Requests for adminship

Important notice: Please do not request sysop status on this site if you plan to request a subdomain, and to mainly participate in that subdomain. Please wait until your subdomain is created, and request to be an admin there.

Troy 07

Hi. I am requesting for adminship on the Multilingual Wikisource as I plan to actively participate here for the long term. I've been quite active on many other wikis for nearly 2 years, as shown on my userpage. The wikis include English Wikipedia, Meta, Commons, Incubator, etc. (and now Wikisource). I should add that I have neither attained nor requested for previous admin rights on any wiki, but Wikisource is certainly a good place to start, where it's more calm and far less hectic than enwiki :)

On Oldwikisource, I have been actively updating and contributing to Coptic Wikisource, which has about 20 pages now. I have requested and took part in transferring and renaming it, along with Ancient Greek Wikisource, to Multilingual Wikisource. Needless to say, it was a long task that took several hours ...so in that case, they're not likely going to have their own subdomains any time in the foreseeable future.

At this point, I am actively engaged in updating, correcting, and adding new pages in Wikisource, particularly in the development of Coptic Wikisource. I would like to have admin privileges in order to be able to edit additional pages such as MediaWiki options, remove vandalism, protect pages when needed, delete unnecessary or unhelpful pages (which can easily turn up in page moves), and do similar tasks that would require sysop rights.

If you would like a full list of other wikis that I have registered on, it is available here. ~Troy 02:11, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

• Support - Same as above. HeadCaptain 18:51, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
• Support. I've very impressed with the record of your contributions to Coptic texts here, and I think it is crucial that these texts be supported. Your contributions also show both dedication and technical know-how. Since Coptic texts may be here for a long while, I think it is important that you have admin tools, which you can also use to contribute towards general maintenance as well. Dovi 21:39, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
  • I don't oppose this adminship. My only concern is whether he continues to be interested. After a flurry of edits in July, he has not edited here in two months, and he has been noticeably absent on en:wp, where he has the most edits. I have e-mailed him about this, and am awaiting his response. Eclecticology 01:49, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
  • I don't oppose either ThomasV 11:02, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
• I also support, however I don't see activity here or on en.wp. Eclecticology, has he responded to you? I think he should be given sysop as soon as he resumes activity here. John Vandenberg 00:50, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Vote for removal of administrator privileges

This vote is only for the admins listed under "Inactive administrators." Please vote whether you feel that the admins should keep or lose their sysop rights. As this site has no steward, adminship is removed through m:Requests for permissions. If you are being listed here, but intend to resume admin duties, please indicate this so that others can re-evaluate whether you should be desysoped. Sysops who are desysoped due to inactivity are encouraged to resume administration whenever they wish, either by talking to a crat or initiating a request above.
