Spacebirdy edit

(RfP closes when 25 supports are reached)

Dear all, I would like to ask for checkuser-access on Meta for having primarily permanent access to the checkuser-log, to learn from experienced checkusers here on Meta and maybe to help out due to the fact that I am quite active here. Thanks for Your consideration, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 13:30, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Do you think you have sufficient knowledge of IP addresses, proxies etc to be able to fulfil this role well? Majorly (talk) 13:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I am working against vandalism since more than two years and I believe to know enough about IP adresses and proxys to do this well. (please note, that I also get to RfCU on other wikis) --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 14:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question/comment. As long as you have time to spend learning the ropes, I see no problem extending the privileges to a trusted user. Do you have time? (Kinda assuming you do since you made the request, but it does not hurt to ask.)FloNight 13:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Imho "learning the ropes" (just learned a new expression here) has not to be done in one day but I can schedule it, so yes I can spend time learning but of course not 24/7, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 14:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I don't see anything wrong with this request..she is very trustworthy and will be able to use the tool wisely..--Comet styles 13:49, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If what you wanted was log access and not to run checks here, any steward can have CU at meta for that, there is no need for a vote (with the understanding that it is taken away again if you are no longer a steward), just a request for the permission. However it appears that you want it for more than that, so Support. ++Lar: t/c 14:18, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very active Meta admin/steward; if she wants it, why not? I for one am very glad she has put herself forward for a vote, and I encourage any other steward to do it this way. Majorly (talk) 14:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Instead of granting herself the access, she chose to do it in the right way by asking the community for permission. Trusted to have CU access. --Meno25 18:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In practice Meta does not need further Checkusers. It is a small wiki and there is little to do. However I have always felt that CU is often used to its best when employed by front line RC watchers. Equally I do have concerns about the ability of stewards, who are inexperienced with the tool, using it in complex cases and I reflect on how little I knew when I started using it. Given that need to learn & complete trust of Birdy, & the fact that she is one of the best RC patroller I know, I will Support this --Herby ^{talk thyme} 09:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
