Identity confirmed previously as steward candidate and checkuser by Cary Bass

  • Personlige oplysninger: Ja, her er jeg så igen med et ønske om at I viser mig jeres tillid. Det føles som om jeg har sagt den sætning en del gange før. I kan finde mange flere oplysninger om mig på mine brugersider og se også min Wiki Matrix. Jeg har været aktiv på online-projekter i mere end 20 år og på Wikimediaprojekter siden 2005. Jeg er blevet betroet rollerne som administrator og checkuser på den engelske Wikipedia; som administrator, bureaukrat, og checkuser på Commons; som administrator på den engelske Wikisource; som OTRS-bruger og som editor på wikimediafoundation. Ikke mindst har I vist mig stor tillid her på Meta, og takket være jer er jeg blevet både administrator, bureaukrat og checkuser her. At blive steward vil være det naturlige skridt fremad, for jeg ønsker at være til endnu større gavn. Jeg er som altid parat til at tage fat på alle slags opgaver herunder at overvåge siderne på diskussionsindexet. En stewards opgave er ikke at gøre tingene efter hans eget hoved, men at søge at finde en konsensus blandt brugerne og handle ud fra den. Spørgsmål og kommentarer er meget velkomne og jeg håber at I vil give mig jeres opbakning.

  • Informationen zur Person: Nun hier bin ich wieder, die Community um Vertrauen zu bitten, und um die Möglichkeit auszuhelfen. Mir scheint, dass ich dies schon häufig getan habe. Meine Wiki-Matrix zeigt Details und verschiedene meiner Benutzerseiten können dir viel über mich erzählen. Ich bin schon seit über 20 Jahren in Onlineprojekten aktiv  – in Projekten der Foundation seit Mitte 2005. Seit dieser Zeit erhielt ich das Vertrauen der englischsprachigen Wikipedia-Gemeinschaft (wurde dort Administrator und CheckUser), der Commonsgemeinschaft (Administrator, Bürokrat und CheckUser), des englischsprachigen Wikisource (Administrator), sowie der Foundation (OTRS-Mitglied und wikimediafoundation wiki editor) und besonders habt ihr mir hier auf Meta vertraut. Ich bin Administrator, Bürokrat und CheckUser hier, vielen Dank für die Unterstützung. Nun auch ein Steward zu werden ist der nächste Schritt meines Wunsches zu helfen. Wie ich es bisher auch getan habe, will ich bei allem helfen, das getan werden muss, einschließlich des häufigen Kontrollierens des Diskussionsindexes. Stewards werden gewählt und agieren mit dem Konsens der Gemeinschaft und entscheiden nichts eigenständig. Ich begrüße Kommentare und Frage und wäre dankbar für euere Unterstützung meiner Kandidatur.

  • Personal information: So here I am again, asking the community for trust, and for the chance to help out. I've done that a lot, it seems. My Wiki Matrix shows the details, and my various user pages can tell you a lot about me too. I have been active in online projects for over 20 years, and in Foundation projects since mid 2005. Since then, I've gained the trust of the English Wikipedia usership (administrator and checkuser), of the Commons usership (administrator, bureaucrat, and checkuser), of the English Wikisource usership (administrator), of the Foundation (OTRS user and wikimediafoundation wiki editor), and most especially, here on Meta you've trusted me as well. I'm an administrator, a bureaucrat and a checkuser here, thanks to your support. Becoming a steward is a natural extension of that desire to help. As I have already, I am willing to help with anything that needs doing, including actively monitoring the pages at the discussion index. Stewards seek out and act on community consensus, and do not decide things for themselves. I welcome comments and questions and I would appreciate your support.

  • Información personal: Aquí estoy de nuevo, pidiendo la confianza de la comunidad y una oportunidad par ayudar, algo que parece que he hecho muchas veces. Mi Wiki Matrix muestra los detalles y mis varias páginas de usuario también dicen mucho de mi. He estado activo en proyectos en línea por 20 años y en proyectos de la Fundación desde mediados de 2005. A partir de entonces, he ganado la confianza de los usuarios de la Wikipedia en inglés (administrador y checkuser), de los usuarios de Commons (administrador, burócrata y checkuser), del Wikisource en inglés (administrador), de la Fundación (OTRS, y editor en la wiki de la Fundación), y especialmente aquí en Meta, donde soy administrador, burócrata y checkuser gracias a su apoyo. Aspirar a steward es una extensión natural de ese deseo de ayudar. Como lo ya lo hago, estoy dispuesto para brindar mi colaboración en lo que sea necesario, incluyendo monitorear las páginas del índice. Los stewards buscan y actúan sobre consenso comunitario, y no deciden por si mismos. Agradezco las preguntas y comentarios, así como tu apoyo.

  • Henkilökohtaiset tiedot: Siis tässä minä taas olen, pyytämässä yhteisöltä luottamusta ja mahdollisuutta auttaa. Näyttää siltä, että olen tehnyt tätä aika paljon. Wikimatriisistani löytyvät yksityiskohdat, ja erinäiset käyttäjäsivuni voivat myös kertoa minusta paljon. Olen ollut aktiivinen onlineprojekteissa yli 20 vuoden ajan ja Säätiön hankkeissa vuoden 2005 puolivälistä alkaen. Siitä lähtien olen saavuttanut englanninkielisen Wikipedian käyttäjäkunnan (ylläpitäjä ja osoitepaljastaja), Commonsin käyttäjien (ylläpitäjä, byrokraatti ja osoitepaljastaja), englanninkielisen Wikisourcen (ylläpitäjä) sekä Foundationin (OTRS-käyttäjä ja wikimediafoundation wiki -muokkaaja) luottamuksen, ja mitä erityisimmin täällä Metassa myös te olette luottaneet minuun. Teidän tukenne ansiosta olen täällä ylläpitäjä, byrokraatti ja osoitepaljastaja. Stewardiksi tulo on luonnollinen jatko halustani auttaa. Kuten aiemmin, olen halukas auttamaan kaikessa, minkä tekemistä vain tarvitaankin, keskusteluhakemiston sivujen aktiivinen valvonta mukaan lukien. Stewardit pyrkivät saamaan selville yhteisön konsensuksen ja toimimaan sen pohjalta – he eivät päätä asioita itse. Otan mielelläni vastaan kommentteja sekä kysymyksiä ja arvostaisin tukeanne.

  • Informations personelles : Me revoici, redemandant la confiance de la communauté pour aider. Je le fais assez souvent, apparement. Mon Wiki Matrix montre les détails, et mes pages user vous diront beaucoup sur moi. Je suis actif sur internet depuis plus de 20 ans, et sur les projets Wikimedia depuis le milieu de 2005. Depuis lors, j'ai gagné la confiance des contributeurs à la Wikipédia en anglais (j'y suis administrateur et checkuser), de Commons (administrateur, bureaucrate et checkuser), de Wikisource en anglais (administrateur), de la fondation (volontaire OTRS, contributeur au wiki wikimediafoundation), et particulièrement ici sur meta. J'y suis administrateur, bureaucrate et checkuser, merci pour votre soutien. Devenir steward est une extension naturelle de ce désir d'aider. Comme je fais déjà, je suis prêt à aider avec tout, y inclus surveillant les pages sur Meta:Stewards' discussion index. Les stewards cherchent et agissent sur le consensus de la communauté et ne décident pas d'eux-mêmes. Toute question ou commentaire sont les bienvenus, et j'apprécierais votre soutien.

  • Eolais pearsanta : Is mé féin arís, agus me ag iarracht muinín as an chomhphobail. Dhéanaím é sin go minic, feictear domh. Tá níos mó sonraí i mo Matrix Vicí, agus ar phlé úsáideoira éagsúla timpeall an áit. Táim gníomhach i thionscadail idirlíne le breis is 20 bliana anois, agus i thionscadail Fondúireacht as an meán don bhliain 2005. As sin, méadaigh mé muinín as an chomhphobail ar Vicípéid Béarla (riarthóir agus checkuser), as an chomhphobail ar Cómhaoin Vicíméid (riarthóir, maorlathach agus checkuser), as an chomhphobail as Vicífoinse Bearla (riarthóir), as an Fondúireacht (oibrí deonach ar OTRS, rannpháirtí ar Vicíméid Fondúireacht), agus faoi leith, anseo ar Meta. Táim riarthóir, maorlathach agus checkuser anseo, buíochas le do thacaíocht. Síneadh nádúrtha le fonn cabhrú ata bheith im stíobhard. Mar a bhím, táim réidh chun cabhrú le aon rud atá le déanamh, ag déanamh faire go gníomhach ar an innéacs cainte san áireamh. Cuardaigh na stíobhaird le comhdhearcadh an chomhphobail, agus ní chinneadh iad rudaí leo féin. Beidh fáilte oraibh chun tráchtaí ná ceisteanna a chur chugam, agus tá mé buíoch as do thacaíocht.

  • Informasi pribadi: Sekali lagi saya di sini, meminta kepercayaan komunitas, dan kesempatan untuk memberikan bantuan. Saya telah melakukan banyak hal, tampaknya. Wiki Matrix saya akan memperlihatkan detilnya, dan berbagai halaman pengguna saya juga dapat banyak memberi tahu Anda tentang saya. Saya telah aktif di proyek-proyek online selama lebih dari 20 tahun, dan di proyek-proyek Foundation sejak pertengahan 2005. Sejak itu, saya mendapatkan kepercayaan dari komunitas pengguna Wikipedia bahasa Inggris (opsis dan checkuser), dari Commons (opsis, birokrat, dan checkuser), dari Wikisource bahasa Inggris (opsis), dari Foundation (pengguna OTRS dan penyunting wiki wikimediafoundation), dan terutama, di sini di Meta Anda telah mempercayakan saya juga. Saya adalah seorang opsis, birokrat, dan checkuser di sini, berkat dukungan Anda. Menjadi Steward adalah sebuah kelanjutan dari hasrat untuk membantu. Sebagaimana apa yang telah saya lakukan, saya ingin membantu dalam segala hal yang memerlukan, termasuk secara aktif memonitor halaman-halaman di indeks pembicaraan Steward. Steward bekerja dan bertindak atas konsensus komunitas, dan tidak memutuskan sesuatu sendiri. Saya menyambut semua komentar dan pertanyaan dan saya akan menghargai dukungan Anda.

  • Informazioni personali: Eccomi qua di nuovo, con la richiesta di fiducia alla comunità, e per la possibilità di dare una mano. È capitato molte volte, mi pare. La mia Wiki Matrix lo mostra nel dettaglio, così come le mie varie pagine utente possono dire di più su di me. Sono attivo in rete su progetti online da oltre 20 anni e nei progetti della Foundation da metà del 2005. Da allora, ho ricevuto la fiducia da parte della comunità della Wikipedia in lingua inglese (amministratore e checkuser), su Commons (amministratore, burocrate e checkuser), del Wikisource in lingua inglese (amministratore), sono attivo sui servizi della Foundation (utente su OTRS e sulla wiki della fondazione) ed, in particolare, qui su Meta dove ho ricevuto ancora una volta la fiducia della comunità. Come amministratore, burocrate e checkuser, vi ringrazio per il supporto. Diventare uno steward è un'estensione naturale dello stesso desiderio di essere d'aiuto. Come ho già fatto, cercherò di aiutare con tutto ciò che è necessario che sia fatto, incluso il monitoraggio attivo delle pagine che riguardano gli steward. Gli steward ricercano ed agiscono in base al consenso della comunità, non decidono da soli. Do' il benvenuto ai commenti e alle domande e apprezzerò il vostro supporto.

  • 候補者の情報: さて、私は再びコミュニティの信任を問うべく、またもってお手伝いする機会があるかお伺いするために参りました。私の活動についての詳細は私のウィキのアカウント一覧でご覧下さい。また私については私のいくつもあるユーザページをご覧下さい。私はネット上のプロジェクトに20年以上関わっており、ウィキメディア・プロジェクトには2005年中葉より参加しています。それ以来、私は英語版ウィキペディア（管理者・チェックユーザ）・コモンズ（管理者・ビューロクラット・チェックユーザ）・英語版ウィキソース（管理者）・財団公式ウィキ編集者と OTRS のボランティア回答者・さらには、ここメタでコミュニティからの信頼に基づくユーザ権限を与えられています。メタ・ウィキではみなさまのご支援のおかげで管理者・ビューロクラット・チェックユーザを務めています。こうした活動からおのずとスチュワードとしてお手伝いしたいと思うようになりました。現在すでにそうしているように、必要とされることなら何でもお手伝いしたいと考えております。スチュワード関連の議論をつねにモニターすることも含めてです。スチュワードはコミュニティの合意を求め、それに則り行動するべきであって、独断で物事を決めるべきではありません。ご意見やご質問をお寄せください。もしご支持いただければまことに有難く存じます。

  • Persoonlijke informatie: Ik ben er weer om het vertrouwen van de gemeenschap te vragen en om de kans te krijgen om mee te helpen. Ik heb dat al vaak gedaan, zoals ook blijkt. Op mijn Wiki Matrix zie je de details en mijn vele gebruikerspagina's vertellen eveneens veel over mij. Ik was reeds aktief in vele online projecten gedurende 20 jaar en in projecten van de Foundation sinds medio 2005. Intussen kreeg ik het gebruikersvertrouwen als administrator en checkuser op de Engelstalige Wikipedia, als administrator, bureaucraat en checkuser op Commons, als administrator op de Engelstalige Wikisource, evenals als OTRS gebruiker en wikimediafoundation wiki editor bij de Foundation en in het bijzonder op de Meta waar u mij eveneens het vertrouwen gaf. Dankzij uw steun ben ik hier administrator, bureaucraat en checkuser. Steward worden is normaal vervolg in dit verlangen te helpen. Zoals ik voordien al deed, wil ik helpen met alles wat gedaan moet worden, inclusief aktief bijhouden van de pagina's op de discussie index. Stewards zoeken naar en handelen volgens de consensus van de gemeenschap, zij nemen zelf geen beslissingen. Ik sta open voor opmerkingen en vragen en stel uw steun ten zeerste op prijs.

  • Informacje o mnie: A więc jestem tu ponownie prosząc społeczność o wsparcie i możliwość pomagania. Wygląda na to, że sporo już tego zrobiłem. Mój Wiki Matrix pokazuje szczegóły, a moje różnorakie strony użytkownika mogą o mnie powiedzieć jeszcze więcej. Jestem aktywny w projektach sieciowych od ponad 20 lat, a w projektach fundacji od połowy 2005. Od tego czasu zyskałem zaufanie użytkowników angielskiej Wikipedii (administrator i checkuser), Commons (administrator, biurokrata i checkuser), angielskich Wikiźródeł (administrator) i Fundacji (użytkownik OTRS i edytor wiki Fundacji Wikimedia), a w szczególności zaufaliście mi też tu na Meta. Jestem tu administratorem, biurokratą i checkuserem, dzięki waszemu poparciu. Bycie stewardem jest naturalnym rozszerzeniem mojej chęci pomocy. Jak już to robiłem dotychczas, jestem gotów pomagać we wszystkim gdzie ta pomoc jest potrzebna, włącznie z aktywnym śledzeniem stron z listy dyskusyjnej stewardów. Stewardzi działają w oparciu o konsensus społeczności nie decydując samodzielnie. Oczekuję na komentarze i pytania i będę wdzięczny za wsparcie.

A minha Wiki Matrix mostra os detalhes e as minhas diversas páginas de usuário podem dizer-vos muito sobre mim, também. Sou activo em projectos online há mais de 20 anos e em projectos da Fundação desde meados de 2005. Desde então, conquistei a confiança dos usuários da Wikipédia anglófona (administrador e checkuser), dos usuários do Commons (administrador, burocrata e checkuser), dos usuários do Wikisource anglófono (administrador), da Wikimedia Foundation (usuário OTRS e editor da wiki wikimediafoundation) e, especialmente, aqui no Meta também me deram essa confiança. Sou administrador, burocrata e checkuser aqui, graças ao vosso apoio. Tornar-me steward é uma extensão natural desse desejo em ajudar. Da mesma forma que já o fiz, estou disposto a ajudar com qualquer coisa que necessite ser feita, incluindo a vigilância activa das páginas no índice de discussão. Os stewards procuram e agem conforme o consenso da comunidade e não decidem coisas por si próprios. Comentários e questões são bem-vindos e agradeceria o vosso apoio.

  • Лични подаци: Ето ме овде поново да тражим заједници поверење и шансу да помогнем. Чини се да сам доста тога урадио. Моја Вики матрица приказује детаље, а разне моје корисничке странице могу такође да вам кажу доста о мени. Активан сам на онлајн пројектима преко 20 година, а у фондацијиним пројектима сам од половине 2005. године. Од тада, задобио сам поверење корисника на енглеској Википедији (администратор и чекјузер), корисника на Остави (администратор, бирократа и чекјузер), корисника на енглеском Викизворнику (администратор), фондације (ОТРС корисник и уредник фондацијског викија), а најбитније, имате поверења у мене овде, на мети. Администратор сам, бирократа и чекјузер овде захваљујући вашој подршци. Природно надовезивање те жеље да помогнем је да постанем стјуард. Као и раније, вољан сам да помогнем било где, укључујући активно праћење страница на дискусионом попису. Стјуарди делају на основу консензуса заједнице и не одлучују сами. Захваљујем се на свим коментарима и питањима као и на вашој подршци.

  • Personlig information: Ja, här är jag igen. Jag söker ert förtroende för att få göra nytta för Wikimedia i rollen som steward. Det känns som om jag har gjort det många gånger. Min Wiki Matrix visar detaljer om mig, och mina olika användarsidor har också mycket information. Jag har varit aktiv i online-projekt i mer än 20 år och i Wikimediaprojekt sedan 2005. Jag har anförtrotts rollerna som administratör och checkuser på engelska Wikipedia; som administratör, byråkrat, och checkuser på Commons; som administratör på engelska Wikisource; som OTRS-användare och wikimediafoundation editor. Inte minst här på Meta har ni gett mig stort förtroende. Tack vare ert stöd är jag administratör, byråkrat, och checkuser här. Att bli steward är en naturlig utveckling av min önskan att vara till nytta. Precis som förut är jag beredd att hugga i där det behövs, inklusive att bevaka sidorna på diskussionsindex. Stewards strävar efter samförstånd och agerar enligt konsensus; de bestämmer ingenting själva. Jag välkomnar frågor och kommentarer, och skulle uppskatta ert stöd.

  • 個人資料：我又來了，請求社羣信任，及一個幫大家忙的機會。這我做過不少，似乎。我的Wiki Matrix有詳細資料，而我各用户頁會告訴你很多關於我的事。我參與網上計劃已有廿年，2005年中我開始參與維基媒體。 自此，我得到英文維基百科用户的信任 (administrator and checkuser)、維基共享用户的信任 (administrator, bureaucrat, and checkuser)、英文維基文庫用户的信任 (administrator)及維基媒體基金會的信任 (OTRS 用户及 wikimediafoundation 維基的編者)；最重要者，在此元維基你們都信任我；皆因大家支持，我是這裏的 bureaucrat 及 checkuser。成為 steward 是那種相助渇望的自然延伸。正如我已在做，我願出力做任何要做的事，包括經常監視the discussion index。 Stewards 尋求並執行社羣共識，而不自行決定。我歡迎批評與問題，並感謝你的支持。

  1. (answering the question I think Cato is asking, Cato can feel free to remove this and replace with preferred wording... ++Lar) I am asking ... for Lar to clarify what happened in the !! case.--Cato
    A: I can't clarify everything that happened, only my part in it. I think this diff [1] (toward the bottom) documents the extent of my involvement. A recap: I was invited to join the Wikipedia Cyberstalking mailing list, and I did so. This list, not archived, and with the list of members kept anonymous, both for privacy reasons, included Durova as a member. A number of different topics were discussed on this list, including a lot of topics around identifing and coordinating blocking of the socks of stalkers such as Amorrow. Durova sent a message to the list outlining her thinking about w:User:!!. I read it, and did not comment on it at the time, although if hindsight was 20/20 I would have. That's the extent of my involvement, a failure to act, which I regret... as I said in that post "to my regret I read that writeup over somewhat cursorily, thought it was interesting, and didn't act further on it (as opposed to suggesting to Durova that it wasn't something I would be comfortable blocking on, which is what I WISH I had said instead of saying nothing)" Let me know if that addresses the matter sufficiently. ++Lar: t/c 23:51, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    This opposition does nothing more than create a bizarre insinuation. What do you mean by "relationship"? I suggest you either explain better and list diffs or remove your comment entirely, which serves to lead one to believe some odd sort of unexplained malfeasance. Lar has been an exemplary volunteer. Cary Bass demandez 23:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    What sort of insinuation are you making? Durova admitted that she had a secret mailing list that included one or more WP checkusers. Lar has admitted being on that list. You cannot be unaware of that fact. All I am asking is for Lar to clarify what happened in the !! case.--Cato 23:18, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    He was on a mailing list to which someone sent a rather foolish e-mail. Grief, I've been on lots of those. What does he have to explain? You are making an implication without any evidence or detail - which is rather scurrilous.--82.10.137.162 00:08, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Unfortunately, it's hard to maintain the balance between transparency and openness and the need to respect others' privacy and that's something that Lar, as a checkuser on enwiki, has to negotiate. This comes under the remit of the privacy policy and there's not a lot of wiggle room sometimes.

    I was profoundly disturbed that after tacitly endorsing the block of en:User:!! you nevertheless agreed to "clerk" the RfC about that block. You disclosed the conflict, but I feel you obviously should have recused. This seems sure to pass, and clerking an RfC is probably minor in the grand scheme, but I want to register my complaint. I really hope you never use your Steward tools in relation to an incident in which you are a party. --JayHenry 17:09, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I want to respond to this publicly even though JayHenry changed his opinion, for which I am very grateful. His point is well taken, I think. I suppose I could argue that the conflict of interest was extremely marginal at best but it really is best to avoid even any appearance of COI, and I did not do that. It's very important for Stewards, who are supposed to act on consensus and not decide things for themselves, who are in fact not supposed to do anything at all on their home wiki(s) (you know, I feel like I have 4 home wikis already, but there are hundreds more where I can help out) except in dire emergencies, to act at all times with the utmost care and the utmost fairness. It is very important to remember that, always. We are all of us human but I promise to do my very best never to forget. ++Lar: t/c 22:30, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  8. Due to participation on Durova's awful list, which helped to deceitfully coordinate blocks against undeserving contributors and attack contributors and administrators. Lar's participation on this list shows a preference for deceit and mistrust rather than openness, transparency and collaboration, as well as being in conflict with number 3 of Foundation issues. Lar has also admitted to performing privately requested checkusers for Durova; that sort of paranoid, stifling activity could seriously injure the growth of smaller projects, both in possible bans of good contributors and in putting people off with all the cloak-and-dagger nonsense.

    I want to address these concerns nonetheless, even banned users are entitled to opinions and entitled to have concerns. I've already addressed the cyberstalking list related matters elsewhere on this page, but I'll reiterate that I realised, in the short time I was on it, that the list did not work to address the serious stalking concerns that it was intended to address, which was why I have left it. On the matter of checkuser requests, the large majority of checkuser inquiries are performed due to private requests... that's part and parcel of the job. The privacy policy and checkuser policies address this. Every steward that the community elects, every checkuser that a community elects or that an arbcom approves, gets these requests on a regular basis, and has to evaluate each request to decide if the requestor has shown good reason for running a check. If a check is run, the results released need to be the absolute minimum necessary. In many cases, this is "none". See, for example this case on Commons (where I was elected CU with only one oppose) in which I ran the request but nevertheless declined to disclose the results for lack of justification. In the final analysis, the community has to decide if I (and every other steward candidate, for that matter) merit your trust. While the concerns raised have some validity, and I am not perfect, I think I do merit the trust of the community. ++Lar: t/c 18:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    (might be time to talkpage this, I leave it to others to make the call). I took this to mean that he has nothing personally against me, that it's a matter of principle/LULZ/drama (take your pick, but if it's principle, you theoretically should find opposes from him for every other current steward and every candidate who's a CU. Remember, all CUs are on private mailing list (being on the CU list is a requirement of the office), and all CUs get private requests all the time, per the privacy policy) to oppose me... And I don't think it's personal at all. Our relations have been cordial enough, given our relative block records. Also, after all, Miltopia has stated on Wikipedia Review that he bears me no animus and that he thinks I'm "too stupid to lie", which I take as a compliment (of sorts)... I also think that Miltopia unstruck his oppose after DarkoNeko struck it, because under the terms of this election, his two contributions to Commons (uploading a picture claimed as his own vomit so it could be used as a shock image elsewhere in the projects, and edit warring over whether or not to credit an image of recently generated human semen) do actually qualify him to vote. And to comment... even if he's actually here for drama/LULZ he's found valid points to raise and we should respect that. ++Lar: t/c 13:21, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    I agree that this is a valid concern. I wish I knew more languages. I am making an active effort to use my (limited) German every chance I get. This came up last year as well, and was addressed then. See Stewards/elections_2006-2#Lar_.28Larry_Pieniazek.29, in particular the supports from Pathoschild (#63), Spacebirdy (#67), Titoxd (#75), and Durin (#92), and the discussion in answer to the question from Spacebirdy. I put forward to you that even with almost all the current stewards reconfirmed, there is work enough for all the candidates now likely to pass and then some. So I hope you'll change your view, as this concern is valid but it's not necessarily overriding. ++Lar: t/c 16:19, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I originally shared the same concern, as you can see in last year's election. However, Larry has IMO the common sense to not use Steward tools in en.wikipedia problems if not absolutely necessary. There are other English-speaking projects for which he could use his tools without issues, and there are also non-controversial situations in which users that speak other languages make a request in English at RFP or the like. So, overall, there are still plenty of things to do, even as only a monolingual speaker. Titoxd(?!?) 19:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for sharing your thoughts. However, I still think that the knowledge of multiple languages, familiarity with different cultures, and experiences in foreign countries are helpful for a steward -- even if he processes requests that have been expressed in his native language. I believe that it makes a difference if you have lived for a while in a foreign county, spoken in a foreign language as this makes you aware of the subtle difficulties a foreigner might run into who attempts to discuss in your language. For this reason I strongly support the guidelines for applying stewards that explicitly expect multilinguality. But to make it clear: So far as I know Lar, he seems to be an experienced and trustworthy administrator and bureaucrat in multiple projects. And, if I take a look at the current number of supporting votes for him, I do not think that my vote is likely to hinder him from becoming a steward :) --AFBorchert 17:49, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I think your points are very valid. I'd point out that while I am US citizen, I lived in Canada for 2 years, and worked in several other countries (UK: 3 months, Switzerland (Schweitzerdeutsch speaking part): 1 month, Singapore: 1 month, Australia: 1 month, and others for lesser amounts)... but none of that experience is to the extent I think you're alluding to, the sort where you are completely frustrated because you cannot in any way communicate in your native language, because except for when I was in Zurich, where I used German in my daily life, but not at work, English was nevertheless the primary language. Still, you've now heard from several stewards that don't necessarily agree with you that this language issue is a deal breaking issue. I say this: Don't worry about the number of votes I have, worry about what outcome you want. If you truly think that this issue is going to prevent me from being a careful and effective steward, you should continue to oppose, as is your right (no, your duty, I'd say, if you feel strongly enough about it). I would also point out that I got a lot of opposes last time at the very end of the election, with no chance to respond to them at all, including (the one that put paid to my candidacy in fact) one at 23:59 on the last day, ironically enough. So the outcome here is far from certain, despite any margins at this time, and I am not taking it for granted, which is why I am trying to diligently acknowledge and address every concern raised. As I said, your concern is valid. I wish I had paid better attention as a young boy and learnt German better than I have. But, unfortunately, I did not. ++Lar: t/c 04:23, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  10. Oppose. Pretty much per my vote during the last year steward election on the same candidate. Candidates inclination towards secretive off-the record medium in discussing the wiki-related matters, when such secrecy is not warranted and harmful, remains my primary concern. This is primarily an ethical issue and I like to see candidates with no concerns along these lines at all. I see a noticeable evolution of the candidate's views but, additionally, his picking up the most sensitive WP-tool, the Checkuser access, without seeking the community support first shows insufficient respect of the community's opinion. Still, the candidate seems destined to be promoted and I have significantly less concerns over it that I had last year. --Irpen 21:23, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for acknowledging the evolution in my views, I appreciate it. I think Alison says it well, there is an important balance to maintain between transparency and respecting the privacy of others. As for my holding CU on several wikis, on Commons I was confirmed by my peers unanimously, and on Meta with but one oppose. On en:wp, where the need is great, the process, per policy, is that ArbCom, itself chosen by the community, evaluates candidates and decides who should have access. So I did pick up community support in all three cases, although perhaps you are referring to one case being indirect. (I suppose I could have sought an ArbCom seat just to get CU on en:wp but I don't have an interest in ArbCom and I saw the need at the time to be urgent enough that it was not something I wanted to wait till now to get) Hope that helps and thanks for making your views known. ++Lar: t/c 22:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  4. The involvement in the Durova incident is disturbing, but I odn't want mere "association" with Durova's lists to become a litmus test. In the absence information that Lar himself did something untoward, I shan't oppose him. :) --Alecmconroy 22:30, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
