Meta:Requests for adminship/Philippe
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
- The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a closed Meta-Wiki request. Please do not modify it.
I am requesting temporary adminship for Meta. Last year during the Board of Trustees election there were times when we had to protect pages, and I was unable to edit them. As an election official, I can foresee something similar happening again this year, and I'm trying to get "ahead of the ball". Although temporary requests last only a month usually, I'd like to request temporary adminship until the day the election concludes.
I am a sysop on en:wikipedia and a two year election official. Philippe 06:28, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- As his past colleague I endorse this request. Editing ability of protected pages as well as ability of protecting pages in time and of editing relevant MediaWiki messages on meta is helpful for them to work promptly. --Aphaia 06:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't mention my full trust upon him and his discretion and patience, specially keeping a distance to things he self-esteems himself not ready to take an action. Bringing it up may have rather been just redundant, even if it would be much nicer just for a gesture of courtesy, but now I realized not everyone has been around here for a year. --Aphaia 17:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- As a Board election official, he will definitely need the tool, No problems here..--Cometstyles 07:04, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Definitely endorse, and I'd support permanent as well if he finds he needs it. Majorly (talk) 12:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support.--Jusjih 17:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Additionally, per Majorly, I'd be willing to support a request for permanent sysopship. Anthøny 21:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- --M/ 21:57, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Is that the date the elections officially end? Majorly (talk) 21:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it's six months from now, I'm confident that User:Philippe can ask for removal of rights, if they're no longer needed. --M/ 22:05, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Of course, if the user asks for permanent sysophood, I will be happy to express my opinion in favour. --M/ 22:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
