English:

The 2012–13 Confirmation will begin on February 8, and will finish on February 27th.

The 2012–13 Steward Confirmations are a good opportunity to check if we are still happy with our current stewards. To make the process as smooth as possible, here is how things are organized.

To comment, please log in with an account that has edits (on any wiki) before February 1st 2012. During the 2012 Elections, please mention if you are comfortable or unhappy with the use of steward tools of any of the people listed below and why. For example, you may mention inactivity. Inactive stewards, as stated in the steward policies, will lose their steward access.

At the end of the elections, the current and newly elected stewards will consider complaints left on this page, and choose to remove stewardship as necessary taking into account both the comments left by community and their own perspective and understanding of the job. All stewards elected before February 2011 will undergo this process. Confirmation for stewards elected in October 2011 is optional this year because they have not served a full year in their role. They will undergo a compulsory confirmation during the next regular steward elections in 2013.

  • Personal info: I am very happy to note that in the past year or so we have had an influx of new stewards from various projects, and as I hope that trend continues, I believe I can still be of use to the greater Wikimedia community as a steward for this coming year. I am reasonably active in steward-related activities, with the majority of my focus on checkuser. I am reachable, and respond, on IRC, meta, and via e-mail. Thank you for your past support, and I hope I remain deserving of your continued trust and support.

  • Personal info: This is my first steward confirmation, as I've only been elected one year ago. I think I've been quite active during this year of services. I've used the steward tools for various purposes, such as helping with crosswiki deletions and blocks (see my global sysop stats). I also dealt with vandalism and spam and locked and blocked many users and IPs. I also did many right changes, mainly to my own account to prevent more abuse and to remove abusive things, but also changed many other people's rights. I usually help everywhere, where help is needed, on IRC and also on-wiki. If you've any question, just ask me.

  • Personal info: Hello. This is my first steward confirmation as well. I have been fairly active in my role as steward (links: steward activity, Meta logs) by doing anti-vandalism/antispam actions such as global locks and global IP blocks. I regularly communicate on IRC responding to requests related to crosswiki vandalism (in the stewards channel). I hope that I can continue working with the current stewards and helping out.

  • Personal info: My general statement isn't that different from last year's : as a steward, I sometimes make a few mistakes but I think I'm not doing a bad work overall.
    For those not aquainted to me yet:
    • My home wiki is frwiki, the french Wikipedia. I arrived in nov. 2004 and became a sysop there in march 2005. I also worked there as a bureaucrat for 3 years (jun 2006 - sep. 2009) but gave up the bit so I could spend more time on other things.
    • I manage a bot named Loveless (see [2] and [3])
    • I became steward at end of 2006. I don't really do steward requests on wiki but rather use my availability time to take care of the emergency people tells us of on IRC (#wikimedia-stewards). My public steward activities (everything but Oversight and Checkuser) are viewable on this page ; those local to meta (like right changes) on this one.

  • Personal info: Still being one of the most active stewards, I could not have been as active as in the last years. On my part, that's mainly caused by a lot of stress at the university and in my real life. I also decided to organize the very successful conference Wikipedia trifft Altertum, worked a bit more on my now featured article de:Laokoon, became a member of the community project budget of Wikimedia Germany and later also a member of the Board. But the main reason because I couldn't be as active as before are my wonderful fellows who did so many useful things more efficiently than I could do in my scarce free time. I'm proud that I could organize the 2011-2 election where we found more helpful fellows who still ask me, as an experienced steward, several times for help. Thank you, my fellows! I'd be happy to serve the community with my experience and free time for the next term, thanks.

  • Personal info: Hi there. I've been a steward since December 2007, so I've got a lot of experience. Now, I know I haven't been using the tools that much lately, but that is mostly because I've had a shift in my life: I'm moved to the capital, got a job and changed my life completely, so I had little time left for much else. Once I fully adapt, I hope I'll be able to enhance my activity as a steward. I had long thoughts about whether I should quit or not, but several wiki-friends dissuaded me. I'll be thankful if I'm given another term to humbly serve Wikimedia and its projects. Thanks.

  • Keep Keep Dungo is a very kind and helpful person, even with those who were not so kind with him in the past. Always careful and with lot of selfcontrol. In situations of great tension, he always stayed calm and objective. He is young, but many older people can learn a lot from him. Strong support. --Maduixa (talk) 09:36, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose Regardless of such an opening above, I also have experienced a totally opposite approach of Dungodung. We did not have had much conversation for some time and one could say he might have changed in the meantime, of which I would not be as certain as someone who occasionally sees his comments on sr.wiki. I do not expect this vote to have much impact on the confirmation outcome, but I also would make remark that if the voting outcome was all that matters, we would never advance and become better wikipedians. I intended my vote to be warning that certain improvements can be made in the approach, which can be initiated either by the environment, or by the candidate himself. When I notice such improvements, my vote will change. 本 Mihajlo [ talk ] 07:50, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I honestly don't know what you're talking about. Can you outline briefly what problems you have noticed in my behaviour/wikiing? You say "improvements", but how can I improve if I don't know what it is that needs improvement. Thanks --FiliP ██ 07:16, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    For quite some time yet there is a trend that addresses not only the necessity of a fine work that can be measured through the protocolar and other logs on Wikimedia servers, but also makes more demands on existence of strong ethical norms built within a person that has taken the role and acts as a steward not only on the projects but also on other occasions that are of importance for presenting the community under a steward's hood. I would remind the whole auditorium that I only supported Dungodung before 2007 2011, so it would be safe to assume he did a few very wrong moves in the meantime to earn such a vote. I must make remark that, in my very belief, his personality has changed in the way I would take the liberty of finding ethically dislikable. Reading this, I do not really feel encouraged to post here about the things that would be helpful in making my point. Although it does not really surprise me Dungodung *does not remember* what he did wrong when presenting himself as a Steward -- of course, here he can deny every mistake that is not really linkable, and I am not about to give him that joy -- I would assume good faith and offer him simple live talk. There is a whole year till the next vote.本 Mihajlo [ talk ] 22:49, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, I understand that you have unresolved personal issues with Dungodung, and you voted the way you voted. But why you called a blocked sockpuppeter and his friends to come here to support you?Isn't that pathetic?--Wikit 19:39, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I am really displeased there are assumptions tending to reduce my partake in this vote to some low personal level, totally diminishing the need to assume I am acting in best faith -- for which I gave enough space to the best of my belief. As such, those assumptions speak rather of the ones who made them. But this comment above has gone even further to the level I shall classify as irrational shooting in the dark. Oh, I am getting it! The sockpuppeter guy below insults the whole lot of people and then I am the one to be addressed back by the ones who do not only fantasize I called him here, but also are trying to insult me back. I am just not getting how could *I* be called *pathetic* then. :D To elaborate: Thank you for the comment; it tells me how you are thinking and what you are probably doing on the sr.wiki project. 本 Mihajlo [ talk ] 08:11, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Како то тврдиш да су дошли по позиву само они који нису изразили сагласност, а ти си дошао спонтано? Зар није доказан супротан пример да су позивани гласачи и са друге википедије? Та „технологија” ти је много блиска. Ово смо гласање пресликали на излед гласања на ср вики и то захваљујући оваквој необјективности.--Sahara (talk) 20:45, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

      • I could agree with the word 'untrue', but 'lie' sounds too hard. Not only too hard, but it also might be incorrect, in case that the user believes all those allegations are true. Further diplomacy would lead us to the state of weak shock: 'I really do believe those allegations are untrue, and caused by the block you have on sr.wiki. I did not block you, so I would feel so free to assume you might be wanting to further damage sr.wiki by this vote and nothing more. Thanks.' 本 Mihajlo [ talk ] 18:26, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • To što je Dusanbasic blokiran je tvoja sramota, istorijat je malo duži. Tvoja prethodna rečenica je jeftin način za diskreditovanje neistomišljenika.

  • Personal info: Hello, there. This is my first re-confirmation as a steward, as I was only elected last year. As to my actions, I haven't been quite as active as I would have liked, but nevertheless got together a few steward actions. One of the first actions I did was nudging the people from Portuguese Wikipedia to elect their own bureaucrats, as a project of their size ought to have some. My professional situation has changed recently, which should give me more time to devote to stewardry on Wikipedia. I still believe that as a steward I can be of help to the many small wikis out there.

Comments about Eptalon

edit
Trijnstel, could you explain why you consider both of these cases to have been emergencies? The dewiki community did not share this judgement. Also the criticism wasn't so much that Eptalon did something that local Checkusers would have done as well, but the clueless way in which he/she tried to reign in in a very complex and high profile case whose eventual completion triggered wide media coverage in German media for weeks and months (this section alone lists 20 press articles).
And yes, we are all human and mistakes happen, but what is important is an ability to learn from them. Contrast this case, where I was happy to vote "support".
I don't question Eptalon's good intentions, but one of the most powerful user rights in Wikimedia projects should not be handed out based on AGF alone. There is a myriad of other ways to contribute which do not require the same level of diligence. Regards, HaeB 22:22, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Personal info: I am very sorry for creating my statement late. I have just returned from active duty with the British Army and have had zero access to the Internet for long periods over the last few months. I am hereby confirming that I am asking for reconfirmation as a steward for another year. I am a strong crosswiki abuse monitor and have many blocks/locks and other protection actions. I have also served the community by doing other steward actions including many checkuser actions. I have also had the opportunity to stand up for members of the community over the past year when incorrect or rash action has been taken against them. I am not liable to be called back to active duty at all over the next 365 days so I will be as active as I used to be. :) Thanks for partaking and understanding!

Sure. The enwiki incident was a poor misreading issue, as explained on my talk page. As for the OS in dewiki, it was while mass-OSing an excessive libel attack by edgar von-webren. I have opened many tabs and OSed one by one, without noting one of them was dewiki. I hope this is a good and clear reply,if you have any further questions I would be happy to answer. best Matanya 06:41, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    During current year I've been busy mostly investigating spambots and blocking blatant vandals, and other areas (hey ptwiki, would you please get checkusers again? ;)

    If I'm allowed, I'd also like to use this brief space to thank the wonderful people building our projects (remember, we're not just wikipedia ;) and particularly those who helped me over this year as I've been target (and some other users) of an ongoing coward harassment campaign originating outside wikimedia which led to me spending a large part of the year away, helping my home community dealing with this disruption. To all those wonderful people that give support: you are amazing.

    I participate in several roles across wikimedia, and as every year, I leave my talk pages open 365 days (and wiki mail and all the rest of communication ways) as input on my other roles is also always welcomed. And on the confirmation topic: I thank you in avance for all the comments below, if they're a support note I appreciate them and if not, I appreciate them as well. I assure you I will take note of them, as every year, in order to improve my work.

    Now.. how can I help you?

I think someone with such an important position in wikipedia (Steward) should not sabotage the donations to the foundation using your user page, threatening the existence of the project. "Magister. Why not donate to Wikipedia"[4] ¿A steward sabotaging Wikipedia?, it looks crazy
"I understand that Wikipedia is one of the 5 most visited pages on the Internet. I understand that maintenance costs are very high. I understand that hosting a site and cost $ 2 million. I do not understand is that $ 9 million earmarked for salaries. Magister. Why not donate to Wikipedia"

These proxies are listed on several spamlist, do you have some evidence of some mistakes? NOP is a general policy, basically local Wikipedias couldn't allow proxy editing. --Vituzzu 20:53, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Clarification. A couple years ago, the "Beard" article on eswiki had no picture. So I added mine. Eventually it got replaced and I never protested, nor reverted nor discussed it. And it is now being argued as proof I should not be steward?Now, how is this related to steward issues, once again, I point that this is a movement to use steward confirmation as a mean to vent local grudges. Now what, should I be punished for making an encyclopedic video (that even got featured on main page) and added it on es:Parábola (matemáticas) just because I briefly show up on it? es:Magister Mathematicae 20:59, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And relating to the block of proxies, I talked about it on the local pump in order to proceed and it is not related to my steward tools but a merely local issue,the action was prompted after several weeks of banned trolls abusing proxies (since their main ips were already blocked) in order to vandalize and harass on articles and userpages. So I applied m:NOP to put temporary blocks on many IP proxies. es:Magister Mathematicae 20:57, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was eventually replaced. I merely added an image to an article that 2 years ago lacked one. Then someone thought replace it with a better one and I'm completely fine with it. That's my sin. es:Magister Mathematicae 21:09, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You are not understanding my point and did not clarify anything, at least, in my eyes. The bottom line is not whether the picture is suitable for the articles, or wheter it is a good idea to make public private information of other users in the village pump, or calling "son of a bitch" to other users (who, to be honest, deserved that), but rather allowing yourself do edits that nobody else does. If everybody would behave like you es.wikipedia would be a jungle. As admin, checkuser, oversight and steward you should be an examplar user, and, in my opinion, you are far from that. Rather your style is -at least in es.wikipedia- as already said rude to others and haughty.
Regarding the proxies, of course I know NOP, and that is the reason why I suggested to him to coordinate something like that in meta instead of doing that in a local wikipedia. I am not aware of that there was any consensus anywhere.
Vituzzu, please, don´t ridicule my diff about the picture of the beard (there are other cases), I am talking serious. In fact I didn´t ever started this kind of discussion in meta, but in the last year I feel that Magister went far beyond the line and it needs a stop. Of course that all this applies mainly to a local Wikipedia, but I believe that if the job as admin in es.wikipedia is out of his depth, let alone the job as steward.
If you feel I abused my sysop tools on eswiki and I need to "be put a stop", there's a proper procedure to follow on eswiki in that regars. Meanwhile, I stand this is a grudge vote. es:Magister Mathematicae 23:16, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Grudge of what? Is this your way to presume good faith? You really seem not to know me a very little bit. If flags were the world to me I wouldn´t just give them up. About your suggestion to follow the proper procedure in eswiki, I will consider it. Anyhow, as I said, a steward job is a bigger number than sysop in any wiki and if I don´t consider that you cope with the latter, just cannot support you here. --Poco a poco 23:44, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Vituzzu, I would also like to use this opportunity to ask you to remove my sysop/bureacrat flags, as I asked 2 days ago. Keeping it in "hold" makes no sense anymore. I was a low profile (but one of the most actives) sysop user until now and will be a low profile user tomorrow, no big change. I am exactly missing a bit of that and of modesty in Magister. --Poco a poco 22:49, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Done btw I didn't ridicule you diffs, as you can see I'm paying attention to all other accuses, but frankly the "beard case" doesn't seem relevant to me. --Vituzzu 23:20, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was necessary to mention the previous username to sustain a local case related to her sockpuppetry.

Your statement, Magister, has absolutely no relation with her previous username, there was no need to point her real name again.
Yes, vituzzu, the log is public, but you have to know her previous username to find it, so he actually revealed this to all the users (and there's a lot) registered after the change, people that didn't knew (till now) what was her real name. This is graver since she is also suffering the same harassment from the same people Magister points below, something he knows well.
You know pretty well who are we talking about, so you are purposely misunderstanding the point, Nixón. Wikisilki 21:29, 10 February 2012 (UTC) Ps: I'm doing a real effort writing in english here, it's not polite to make fun on others limitations, Nixón.[reply]
If you need I can understand "plain" Spanish quite well. Well, you can see MM "lacked of grace" but this wasn't, definitely, a privacy violation. --Vituzzu 22:57, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I learn english by myself and obviously I'm not that good on writing. But I have no problem to do it (with a little help of online dictionaries). I just found Nixón's intervention disruptive and disrespectful.
Beyond the letter, the principle of the privacy policy is that you don't release personal information on an user if he/she doesn't want to. You can call this real-name-issue a "lack of grace"; as an active user in es:wiki and considering the background and development of the case (as the previous release of checkuser information of the same user outside the wiki), I see that differently and really grave. As I see it, it was a conscious and gratuitous offence deliberately done. That's my point, that's why I oppose. Wikisilki 15:41, 11 February 2012 (UTC) PS: Let me say that, besides this, I have Magister in high esteem as wikipedian and I sympathize with the situation of harassment that many wikipedians receive, and these are not empty words.

No solo eso, los nuevos usuarios salen espantados ante el trato de esta red clientelar. Aunque Magister está fuera de ella no deja de jugar un papel fundamental en sus relaciones de poder con esta red y el resto del bibliotecariado, llegando incluso a usar sus privilegios de checkuser para chantajear a otros usuarios. Ejemplo de Mar del Sur, perteneciente a esta red clientelar que tiene a la wikipedia en español en decadencia (por mucho que digas que no, no te lo crees ni tú Magister, muchos artículos destacados en portada son patéticos porque ha bajado el nivel de exigencia). Mar del Sur tenía una cuenta títere (Rapel) que Magister ocultó y usó en forma de chantaje para ganarse a alguien de esa red de indeseables (muchos penosos editores, prepotentes y con un claro grado de psicopatía). Así que Magister, ahí donde lo tienen, es un ser desalmado, que no le importa en absoluto nada wikipedia, salvo el poder que le confiere respecto a otros usuarios (para él "inferiores").

  • Comment Comment
  • There is not such network or group of users to which 3coma14 or I myself would belong to, neither now nor has been in the past.
  • I have not been blackmailed by Magister on this issue. I don't know about other users being subject to pressure by him.
  • I don't have any sockpuppets nor meatpuppets. I do have a husband, who is a Wikipedia user. This information and the fact, that we share one IP address was given to Magister as a checkuser by me via e-mail, shortly after my husband registered at Wikipedia (April 02,2010).
  • I also asked Magister for directions on how to globally change my user name on September 06, 2010. He knows well, I had (and have) profesional reasons to do so.
  • Since the editor/owner of the blog mentioned by Magister above in his presentation (and many visitors editing comments there) have also raised suspicions against me and Rapel, and I have also been a victim of spam, apparently originating from this blog, where they also insisted in linking my nick with private data (profession, real name, family relationships), I insisted with other sysops on the need of removing the links of my previous signatures in Wikipedia Discussions. I really do not think it was necessary for Magister to refer to my real name again.
  • The theory that Rapel and I are the same person was released by Magister in another external blog, which currently doesn't exist any more, but many sysops of es:WP, other Wikipedians (over 140 members, and many of the here voting pro and contra) participated. He came up there saying that this where results obtained by him as checkuser. I thought it was an error (it is most irregular to discuss checkuser information in a external site whitout asking Rapel or me before) but just a mistake. He saids, he has forgotten my e-mails and I forgive him. But I see that he still defends this theory and he changed a Wikipedia policy in order to declare sockpuppets people because of the mere fact of being members of the same family. It was not possible to discuss calmly about this, because he refused to restore the previous consensus. He asked for me to be blocked and for the expulsion of Rapel and both sanctions were executed within a few minutes, without letting us speak out in our defense.
  • I'm clarifying these things just for the record. However, this is not my reason for voting against his reelection, but mainly the fact that I disagree with his way of resolving conflicts, and still more with the way he has handled problems arising with novice users, as well as his behaviour solving problems outside of Wikipedia.

  • Comment Comment I find absolutely incredible the attitude of Spanish wikipedians that simply believe what this person says. I give him permission to reproduce the emails I sent him. There was no harassment by my behalf, because after my email calling him a SINVERGÚEnZa, which is exactly what he is, he blocked me infinite, being an interested part, without consultation or trying any formal repair. His arrogance is annoying, and you can't all believe what he says. The emails that I sent after where of pure impotence. I've always said that I'm sorry about that, but, in Spanish wikipedia, the sysops are over good and bad and take unilateral decisions without consultation. Anyone that knows me, knows that I was a good editor, only that I could not deal more with these attitudes and I was completely sick of the situation. For anyone that doesn know (and because they erase Userpages so that that carries on that way) I had 25000 editions, nearly 700 articles creates, 12 FA's and more than 50 GA's.

Disruptive behaviour? That's the idea you have. I sent that email because you are a sinvergüenza. What you have done whith editors like Rosymonterrey, Caskete, Elemaki, etc... has no name..
Facts are facts. You attacked me using wiki mail on august 26 while you were already blocked for 3 months precisely for attacking users. And it was certainly not your first block for that reason. So it's not truly accurate to say that you were arbitrarily banned because a whim of mine. You had a long long long trail of attacking users. As always in my case, I provide the evidence links. But.. you always omit that part when telling your side of the story.

Post it here! es:Magister Mathematicae 05:02, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did I ban him? Perhaps you'd like to review your facts one more time What did I do to Rosymonterrey, mind you? Did I block her? Did I ban her? Perhaps you'd like to review your facts one more time. You know, for example, Rosymonterrey was blocked (by some other sysop) since she openly admitted canvassing votes in order to rig a vote. Yet you come here damning me for doing somethign to her. Of course, if you're just looking for excuses in order to come here using the confirmation as a revenge venue, you don't need to be accurate with facts, do you?.

In addition, when he was a member of the now defunct eswiki Arbcom, he unilaterally revealed the private internal discussions of the committee without saying a word to the other members about it (I can't provide a link, Vituzzu, but I'm sure MM would like to confirm this). By policy, he must agree with the committee to do such action. And no external site was harrasing him on those days.
    We know that MM likes to expose himself publicly, it's not hard to find his real name, images (almost using Commons as Flickr) and his academic degree, heck, he even put images of himself in the Wikipedia articles (he coudn't find a better image to illustrate a beard, huh?) and in a essay (protecting the page [11] and using the abusefilter tool [12] in order to preserve the image). But when it comes to respect other people's right to keep some stuff private, he repeatedly failed, creating unnecessary conflicts.
    He should also respect the reasons given here to oppose his confirmation, not saying what can and what can't we say here.
    Bottomlime, I can't trust him because of his misuse of private data which leads to unnecessary conflicts. And someone said he should ignore the trolls, well, he does the opposite. --Ferrari 1 19:24, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This (the arbcom leaks, not the image-drama) may be the only serious issue to be keep in consideration (currently there are no other stuffs related, at least by far, with steward activities) but there must be evidences.--Vituzzu (talk) 18:13, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I'm just trying to establish that the ArbCom leaks and all the outings may be related to how MM behaves. These are not isolated episodes, but you're the ElectCom member and I'm not ;). BTW, so nice of you asking me for evidences few hours before the end of the voting period, I hope I'm not dealing with a deadline here. Still, I think that the easiest way is MM confirming this, but if he denies it or "plead the fifth", I'll see what I can do. For starters, the ArbCom used an external wiki site for their private discussions. For obvious reasons, only the members of that ArbCom term had knowledge of this. The site address was crc3.wikidot.com, you can check Internet Archive. So, at least one member had to leak it. Who? Well, here's an idea, we can ask them who did it. I may come back with more. I have to go deeper... --Ferrari 1 (talk) 20:00, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You know this aptitude to see plots everywhere is the worst visiting cart for you? As you can see I didn't take part at this discussion from the 10th to the 27th. Should I list all the plots I did during these days? By the way I found this which doesn't seem to be by far related to arbcom. Finally you are arguing MM was a member of the ArbCom, the ArbCom had a wiki and...then? --Vituzzu (talk) 21:25, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
While this seems to be related to. --Vituzzu (talk) 21:29, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Now you care about "aptitude", great. Why are you saying I see plots everywhere? I'm saying, I don't see right to doing this on the last day. I don't care what reasons you have to ask me for evidence today and not earlier, I'm just saying it's wrong, period. Also it's wrong the whole "you see plots everywhere", that was uncalled for. And you didn't answer, am I dealing with a 00:00 UTC deadline or not? Let's go to the argument, one more time. Step by step so all can get it. Eswiki ArbCom choosed to keep its discussions privately, the now defunct ArbCom policy allowed that. The only way to make them public is by agreement of the committee. For that, they used a wiki. No one knew about the existence of the wiki except the ArbCom members of that term, for an obvious reason, keep it private. One day, MM unilaterally revealed that wiki, with the purpose of exposing the private discussions. That was against the ArbCom policy because he didn't said a word to his fellows members. Any questions? I got one. Why MM isn't denying this? More evidence are coming. I hope. --Ferrari 1 (talk) 22:18, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So there was a leak from ArbCom, but how can you say it was MM? --Vituzzu (talk) 22:29, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm working on it, I didn't keep diffs. Some others ArbCom members complained about it and I'm trying to find those comments on eswiki, hopefully before Midnight UTC since you didn't tell me if it would helpful to provide this evidence after that deadline. Meanwhile, I found this other interesting "drama". Some days after the ArbCom leak, an eswiki sysop tried to built an external wiki for sysops' private discussions. MM also revealed that wiki address. This one wasn't against eswiki policy but still... like I said, I'm establishing a conduct.--Ferrari 1 (talk) 23:04, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I just stopped looking on eswiki, I coudn't find evidence, I'm sorry about that. I did find something outside wiki. A couple of quotes by ArbCom member (on those days) es:user:Góngora on a blog of current eswiki sysop es:user:Raystorm. I'll do my best translating one of the quotes, the original comments are here: 1 2. "Drini, without any doubt was out of line, because he made public the ArbCom wiki without knowledge or consent, of all those who, with him, were members of the mentioned committee".
Now you may ask for proof that those comments are legit, if they actually belongs to the eswiki user and former ArbCom member Góngora. Well, if you check out his blogger profile by clicking on his username on Raystorm blog, you would find some blogs listed, owned by Góngora. One of them is "Wikipedia semanal" (Wikipedia weekly), the same blog promoted a couple of years ago on his user page on eswiki. Also, the blog it's currenly promoted on Raystorm eswiki user page. --Ferrari 1 (talk) 23:54, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Una vez más gracias. Aunque me permito hacer una precisión: jamás he proclamado ser perfecto ni santo Job. Y me señalas un caso específico en el que perdí la paciencia tras varios meses de acoso continuado (acoso al que sigo sometido, por cierto), y sin embargo no me ves ahora perdiendo la calma. Y también estás sesgado (por un caso extremo) al no tomar en cuenta los cientos de ocasiones que durante varios años he intervenido y ayudado en situaciones conflictivas sin mayor problema. Pero supongo que es normal, el carácter humano es dar mucho más peso a una vez que se falle que a cientos de veces que se hizo el trabajo bien. Gracias por tu aportación.
Me acusas de corporativista y arbitrario. ¿No crees que si así fuera, simplemente hubiera borrado de forma directa esa página? Y por el contrario, te di mis opiniones y participé en un debate exponiendo las justificaciones de mi postura (que tienes todo el derecho de aceptar como inválidas, si no te agradan). Claro, si hubiera borrado la página me hubieras acusado de arbitrario, pero no haberla borrado no significa nada (sólo vale un lado de la moneda, entiendo entonces). ¿Y no estás de acuerdo también en que parte de los problemas también tiene su origen en usuarios que no son bibliotecarios? es:Magister Mathematicae 17:10, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment CommentI'm very Sorry Mar, but I think that this is the best place to talk about "the big question". And it's all about the 2 factions that have risen the last 2 years, and undoubtly and objectively, you belong to one of them, as it is a fact that Thor8 belongs to the opposite faction. What we are seeing here is that those mortal enemies are now allied against an uncomfortable foe. But the truth behind, the truth that MM is trying to bring to light is that those 2 factions are not so disparate and even have a common link, and, even more bizarre, they have another common link with a person that MM has banned globally for stalking the former ChapCom committee president. I know this link, and evidences have been shown to me.
It's time to realize that the es-wikipedia of factions is over. It's time to take this seriously as grown up people. It's time to forget and forgive, just to give a chance to this new wikipedia and the new users who never have heard about our fights. It's time to make people comfortable while editing, and it's time, I advice you MM, for not to be so rude and easy trigger. And that's all I have to say. Now, I'm very busy.Gustavocarra (talk) 17:12, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Comment I'm sorry, but telling that this poll is, except in some cases, faction-oriented, is far from being a personal question, it's just the naked truth. And no kindness or politeness are suposed to include my disclaiming to tell the truth. I'm not making any theory about your intentions, but only presenting my own one, based in personal contacts, emails and some strong clues as in some words told by me in private situations which have been repeated to me anonymously years before. And this person is the hidden link between "bloquéame", "la marrana" and amical. You tried to debunk and you got strong enemies in doing so, enemies who now look for retaliation.
I don't like your temper, I don't like the way in which you interactuate with others, and even I don't like the way in which you handle private information sometimes. But I can't shut up while the same people who now claim for privacy, two years ago hailed the exposing of personal data, I'm referring the Ray's case. And also I can't shut up anymore while people who are continuously exposing personal data in blogs now are blamig you for doing so, even when the "victim" belongs to the other faction. This all leaves you as the only one, the only guarantee who can balance all this madness, even when I disagree with you in other points. This is another debate.
Please, despoil yourself of that bad habit of telling me to hush, I'm grown up, more than you are. And start to listen. Gustavocarra (talk) 17:30, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Oppose Technopat (talk) 21:06, 23 February 2012 (UTC) While the controversy around Magister does not stem from his duties as a steward, but is almost exclusively due to events over at the Spanish Wikipedia, it does show that he has lost much credibility and can no longer count on the consensus vote of the community. Although he has, undoubtedly, long been a stalwart of the Spanish Wikipedia, a reference for those of us who have been editing there for several years, his way of dealing with things there over the last few months suggests that he take a break and reflect on what is at the root of much of this. After reflecting long and hard on the matter, I have finally decided to vote against the confirmation of Magister as a steward.[reply]
As can be seen from the lack of consensus here, the prevailing atmosphere at the Spanish Wikipedia is extremely unpleasant, and is due, in part, to Magister having "surrounded" himself a praetorian guard of biblios (admins) who seem to spend much time and energy at the village pump, on the IRC and arbitrarily blocking other, longstanding and dedicated admins and wikipedians. The net result is that many of these admins, with the tacit and implicit support of Magister, rather than devoting time to supporting the constructive work of an encyclopedia, are making many long-standing wikipedians, including myself, consider throwing in the towel and leaving the project.
It is clear that Magister has been the victim of totally unacceptable and vicious attacks, but so have several other wikipedians, and when he requested a vote of confidence, he received many, mine included.
As the Spanish Wikipedia no longer has an arbitration committee which could, in theory, help to defuse many of the extremely nasty conflicts which arise on an almost daily basis, this kind of situation will be a recurring feature of the Spanish Wikipedia, and Magister, a central and influential figure, is clearly not helping to resolve matters.
  • Keep Keep All those who speak of "arrogance" are those who don't remember what we´re doing here. Magister's work speaks for itself. He doesn't handle personal information with secrecy? Com'on, if he didn't, a lot of people would be out of the proyect a long time ago (sic). Real names? FYI: Google it. Campaign VS Wikipedia? If I remember (And certainly i do) "many" do not feel represented by the foundation or the chapters that exist. The beard theme, Illustrate an article i guess it's called... Would someone had a problem if the user was a Victoria's Angel wearing and illustrating a thong? Why not talk about the harassment he suffered and he remained ahead?

  • Comment Comment It is not my intention to cast a vote, since, for starters, my account does not meet the requirements to do so. Nonetheless, I want to leave a comment here, with the intention of setting the record straight regarding (of course, from my POV) some of the discussions on what has been called "the Spanish drama". I have spent several days tying all the loose ends about this drama, since the evidence is scattered all over the internet, and only part of it can be found in the wikimedia projects. There is a key point that I believe the ElectCom should take into account before making a decision on the steward confirmation of Magister Mathematicae (MM): Magister Mathematicae does not look as being harassed. There is no such thing as harassment in this case. He may perceive it as harassment, and it is natural for him to want to see it that way, since he is undeniably receiving some e-blows outside wikipedia. But the situation is not "harassment", since it appears that before that, MM willingly -yes, willingly- conducted a series of actions to taunt, provoke and challenge a number of banned wikipedia users. These banned users were either banned directly by MM, or their banning was supported by MM. After the banning, MM began to make fun of them, mock them, he engaged in name-calling, and of course received payback for this. Who started the conflict is now irrelevant, as I will detail below.
Sources of what I am mentioning are MM's twitter account @combinatorica, and MM's personal blog eswiki.wordpress.com. MM wanted to draw attention on him, and he got it with this behavior. Otherwise, how come that MM has banned many users over the years, and there has never ocurred a conflict of this magnitude before? Only the users banned in the recent year got some "grudge against him" as he calls it. The answer is simple: this time around, MM's behavior was to engage in a post-ban mock of the banned, bragging about his own untouchability, and making fun of the impotence of the banned users to replicate. A non-exhaustive list of examples follows:
  • [13] Before this post in his blog, MM had been virtually unnoticed, at least in the antagonistic blog MM despised, the banned users were focusing their grudges mostly against other admins. MM threw himself in the arena with this post, and deepened his involvements in the commentaries. The post is practically inocuous, but in the comments to the post, MM himself merrily entered into the name-calling game: "los cerditos se enojaron, uuuuy" (traslation: "the little pigs got angry, oh my")
  • [14]. This nickname stuck among MM's friends in es-wikipedia, and now all of them call the banned users "the pigs", both outside and inside wikipedia
  • [15] resorting to name-calling again
  • [16] "Problem, Petruss?" - MM challenging one of his antagonists this time from his twitter account, using the well-known trolling expression. This twit was published two days after user Petruss was banned permanently from es-wikipedia
  • [17] translation: "its clearer and clearer that the piggies' boat is sinking"
  • [18] -MM created the hashtag #oinkoink to again taunt them
  • [19] - MM bragging about his position as an admin. RECAB is the procedure in which an admin is reconfirmed or removed in es-wikipedia. The twit says "Now I learned that there is a RECAB coming for me, MWAHAHAHAHA"
There are many other examples, some of them as screenshots uploaded even in the blog despised by MM (where MM was also a commentator before he decided to engage in this petty little war). Understandably enough, MM might have received many unpleasant emails and he has been for sure been publicly criticized and ridiculized outside wikipedia. His response? He decided to ignore the fact that he participated in starting the fire. He decided to bring back this war into wikipedia again, writing in the village pump of es-wikipedia on 11/26/11, this time around publicly calling S.O.B.'s to the ones he previously called pigs.
To finalize, I do not know who is right and who is wrong in this silly war waged in twitter and blogs; perhaps both sides are at fault. This is not really relevant to my comment and perspective. What is actually relevant, is that one of the parties involved is a wikimedia steward, checkuser and admin who chose not to simply ignore it and let it pass but chose instead to immaturely enter into the conflict. This individual, being what he is, has at his disposal the checkuser and admin tools attached to his wikimedia roles (whether he has used them for his fights or not is also irrelevant, the fact is that his position is supposedly above this type of conflicts. Before 2010, he had behaved maturely and role-modeling, but now he seems a completely different person who not only is part of this conflict, but also keeps bragging about his unbeatability, calls for a boycott on the donations to the foundation, and publicly makes fun of the executives at wikimedia). This kind of personality in a steward of wikimedia is concerning. We expect that a steward, checkuser and admin will behave with maturity, keep his temper, lead by example and be a role model of what wikimedia stands for. Regrettably what I gathered from reading all the drama, is that the individual with most capabilities in es-wikipedia, turned out to be exactly the opposite; and not because of alleged harassment, but because of his willingness to engage in puerile playground bullying. The saddest thing is that MM does not realize that he is as guilty as any of his antagonists for the escalation of this conflict. I cannot conceive that any other steward would behave in the same immature way. If anyone wants to taunt, provoke, and in sum, wage petty playground wars, ok, that is their decision, but should a wikimedia steward behave like that, for months? The ElectCom should decide on that.--Uponieft (talk) 17:01, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, do you think a clear "single-shot" account can be trusted? --Vituzzu (talk) 18:09, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It depends on our proficiency in logics. Being a single-shot account does not render the arguments invalid. You may choose to ignore them, but that does not make them less true, it will only be a huge flaw in the evaluation process. Anyways, if the process does not rely upon who is bringing the arguments, but the arguments themselves, you can follow all of the links and draw your own conclusions. --Uponieft (talk) 18:47, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(Actually it's quite easy to find your main account, without a checkuser) but it's true thesis shouldn't generally evaluated basing who is writing them only if there are strong evidences. Your evidences show an heavy level of conflict among MM and a certain (maybe many, I cannot evaluate) es.wiki's users, but, again, there's nothing related to stewards activities: if MM would be even undef. blocked on es.wiki he will go on being a stewards, unless there are misuse of stewards' tools. --Vituzzu (talk) 20:05, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry, but anyone can get confused after seeing the extreme fervor used by MM to try to dismiss negative votes [20], [21], or the vehement defense (again, non-steward related) that MM's friends are making [22], or even your interest expressed in poking all the details of non-steward related comments [like line 163. Believe me, this page's debates are far from being straightforward. Now to the point, since I don't want the ElectCom to miss it. First, after reading my long comment I hope that all attempts from MM to dismiss the negative votes arguing they are "accusing him out of harassment" are disregarded; these votes have the same value as others as there doesn't appear to have been any harassment. Second, my long intervention may not point to a clear violation of Stewardship guidelines. However, let us not be so naïve as to think that a user might be able to kill Jimbo and still get away with being a steward. It is of course expected that a user has to have a minimum trait of personal integrity, ethics, and reliability. The policy does not mention it expressly, but it doesn't need to. In my intervention, I attach links that demonstrate that MM is not reliable. Filter out my personal opinions and let the facts presented speak for themselves, that should be enough for drawing conclusions. I am also saying that the ElectCom should reflect on whether this is the type of person they want to have as wikimedia steward. That's it. --Uponieft (talk) 22:53, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Venía a decir lo mismo: ¿por qué no es confiable su testimonio? Si dice la verdad, qué tiene que ver que su cuenta tenga una sola edición? No sería mejor comprobar si lo que dice es cierto? Lo que no causa la menor confianza aquí es que se descalifique un argumento, solamente porque el usuario ha tenido que apelar a una nueva cuenta para expresarlo. Algo, por lo demás, esperable, en tanto que existe el temor razonable de que cuando uno se manifiesta en contra de injusticias y abusos de bibliotecarios, en la Wikipedia en Español pasa a ser el blanco de estos mismos abusos. Lamentablemente en diversas ocasiones el mismo Magister ha sido promotor, por obra o por omisión, de ese estado de cosas.
Yo, por mi parte, doy la cara y hago mía cada una de las palabras del anónimo. ¿Yo tampoco soy de confianza?
Algunos puntos para agregar. El hecho de que Magister se defienda con uñas y dientes ante cada voto o argumento en contra es en sí mismo un síntoma de su extravío. Se ha anquilosado y quiere conservar su cargo, como si este por sí mismo fuera deseable y un premio. Ha perdido el norte. Cualquier persona que mantuviera su centro, en su lugar habría renunciado no sólo a su cargo de Steward, sino al de Checkuser y el de Bibliotecario, y esto, sin esperar remociones forzosas. Aquí han venido no solo usuarios bloqueados y participantes de blogs que lo acosan: hemos venido muchos usuarios que no somos parte de la guerra que él mismo ha sostenido e incrementado con sus intervenciones. Esto debería haber sido suficiente para convencerlo de renunciar y que esto no es ni un acoso concertado externamente, ni todos somos sus enemigos. Él sí es parte de esa guerra, y tiene su derecho, pero lo que no debería haber hecho es tomar decisiones en las wikis que tengan como horizonte tales escaramuzas.
Se le haría un gran bien a MM si se le retira el permiso de Steward, ya que él no puede tomar la decisión por sí mismo por haber perdido el punto de referencia de su conducta en Wikipedia. No solo merece, necesita un buen descanso para replantearse su rol. --Juan José Moral (talk) 18:58, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This graph (Note: incomplete sometimes, it's a new tool) shows my workflow during this year. I continue being an active participant in our mailing lists stewards-l and checkuser-l; on IRC and in our OTRS queue, where requests for help and advice often arrive and so I am glad to try to help there too. With more than 1,600 steward actions for this year and more than 5,300 steward actions since I was appointed; I am the second most active steward in the team. I humbly consider that I have been fairly active this year and served for the purpose I was appointed two years ago. If the community is happy with it I would like to continue serving as steward for another term. Comments on my work as steward are most welcome. Thanks for reading. Best regards. —MarcoAurelio 19:21, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Besides watching the stream of unifications on IRC, I typically handle SRG, SRP, VR, and less often SRUC and SR/SUL. Ultimately, I'd be unable to objectively judge whether my level of activity is sufficient, or whether my actions are adequate - so I'll leave this for you to decide! :-) -- Mentifisto 02:42, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Personal info: Hello everybody. I have been a steward for the past year, and I would very much like to continue in the role. I have been fairly active, responding to requests in all areas. I am also regularly available for emergencies on IRC, and have responded to a number of these.
    I have a good understanding of the steward policies and am not afraid to act for the best in emergencies, asking others for advice where necessary. I hope the community is happy with the work I've done so far. My logs speak for themselves, but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Many thanks.

  • Personal info: Hi. This is my first steward confirmation (I should be confirmed in one year as I was elected on last elections but I prefer to hear your impressions right now). During this period, I've dealt as promised with on-wiki steward requests and have tried to do the best I can to answer user requests on IRC. But last months I've especially worked on improving the way stewards can detect long-term vandals and on repairing their damages. I really invite you to check my steward actions and to tell me if you have any suggestion that could make me improve the way I work as a steward. Thank you.

  • Personal info: The time actually passes quickly—I become a steward less than a year ago and now there is my first confirmation. During my first year I have tried to be useful to the Wikimedia Community by making userrights changes, processing CU requests, helping users to rename their accounts and occasionally engaging in antivandalism/antispam activity. I still have not lost enthusiasm for this role and wish to continue to serve as a steward. I hope that the community will support me. Thank you.

  • Personal info: Hi everybody! I have been a steward since late 2005. I have been active in the past year, processing requests in Steward requests, and check open proxies, and block cross-wiki vandalism. I would like to continue to serve the wikimedia project community as a steward for 2012. Thank you for your past support.

  • Personal info: (Unfortunately?) per my election statement, I do not have as much time to devote to Wikimedia projects as I would love to - combined professional, family and school duties do not always allow me to be aware of what I am doing (OK, let us just say I am not always that full of energy to act). Still, I try to hang around, offer any word of advice that I can spare if I know the correct answer, and try to react in emergencies, especially when being called upon to do my steward duty while on IRC. If the Community accepts my limited availability and occasional grumpiness, I will be happy to serve yet another term as a Wikimedia steward.

Yeah of course, it's why I used the brackets ;-) . But I mean if we a have to give this tools, I prefer to transmit it to peoples who'll really use it than to peoples who'll sit on it. By the way I don't tell they are inactives in generals, I'm sure they take lot of time to take care of sysop tasks or just contribute to some projects. But if they prefer spend more time to their projects than took care of stewards tasks so maybe they shouldn't purchase the steward tools. It's my point of view and I express it on this confirm 2012 with a neutral. V!v£ l@ Rosière /Murmurer…/ 02:25, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
