User:Jason Quinn

  • Projects where I'm involved: 99% only at w:en:link, 0.5% at Commons, 0.5% misc. wikiprojects
  • E-mail address: jason.lee.quinn gmail.com
  • Reason why I need an account: I have mentioned in a discussion that it would be good to extend the pages
further into the past by scanning the annual reports and other relevant public documents that might have pertinent information. I see great value in having that information consolidated and easily accessible. en:User:MZMcBride mentioned that I need an account if I should do this. Jason Quinn (talk) 17:04, 31 January 2013 (UTC) [reply]
All set. Thanks for volunteering to help out! --MZMcBride (talk) 18:08, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Benoit Rochon

  • Projects where I'm involved: I'm an editor on Wikipédia since 2006, on Wikimedia Canada Board of Directors since 2011, I'm an admin on Commons and Wikidata, and involved in GLAM projects.
  • E-mail address: brochon wikimedia.ca
  • Reason why I need an account: I've always wanted to ask an account, but I procrastinate too long! Now it's time to ask for it. I'm French Canadian and many times I wanted to update and clean up French pages on the Foundation Website. Yesterday, I was sending an official email to a GLAM institution, with a link to Our projects/fr... Wikidata and Wikivoyage is not showing!
So I told myself, that's it!!! I need an account in order to update and clean up the French version of our central, our official, Website! Thanks for your trust. --Benoit Rochon (talk) 18:44, 8 February 2013 (UTC) [reply]
All set. Thanks for volunteering to help out! --MZMcBride (talk) 18:47, 8 February 2013 (UTC) [reply]

PinkAmpersand

  • Yep. Sure. wmf:MediaWiki:vector-view-viewsource has been changed to read "feedback"; presumably, this change was intended for the "discussion" tab message, or a related one, and therefore should be reverted. I'm fine with it if you'd prefer not to give me an account, then, though I'm sure I'll notice other things needing fixing as I periodically stumble onto foundationwiki. Sorry for not noticing the link to FWF in the notice on this page – I followed a link straight to the preload window. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 00:49, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Thanks for volunteering to help out.
Please note that the MediaWiki namespace is open to editing by any user on wikimediafoundation.org. Plus be very cautious when changing messages (pages in the MediaWiki namespace). In this case (with wmf:MediaWiki:vector-view-viewsource), it's not clear why it's no longer seemingly taking effect. You can always ask on a talk page or wmf:Project:Babel if you have any questions, particularly if you're unsure whether your change might damage the user interface. :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 02:42, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Puppybarf

  • Projects where I'm involved: w:it:Special:Contribs/Puppybarf
  • E-mail address: puppybarf tiscali.it
  • Reason why I need an account: I'm an active contributor expecially on Wikipedia and Wiktionary (Italian versions), and I'll be able to translate from English to Italian. Puppybarf (talk) 01:31, 12 April 2013 (UTC) [reply]
    • I was a little uneasy due to your username ("Puppy barf") and the lack of a user page here (or on your home wiki). Plus your account was created rather recently (in 2012). But... we always need translation help and none of your editing seems particularly problematic. Plus nearly all wmfwiki accounts are inactive, so I doubt you'll do anything too crazy. Okay. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:47, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • E-mail address: morton.thomas googlemail.com
  • Reason why I need an account: I'm a tech contractor for Wikimedia UK, we recently had an issue with a Foundation Wiki donations page disappearing whilst still actively used by us to direct people to donation forms :) having an account would let me fix such issues ASAP without bothering other people. --ErrantX (talk) 21:54, 23 April 2013 (UTC) [reply]

Liangent

While we love people who are willing to help out, requests for accounts to do unspecified "maintenance work" are typically not going to be approved. If there are specific projects upon which you wish to work, please let me know and we can re-evaluate. Thank you! Philippe (WMF) (talk) 13:03, 23 May 2013 (UTC) [reply]
Liangent is an active MediaWiki developer. You should be grateful he's offering to help with technical maintenance of the site. Please approve this request. --MZMcBride (talk) 20:23, 23 May 2013 (UTC) [reply]
I would be very happy to approve the request, in keeping with the published rules here, once he points out specific projects upon which he wishes to work. We don't pass out accounts except on an "as needed" basis. If there are specific tasks that he wishes to do, I absolutely support that and will happily approve it. I see nothing in my review to demonstrate that he would be anything but a net asset, but one of the reasons for the recent actions was to clean up the number of inactive accounts, and approving accounts that don't have a stated purpose flies in the face of that. Philippe (WMF) (talk) 20:28, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me? You wrote "... but one of the reasons for the recent actions was to clean up the number of inactive accounts ..." Can you please explain what you're talking about here? --MZMcBride (talk) 23:07, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
