Stewards/Confirm/2017

Translate this page at Template:Steward confirmations.

The 2017 steward elections are finished. No further votes will be accepted.

The 2017-18 Confirmation will begin on 8 February, and will finish on 28 February.

The 2017-18 Steward Confirmations are an opportunity for the Wikimedia community to comment on the performance of existing stewards. To make the process as smooth as possible, the confirmations are organized as follows.

To comment, please log in with an account that has edits (on any wiki) before 8 February. During the 2017 Elections, please mention if you are comfortable or unhappy with the use of steward tools of any of the people listed below and why.

After the election, stewards (including the newly-elected ones) are invited to review the confirmation comments and to give their impression of the outcome (consensus to confirm/remove etc.) on Talk:Stewards/Confirm/2017 for every steward who stood for confirmation. Of course, they are not required to do this for every candidate and will be especially careful to do it regarding someone about whom they expressed strong opinions in the confirmation. Non-steward comments are welcome outside of the "Final Decision" section, subject to the usual expectations of civility. Confirmation discussions will last one week after the appointment of the newly elected stewards. This may be extended to two weeks for one or more confirmations at the discretion of the Election Committee if the committee believes further input is required before concluding. The Election Committee will close these discussions and implement the outcome (which also means making a decision in non-obvious cases).

All stewards elected before February 2017 will undergo this process.

Personal info: Hello everyone. I've been a steward for three years now, and with your permission I would like to continue in that role for another year. I've maintained a reasonable level of activity since being elected, and you can view a breakdown of my activity this year at this page. Most of my work in this role deals with responding to cross-wiki abuse, assigning local permissions through Meta-Wiki, and participating in discussions with the group as a whole. If confirmed, I will continue to be active in these areas. Outside of the steward role, I am still an active member of the Wikidata community, and I occasionally write some articles on the English Wikipedia. As always, if you have any questions, I would be glad to answer them. Thanks, – Ajraddatz (talk) 07:18, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We are talking just solution of the voting procedure Administrator User: Jaloliddin Madaminov, which ruled User: Ajraddatz 19.01.2017.

Yes, and there are two other users from that wiki (including one of the accused) arguing that the checks shouldn't happen. I don't want to be drawn into a local conflict; please file a request on m:SRCU, present your evidence, and then either myself or another steward will handle it. – Ajraddatz (talk) 18:50, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Personal info: As per previous years, I would like to express my gratitude for the community's continued trust in my contributions, and I would like to continue in this role for the upcoming year. While not the most active steward, I believe I contribute value in almost all steward areas, especially in discussions and decisions which may not always be visible on-wiki due to privacy issues. While I have reduced my Wikimedia-wide activities this past year (having voluntarily relinquished Oversight on the Commons) I think that the experience I bring from various janitorial positions across the projects will continue to help the corpus of Stewards in the coming year. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 16:30, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Remove 11/12 months with less than 5 steward actions and 4/12 months with 0 actions do not leave much of a basis for prolonged access. Little visible use of access has been criticised by many in the past years as well and now claiming to have reduced Wikimedia-wide activity even more does not look promising at all.

Remove Really too little use of the steward tools. Global renames can be done with Global rename rights only. And I don't agree with the argument about his contributions "behind the scenes". I didn't remember anything interesting from the past year, so I now searched my mail archive, and sorry to say, but I found no valauble contributions to difficult "discussions and decisions". --MF-W 17:08, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still neutral on this for now, but I don't think that Avraham is very active in our internal discussions. He has made it to a couple of the calls, but there is almost no activity on the list - especially on the difficult cases where his input could really be valuable. – Ajraddatz (talk) 22:05, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @MF-Warburg and Ajraddatz: Avraham has no global rename rights. If he loses steward rights, then he can't rename anyone anymore. Besides that, he also used the steward rights for 2 CU cases in April ("second opinion") and in Decembre and did a lot of other right changes (see Special:Log/rights/Avraham) which he all can't do anymore without steward rights. Then other stewards certainly have to do more. I don't see a logical reason for that, if he does things well, and there is noone doubting that. I don't see another reason for removing here but only "inactivity", but he's not that inactive. --Bjarlin (talk) 13:45, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - As I said, I'm neutral on this request. I generally don't agree with inactivity as a valid rationale for removal, without some indication that such inactivity is causing errors. Or if the person is totally not here anymore. – Ajraddatz (talk) 19:38, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - No concerns, experienced and overall a quality steward. I personally am not overly concerned about the activity level as Avraham's judgment is sound and in my estimation it cannot hurt to have more qualified stewards (the work has to be done by someone, why not spread the burden as much as possible.) Mifter (talk) 01:55, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I believe his presence as a steward will be a net positive for the team. While his activity is low, that should be possible to fix, and there were no issues with his actions pointed out. --Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 02:11, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep While Avraham's activity levels are never particularly high, I've always noticed that he brings a different perspective to most steward issues, and is an excellent "bridgebuilder" in thorny situations. I see that some stewards above have noted that there's been little input from Avi behind the scenes, which is a pity and I hope you can take part more in the future!

Personal info: Hello all! It's been a great time since I've been made a steward back in 2011. I've since then been usually around. In the past year, I suffered from serious health issues from which I currently try to recover. That is the reason why I was not really active in the last term. I'm currently not sure how much my activity levels will rise. I already dropped a few rights in November last year and I guess it's simply about time to also drop my steward rights. I really enjoyed the time and I'd certainly love to keep my rights, but I'm currently not really helpful and have no clue when I will be able to return to some more stable activity. After thinking a long time about it, I decided to not seek confirmation this year. I will, however, try to stick around. -Barras talk 13:27, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Personal info: Hello again all, and Happy Chinese New Year! I'm here to ask for your support for another year of stewardship. I'm mostly working with blocking spambots, and also sometimes requests via IRC every now and then need immediate response. Also I've started helping with steward's tickets starting last year. In 2017, there will be some major changes in my personal life, but I'm still aiming to be more active month-per-month basis from last year. Thank you. ✒ Bennylin 11:45, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments about Bennylin

Remove Sigh. I've always found Bennylin to be a nice guy, and I have never had an issue with his countervandalism/LTA work. However, over the last few years he has gone through long periods of inactivity. That in itself is not grounds to remove a steward considering the activity when he is active. But, I have noticed numerous errors in his handling of user rights requests, even multiple within a 24 hour period, showing that Bennylin is not up to date on current steward practices. If inactivity results in this, it is a serious issue. Regretfully, I have to vote remove, because if someone has to be continually checking over his work in this area, they might as well do it themselves. Issues as follows: not realizing that most bureaucrats cannot remove sysop, again two months later, [7], granting IP block exemption on a wiki with local admins, asking a user to canvass for a local adminship request, removing rights that an administrator can remove based on an OTRS ticket and IRC. Similar mistakes have been going on since back when I was a steward. --Rs chen 7754 14:05, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Remove, generally per Rschen7754. I am also concerned by a significant number of mistakes made by this user. Two points are particularly concerning: firstly, sending users who want to resign to local crats who cannot remove rights, secondly, removal of various Danny B. rights in cswiki (AFAIK there is a long conflict in Czech wikis involving among others this user, thus one should have been extremely cautious regarding such requests). In addition I see a logical problem in this: Bennylin does not remove sysop rights on plwiki because it has local crats but removes autopatroller rights on cswiki even though it has local crats and many local sysops who can remove those — NickK (talk) 14:00, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Bennylin brings and has brought much valuable language expertise to the steward team, however the instances brought up by Rschen seem to indicate a pattern that is quite worrisome. We all make mistakes, and that's entirely fine. However, when mistakes are repeated and when post-incident handling is subpar, it's hard to support continued steward status. This is especially the case as no attempt has been made in this forum to respond to these concerns or propose ways to avoid repeating them :( Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 09:34, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Personal info: I have been a steward for over 6 years now and have had many good experiences with the current/past stewards and would like to continue to do so. Although I haven't been active as I used to be, I am still around to deal with people who use the wiki to vandalize, spam, and the other kinds of abuse. I look forward to working with the current and future stewards this year.

Personal info: It feels a bit strange to look at Stewards and realize that you are now the oldest still active steward since M7 left close to his tenth anniversary. Although I usually only have little free time left after mostly very long working days (at Wikimedia Deutschland), I still try to be as present as possible as a steward, be it onwiki or in chats, and try to help wherever I can (for example, once again in the Election Committee). In particular that means to be available on IRC (also to restart bots which I co-maintain on ToolLabs), on the mailing lists, and on OTRS or Skype, where users who were affected by some of my global range blocks ask for support. Most of these blocks are caused by a long-term troll that I've grown to handle well, which also explains my high and constant activity on loginwiki and the huge amount of accounts I've locked.
Unfortunately, I'm not as active anymore in cross-wiki vandal fighting on smaller wikis or handling global rename requests (in fact, I stopped the latter after I spent much time helping to establish it), but I'm still happy that the SUL finalization, realized collaboratively with the Wikimedia Foundation, continues to make new tools possible and our work more effective. My good connection to the Wikimedia Foundation is, so I like to think, in many ways quite valuable to the steward group. Therefore I try to attend as many monthly calls with the Foundation as possible, where I contribute my experience, mainly on the topic of global bans with which I became quite experienced in the last couple of months. Some of the banned users also directly attacked me and have even denounced me to my former employee. I find it highly important that we convey very clearly, that vandalism and personal attacks are unacceptable. I also gave a presentation on that topic at the German WikiCon (German slides), as well as a presentation introducing metawiki to the broader German community (German slides), as I also understand the steward role as a bridge between the local and global communities.
I want to continue serving to the same extent, helping my dear fellows as well as my local community with global matters, and would be very glad to celebrate my tenth anniversary as a steward this December. Thanks for your patience, and please feel free to ask questions.

Keep good work, although i have to admit that i am not happy about his activity level lately (compared to other years). --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:26, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've looked into the monthly stats: 1'220 actions are listed (#8, 3.63 % of all steward actions), for the second half of 2016 it is 571 actions (#10, 3.49 % of all steward actions). That does not look like a significant drop to me. In fact, I'm even #6 and #7 in global auth and global block actions. Of course, it's not 2007 anymore where only three stewards did almost all stuff and I was one of them. But still being in the top third of the most active stewards should be acceptable, imho. —DerHexer (Talk) 23:18, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Marshallsumter: Unfortunately, that is not correct. According to the tools, I edited a Wikiversity project the last time in 2016. Fortunately, there are more Wikiversity projects than the English one. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 10:46, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think Marshallsumter is right, "crossactivity" shows no Wikiversity edits to any project after 2015. The two Wikiversities listed are merely global renames, no edits. --Vogone (talk) 11:46, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand at all what has editing a Wikiversity wiki to do with steward rights. But moving pages and global renames have much more to do with steward rights than editing there. That reason (on all these pages here) doesn't make any sense to me. Why shall it be better, if a steward who shall do steward actions in one of the Wikiversities has been active there not very long before than if he hasn't been? --Bjarlin (talk) 12:52, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
