Stewards/confirm/2009/en
The 2009 steward elections are finished. No further votes will be accepted. |
The 2008-09 confirmation has begun.
The 2008-09 steward elections 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 2009. During the 2009 elections, please mention if you are unhappy with one of the persons listed below and why. For example, you may mention inactivity or negative behaviour. 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 will go through this process after each election.

- Personal info: I've been a steward since 2004 and I hope to continue being useful in this area. I also chair the Wikimedia:Advisory Board and help with Wikimania (jury and program). I'm an admin on meta, the English Wikipedia, and the advisory and foundation wikis. I haven't been as active as I'd planned to be this time last year due to spending all my spare time on planning my wedding! Since that happened (in November), I have been more active within Wikimedia generally and plan to continue this. The steward areas I focus on are changing rights and deleting cross-wiki spam (example). I'm happy to do other steward tasks as well like SUL requests and global blocks but at least in the past couple of months, there have been no requests that weren't already handled immediately by a few super-active stewards! I'm in #wikimedia-stewards if I'm on IRC and can easily be reached by email in emergencies as I'm online 16 hours a day.

Plus Angela's comments on the stewards-l mailing list (something non-stewards don't have visibility to... trust me it's true :) ) have been sage, and she takes feedback awesomely for someone as senior as she is. Here's hoping she can find more time to be with us this year. ++Lar: t/c 04:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

- Personal info: I have been a steward since the first election. I am also admin on fr.wiki, en.wiki, and commons as well as bureaucrat on fr.wiki. I am a founding member of Wikimedia France and a past trustee (and chair !) of Wikimedia Foundation. I currently mostly edit on fr.wiki, as well as a bit sometimes commons and fr.books (though often unloggued). And I do quite a lot at the chapter level. To be fair, my activity as steward in the past year has been low (hmmm, very low). First because as trustee, it was simply not a good idea to use these tools. And then I took a psychological break. But I'll be happy to help more in the coming year. I am usually available on irc as well for urgent needs. Cheers
- Not amazingly active, but she was busy doing other important things for Wikimedia. I'm happy for her to continue. Majorly talk 00:26, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

- Remove Mr. Bass certified Poetlister sockpuppet “Cato”, thereby allowing him to become a checkuser on Wikiquote and gain access to the global checkuser mailing list.[1][2] He never answered when I asked him what steps he took to verify “Cato’s” identity,[3] instead, congratulating himself and his buddies for a job well done.[4] Amazingly, he is paid to do this; it fell to volunteers to clean up after his mess. I can hardly think of a better place to start changing Wikimedia’s culture of zero-responsibility.Proabivouac 04:25, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

- Personal info: I have been a steward since Dec 2006. I started grad school this year, which has reduced my activity a good bit. I am still about and I regularly follow the mailing list, and keep an eye out for new requests on wiki (though they are almost always done before I see them, some of the other stewards are doing too good of a job :) ). I expect to be much more active in the next few months and I will always be available for emergencies.

- COI - I'm also up for confirmation. No actions in the last six months but more than 10 actions in the last year. Not technically inactive per our definition. I think we need to change our definition of inactivity after this election so everybody is aware of what is expected (simply changing and to or would suffice). But any definition change should not be applied retroactively. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 15:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I don't consider you active enough to continue. Steward tools are meant to be used. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 16:47, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- when he says that he keeps an eye out for requests but they're usually done before he sees them, it seems a little hypocritical to revoke access based on "inactivity" -- I think there's a place for more "inactive" stewards that can serve as backup. Dedicated to the projects. -- phoebe 04:40, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

- Personal info: I was nominated and elected as one of the original stewards back in 2004. From mid 2004 to mid 2006 I was Wikimedia Chief Financial Officer and helped with the 2007-2008 drive. Because of that, many of my steward actions were related to fundraising drives. After the 2007-2008 drive I took a long - and much needed - wikibreak from Wikimedia activities. Since coming back in November 2008, I have helped comment on requests and set user rights on a sporadic basis due to the inconvenience of editing under one global account and performing steward actions under another. That is now fixed. If confirmed, I promise to maintain a higher level of steward activity.
Comments about Daniel Mayer (mav)
edit- Extremely inactive - you should have handed steward rights back in at the end of 2007, or when you went inactive. I'm not sure based on your activity record you'd be suited to continue. Majorly talk 00:29, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- NOTE: Inactivity for a Steward is defined as "no steward action in the past 6 months and less than 10 steward actions in the last year." Most of what I've done since coming back from my Wikibreak is comment on requests and be on-call in the IRC channel, which of course is not in the user rights log. I'm back for certain now that my global account is the same as my Steward account. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 01:04, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

- Actually, I came back from my extended Wikibreak in November 2008. Before that, I was busy editing the English Wikipedia - which was surprisingly therapeutic. :) If you like, I will place myself on permanent confirmation and thus be subject to faster recall if my activity drops again --Daniel Mayer (mav) 01:18, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Just to note that mav and I had a quick conversation about this, and I concluded that my initial "remove" was correct. Thanks — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 16:49, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- And even though I don't agree with you, I don't fault you for taking that stand. Perhaps I should have set the steward flag to my account to null before my Wikibreak. I honestly never thought my break would last as long as it did. But that is the past; I'm back now. Good luck with your own bid to become a Steward. :) --Daniel Mayer (mav) 20:02, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

- Thank you! I can't make any promises if I'm hit by a bus, but if I go inactive again I will de-steward myself.

- I am inclined to support, as you do a lot of good work, however I would appreciate it if you could please explain why you have been using steward tools for your home wiki (fr.wiki) such as doing a Checkuser and desysoping accounts? Also I am concerned that you sysopped user:Pmartin on frwikisource when they have very active crats and sysops, and Pmartin only has 11 edits on that project. Pmartin previously raised a discussion at their discussion board, and it would have been more appropriate for the user to alert the community of the problem again, rather than it be fixed[5] and noted after the event[6]. John Vandenberg 04:52, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hello
- The few checkusers I did were either due to emergency (large scale vandalism and no regular checkuser online) or cross wiki ones (several wiki, which make asking the local CUs of every of them very tiedous). I tend to avoid the later whenever possible.
- About the desysoping, Stewards_policy#Avoid_conflicts_of_interest states that it is not a problem when it's a clear cut case (self request from aoineko last july) or emergency (sebleouf, last november), tho it's not too recommmended. Since it seems to raise a few concerns, I'll avoid doing so from now on.
- PMartin is the founder of Linterweb, the company that made the search engine Wikiwix. He had previously been given global editinterface to maintain the javascript that point to that search engine. I must admit that I am not used of creating/affecting global groups, so giving him a very temporary sysop right so he could correct the bug seemed the best solution back then. Also, you have probably noticed he was given back that global right by another steward., some hours after I gave him the temp sysop.

- Remove. Due to this steward´s recent activities with capricious blocking for his friend Netito 777 of User JMundo and myself and abuse of sysop priveledges on the English Wikipedia, I have no faith that he can be trusted with any position on the projects. His mendacious mischaracterizations of what was said show a disdain for the truth and honesty.Die4Dixie 21:28, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- And sir, oh please explain me the high moral ground on canvassing? [7] [8] [9] es:Drini 21:44, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Ad hominem attacks only serve to highlight your lack of suitability for the position. These users have a unique knowledge of your actions. Would you expect me to open a Request for comment on your actions and link to it here? Exactly what would you say was the ideal way to let people know about abusive behavior and the forum to comment on it? Perhaps leave a messgage on every user´s page on all the projects? Notifying three people of this election without suggesting what they say is hardly canvassing. I believe my friendly notification falls under [[10]]. It was sent to three people(limited number) and neutrally worded. Please explain how this is a violation of WP:CANVASS or is this another mendacious twisting of something that you cannot not know is not canvassing. If you do not understand the policy on canvassing to correctly identify it, then I realy question on more grounds you ability to serve as a steward.Die4Dixie 22:28, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- None of this has anything to do with stewardship. Drini is probably one of the best stewards we've ever had. You're essentially saying you're opposing him continuing his good work because he blocked you. Canvassing to people to get them to attempt to come and sabotage this discussion in your favour hasn't helped you one bit either. Please consider your future actions more carefully. Thanks, Majorly talk 22:49, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)I'm not familiar with meta-wiki or non-English projects but I seriously doubt Die4Dixie's incident is going to overturn anybody's candidacy for anything - the other comments are universally in support. Thus, I suggest all parties keep some decorum here and not get into wiki-arguing. I think the handling of Die4Dixie's block on English Wikipedia was unfortunate (a block for reasons poorly stated and seemingly mistaken, possibly not as a neutral party, followed by being unavailable for a day). Also, even though as Majorly points out Stewardship is very different than adminship, because of the increased authority it should be even more important that one keep a calm head, not play favorites, not get into grudges or matches with individual editors, etc. It is normal that the target of a block will be upset and make accusations, reasonable ones and otherwise, and perhaps even speak out of turn. Turning the other cheek and dealing with that in a firm but dignified way so that the blocked party can, hopefully, cool down and rejoin the editing process is also part of the job of administering blocks. The strong protest against alleged canvassing seems defensive, and piling on. Having said all that, and with all due respect to D4D and his (in my opinion) reasonable upset, I don't see this as anything to disqualify a candidate. No lasting harm done on either side, so please let it go. Wikidemon 23:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

- Oppose -- I didn't had intention to vote here. As things are wright now, my vote won't change the outcome of this voting. But, this edit [11] of Dungodung made me change my mind and to react, to inform others about few things. Calling an user as "major troll", just like that, is below the level of a person that is a candidate for a steward. Does he know the meaning of the word "troll"? Has Dungodung ever read the rule WP:ETIQUETTE? How can he be sure that his message [12] wasn't a kind of trolling (provoking another user's response by posting provocative messages; see wictionary: troll: A person who posts to a ... in a way intended to anger other posters... )? That message of Dungodung was unecessary. Ordinary pouring of oil on the fire. Something else was "on the table"; why had he wrote something that could distract the discussion? Why hasn't he used the word "user who is unnecessarily too cautious"? Dungodung, here're my contributions on meta [13]. You can see my voting pattern. Are you so superficial that you haven't seen that? I cannot believe it. Or your pride is so hurted by having a vote against you 2 years ago (98 "yes" and 2 "oppose")? We don't have to have acclamatory elections. Giving powers to a user is a serious thing. Taking them away is much harder thing. If a user mentions unpleasant questions and "kills the acclamation mood on the party", that doesn't make that user a troll. To make things worse, you've added [14] "major troll, who is constantly trying to obstruct the procedures"??? Do you know the meaning of the word "obstruct"? And after all these personal attacks (what about policy WP:NPA?), Dungodung continues with [15] " I cannot really judge, seeing as I'm not in the community". Then why is he messing (and throwing mud on other user) into something that he cannot really judge, as he personally admitted? What does this mean [16] "Kubura's obsessions and phobiae shouldn't be solved in this manner". Dungodung, you're a steward, bureaucrat, admin. You've forgotten how is to be the ordinary user. You don't know how it feels when a user with undeserved wiki-powers (admin, bureaucrat etc.), a user that's not eligible for those powers, makes an idiot of you and whole community. And you cannot do a damn thing, since that uneligible user is protracting any procedure (in criticism of his/hers work or a removal attempt) by tedious, foggy, "play dumb" arguments.

- Personal info: In the past year I've been more and more busy with other Wikimedia related activities behind the screens (Wikimania, Wikimedia Netherlands, Wikimedia Conference Netherlands), and therefore my activity dropped unfortunately in the past year as a steward. A part of the reasonification behind this is however too that the work is quite perfectly being done by an existing group of stewards, so that when I take a look at the todo's, there doesn't seem to be much left for me to do. Therefore, I would not have huge problems with it if my inactivity would turn out to be a problem for reconfirmation. On the other side, I hope to be able to stay available for emergencies etc, still being able to help out when needed.
