Barras edit

Hi all! I want to nominate myself for checkuser rights here on meta. I've been elected a steward here some weeks ago. I'm a regular editor/admin/crat here for quite some time and also hold checkuser rights on the Simple English Wikipedia. This gives me a good impression of what to do with this right. As a steward there are times when this right would be useful to have here on meta. I could in emergencies just grant the flag to myself as allowed by policy, but as an active user here I feel uncomfortable doing so to avoid any kind of conflicts of interests. This is why I ask for a permanent local flag. I hope I can be trusted with this flag and help here with investigating vandals and abuse and get the necessary votes. Thanks for consideration, -Barras 21:58, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments edit

  • While I have no issues with Barras, there isn't really a need locally for another CheckUser. Looking over the logs there can often be periods of time where no checks are ran. Tiptoety talk 07:07, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Barras has my complete support for this or any others rights but I have to agree with Tiptoety, there doesn't seem to be a great need for CU on Meta. Like Tiptoety said, there are long periods when no checks have ran, I think stewards can always fill in when there are exceptions. Theo10011 15:01, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
One problem is that while stewards are infinitely wise (...) they do not know who is online when they have an "emergency". There have been times when I've checked immediately on a block only to find a steward had decided no one is around and given themselves the rights. --Herby talk thyme 17:37, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This is why I clearly decided to not make myself a cu here and to make this request here instead. I could just follow WM:MSR, but I don't not really like this policy and follow more likely the COI policy. I see myself as active here and see this wiki as one of my homes and those I should not use my tools here. -Barras 18:07, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
