Meta:Requests for checkuser/Mardetanha

Mardetanha

Hello all,

There is continued disruption at Meta, particularly from the cross-wiki vandals/trolls, yet the CheckUsers at Meta have in some cases been slow to keep up with the need for CU data. I'd like to ask you to add Mardetanha to the Meta CU team. He has experience as a CU on other wikis, and is currently a steward. Mard is still involved in SWMT, which is ideal for Meta CUs in particular.

Thanks,  – mike@meta:~$  17:51, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the nomination , i would be happy to serve as CU in meta, i hope i could have community's trust for this role on meta :) Mardetanha ^talk 18:28, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

• Comment Err - who has been slow at responding? (not a comment on Mardetanha btw) --Herby ^{talk thyme} 18:14, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

  What Herby said. --dferg ^{☎ talk} 18:56, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

  Me! Maybe others, but certainly me  – mike@meta:~$  20:51, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

• Question: - Mardetanha, you are a CheckUser at commons but are very rarely active. If you were promoted here would you plan on being active? Tiptoety ^talk 18:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

  As i already mentioned in commons page , due commons block in iran i have really restricted access to commons that is why i am not really in active in commons , though apparently from yesterday blocking was lifted in some parts of country but it's still blocked in my town . Mardetanha ^talk 18:58, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

  In fairness I encouraged Mardetanha to retain the rights on Commons knowing his situation. Things change and hopefully he will be able to be active there again. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:52, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

1.  Support - Mardetanha is a trusted user with CheckUser experience, and after their response to my question I am confident they will put the tools to good use. Tiptoety ^talk 19:17, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
2.  Support per gents on the above. I even think we at meta community can make ourselves an exemption of steward policy "not to use the power on your own community". We've been doing so on desysoping already, and in the earlier days stewards promote admin candidates without being "promoted" to local bureaucrats. --Aphaia 08:50, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
3.  Support, sure. Meta is not a project that can have too many of any kind of user group, as the project is the host of global vandal fighting and therefore full of people who know what they're doing. The more people have the rights the faster things are going and the easier all people can find time to do other things on their respective home wikis. :) --თოგო ^(D) 11:00, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
