Irregular editors and admins

• User:Aoineko
• BCorr
• Suisui
• UninvitedCompany

All four are hardly active on meta and have probably never or very rarely acted as admins. For example, Brian Corr last edit was in december. On the other hand, all 4 are still editors and between little active to very active in some languages projects (none have left us).

Pending case

• User:Fire was listed last trimester with one opposition for him to stay sysop. Please comment.

so I object again. --Elian 23:49, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Besides Fire, no opposition came during 2005 Q3 and now we are in the beginning of Q4, the time the next round should start. I suppose we can conclude all six listed on the above for Q3 review have been approved. --Aphaia++ 03:36, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Named admin third quarter 2004, status to be confirmed in October 2005

less than 50 edits in a year. Probably remove then. Anthere 11:15, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Who is that guy ?

• user:Robbot
  • Removal. Was probably a test ? Anthere
    • I think I made it a sysop to test the deletion bot, then forgot to de-sysop it again afterward. - Andre Engels 13:31, 10 November 2005 (UTC) (who is the operator of the bot Robbot)
  • Keep unless the meta community doesn't support deletion bot; there are some (over hundreds) deletion candidates such a bot might be helpuful including misplaced images whose uploader(s) wanted to upload them to Commons. ah but this account hasn't been reviewed through vote ... so my support becomes a bit weak. --Aphaia 02:45, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Aphaia, this is a bot who is sysop. By definition, this is weird. A sysop is someone bright and able to take informed decision. A bot is ... a bot. What sort of sysop actions can a bot do ? Automatically protecting pages ? Automatically deleting pages ? Automatically banning editors ? If a bot is made sysop, he should run through vote just like others and his activity be explained to editors, because a bot activity is invisible. Having sysop activity invisible strikes me as odd. I have nothing against a deletion bot, but then, it should not have bot flag imho. In short, it seems clear it was a test/mistake as Andre explains and this bot has nothing to do amongst sysop. Anthere

I concur with you currently to desysop this bot; actually it hasn't been reviewed by community so it could be automatically desysoped. As for necessity of deletion bot, perhaps we can find a more suitable discussion place (e.g. Meta talk:Deletion policy or other talk). --Aphaia 18:29, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Though rarely editing, still help on legal issues; Would suggest keep. Anthere 11:13, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. sj 23:39, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Strongly keep. And I would like to add when he was editing here, he was one of most active sysops specially as for deletion. --Aphaia 02:48, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Looxix
  • Last edit january 2005. Left the project. I suggest he be removed by beginning of 2006 if still not back. Anthere
• user:AstroNomer - no edits in 6 months, less than 20 edits in a year. No steward action since elected
  • removal as per policy Anthere 08:25, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Which policy, on stewards or sysops. Just curious. --Aphaia 18:30, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• user:ArnoLagrange
  • not very regular editor here. Do not have sysop activity. Use steward activity for eo.wiki nearly exclusively... but still here. Keep (though I frankly would prefer to see him a little bit more interested in general help rather than eo only) Anthere 13:04, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
  • definite keep. sj 23:39, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
    • If he's still on eo, keep him. Kookykman|(t)(c)
