Requests for comment/Tulsi advanced permissions and UPE

This is a subpage; for more information, see the Requests for comments page.

In this thread on en.wiki, there is clear agreement that Tulsi did not adequately respond to charges regarding paid editing and use of advanced permission when raised at meta.wiki in 2020. While that thread resulted in his loss of global sysop and global rollback, he still holds sysop privileges on meta, Commons, mai.wiki, mediawiki, ne.wiki and autopatrolled on vi.wiki and species.wikimedia.org (although I'm not sure there's any potential for abuse of that last one), in addition to holding WMF roles that I believe are outside the scope of meta-wiki. It is not clear why any of this has continued given his lack of accountability around paid editing on en.wiki, specifically including his abuse of privileges there. While I could see stewards declining to act on permissions granted on projects with active administrators, at a minimum meta.wiki sysop seems like it should be a given to remove at this time. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 19:43, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are specific processes for rights removal; at Meta it would be a request for de-adminship. However, I am not seeing any recent issues with Tulsi's contributions - has there been anything problematic within the last year? I understand that is after 2020 but still seems relevant - I can't follow on the enwiki thread how exactly he ties into the current drama other than past affiliations. – Ajraddatz (talk) 20:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be worth bringing it up on every project that Tulsi is an admin on. On Commons, this first requires an c:COM:ANU discussion. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 06:18, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SHB2000 Yes, I started. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 09:41, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And is unlikely to go anywhere because Tulsi has not violated any policies on Commons. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 00:50, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
