandarti a che punto sia la procedura (mi sembra strano che dopo oltre un mese non sia ancora stato possibile accertare la legittimità dell'autorizzazione, ma forse non è così inconsueto come credo). Scrivo a te perché - a quanto ho capito - sei l'operatore che se ne occupa. Ti ringrazio moltissimo per l'assistenza!

Ti sarò assai grato se vorrai rispondere direttamente nella [http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_utente:Kamina mia pagina di discussione in it.wiki], cosicché io possa leggere la risposta appena arriva. :) --[[User:Kamina|Kamina]] ([[User talk:Kamina|talk]]) 18:51, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

=== Joy ===
{{status}}

I have gone through the list of foreign pages and requested usurpation on all instances that were listed - you can see the entire list at [[:en:User:Joy/SUL]].

The following entries either did not appear on the list of request pages, or have more than one listed bureaucrat at Special:Listusers, so I am bringing them up here because I think it would be entirely unreasonable to require me to hunt down not only each individual mediawiki instance but also each individual bureaucrat on those instances, send them duplicate messages, look out for race conditions, etc. If they failed to create a centralized page on their instance where requests can be posted so that all bureaucrats can see them, that should be a problem for them and/or for whoever oversees them - not us poor old users.

: Update: I've gone ahead and sent messages to this effect to individual bureaucrats listed below. Argh. If they fail to get their act together within some reasonable amount of time (e.g. 3 weeks), please follow up (usurp my accounts, un-crat them, whatever). --[[User:Joy-temporary|Joy-temporary]] 11:32, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

:: Update: I've now reduced the list to only five problems with unreachable bureaucrats. Please do something about it. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 11:09, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

::: Update: And another month has passed... Please intervene in the remaining cases of obviously inactive bureuacrats. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 09:56, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

In general, this process has been utterly tedious and time-consuming and I feel I've done my share of due diligence already - it's time for someone to finally help me out and alleviate this colossal waste of my time that would *really* be better spent on actual editing of Wikipedia...

So then, this is the remainder from my list:

:::I did it.quote but I don't understand why you write «now I can't unify it because of numerous conflicting accounts on various wiki instances»: you don't mean that you ''technically'' can't, do you? Unless you have less edits than some other account (which is not your case), you should always be able to unify, leaving some local accounts unmerged. If you actually can't, then I suppose the hr sysop is blocking you, but if that's the problem (it shouldn't) I suggest you to ask a temporary desysop. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 14:05, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

====Problematic bureaucrats 2====

I also stumbled upon some pretty inactive bureaucrats that have noticeboards but aren't acting upon requests:
* English Wikiversity says [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat it has 5 bureaucrats], but [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Changing_username#Usurpation_of_User:Joy my request] is idling well past the time of 14 days their template advertises; I've sent a reminder, to no avail; it looks as if they haven't done any usurpations since February. [http://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/stewardry/?wiki=en.wikiversity stewardry output] is a bit less grim.

Please help. --[[User:Joy-temporary|Joy-temporary]] 12:25, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

*'''Confirming the problem at en.wikiversity.''' See [[v:WV:Changing username]]. We do have two or three "active" crats, defined by edit(s) or logged actions in the last three months. However, [[v:User:Sebmol|one]] hasn't acted as a 'crat for a long time, and [[v:User:SB Johnny|one]] is quite unresponsive (but did just do a usurpation after being asked on his Talk page, by me, to look at the open requests, and then being asked by a user, re the most recent request. That's the only one he did. There are seven more namechange requests, all older, all easy. I'd tried to clerk the namechange page to make it easier for the 'crats, making sure the ducks were in a row. The [[v:User:Jtneill|third 'crat]] is more active, but is moving his residence and barely able to take care of a university course he's running (also on Wikiversity). But that gives him edits! It's a bit frustrating. Joy's request is duck soup, ready to go. Just needs a 'crat or steward. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] 19:18, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
*'''[[v:WV:Changing username]] has been cleaned up,''' I brought in a pile of templates from enwiki so that the links were there in a uniform way, and so that there were buttons for a 'crat to push. The last 'crat to push a button was [http://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASB_Johnny&action=historysubmit&diff=771178&oldid=771163 a bit touchy]. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] 01:53, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
** So we're supposed to send personal messages to individual bureaucrats there to get a usurpation done? So what is the point of a common noticeboard then, if they're not going to pay attention to it? Stewards, what is your position on this, is this behavior legitimate/reasonable? --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 15:06, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Another strange case:
* The single bureaucrat at the Portuguese WikiBooks doesn't seem to understand my request:

Please help. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 13:27, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

I remember some while ago former steward [[User:Manuelt15|Manuelt15]] had the same problem. In his case he deleted his global account, recreated the global account and the lost global rights were granted by other stewards. After that, he was finally visible in the list of global accounts and (more importantly) the automatically generated list of stewards. Strange was that he had access to all the tools of the stewards et cetera, so that's not the problem. I think it's indeed a bug and maybe others have the same problem too. [[User:Trijnstel|Trijnstel]] 16:55, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
: Deleting the global account and recreating it might well solve the problem, yes. The reason I'm holding this is because I've reported a bug and I would be good if they can have a current example on what I described.

{{status}}

I have gone through the list of foreign pages and requested usurpation on all instances that were listed - you can see the entire list at [[:en:User:Joy/SUL]].

The following entries either did not appear on the list of request pages, or have more than one listed bureaucrat at Special:Listusers, so I am bringing them up here because I think it would be entirely unreasonable to require me to hunt down not only each individual mediawiki instance but also each individual bureaucrat on those instances, send them duplicate messages, look out for race conditions, etc. If they failed to create a centralized page on their instance where requests can be posted so that all bureaucrats can see them, that should be a problem for them and/or for whoever oversees them - not us poor old users.

: Update: I've gone ahead and sent messages to this effect to individual bureaucrats listed below. Argh. If they fail to get their act together within some reasonable amount of time (e.g. 3 weeks), please follow up (usurp my accounts, un-crat them, whatever). --[[User:Joy-temporary|Joy-temporary]] 11:32, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

:: Update: I've now reduced the list to only five problems with unreachable bureaucrats. Please do something about it. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 11:09, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

::: Update: And another month has passed... Please intervene in the remaining cases of obviously inactive bureuacrats. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 09:56, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

In general, this process has been utterly tedious and time-consuming and I feel I've done my share of due diligence already - it's time for someone to finally help me out and alleviate this colossal waste of my time that would *really* be better spent on actual editing of Wikipedia...

So then, this is the remainder from my list:

:::I did it.quote but I don't understand why you write «now I can't unify it because of numerous conflicting accounts on various wiki instances»: you don't mean that you ''technically'' can't, do you? Unless you have less edits than some other account (which is not your case), you should always be able to unify, leaving some local accounts unmerged. If you actually can't, then I suppose the hr sysop is blocking you, but if that's the problem (it shouldn't) I suggest you to ask a temporary desysop. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 14:05, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

====Problematic bureaucrats 2====

I also stumbled upon some pretty inactive bureaucrats that have noticeboards but aren't acting upon requests:
* English Wikiversity says [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat it has 5 bureaucrats], but [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Changing_username#Usurpation_of_User:Joy my request] is idling well past the time of 14 days their template advertises; I've sent a reminder, to no avail; it looks as if they haven't done any usurpations since February. [http://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/stewardry/?wiki=en.wikiversity stewardry output] is a bit less grim.

Please help. --[[User:Joy-temporary|Joy-temporary]] 12:25, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

*'''Confirming the problem at en.wikiversity.''' See [[v:WV:Changing username]]. We do have two or three "active" crats, defined by edit(s) or logged actions in the last three months. However, [[v:User:Sebmol|one]] hasn't acted as a 'crat for a long time, and [[v:User:SB Johnny|one]] is quite unresponsive (but did just do a usurpation after being asked on his Talk page, by me, to look at the open requests, and then being asked by a user, re the most recent request. That's the only one he did. There are seven more namechange requests, all older, all easy. I'd tried to clerk the namechange page to make it easier for the 'crats, making sure the ducks were in a row. The [[v:User:Jtneill|third 'crat]] is more active, but is moving his residence and barely able to take care of a university course he's running (also on Wikiversity). But that gives him edits! It's a bit frustrating. Joy's request is duck soup, ready to go. Just needs a 'crat or steward. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] 19:18, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
*'''[[v:WV:Changing username]] has been cleaned up,''' I brought in a pile of templates from enwiki so that the links were there in a uniform way, and so that there were buttons for a 'crat to push. The last 'crat to push a button was [http://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASB_Johnny&action=historysubmit&diff=771178&oldid=771163 a bit touchy]. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] 01:53, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
** So we're supposed to send personal messages to individual bureaucrats there to get a usurpation done? So what is the point of a common noticeboard then, if they're not going to pay attention to it? Stewards, what is your position on this, is this behavior legitimate/reasonable? --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 15:06, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Another strange case:
* The single bureaucrat at the Portuguese WikiBooks doesn't seem to understand my request:

Please help. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 13:27, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

I remember some while ago former steward [[User:Manuelt15|Manuelt15]] had the same problem. In his case he deleted his global account, recreated the global account and the lost global rights were granted by other stewards. After that, he was finally visible in the list of global accounts and (more importantly) the automatically generated list of stewards. Strange was that he had access to all the tools of the stewards et cetera, so that's not the problem. I think it's indeed a bug and maybe others have the same problem too. [[User:Trijnstel|Trijnstel]] 16:55, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
: Deleting the global account and recreating it might well solve the problem, yes. The reason I'm holding this is because I've reported a bug and I would be good if they can have a current example on what I described.

=== Joy ===
{{status}}

I have gone through the list of foreign pages and requested usurpation on all instances that were listed - you can see the entire list at [[:en:User:Joy/SUL]].

The following entries either did not appear on the list of request pages, or have more than one listed bureaucrat at Special:Listusers, so I am bringing them up here because I think it would be entirely unreasonable to require me to hunt down not only each individual mediawiki instance but also each individual bureaucrat on those instances, send them duplicate messages, look out for race conditions, etc. If they failed to create a centralized page on their instance where requests can be posted so that all bureaucrats can see them, that should be a problem for them and/or for whoever oversees them - not us poor old users.

: Update: I've gone ahead and sent messages to this effect to individual bureaucrats listed below. Argh.

:: Update: I've now reduced the list to only five problems with unreachable bureaucrats. Please do something about it. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 11:09, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

In general, this process has been utterly tedious and time-consuming and I feel I've done my share of due diligence already - it's time for someone to finally help me out and alleviate this colossal waste of my time that would *really* be better spent on actual editing of Wikipedia...

So then, this is the remainder from my list:

====Problematic bureaucrats 2====

I also stumbled upon some pretty inactive bureaucrats that have noticeboards but aren't acting upon requests:
* English Wikiversity says [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat it has 5 bureaucrats], but [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Changing_username#Usurpation_of_User:Joy my request] is idling well past the time of 14 days their template advertises; I've sent a reminder, to no avail; it looks as if they haven't done any usurpations since February. [http://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/stewardry/?wiki=en.wikiversity stewardry output] is a bit less grim.

Please help. --[[User:Joy-temporary|Joy-temporary]] 12:25, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

*'''Confirming the problem at en.wikiversity.''' See [[v:WV:Changing username]]. We do have two or three "active" crats, defined by edit(s) or logged actions in the last three months. However, [[v:User:Sebmol|one]] hasn't acted as a 'crat for a long time, and [[v:User:SB Johnny|one]] is quite unresponsive (but did just do a usurpation after being asked on his Talk page, by me, to look at the open requests, and then being asked by a user, re the most recent request. That's the only one he did. There are seven more namechange requests, all older, all easy. I'd tried to clerk the namechange page to make it easier for the 'crats, making sure the ducks were in a row. The [[v:User:Jtneill|third 'crat]] is more active, but is moving his residence and barely able to take care of a university course he's running (also on Wikiversity). But that gives him edits! It's a bit frustrating. Joy's request is duck soup, ready to go. Just needs a 'crat or steward. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] 19:18, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
*'''[[v:WV:Changing username]] has been cleaned up,''' I brought in a pile of templates from enwiki so that the links were there in a uniform way, and so that there were buttons for a 'crat to push. The last 'crat to push a button was [http://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASB_Johnny&action=historysubmit&diff=771178&oldid=771163 a bit touchy]. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] 01:53, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
** So we're supposed to send personal messages to individual bureaucrats there to get a usurpation done? So what is the point of a common noticeboard then, if they're not going to pay attention to it? Stewards, what is your position on this, is this behavior legitimate/reasonable? --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 15:06, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Another strange case:
* The single bureaucrat at the Portuguese WikiBooks doesn't seem to understand my request:

I remember some while ago former steward [[User:Manuelt15|Manuelt15]] had the same problem. In his case he deleted his global account, recreated the global account and the lost global rights were granted by other stewards. After that, he was finally visible in the list of global accounts and (more importantly) the automatically generated list of stewards. Strange was that he had access to all the tools of the stewards et cetera, so that's not the problem. I think it's indeed a bug and maybe others have the same problem too. [[User:Trijnstel|Trijnstel]] 16:55, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
: Deleting the global account and recreating it might well solve the problem, yes.

=== Hex ===
{{status|not done}}
I want to be renamed to Hex with the following accounts:
*{{Merging|Earle Martin||w}}

I was advised to ask here by en.wp bureaucrat Xeno as this requires an SUL change. For an explanation, please read [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations#Earle_Martin_.E2.86.92_Hex my original request for usurpation]. Thank you. [[User:Earle Martin|Earle Martin]] 22:13, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
:The global name "Hex" is currently in use by a Chinese Wikipedia user who has 112 edits. They therefore have priority over the name, so unfortunately we can't delete the SUL account for you. Sorry about that. [[User:PeterSymonds|PeterSymonds]] ([[User talk:PeterSymonds|talk]]) 22:18, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

=== Kamina ===
{{status}}
I want to usurp the following accounts:
*{{Merging|Kamina|uz|w}}
I'm pretty sure there are no active bureucrats on this wiki, so please let me usurp the present account (0 edits on the project). Please contact me at [http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_utente:Kamina my discussion page]. Thank you very much. --[[User:Kamina|Kamina]] 17:37, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
:Hello. Is there a problem for you to take a different username ? Somebody created the user [[w:User:Kamina]] on ''enwiki'' (2005), and I don't think that english bureaucrats will accept to usurp this account that regularly contributes (anyway I think that the SUL account is reserved to him). Thanks -- [[User:Quentinv57|Quentinv57]] [[User talk:Quentinv57|(talk)]] 18:05, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
::I've just sent forward my request of usurpation to the en.wiki bureaucrats, and I'm waiting for an answer; there is the possibility that the user is inactive (no edits since 2009, that is more than 2 years), and he only has 45 edits (29 edits in ns0 over 19 distinct pages). Of course I guess I will have to give in, as the user proves still active and unwilling to yield his account, but I still asked for usurpation in some ten other projects, so let's see how it ends. Thank you again. :) --[[User:Kamina|Kamina]] 18:15, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Steward requests/SUL requests

{{/Header}}

== Requests ==
{{/Requests-header}}



=== Joy ===
{{status}}

I have gone through the list of foreign pages and requested usurpation on all instances that were listed - you can see the entire list at [[:en:User:Joy/SUL]].

The following entries either did not appear on the list of request pages, or have more than one listed bureaucrat at Special:Listusers, so I am bringing them up here because I think it would be entirely unreasonable to require me to hunt down not only each individual mediawiki instance but also each individual bureaucrat on those instances, send them duplicate messages, look out for race conditions, etc. If they failed to create a centralized page on their instance where requests can be posted so that all bureaucrats can see them, that should be a problem for them and/or for whoever oversees them - not us poor old users.

: Update: I've gone ahead and sent messages to this effect to individual bureaucrats listed below. Argh. If they fail to get their act together within some reasonable amount of time (e.g. 3 weeks), please follow up (usurp my accounts, un-crat them, whatever). --[[User:Joy-temporary|Joy-temporary]] 11:32, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

:: Update: I've now reduced the list to only five problems with unreachable bureaucrats. Please do something about it. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 11:09, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

::: Update: And another month has passed... Please intervene in the remaining cases of obviously inactive bureuacrats. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 09:56, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

In general, this process has been utterly tedious and time-consuming and I feel I've done my share of due diligence already - it's time for someone to finally help me out and alleviate this colossal waste of my time that would *really* be better spent on actual editing of Wikipedia...

So then, this is the remainder from my list:

====Problematic bureaucrats====

:::I did it.quote but I don't understand why you write «now I can't unify it because of numerous conflicting accounts on various wiki instances»: you don't mean that you ''technically'' can't, do you? Unless you have less edits than some other account (which is not your case), you should always be able to unify, leaving some local accounts unmerged. If you actually can't, then I suppose the hr sysop is blocking you, but if that's the problem (it shouldn't) I suggest you to ask a temporary desysop. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 14:05, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

====Problematic bureaucrats 2====

I also stumbled upon some pretty inactive bureaucrats that have noticeboards but aren't acting upon requests:
* English Wikiversity says [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat it has 5 bureaucrats], but [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Changing_username#Usurpation_of_User:Joy my request] is idling well past the time of 14 days their template advertises; I've sent a reminder, to no avail; it looks as if they haven't done any usurpations since February. [http://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/stewardry/?wiki=en.wikiversity stewardry output] is a bit less grim.

Please help. --[[User:Joy-temporary|Joy-temporary]] 12:25, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

*'''Confirming the problem at en.wikiversity.''' See [[v:WV:Changing username]]. We do have two or three "active" crats, defined by edit(s) or logged actions in the last three months. However, [[v:User:Sebmol|one]] hasn't acted as a 'crat for a long time, and [[v:User:SB Johnny|one]] is quite unresponsive (but did just do a usurpation after being asked on his Talk page, by me, to look at the open requests, and then being asked by a user, re the most recent request. That's the only one he did. There are seven more namechange requests, all older, all easy. I'd tried to clerk the namechange page to make it easier for the 'crats, making sure the ducks were in a row. The [[v:User:Jtneill|third 'crat]] is more active, but is moving his residence and barely able to take care of a university course he's running (also on Wikiversity). But that gives him edits! It's a bit frustrating. Joy's request is duck soup, ready to go. Just needs a 'crat or steward. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] 19:18, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
*'''[[v:WV:Changing username]] has been cleaned up,''' I brought in a pile of templates from enwiki so that the links were there in a uniform way, and so that there were buttons for a 'crat to push. The last 'crat to push a button was [http://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASB_Johnny&action=historysubmit&diff=771178&oldid=771163 a bit touchy]. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] 01:53, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
** So we're supposed to send personal messages to individual bureaucrats there to get a usurpation done? So what is the point of a common noticeboard then, if they're not going to pay attention to it? Stewards, what is your position on this, is this behavior legitimate/reasonable? --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 15:06, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Another strange case:
* The single bureaucrat at the Portuguese WikiBooks doesn't seem to understand my request:

** http://pt.wikibooks.org/wiki/Utilizador_Discuss%C3%A3o:Marcos_Ant%C3%B4nio_Nunes_de_Moura#usurp_User:Joy

Please help. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 13:27, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

* A local Portuguese user had explained it again in their native language on September 1st - but there has been no response. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] 10:01, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

*{{merging|Hosiryuhosi|meta}}
Please delete my [[Special:CentralAuth/Hosiryuhosi|SUL account]].
I'm not included in "[[Special:GlobalUsers|Global User List]]" / "[[Special:GlobalUsers/Global_rollback|GlobalRollbacker List]]".
I want to include my username in "Global User List" and "GlobalRollbacker List".
if deleted , I remake my SUL account. --[[User:Hosiryuhosi|Hosiryuhosi]] 01:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
: Please access [[Special:MergeAccount]] first and see if there's any error message. Deleting global accounts is not something we should do very often. If that doesn't work, we can try the global account deletion. Regards, -- [[User:Dferg|Dferg]] [[User talk:Dferg|☎ talk]] 13:32, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
:: '''Note:''' I've reported a bug for this issue so PLEASE don't do anything until we can figure out what happens. -- [[User:Dferg|Dferg]] [[User talk:Dferg|☎ talk]] 13:46, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
::: thanks for report. I'm not getting error message on "Special:MergeAccount". It's normal message. [http://hosiryuhosi.jp/~hosiryuhosi/tmp/meta-mergeaccount.png]--[[User:Hosiryuhosi|Hosiryuhosi]] 14:20, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

I remember some while ago former steward [[User:Manuelt15|Manuelt15]] had the same problem. In his case he deleted his global account, recreated the global account and the lost global rights were granted by other stewards. After that, he was finally visible in the list of global accounts and (more importantly) the automatically generated list of stewards. Strange was that he had access to all the tools of the stewards et cetera, so that's not the problem. I think it's indeed a bug and maybe others have the same problem too. [[User:Trijnstel|Trijnstel]] 16:55, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
: Deleting the global account and recreating it might well solve the problem, yes. The reason I'm holding this is because I've reported a bug and I would be good if they can have a current example on what I described.

::Can you point me to the bug? [[User:Ruslik0|Ruslik]] 15:53, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
:::After a quick search, I think [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30185 this] is the bugreport. [[User:Trijnstel|Trijnstel]] 16:54, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

===iantresman===
{{status|not done}}
I want to be renamed to iantresman with the following accounts // I want to usurp the following accounts
*{{Merging|iantresman|meta|m}}
I already have a global log-in for my username "iantresman" on English Wikipedia, Commons, Simple English, Quotes, and others, but have forgotten my password for meta wiki, so I can't log-in, and can't unify my accounts. Anything I can do? Other accounts:
*{{Merging|iantresman|en|w}}
*{{Merging|iantresman|commons|}}
*{{Merging|iantresman|wikiquote|q}}
*{{Merging|iantresman|wikispecies|species}}
*{{Merging|iantresman|simple|simple}}
--[[User:Iantresman|Iantresman]] 13:27, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
:Hello. I don't really understand : you say that you can't access to the account "Iantresman" on meta, and you just used it to post this request [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steward_requests/SUL_requests&diff=prev&oldid=2911891]. Therefore, your account is attached to your SUL, so normally you should be able to use it. Aren't you speaking about mediawiki.org instead ? -- [[User:Quentinv57|Quentinv57]] [[User talk:Quentinv57|(talk)]] 18:49, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
::You're quite correct, there's so many Wikis, I've confused myself. Yes, I can't unify my mediawiki.org account. I have lost the password, and foolishly did not add an email. I don't think I made any posts, so if the password can't be retrieved, can the account be deleted so I can start again?
:::*{{Merging|iantresman||mw}}
::Okay, all right. So as mediawiki.org is a project with local 'crats, stewards can't rename you. I would advise you to edit the page [[mw:Project:Requests#Requests_for_renames]] to request the renaming locally. Cordially, -- [[User:Quentinv57|Quentinv57]] [[User talk:Quentinv57|(talk)]] 20:09, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

=== Hex ===
{{status|not done}}
I want to be renamed to Hex with the following accounts:
*{{Merging|Earle Martin||w}}

I was advised to ask here by en.wp bureaucrat Xeno as this requires an SUL change. For an explanation, please read [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations#Earle_Martin_.E2.86.92_Hex my original request for usurpation]. Thank you. [[User:Earle Martin|Earle Martin]] 22:13, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
:The global name "Hex" is currently in use by a Chinese Wikipedia user who has 112 edits. They therefore have priority over the name, so unfortunately we can't delete the SUL account for you. Sorry about that. [[User:PeterSymonds|PeterSymonds]] ([[User talk:PeterSymonds|talk]]) 22:18, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
::I was aware of that, thanks. Did you read my comments on the original page about that? [[User:Earle Martin|Earle Martin]] 08:45, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
