Русский:

Конфирмация 2010-11 начнётся 7 февраля и окончится 28 февраля.

Конфирмация 2010-11 - неплохая возможность убедиться, что мы по-прежнему довольны нашими стюардами. Чтобы процесс прошёл как можно более гладко, ознакомьтесь с тем, как он устроен.

Чтобы прокомментировать, пожалуйста, войдите в систему учётной записью, обладающей правками на любой вики до 1 февраля 2010 года. В течение выборов стюардов 2010 упомяните здесь, если вы недовольны кем-то из нынешних стюардов, почему вы им недовольны. Например, можно упомянуть бездействие или неприятное поведение. Неактивные стюарды, согласно правилам, теряют свой статус.

По окончанию выборов, нынешние и вновь избранные стюарды рассмотрят жалобы, оставленные на этой странице, и смимут статусы в случае необходимости, принимая во внимание комментарии, оставленные сообществом, их собственную точку зрения и понимание сути работы стюарда. Все стюарды будут проходить сквозь этот процесс после каждых выборов.

Basically inactive and doesn't demonstrate any need for the tools.

Of the 99 rightchanges he has done, 30 are in his home wiki/native language where he according to the steward-policy shouln't change rights, and the local community has said that they do not trust him (because of this?!), and the rest of his steward-work is mostly "easy" stuff like SRP. Because of this, I have to say remove Laaknor 08:43, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Basically inactive. Rights are granted for the benefit of the community, when they ceased to be used to any degree they can be removed --Herby ^{talk thyme} 09:41, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Per Laaknor and others, sorry you aren't very active and don't seem to have an interest in becoming active. That coupled with the loss of support from your community makes me worry. James (T C) 23:28, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Inactive, remove. Razor flame 07:15, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
keep - my view in general is that keeping onboard trustworthy people who have for some time been less active but are willing to continue using steward tools even when used very sparingly, will eventually lead to a greater evolutionary diversity in the stewards group. such diversity is essential, not only of talents or knowledge, but also variety of experience and number of years of service. with all respect, we don't want a uniform group of hyperactives solely, nor is there need of an overthrow of some sort of government, there is none here, since stewards do not rule. so let's keep such experience onboard where we can. in my philosophy, extended-rights communities should always be kept growing on a healthy wiki. please stay onboard by being/becoming sufficiently active (see current policy which sets the limits, but can use some updating as well imo). oscar 00:41, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not because of this, Laaknor. The community doesn't trust him anymore cause the checkuser tools were used without a valid reason. He says here that any recently created accounts were being checked, with no reason, with no use of summary. The ombudsman commission was comunicated about the fact. According to "CheckUser policy" the tool should removed immediately. It was not done, wich is a shame for this project. I have to say that I'm sure this user has good faith and it wasn't done for his own benefit.Teles ^{(talk / pt-wiki talk)} 02:06, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hard to fathom why. The role is mop and bucket extraordinaire. If you want to use them, then please do so, if not, then move on. It seems to be a simple decision, but not one where your intentions are stated, just a small smattering of words.

I've not been around the whole year to know, but logs suggest inactivity, so no need for the tools. --Egmontaℨ♤ 08:55, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Remove rights because of preventive checkuser of new users at pt-wikinews (see link above). The Ombudsman committee was approached with this, but since ombudsmen are supposed to deal only with the Privacy policy (which was not violated) and not the Checkuser Policy ("There must be a valid reason to check a user."), I forwarded the case to the WMF. But I stated my opinion clearly that a checkuser must not perform checks without a valid reason, and that reason must be justified by the behaviour of the user to be checkusered. The fact that there is a persistent troll out there is not sufficient to checkuser random newly registered accounts, some of them without any edits on that wiki, others regular editors in good standing on other projects. --Tinz 18:23, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I count two steward actions within the last year. If this is true, I respectfully move to remove as inactive per policy, though she's still quite a valued Wikimedian. The foundation is encouraged to add Anthere to an internally-run group (such as Staff) if an exception is warranted. If there are more than ten actions (and I may well be missing some, such as deletion review) please let me know so I can modify this opinion. Kylu 02:16, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per Bastique (talk · contribs). Cirt (talk) 02:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, any choice will be okay ultimately :-) Perhaps I need to explain why I wish to keep steward access. Some months ago, when I decided not to run again for elections, it was also out of true exhaustion. I needed a break and a very serious one. I feel much better now. But I also need to run like crazy to get again my own life in a working condition (well, such as earning money) and that's a tough one. I kept a few activities in wikimedia related world because I still want to help. But to be fair, that's less than I wish I would do. Last time I went on Commons, I was completely lost within the new rules for deletion and I ran away after a dozen deletions because I was told three times in a row that I should do it this way, not that way, but specifically like this and not like that. I felt completely out of it. A few times, I came to the steward page and felt similarly paralyzed and out of fear of just not doing it the *right* way, I decided to not do anything. I honestly wonder if other oldbies do not feel the same :))) I feel a bit stretched between the idea that I should just do as Angela and completely drop the whole idea of helping in that area (and that would possibly be more reasonable ?), but having the fear that when (if) I want to help again in that area, I will just not be able to do it, and I *know* that I will be too lazy to go again through the entire process to be reelected. It feels like "giving up". To be fair, perhaps the best comment above is the one from Bastique: "Keep, I'm sure we can find work for her." Yeah, what can I be useful for ? Meanwhile... all my thanks to ALL active stewards that help things working properly. Anthere
But, Anthere, when you say A few times, I came to the steward page and felt similarly paralyzed and out of fear of just not doing it the *right* way, I decided to not do anything., why didn't you simply ask if something was unclear? You really don't need to be ashamed for asking other stewards if you don't know what to do or how. ;o) We are there to help, you know. :) And actually, if you do something wrong, it can always be undone, explained and fixed. We are not on Commons, you won't get shouted on if you don't do things the "right way" after a longer break. ;) --თოგო ^(D) 00:34, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Believe it or not... I am easily "not bold". Back in 2001... it took me a full month before daring to do my first edit :) Anthere
Anthere, we don't need you for the stray bit flip or rename or global account lock or what have you. We need you for your experience, going way back, so that when we float new ideas on the mailing list you can say "we tried that in 2006 and here's what happened", and when we try to figure out thorny problems, or review policy implications, you can share your expertise with us. That's far more important than bit flipping. IMHO anyway. ++Lar: t/c 16:43, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, and for your question, that was exactly what I felt when I was back to meta from my several month long wikibreak, and that was mainly why I didn't ask for granting the permission I had lost during my break (it had been just few days ago I came back, lol) ... so stay here, I sure bet you find yourself again quite comfortable and familiar in months or even in weeks, just I'm feeling so again. --Aphaia 02:00, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Личная информация: Привет всем. Хотя моя деятельность в качестве внештатного стюарда была незначительной в прошлом году (благодаря моим должностным обязанностям) я все ещё активен в нескольких проектах и я представляюсь для продления функций стюарда. Я сохраняю интерес к полномочиям стюарда и его текущим функциям (активно читаю список рассылки и нахожусь в постоянном контакте с другими стюардами).

Oppose until there is a decent answer to this question:[1] Mr. Bass is Wikimedia Foundation's paid Volunteer Coordinator, and "I don't want to get involved" isn't an acceptable response to incidents of this nature.Proabivouac 08:51, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't respond to people who spread vicious lies. Like you're doing here. bastique ^demandez! 01:09, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, let me get this right: Proabivouac went to Cary with unsubstantiated rumors about a situation in which he was not involved, asked Cary to discuss this theoretical personal situation, and gets irritated because Cary did the quite correct thing in refusing to get involved in drama-mills? And you're questioning Cary's judgment? --Philippe 01:14, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cary, when you call me a "[person] who spread[s] vicious lies," you are yourself telling a lie, albeit one intended only to insulate yourself from accountability. You are well aware that these are not "unsubstantiated rumors": I interviewed these women myself, and I believe them. I don't imagine that anything could stop you from being reconfirmed - in DerHexer's words, "Has of course to be confirmed" - but I'd like you to think good and hard about what a responsible person would do in your situation. If a woman joins a Wikimedia project, requests a checkuser or attends a meetup only to be faced with this kind of behavior from a cross-project functionary, I hope you'll agree that's a real problem. I'll go further and say that it's your problem.Proabivouac 06:53, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

keep - my view in general is that keeping onboard trustworthy people who have for some time been less active but are willing to continue using steward tools even when used very sparingly, will eventually lead to a greater evolutionary diversity in the stewards group. such diversity is essential, not only of talents or knowledge, but also variety of experience and number of years of service. with all respect, we don't want a uniform group of hyperactives solely, nor is there need of an overthrow of some sort of government, there is none here, since stewards do not rule. so let's keep such experience onboard where we can. in my philosophy, extended-rights communities should always be kept growing on a healthy wiki. please stay onboard by being/becoming sufficiently active (see current policy which sets the limits, but can use some updating as well imo). in this case i would propose to set a re-evaluation date in 6 months perhaps. oscar 00:44, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
if the commitment is to resume in May, I think that a wikibreak until then is acceptable, though again the reflection of the community's needs to be paramount in whether they are bringing value in sitting in the seat made available. billinghurst sDrewth 13:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Личная информация: Моё заявление не слишком отличается от прошлогоднего: как стюард, я иногда делаю ошибки, но я не считаю свою работу плохой в целом.
Для тех, кто ещё со мной не знаком:
- Моя домашняя вики — раздел Википедии на французском языке. Я начал работать в ноябре 2004 года и стал администратором в марте 2005 года. Я также работал там три года как бюрократ (июнь 2006 — сентябрь 2009), но перестал, чтоб иметь возможность тратить время на другие вещи.
- Я управляю ботом Loveless (см. [2] и [3])
- Я стал стюардом в конце 2006 года. Я на самом деле не выполняю запросы к стюардам в вики, но использую свое время на работу с людьми, сообщающими о запросах на IRC (#wikimedia-stewards), которые в основном требуют блокировки вандалов в проектах без активных администраторов (иногда глобальной, если они вандализируют несколько проектов) и часто помогаю устранять их последствия. Мои публичные действия как стюарда (все, кроме работы в качестве чекюзера и ревизора) можно увидеть на этой странице ; локальные на Мете (изменение прав и т. п.) на этой.

Личная информация: Привет, ребята! Я бы хотел продожить работу в качестве стюарда. Из-за учёбы в RL я, к сожалению, в течение прошлого года не мог быть таким активным, как хотелось бы. Но я пытался быть доступным на IRC с целью помочь, особенно на #cvn-unifications и #wikimedia-stewards. Насчёт первого, я в основном делал работу, связанную с правами ревизора, в том числе как временный ревизор во французской Википедии. С другой стороны, я обрабатывал запросы, поступающие на канал стюардов; в этом плане я хочу поблагодарить всех помощников! В конце концов, я совершил около 2,000 действий с флагом стюарда на Мете в прошлом году, и наверняка гораздо больше с флагом администратора и особенно ревизора в локальных проектах. Их я не считал, но вы можете их частично увидеть здесь. С наилучшими пожеланиями —DerHexer (Talk) 13:13, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So I'm not sure about his language ability.--Caspian blue 05:15, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know why “Since I'm […] busy with exams, I cannot help you adequately at the moment.” was so ambiguous. I've even forwarded your mail to steward-l but no other one was able to help you, also not the native speakers. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 10:45, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but you have not answered to my next message which directly asked your assessment. The unresponsiveness is not my only assessment either.-Caspian blue 12:51, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It was a bit ~~audacious~~daring (changed later) to respond to my mail where I've written that I do not have time because of my exams, with an ever longer mail with more expectations. Have you ever read my mail? Why did you not accept that I haven't had the time to answer, although I explained you why? Do you expect stewards to ignore all things which happen in real life? And am I the only steward which could have helped you? I really feel sorry that I could not assist you, which I've also written in my mail. But if I cannot help you, I cannot. It shouldn't be too hard to accept that. So please remind that also stewards are volunteers. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:11, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
audacious - what a wrong and offensive choice of language for your defense. I'm switching my vote from now to oppose per this conversation in which you show me not a good communication skill. I of course read your email with only very short three sentences, that's why I could you send the next email not via Wikipedia email. Your first reply in one week was fully understandable for your personal matter, but the next one was not. I asked your "simple" assessment in your capacity (it did not require other steward's input which just would take for a few minutes) but you have not replied to it for about one month. Moreover, I did not consent you to forward my message to them without asking me first. Moreover, another editor said you have not replied too. So that is why I feel to say that you're not responsive.--Caspian blue 16:01, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, audacious derives from Latin audax resp. audacia, and perfectly fits here. Or do you think any other of these words would have fitted better? audacious is one of the nicest words of them, which is I why I have chosen it. Because I assumed good faith also in that case where you have not asked for simple assessment, but instead wrote dozens of lines although you knew that I was and will also be busy with exams and neither could nor would answer. The only way to assist you, was to ask other ones.
As I explained now more than once: I really dislike not to help others as fast as possible, but if I'm not able to, how shall I do it? I'm not prefect, nobody is. Nor do I know everything. I try to do by best, each and everytime. I feel ashamed that I could not help you, but I couldn't. And it makes me quite sad that you cannot accept that. So kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:29, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please look up the word in a dictionary. That means "impudent" or "how dare you" - insulting language. You also have not explained why you did not first ask my permission on whether I would be okay for your forwarding my message to other stewards. I think your communication skill is not good.--Caspian blue 16:36, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Two meanings: 1. kühn, verwegen, 2. (negative) dreist, unverfroren; the first one was meant, of course; it was even weakened with "a bit". OALD lists to audacious: willing to take risks or to do sth shocking. I was in fact shocked why you have sent me another, even longer mail, although I told you that I neither would nor could respond/help you. And sorry for not letting you know that I've forwarded your mail, that was wrong. Please I excuse that. I just wanted to assist you, although I could not do that on my own. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:44, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure why you're bringing with the German translation since you know I'm not German. You said due to your personal matter, you can not help me "at the moment". Your way of defending yourself is "shocking" to me. I gave you a benefit of doubt, so I was in "neutral" position, but your obviously bad communication skill does not give me enough comfort to confirm you as a steward. Sorry, that is my final answer--Caspian blue 16:47, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If I haven't had an edit conflict I had added some links to en.wiktionary: w:wikt:kühn e.g. So apparently daring should have been used instead of adacious. So please forgive this single word. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:52, 20 February 2010 (UTC) P.S.: The precedent comment was changed after that reply.[reply]

Oppose - He used oversight inappropriately in November 2009 on English Wikipedia, resulting in the Randy in Boise mess. He is an admin on this wiki, and it is his home wiki; he participated in an election to obtain the Oversight bit on English Wikipedia in February 2009, and was not appointed. Stewards are expected to avoid using their steward tools on their home wiki - that rule exists to avoid stewards being pressured from their close friends on their home wiki. In his public statement about this, he did not say who had convinced him on IRC to use oversight in this situation without first googling the phrase he suppressed.(I note that they support his continued stewardship here) In addition, DerHexer refused to provide information to the English Wikipedia Audit Subcommittee regarding the "Randy in Boise" mess, even after repeated requests. John Vandenberg 04:45, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I don't know why it is important that I failed by one single vote in an oversight election where I was involuntarily pushed in, but that wiki is, in fact, not my homewiki. I first started editing on dewiki and I'm still active there whereby I just regularily edited enwiki from April 2007 to March 2008 where I called that my second homewiki and became an admin. I've made more edits on dewiki than on enwiki and would have changed the SUL information about my homewiki from enwiki to dewiki if that would be possible. But even if it would be my homewiki your conclusion is wrong. Steward policy (SP#Avoid_conflicts_of_interest) says: “Stewards should use their judgment to avoid conflicts of interest, situations where they are not impartial to the decision. Such situations should be left to neutral stewards. These include: # using steward access on any wiki where they have been blocked; # changing rights on home wikis (wikis where they are active community members), except for clearcut cases (such as self-requested removal or emergencies).” I'm not blocked on enwiki and have not changed my rights for that oversight action because Stewards have global oversight access concerning this bug. But even if I had changed my rights I would not have done that on my homewiki (as I explained) and I also assumed an emergency action (see below) which allowed me according to the Oversight policy to act how I acted: “Local oversighters should generally handle local oversighting, when they're available. Stewards may perform local oversighting in emergencies, during crosswiki oversighting, or if there are no local oversighters available (see contact details).”

Now to that special case: I was asked by a local bureaucrat (so a trustworthy person) to remove a private information which “outed him”. I knew that bureaucrat because of my interactions on enwiki in the past, that is true, but I know many crats from many projects. We talked rarely to each other so that I would not call him a close friend and I assume he me neither. Later the involved “outed” user confirmed that request. The crats told me that the other user has sent a mail to oversight-l to let the private information be removed. That happened more than an hour ago and I was told that no one had discussed there, which is why the crat asked me what now should be done. There was also no oversight on IRC, so I acted in an emergency action where no local oversight was available which perfectly fits in the oversight policy. So it was of course no abuse, the AUSC confirmed that, and I'm still confused as to why these facts cannot be accepted. Later I was told that it was discussed, but that cannot be my fault because I haven't had access to that list (nor have it atm although it was recommented by AUSC to give stewards access to the list and I have asked for) and one person with access to the list told me that they haven't discussed it. The problematic information was: user name with “[…] Randy from Boise […]“. The “outed” user's name is in fact Randy, he felt frightened to be outed and asked others to remove it as fast as possible. Because no one (as I was told) took care of his request I made the decision to work according to the foundation's privacy policy, oversight policy §1 (“# Removal of non-public personal information such as phone numbers, home addresses, workplaces or identities of pseudonymous or anonymous individuals who have not made their identity public, or of public individuals who have not made that personal information public.”) and steward policy (see above). It came out in the aftermath that “Randy from Boise” is a saying which neither the “outed” user, nor the crat, nor me, nor many other native speakers knew. I feel very sorry that I have not double-checked if that phrase could mean any other thing than outing the user. It was important in my understanding of privacy, as foundation constituted it, to remove that published information as fast as possible; and while oversight actions can now luckily be reverted, I made that decision based on the information I had. That might not have been the best one, but of course made with best faith and according to our policies. If that can be called a mistake, others have to decide.

Finally, it is untrue that I refused to provide information to the AUSC. We mailed each other, and I told them that I do not know how I can help them furthermore to look at the facts as good as possible, because I e. g. haven't had logs which could have confirmed my statement. I added, that if I could help them in any other way they should not hesitate to contact me because it was also in my interest to complete that case. I was not contacted afterwards except for a hint to the final decision. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 15:19, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
47% of your edits are on en.wp. 48.5% of your edits are on de.wp. I hate to break the news to you, but you should consider them both to be your home wiki, as you have been heavily involved in each. You have sought advanced permissions on the project.

Irrespective of that, you should avoid being pressured into using your steward tools without even a cursory independent investigation. If you can not take a few minutes to understand the problem, then you are acting emotively and under pressure. As you know, your first suppression action didn't even fix the problem; you came back 30 mins later (IIRC) to oversight another 15 revisions (IIRC) in order to properly remove the phrase. Also, after you did the oversight, you did not send an email to the local oversight mailing list to explain why you felt necessary to step in when there are 40 oversighters on en.wp in all timezones, and to indicate that local oversighters could overrule you if they understood the problem better than you did.

Your response to the AUSC request of November 18 was evasive, and you did not respond to the follow-up AUSC email of November 19. John Vandenberg 22:26, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's in fact not true. I responded on December the 5th to arbcom-audit-en@lists.wikimedia.org with topic “AW: [arbcom-audit-en] Request on ANI supression” with nearly exactly the same words as written above when the mail from November the 18th was forwarded to me. And I got no error, Mailer daemon, whatever.

I was never involved in enwiki and just quite effectively doing anti-vandalism stuff there which I now do (beside other things) on 750 projects, and according to that confirmation page not that bad. If I had known enwiki well, I would also have known that enwiki's oversights and ArbCom unwrittenly insist on reports when steward work in emergency situations (and no local ones were available) according to our policies to take care of one's user's privacy, and would not have gone to bed soon after that action. I never had to notify users on other wikis, well, I rarely do steward actions on wikis with user which have the needed local rights. But if I would not have judged it as an emergency situation I would not have done it. I seemed so obvious to me that I have not thought about googling, that it might have been a saying. Yes, I made a wrong decision, but it was reversed under premises which came out in the aftermath, I excused myself and explained the circumstances. The only thing I could do and still try to do, is asking others to accept my excuse and forgive my decision because I cannot go back in time and switch that, which I would really liked to. I have learnt many thing concerning this steward actions and would never again do any of these without letting the ArbCom (Oversights, CheckUsers) know what I've done. In fact, I would never do a steward action again on enwiki. Kind regards and again sincere apologizes, —DerHexer (Talk) 23:00, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Я считаю, что это охраняло принципы.

NonvocalScream 01:07, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] I do not understand SergeyJ 01:25, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Возможно Вы желаете более развернутого пояснения. Заранее извиняюсь за размер. Моя заявка на бюрократа была отклонена. Не подумайте что меня это сильно расстроило :) Нет, я просто считаю что была нарушена процедура принятия решения. Несколько стюардов решали это на основании личного мнения. (Кто-то более корректно, кто то в приказном порядке.) Хотя это прямо запрещено правилом Stewards policy#Don't decide. Было объявлено, что есть некое мнение о минимальном числе голосов в этом случае. Не смотря на то, что месяц обратно на это совершенно не обращали внимания. При акционировании на этом внимании произошло обсуждение Talk:Bureaucrat#Minimum_number_of_votes. Но результата никакого не последовало. Никаких новых ограничений не было выдвинуто. Поэтому я считаю, что тут действовали не согласно правилам, а согласно личному мнению, наверное обо мне, в чем и проявляется (POV pushing), правда не одного, а нескольких стюардов. Я лишь по прежнему настаиваю, что данное требование о минимальном числе голосов - должно быть официально записано. Хотя лично я не считаю это необходимым, но нужно это спросить у сообщества, а не только у стюардов - и только тогда такие решения, которые были приняты в моем частном случае, могут быть легитимный. Без этого были нарушения о которых я говорю. SergeyJ 01:49, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Autotransfer. Probably you wish more developed explanatory. In advance I apologise for a size. My demand for the bureaucrat has been rejected. Do not think that it has strongly upset me :) Is not present, I simply consider that decision-making procedure has been broken. Some stewards solved it on the basis of personal opinion. (Someone it is more correct, who that in the form of an order.) Though it is directly forbidden by a rule Stewards policy#Don't decide. It has been declared that there is a certain opinion on the minimum poll in this case. Despite that back at all did not pay month attention to it. At the strengthened reference on it of attention on this attention there was a discussion Talk:Bureaucrat#Minimum_number_of_votes. But result any has not followed. Any new restrictions it has not been put forward. Therefore I consider that here operated not according to rules, and according to personal opinion, probably about me in what it is shown (POV pushing), the truth not one, and several stewards. I only on the former insist that the given requirement about the minimum poll - should be written officially down. Though personally I do not consider it necessary, but it is necessary to ask it community, and not just at stewards - and only then such decisions which have been accepted in my special case, can be legitimate. Without it there were infringements about which I speak. SergeyJ 01:51, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Confirm Thank you for continued service.

Has extremely militant and unreasonable BLP views as expressed in recent RfC discussion at en-wiki[11]. I cannot trust his judgement. Nsk92 14:02, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] E.g. this comment here[12], where he says that removing a prod "without fixing" the article should be blockable. What if prod was placed incorrectly? Who decides if the article "is fixed"? And what about forwarding an article to an AfD for a substantive discussion? Basically, a narrow-minded militant ideologue, with a potential to drive off a great many long-term contributors from Wikipedia. Should not even be an admin, let alone a steward. Nsk92 14:52, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] comment - I see several grudges. Could you please back this up with more substantial information, and make a clear case so that it can actually be considered? The current wordings are mainly opinions and not substantiated. Effeietsanders 15:47, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Those editors who are active at en-wiki surely know what I am talking about. But here are some details. In mid-January of this year a small group of admins with particularly militant views regarding BLPs went on a unilateral deletion spree: they started a mass out of process deletion of "unsourced and unwatched" BLPs without any regard to deletion policy, without using any of the established tools, like CSD, PROD, and AfD and without any discussion with other users. There was a big bruhaha at en-wiki regarding this, with a big wheel-war, blocks, massive panic etc. See the details at these ArbCom pages:[13][14]. Lar was a part of the group involved in these mass out-of-process deletions, see his deletion log for Jan 21:[15]. Later on he aggressively defended this position (see his statements in "BLP deletions" ArbCom request and his comments in the subsequent RfC[16]. Unfortunately, the ArbCom at en-wiki refused to reign in these mass out-of-process deletions and we are still dealing with the fallout of this affair. Anyone who is willing to engage in such reckless disregard of established process and of consensus, such as what Lar did in the mass BLP deletion episode, does not deserve any position of authority. Like I said, he should not even be an admin, and certainly not a steward. Nsk92 20:38, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Thank you for the information, I think most people here are not active enough on enwiki to get this kind of information from the top of the head. Just to be totally clear, this is an enwiki matter only? Are there any aspects that were affected by his steward tools, status or otherwise? Is there any indication this is likely something to play up cross-wiki when Lar remains steward? Do you think he would use his steward buttons/authority in that discussion? Or is it that you personally don't trust/like him any more, and therefore want his position removed? Effeietsanders 11:05, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Primarily the latter. I do not trust the judgement of someone who has abused his position of authority at en-wiki in such a reckless and disruptive way. Nsk92 12:10, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] See below for a cross-wiki example.

After the BLP fiasco explained above, and Lar's extreme and almost fundamentalist viewpoint regarding it, I cannot in good conscience say that I trust him with the position. I know of no instances of steward abuse, but he has already supported use of sysop tools against consensus (and with an air of contempt for the community) on en.wikipedia, so I can't rule out the possibility that he would use his steward tools in promoting that agenda. The Wordsmith 05:14, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose - reconfirmation per JoshuaZ and the BLP issues.--Sandahl 16:59, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose - Drama monger—almost all of his edits are outside of the main namespace; largely inactive, very few mainspace edits—little evidence that he's really there to contribute to building an encyclopaedia; engaged in disruption in the recent BLP kerfuffle; carries old disputes into new venues—his response to my criticism about his disruptive deletions was to attack intelligent design and global warming editors; misrepresents himself—despite his attacks on an AGW-cabal, he still passes himself off as an "uninvolved" admin in the current climate change probation. Not suitable for such a position of trust. Guettarda 17:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose. One of the most rude people I've met on enwiki. Also, commonly ignores policy and pursues his own vision of Wikipedia instead. Pohta ce-am pohtit 17:57, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Per request below, here are the kinds of articles Lar has been deleting on sight or proposing for deletion after the community outcry put an end to the former practice: [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]. The argument is that they are "unsourced", but most external links in those articles work, and many are en:WP:RS. Note that all these diffs are selected from an extremely narrow time window. Check his logs for way, way more, and also see the evidence of Nsk92 above, who is a very respected editor on en:WP:WPM. Here is an admin commenting that "those deletions are clearly out of process" (emphasis his); this comment refers to a different set than those above, but in similar circumstances. Following deletion procedures is now "policy wonkery" according to Lar. After being cautioned that some of those articles did have sources, his reply was "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." To another user that points out that a source was listed as "further reading" instead of "references", Lar replies: "Improperly sourced, then, and a valid deletion, wasn't it? Did you want me to undelete it to your user space so you can fix it? I bet you can fix it in less time than 3 years... if you set your mind to it." Later on en:WP:ANI, he pretends that was never an issue: "All the articles I deleted and PRODded in the last few days did not have acceptable (in most cases, ANY) references. I checked the history of each one before I deleted it. I did not just run a bot. I skipped articles in the category that seemed to have sources. It's not my job to ADD sources. The COMMUNITY had 3 years to do that. I was just cleaning up a little. And now, many of the articles, once we imposed a bit of an actual deadline, have been sorted out. That's goodness. You need to rethink things a bit." Obviously, the usual en:WP:DEL deletion process is now replaced by an admin who decides by himself what sources are acceptable. Presumably, he should just decide who gets the admin bit and who loses it; why bother with such an ineffective community?! Pohta ce-am pohtit 20:18, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Support Totally trustworthy; note that any of the bad-faith-looking opinions opposing above should be ignored unless accompanied by diffs. --Guinnog 19:42, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Support, strongly.

Unitanode 22:14, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Keep Lar is one of the few true grownups I can count on in wiki, he may ruffle some feathers on occasion, but that's because he does the right thing and he's usually right far more often than he's wrong. Lar is very trustworthy, I have not ever seen him abuse his position (most people that he has to discipline in some fashion have thoroughly deserved it, IMHO!) plus he has a level head and a good sense of when to use a carrot and when to use a stick. If he speaks critically of someone's behavior, it usually means that person needs to take a good look at themselves. The drama folks above really only illustrate my point; Lar will do the right thing even when it isn't the thing that makes him popular. That is always needed in any leadership position. Montanabw 00:59, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Remove per BLP. And I vaguely recalled some privacy concerns caused when Lar was using the Checkuser tool.

OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 20:43, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] The more relevant link, of course, is this one: en:Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/SlimVirgin-Lar, particularly the findings of fact and remedies, in which SV was admonished for stirring up trouble in inappropriate ways, and I was exonerated of any wrongdoing. But of course, that's a less useful link if (like Proabivouac apparently does) one has the goal of continuing a smear campaign after one's blackmail attempts fell flat, because it undercuts one's narrative rather inconveniently. ++Lar: t/c 22:45, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Lar, I have kept away from this, but if you're going to misdescribe what happened, then obviously I'll have to correct it, so you might want to reconsider your summary. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 23:48, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] I'd invite anyone to read the link I gave to the case summary, and draw their own conclusions. You were admonished, I was cleared, and Proabivouac continues to try to libel and blackmail people to this day. I'm open to rewording, feel free to mail me a suggested change if you like, but those are the salient points. ++Lar: t/c 00:26, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Keep, of course.

Stanistani 04:03, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Confirm - I don't see any connection between steward duties and BLp activities on enwiki. Kevin 04:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Comment - Over time as a steward Lar has proven helpful, very effective and (as others have said) a solid user and a mainstay. I have not seen complaints about his activities as a steward. I was on the committee that looked at the alleged misuse of tools (from 1st half 2008) and I do not have any current residual concerns nor have I heard substantive claims of any of it happening in the nearly 2 years since the actions took place (apologies to those who hold strong views on it, and declining to rehash the debate here). Regarding the more recent issues over BLP and general interaction/conduct, whether Lar was right or wrong, it's worth noting the local ArbCom endorsed his and others' recent actions on BLP. That aside, I have not been tracking Lar's conduct nor do I know how much general conduct traditionally speaks in steward reconfirmations. But in terms of pure trust to perform the steward functions and use the steward tools, my impression is that any lessons have long since been learned and do not seem to provide reasons for concern as of 2010. FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 08:37, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Comment. FT2, thanks for explanation. I've been searching to find if any of the objections are related to Lar's stewardship. I would like to remind those who are opposing that: (1) Being a steward is not, in fact, a big deal. Misusing steward permissions leads to removing rights and possibly to a legal action against a [former] steward. As Lar didn't abused his implicit power on some smaller project and as he is a very useful steward -- the only reason which should matter in his case is abusing permissions. (2) Last years we have lack of stewards and Lar is one of the active ones. Besides that, his overall influence into stewards dynamics is very positive. -- So, if he doesn't deserve to have permissions at en.wp or if it would be problematic to give to him some different kind of trust, please raise that issue at the appropriate place(s). Otherwise, the situation looks like that someone can't be a forster because of his behavior in supermarket at the moment when we don't have enough foresters. --Millosh 23:09, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Proabivouac responded to this comment at 08:02, 17 February 2010. It then devolved into a dispute that has gone off topic and was moved to Talk:Stewards/confirm/2010/Lar#Dispute_between_Proabivouac_and_Lar.

Ryan Postlethwaite 15:36, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Keep. Appears to be helpful in steward activities. The fact that after months of stasis there is a battle brewing on en:wp on BLP and Lar been active in that rather than stepping back has very little to do with that. Other comments as to his views on BLP policy, his communication style, and perceived "politicking" might or might influence his legitimacy and effectiveness in policy discussions and implementation on en:wp, but also are of limited relevance to being an effective steward. Martinp 20:08, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Keep i don't really understand how the BLP issues prevent him from carrying out steward duties. Themfromspace 22:06, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose Will Beback 09:01, 18 February 2010 (UTC) Specifically, I am concerned about his non-neutral interactions with users and with his extensive involvement with the banned users who hang out at Wikipediareview. Stewards should be beyond reproach. Lar, though perhaps a valued contributor, is too entangled in politics, including the BLP issues, to hold a key position that requires neutrality across multiple projects. Will Beback 22:19, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Keep Kind and caring person, great administator and Steward. --Mbz1 12:44, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Strong support. --FollowTheMedia 00:03, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Neutral I trusted him but his perspective and actions for the ongoing BLP issues disappointed me. He is not that responsive either.--Caspian blue 05:28, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose - concerns raised by editors such as Sarah and Durova are worrisome. I don't expect anybody to have a crystal clear record, but concerns raised by editors I trust are making me suspect there is something to them, I am afraid. --Piotrus 04:40, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose - I've seen you do great work on en:wikipedia. I've also seen other actions that cause me too much concern to support.--Cube lurker 00:31, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose - per Alex Bakharev and Sarah, despite the fact that Lar will eventually get his revenge for this, both off-wiki and on-wiki. Or perhaps because of that. And as an additional point, while my own concerns are unrelated to the BLP drama on en-wiki, it is quite disappointing to read a number of commenters here pretending that the concerns raised regarding that are by people who are "not happy about policy". Rather, it is clear to me that those raising this issue are entirely supportive of policy, but quite concerned about very specific behaviors. The astonishingly disrespectful distortion that anyone who opposes Lar's confirmation is opposed to policy, is, in fact, typical, and part of the problem.Jayjg 04:16, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Confirm the Legoman. I approve his BLP stand. Bishonen 09:07, 25 February 2010 (UTC).[reply] Confirm, helpful steward. --Mercy 09:23, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose per Pohta ce-am pohtit, JoshuaZ and others. This kind of wikilawyering and wikipolitics are precisely the types of role models that will bring Wikipedia to its knees. --Leifern 15:06, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose A drama queen who helps friends but has vendettas against anyone who somehow rubs him the wrong way. I do not consider Lar trustworthy (yes, he can be kind and caring, but in my experience that is either a facade or simply unreliable), and he has been a source of far more trouble than he is worth. The comments provided by JoshuaZ and Durova are compelling (and come from two people who are far more trustworthy and have done far more to promote the encyclopedia and the integrity of its workings). Slrubenstein 15:27, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose, sadly. Although Lar is obviously hardworking, I don't believe he has shown the character required for a position of such trust. Quadell 17:33, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose, per JoshuaZ, Sarah, Durova, and others -- too involved in Wiki-politics and drama IMO. Khoikhoi 01:49, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Sad oppose. To get the negative issues over with, I too believe Lar has a tendency to be vindictive against those who disagree with him. [24] and [25] looks like jumping at BLP ghosts instead of anything substantial, and dragging the issue of flagged revisions into the mix does no favors either. Starting this WR thread with the sentence "There are some people on there who aren't usually confused. Some." also seems a tad arrogant. I will concur with his supporters who point out that Lar is a helpful fellow, but it appears we will be getting an influx of new stewards now. Sjakkalle 12:43, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Note: Three stewards resigned within the confirmations yet[26], at least five (without Lar) will—afaics—fail (User:Pathoschild/2010 steward confirmation statistics), and only eight to ten new ones will be elected[27]. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 12:55, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose this to me looks like a personal attack. Furthermore, a steward should be a leader and uniter of a 'broad church' and healer and voice of calm in times of difficulty. Instead we get this divisive comment, among others. Yes, we needed to do something about BLP, but am really unimpressed with behaviour in the last few months. Casliber 13:52, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Confirm Polargeo 14:23, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] I confirm. User has superior understanding of BLP, which is and ought to be a Foundation priority. Cool Hand Luke 14:52, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Confirm Rama 15:07, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Strongest possible oppose stewards should not defend editors for calling other editors "trolls"[28] Administrators and Stewards should not thank[29] editors who stated they have "utter contempt" for "community consensus",[30] "a consensus of idiots does not override good sense",[31] "I am indifferent to any such moronic consensus",[32] and "a basket case, morally bankrupt, community"[33] (Editor later blanked these comments and defended his deletions)[34] Lar not only thanked this editor, he actively helped this editor delete several notable articles,[35] which led to an arbcom and then an unprecedented amnesty. This bullying editor should not be an admin, let alone a steward.Okip 15:12, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Confirm Raymond 15:18, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Keep Of all the stewards up for reconfirmation, Lar is the one I interact with the most. He's the one I've gone to in the past (won't now due to the Ombudsman role) if I have questions or issues, as he's almost always available and is incredibly knowledgeable. I'm not particularly moved by some of the diffs I've seen above; some of it is grossly being blown out of proportion (I'll admit that I didn't look at every link, though). I trust Lar, which is all I really care about in this matter. EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:48, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Confirm - Not at all convinced by the oppose comments, many of which rely on a personal interpretation of events that could be taken differently with a little good faith; Lar handles this and other elevated positions well. Shell Kinney 16:13, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]Confirm² for I think that we're commenting about his steward word. Wikimedians usually fulfill several roles and we should keep in mind that they're not the same. Maybe on enwiki he's had problems. So perhaps he should be sanctioned there (perhaps). But as steward he's been flawless and therefore he shouldn't be denied the confirmation. To make the example a bit more extreem, this is like saying he shouldn't get confirmed as stewards000 because he made a bad judgement on FA discussions. As a matter of fact, he shouldn't be "stewarding" on enwiki, so saying "I disagree on his BLP views therefore I vote oppose as steward" is a non sequitur. Please do focus on the issue at hand. We're evaluating his steward work, not his enwiki community behaviour. Sometimes this kind of issues make me believe I do the right thing trying to edit as little there, as people get very sensitive and use anything against you). es:Drini 16:37, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose - per above posters who addressed his extreme rudeness and abuse of CU tools. I have unfortunately encountered both myself. Crum375 16:40, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]Let me add that, since some people mention BLP as an issue, I happen to share Lar's view about BLP. Unfortunately, the way he behaved while presenting his view alienated many editors and made that position harder to defend, so I stayed out of the debate. Crum375 11:54, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]Remove I'm aware of two incidents related to Lar's handling of private information which in light of the other concerns expressed above suffice for me to oppose this reconfirmation, though I'm open to reconsider if satisfiable explanations are given. en:Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/SlimVirgin-Lar: here it's helpful to make some digging beyond the final decision. Regarding en:Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/SlimVirgin-Lar/Proposed_decision#Breach_of_privacy, I cite the proposed finding: "Lar disclosed data derived from page logs, in circumstances in which none of the situations permitting disclosure applied. This constituted a breach of the privacy policy.". This was supported by three arbitrators, none opposed, but couldn't pass because arbitrators found it was not within their jurisdiction to rule on privacy policy violations (instead, it was up to the Wikimedia Ombudsman Commission...). Nonetheless, arbitrators passed a remedy (link): "The Committee reminds all operators of the CheckUser tool that it is imperative that they make every effort to abide strictly by the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy at all times." (passed 7 to 0). From this, it seems clear to me that arbitrators found the handling of private information by Lar in this matter 'suboptimal', to the point of breaching the privacy policy, even if the uses of the checkuser tools themselves were found within acceptable range of CU discretion. From reading Newyorkbrad's additional statement, I can see it was not excessively 'bad' but still concerning. Plus, the characterisation of the situation by Lar above doesn't seem genuine at all, in any case misleading. I've stumbled across another incident, to which I've seen no satisfactory explanation and that I find quite concerning. This happened here (scroll down to the suppressed edits): Lar, while in dispute with David Shankbone, posted on his talk page, and got responded but the whole discussion was removed and suppressed (oversighted) by Keegan. It seems to me that stewards should know when not to post material that may need to be oversighted or even might lead to a conversation requiring oversight. I'm especially concerned because it's been pointed out that Lar is involved in multiple interpersonal or political disputes, and those two incidents happened during such disputes. I feel our projects need less disputes of this kind, and stewards, due to their position and access, should be above them, and while this is not always possible, certainly not furnish them. Cenarium (Talk) 17:13, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] I would strongly urge all who have concerns about the first case to read Newyorkbrad's statement that Cenarium has kindly linked to. Carefully and completely. Then draw their own conclusions. I stand by whatever I have said about this case, from the very beginning when SlimVirgin was bruiting accusations about in myriad places, to this very day, including the remarks I made further up this page. As for the other matter, with my steward bit turned off, I can't refresh my memory of who said what, but what I recall suggests that I spoke flippantly, which cascaded matters, and the net result was that a fair bit of stuff from a number of people needed to be removed. I regret that, but we are none of us perfect. I don't consider it a major incident but it was an imperfection. That editor does not bring out the best in people, sometimes. That's not an excuse, just an observation. ++Lar: t/c 21:54, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]Oppose Per Pcap, Nsk92 - his behavior during the recent BLP fiasco on en:wp is dismaying, vituperative, and fanatical in nature. Other checkuser abuses mentioned in this thread finalize it for me. RayAYang 17:51, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Strong oppose as I trust neither his judgment nor integrity based on various actions on Wikipedia. Sincerely, --A Nobody 18:03, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose. The rude, dismissive, self-righteous attitude to those disagreeing with him, as evidenced by his comments during the BLP dramafest on enwiki, in my view, makes him unsuitable for this position. This has nothing to do with his deletions or his views on BLPs. Tim Song 18:34, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Support Minds can differ on this BLP nonsense. Those differences don't somehow render the his judgment vis a vis the tools suspect in the least. Protonk 19:21, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Confirm Lar is a trustworthy contributor whom I believe has struck a fair balance on the fine line which sometimes arises between professional, politically correct conduct and decisive action and honest opinions. The projects need people who are able and willing to think through and act in difficult cases, and are able to do so autonomously when and as required, and yet are able to moderate their own emotional involvements and retain an appropriate distance. Both classes of behaviour are not always politically advantageous, and at least some of the opposition above strikes me as rather petty hair-splitting arising, especially to the extent that many of them appear to have no bearing on the role of stewardship. I support Lar not because we've always agreed, but because we've disagreed and been able to talk through the disagreement as adults. Stewardship isn't a "congressional" seat: We shouldn't choose people based on how much we agree with them on 'issues'. Narrowing the position to functionally inert baby-kissers would do us no good, nor would we do well to only accept candidates who have been aggressive enough to drive away everyone they've every disagreed with. --Gmaxwell 20:47, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Confirm No issues with prior history as a steward. An asset to the team. Thank you for continuing to volunteer. NonvocalScream 22:30, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose, per Cenarium, Cert, Durova, et al. Questionable CheckUser actions, and demeanor towards those he disagrees with are concerning. Blurpeace 22:38, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Confirm I have found Lar to be approachable and extremely helpful with cross-wiki questions. Opposing due to BLP issues etc on en-wiki is a bit bizarre considering he does not routinely act as a steward there, and it is his actions as a steward that are under consideration here. Pablo X 23:28, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose per Blurpeace, et. al. Lauryn Ashby (d) 01:46, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose per the numerous previous users citing ENWP BLP issues. Distrust on one's home wiki is not becoming of a steward and hardly appropriate for an ombudsman. If non-steward actions are irrelevant then Thekohser should be getting a lot more support for his candidacy. delirious & lost ☯ ^~hugs~ + jh0367 ☯ ^~hugs~ 01:48, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose not because of disagreement over the BLP issue as such, but because of his arrogant manner in discussing it and in replying to questions and making comments generally. One of the least pleasant people to deal with of all established Wikipedians. Such matters are very much pertinent. DGG 03:40, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose! For anyone who isn't opposed to this person, PLEASE, look at some of the links Okip has provided. I've noted his person's behavior in the past, and don't believe they should be trusted with any position of power or the tools that come with it. Dream Focus 03:44, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose reconfirmation. Lar has clearly lost the community's trust: the opposes are neither few nor petty. It is quite possible to act in both good faith as well as intemperate scorn for the community. Lar needs to take a break from the tools and refocus, and the community seems to be articulating quite clearly that such a break should not be considered optional. Jclemens 05:15, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Comment Since a suppression of mine has been brought up in this conversation, call me neutral. The suppression that took place involving David Shankbone was based on a complete misunderstanding which devolved into matters that fall within the privacy policy. Both parties made a reasonable request to redact the conversation, and as such it was removed. Please don't put too much weight into that issue, tempers flared and both parties achieved a resolution. In my opinion, Lar has done well as a steward and also has not used his capabilities to abuse the system or gain an upper hand, nor used it as a measure of status. I think he does admirably in separate the UserGroup from his day to day interest in the projects. Keegan 05:18, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Confirm The opposes aren't convincing. AniMate 06:12, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Lar's views have become increasingly extreme, particularly those related to BLP. Thus far he has largely been able to keep those views separate from steward work. It is my hope that stays that way (or better yet, a slight decrease in the fervor given to certain matters). Lar is one of the most well intentioned and helpful editors around, and I'd like to keep him around. Prodego ^talk 06:24, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Strong confirm Hmmm. I see quite a number of opposes from people with obvious axes to grind, and several very contentious attempts to re-write the history of what has happened on the English Wikipedia. It's inevitable that someone of the experience, committment and visibility of Lar will become occasionally involved in high-profile issues, and that that will bring an opportunity for a few disgrunted users to make their point. However, no-one can be a great Steward without addressing the hard issues. That's what they are paid for (haha), and Lar should be commended for taking his duties extremely seriously and for not ducking issues that he must have known would earn him no brownie points. MichaelMaggs 18:03, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Confirm, good work as steward. LeinaD (t) 17:21, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose. Lar has become a polarizing figure on the English Wikipedia. That's illustrated well here, with several supporters alleging that opposers must be harboring grudges, rather than just expressing what might be legitimate concerns. Supporters have talked about how helpful Lar can be. I'm one of the people he used to be helpful toward—and I supported him for steward in 2007—but he turned on me suddenly shortly afterwards for reasons that were never explained, and that's when I experienced a different side to him. He began to attack me on- and off-wiki. He tried to turn people against me. He supported Poetlister—a middle-aged man with multiple sockpuppets on the English WP masquerading as young women, who tried to out me because I'd pointed out they were socks—for bureaucrat and CU on Wikisource, though he knew about the serial sockpuppetry. He would turn up with snarky comments until it reached the point where I was reluctant to speak out on any issue in case he arrived with an insult. He checkusered me. He supported editors who opposed me on content issues regardless of the rights or wrongs, including banned ones. I'm not the only person he has done this kind of thing to—I have seen him be rude to good people in a way that nothing could really justify and that has left them deeply upset. Now the BLP issue has alienated a whole new bunch of editors. I broadly support Lar's stance on BLP, but I feel the way he has pursued it may have turned people who could have been persuaded into opponents.Stewards should operate above the fray. I think Lar needs to choose whether to be involved in the management of the project or its politics, because those roles are often incompatible. And above all I'd say to him, please realize that the people you target are often just as loyal to the project as you are. I'm also sorry about having to post this, and I hope it doesn't start up trouble between us again. I was sorely tempted to stay away, but I didn't feel I could justify not saying anything because of concern about consequences. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 18:48, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose Does not seem suitable for this role. Colonel Warden 22:53, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose per Blurpeace. Jaakobou 00:52, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose Something doesn't sit right with me to support Lar. Perhaps it is my ridiculous xenophobic attitude towards giving Wikipedia Review participants, (no matter how explanatory they are about contributing there), too many tools. It's pretty much impossible to be in Lar's position and not infuriate or at least agitate one or perhaps many more people, so perhaps it's best to let someone else take over this role and let Lar get back to something more fun. I want to add that it is odd though that Lar has more opposition here than other Steward reconfirmations I have seen.--MONGO 02:15, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose per most of the above. Xavexgoem 03:40, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose I thought I was in a tiny minority re Lar until I saw the comments on this page. Tim Song and DGG put it succinctly. (FWIW I share Lar's views on BLP and would in fact go much further toward cleansing the project of marginally relevant BLPs, so it's unrelated to that issue.) Short Brigade Harvester Boris 06:16, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose per Nsk92. Bolo1910 06:39, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] I haven't closely followed the en.wp BLP saga, but at the end of the day that is an en.wp issue, and if Larry has lost the trust of the en.wp community, I believe that he is open for recall there. Until there has been a vote of confidence on en.wp that says otherwise, it is inappropriate to say that he has lost the confidence of the community based on a small subset of motivated en.wp's turning up here. In regards to stewardship, Larry is quite inactive (especially if we discount the high count of rights changes for en.wp and Commons, where are wikis he is active on), yet he supported global sysops. Sorry, but that is a hot-button issue for me, as you know - as a result, I oppose reconfirmation at this time and recommend that he stand for reconfirmation next year. A lot can change in a year, and he will be in a position to give assurances then about whether or not he intends to be active or not in 2011 as a steward.

There are not just mirrors and index robots which can visit articles … It would have been much better to work with a non-public list to get the job done, imho. It's hard to excuse that decision and I cannot even see one here. I'd really appreciate if you could internali(z/s)e what was made wrong and why, excuse yourself then and undertake that you will never to do a similar thing again. Otherwise I could not support you with a good feeling.[reply] DerHexer, another user, and I had a long discussion about the list on IRC. He asked me to summarize that discussion here. We concluded that an editable list provided a record of the otherwise invisible oversights, and allowed collaboration on processing the listed names (for which a private IRC channel was set up). However, a public list was not a good way to do this; better alternatives would have been a private wiki, the stewards mailing list, or a private spreadsheet file. It is obvious now that the public list was an error in judgement, for which I sincerely apologize. —Pathoschild 01:38:05, 28 February 2010 (UTC) That's fine at least for me.

Not to confirm someone is not a punishment for something they did or didn't, it's a matter of trust and I see no reason not to trust him, he is more experienced after that mistake, he acknowledges it with maturity and above all he has done a ton of work in this very matter protecting sensitive information.

Edit: The concerns raised concerning private information below are very serious. They seem to be a very deep problem, and while I'm still favoring keeping, I'm very close to switching to oppose. I have to strongly wonder what Pathoschild was thinking in putting this info in a publicly accessible location. JoshuaZ 01:06, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Keep Will Beback 09:01, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] definitely Keep --Stepro 04:02, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose. Responsible for leaking large amounts of personal information (addresses, phone numbers, ...) by maintaining lists of hidden (for a reason) SUL accounts in a now-deleted "sandbox" that's now irreversably mirrored on external sites. Stewards are entrusted with the most intimate data on Wikimedia projects; slip-ups like these are wholly unacceptable (particularly if they happen repeatedly; see below). Fran Rogers 06:02, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Correction: the personal information was restored; it's still there in the page history. Lovely. Fran Rogers 06:22, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] After a discussion with Pathoschild on IRC, I found that he restored the local copies of the list on Meta by mistake on February 11. So this was not just a one-time mistake. Fran Rogers 07:42, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Hello Fran. I sincerely apologize for the mirrored information, which occurred due to an oversight regarding spam mirrors not retaining the __NOINDEX__ directive. Globally hidden accounts were not oversighted at the time, and I was using the list to bulk-oversight them on all wikis. I have oversighted the sandbox revisions, and am contacting the operators of the mirror domain to have the mirror updated or removed. (I do understand why you oppose my steward access.) —Pathoschild 07:49:34, 21 February 2010 (UTC) Unfortunately, I'm still concerned you might make another mistake like this again with private information - especially considering your restoration as recently as February 11, ten days ago, when you mistakenly restored the deleted copies of the list here on Meta. Our stewards need to treat private data with the utmost security, especially when designing and using software that manipulates that data. Fran Rogers 07:58, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] I've also been informed of another incident in late January where Pathoschild uploaded locked-account data to the toolserver, and the personal info and defamatory claims within ended up as top results for a person's real name in Google before they contacted Pathoschild to remove it. Fran Rogers 11:08, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Oppose for the same reason as Fran Rogers. harej 07:40, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Fran, Pathoschild StewardBot is basically the only way the stewards were able to keep up with the oversighting of such abusive usernames. You are not really accomplishing anything by opposing this request. Say he was not reconfirmed. The issue with such usernames being made available to the public would only be increased. And confirm on that basis. NW (Talk) 16:47, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Note: There's also a gadget for that issue: MediaWiki:Gadget-hideuser.js. —DerHexer (Talk) 16:50, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] There is now. But you made that just six or eight months ago, I do believe. And Pathoschild's script is still far more efficient than anything else's. Plus, Fran, do you honestly believe that no steward has ever made any mistake? With the volume of work that Pathoschild does, it isn't totally unexpected for there to be a few errors. There would have been no matter who did it; that's simply human nature. NW (Talk) 16:54, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] It was at least earlier stable than Pathoschild's one. However, both things are useful. And each steward can use the one which he prefers. So I where I can do that on my own and not by bot. But both scripts will not be anylonger needed when vvv's bugfix gets online. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:59, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] NuclearWarfare, it's understandable that stewards are only human, and humans make errors. But this chain of mistakes seems to indicate that Pathoschild is irresponsible at handling data even when others ask him to be careful. He was asked to keep his lists of sensitive data off Meta because Google was picking up and prominently displaying damaging information on there; so he moved it to his wiki pathos.ca, only to be informed Google was picking it up again; so he moved it to the Toolserver, only to be informed yet again that it was ranking high in Google for persons' names. And now, less than two weeks ago, he undeleted the copy on Meta again. That is at least four strikes, after each of which he was informed of his mistakes, but he still repeats them; a professional programmer would likely be looking at termination. He just doesn't seem to understand that peoples' livelihoods and reputations could be jeopardized by his mishandling of data. Fran Rogers 04:43, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Some of the listed names were sensitive—which is why I moved the list to increasingly private locations—but not private. The names listed contained information taken from public sources, like the personal résumé you maintain on your personal website and indexed by Google. Furthermore, the names were available from MediaWiki itself at the time the list existed—I was using the list to remedy that problem. Google never indexed my sandbox page, because it contained a __NOINDEX__ directive. The problem occurred when a spam mirror copied pages from Meta, then stripped __NOINDEX__ directives to increase its page hits. The undeletion of the sandbox did not increase the list's visibility, since the revisions were deep in its edit history. While I am sorry that the list was indexed, and I am certainly more wary of indexing now, I do not agree that livelihoods and reputations were at risk—certainly no more than they were by their user pages being indexed (another problem only resolved relatively recently) or the original sources being indexed. —Pathoschild 05:33:24, 22 February 2010 (UTC) That my own information is on the lists is beside the point; while my own contact information is readily available (though I find it rather intrusive that you linked it in this discussion), there are dozens of other folks' names and contact information on that list for which this isn't the case, and I personally know of two other users this has seriously impacted. Fran Rogers 08:56, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Pathoschild, even setting the list issue aside, there's now the matter of you digging up links to my résumé with my home address and phone number and posting them above to prove a point (which are now thankfully oversighted). Is this really conduct becoming of a Wikimedia steward? Do you think all of the above would have supported you if they knew you were willing to do something like this? Fran Rogers 06:32, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Pointing to your public home page is hardly a privacy violation, especially since it (and your résumé) are the second search result for your name, and you link to it from your enwiki user page. —Pathoschild 12:18:09, 23 February 2010 (UTC) For what it's worth, I have a very high opinion of our stewards in general and of Pathoschild in particular -- the accomplishments and endorsements listed above are sure signs of a vibrant career as a volunteer in the WMF sphere -- but I'm also more than a little concerned by the apparent thought process that seems to have led to the posting and later restoration of what sounds like very sensitive information, and that by someone who is specifically tasked with accessing, safeguarding and protecting that very same sort of data on a regular basis. It seems like a no-brainer that we should strive to avoid publicly posting or reposting information that may have been used, or may continue to be used, in systematic harassment or outing of upstanding community members. Perhaps this can't be fully discussed in a public setting, but if it is possible to do so, I'm sure I'm not the only one who might appreciate a slightly more complete explanation of how and why that information wound up on a WMF site. – Luna Santin (talk) 10:33, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Hello Luna Santin. The user names listed were publicly available at the time from MediaWiki's automated lists, Toolserver tools, and some of their user pages. Many of the names had been publicly available for many months. I created a temporary, __NOINDEX__'d list of these public user names so that I could perform bulk oversight using StewardBot. Hundreds of these attack names disappeared from every wiki (and their mirrors) during this process. While the page never appeared in search engines due to the __NOINDEX__ directive, a problem occurred when a spam mirror website copied pages from Meta and stripped __NOINDEX__ directives to increase its search engine rankings. That mirrored page appeared in search results, and quickly led to the disappearance of the original list. Only a single page was indexed, instead of the many indexed pages that appeared before I began oversighting; I have contacted the owners of the domain to have the mirror page updated or removed. I do sincerely apologize for the indexing of a copy of the list due to my oversight. —Pathoschild 12:32:20, 22 February 2010 (UTC) The personal information about me (which is on that site and searchable through Google) was never made public willingly. I was outed on several websites after dealing with a certain banned user. Moreover, I do not agree with the way that you cavalierly refer to a list of account names like "<real name> rapes little kids." "<real name> = child molestor," "<real name> is a supporter of pedophilia," "<real name> has Asperger's syndrome," and "<real name> was abused by his Parents," which you posted to the wiki, as not having the potential to cause those individuals harm. Surely that's not what you are actually saying? Dominic 11:25, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Hello Dominic. Indeed, that is not what I am saying. The user names were already published by MediaWiki's automated lists and their user pages. Many of these were top search results, because of Wikimedia's high search engine ranking. (For example, some real names still match a few old mirrored user pages from those days in top results.) These highly visible names virtually disappeared as a result of my oversighting project; the mirrored list itself is typically so far back in search engine results that it's hidden by Google's "omitted some entries very similar to the n already displayed" feature. If all goes well, that too will disappear soon. I agree the names themselves are detrimental, and I'm sorry a mirror of the list was indexed; however, my actions greatly reduced the visibility of these names. —Pathoschild 14:02:51, 22 February 2010 (UTC) Most of these were one-off vandal accounts with no user pages, as you must know. They would not appear in search engines. You keep apologizing that the page was mirrored by another site without admitting that it was wrong for you to have ever posted any personal information regardless, a classic non-apology apology. You seem to be saying that there would have been no issue publicly posting the personal information if it were never indexed, even though that would mean that it would still be highly visible to Wikimedia's trolls and stalkers. I don't buy that posting these account names publicly was in any way necessary in order to suppress them. There is no reason that couldn't have been left on one's own hard drive. Dominic 20:40, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] I recognize that the incident was poorly handled, and my apology is sincere. I would proceed differently given the choice, but that is not possible. If I respond to your comments, it is to clarify rather than justify what happened. The list served as a record of my actions as I proceeded, since oversighting is invisible on most wikis. As I processed usernames, they were removed from the list. The list was __NOINDEX__'d, in the obviously mistaken expectation that it would not be indexed. I felt the transparency outweighed temporary publication, since the user creations were already publicly logged by MediaWiki, and such lists were already made public by Toolserver scripts. —Pathoschild 02:44:27, 23 February 2010 (UTC) Keep --Kaster 20:10, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Comment - I've kept away from all the meta steward's elections/reconfirms this year, but have to comment. I really must concur with what Dominic is saying above; we have processes and policies for dealing with this stuff on enwiki, and the Oversight team works hard to ensure that defamatory usernames, etc, are redacted as quickly as possible to prevent the very problem that is being detailed here. As it is, there are two mirrored pages still up that cannot be removed - I've tried, and it's going to happen. You can see them here; [link removed] [link removed] And while I can understand how it happened, etc, this is the end result of keeping sensitive data in a place where it's publicly accessible. I contacted Pathoschild last September to point out this issue & he responded rapidly. However, I found myself having to go back again in mid-January with the exact same issue. Some of the contents of those pages relate to my full name, the full name of someone I had to report to the police, and some particularly nasty comments. Go find them yourselves :/ Either way, I'm particularly annoyed that these comments are now indefinitely on-line. It goes without saying that I'm annoyed by the perp, too, and would dearly love to name him in full here. But the failure of a steward to handle sensitive information just compounded the problem. Pathoschild has done some incredible work over the years on here - I've seen it myself countless times, but his failure to readily acknowledge the gravity of this issue concerns me greatly - Alison ^❤ 04:47, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Also, please tell me that this data is still not publicly indexible here, squirreled away somewhere?

The community's will was overruled, and to this day I am thoroughly ashamed I watched it happen without doing more to prevent that outcome. This was mainly due to "older" stewards throwing their weight around - you can read the page and see . While that was inappropriate, I lacked the will to stand up to that intimidation. I very nearly resigned because of this. I hope this year's modified closure process will result in the community's opinion being enacted as best we can. — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 00:26, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] That is an spectacular misread of both the reconfirmation process and last year's events. I'm sorry you felt intimidated somehow. Had I noticed that, I would have encouraged you to participate more actively in the discussion page, although you were actually one of the few who did participate more actively where the Stewards were in fact supposed to be discussing the process. That being said, however, you are now implying some level of bad faith, or some kind of "plot" from some of the Stewards to defend their peers. I must take exception to that. At this point, I will refer you to my more detailed comments below. I really don't get why it seems to be that difficult to understand that the reconfirmation was not, and still is not, an election. The current rules state pretty much the same as last year's did in terms of it being the Stewards' job to take into account comments from the community and making a decision in light of their understanding of the job. Now, 96% of the time, the job means enacting community consensus without applying judgement regarding what local communities have decided. There is, however, the other 4%. And the reconfirmation is part of that. This is what was agreed with the then-Head of the Board of Trustees, which, I might recall, are the ones empowered to promote and remove Stewards. Originally, both the reconfirmation and the Steward elections were "advisory elections" to them. Then it was agreed that the reconfirmation wasn't going to be an election at all, and that the body of Stewards would be encharged of making a decision as a team, with input from the community (the public reconfirmation). We don't get to change that without the Board of Trustees' say-so. And frankly, most of the Stewards, if not all of them, agreed at the time that this was the only format that would allow Stewards to be able to perform during the year without worrying about being "political" enough to survive repeating elections. Forgive the bluntness, but in order to be able to do this job, you will need to be able to think outside the proverbial box when the job requires it, however rare that might be. Redux 06:20, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] I'm amused by your persistence in claiming that what you did was right and that we're misrepresenting the events. How many more will it take to convince you? This type of stubbornness is yet another trait I'm dismayed to see in anyone with a position of authority. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 09:57, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] "Amused"?? I would appreciate it if you would keep the sarcasm in check. I said in the beginning I would provide answers if they were required. Not liking the answer is your prerrogative. And from the position of a Steward, having people disagree with something you do is pretty much part of the job. That's one of the points I have been making. Another one is that precisely because a decision a Steward makes, however in good faith, can dissatisfy people on one level or another, we cannot have yearly "reelections" for the current Stewards, and hence the format of the reconfirmation. In this particular case, I made the decision I thought was appropriate and in line with the rules, and I made it in good faith. That is the promise I must keep as a Steward, not that my decisions will always please everyone or even, for the sake of argument, that they will always be right. I don't believe I made a mistake, but if I did, it was while trying to do the right thing. That is the only realistic promess anyone can make. If there are people who think I should have acted differently, I will listen to their suggestions, and if there is agreement that we should handle the reconfirmation differently, and if we have the Board of Trustees onboard with that, I have no problem with that whatsoever. Redux 15:56, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] When I said I was ashamed to have done less than enough last year I meant it. You should be ashamed too. I should have stopped you from dismissing community input, but you shouldn't have done so in the first place. In fact, all stewards should be shamed - we failed the community. Sadly, the only recourse the community has to rectify that failure is these reconfirmations, creating something of a catch-22. I'm afraid I can't say anything further that's civil at the moment. — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 04:59, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] I'm fine with you having a different understanding of the reconfirmation or even the role of the Stewards in the reconfirmation. I think you are wrong, you think I'm wrong. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. However, your comment above is incredibly, and I mean, incredibly beligerant ("I should have stopped you", "I can't say anything further that's civil"??) and not at all what I would expect to hear from a Steward. You are out of line and you need to revisit what it is that it means to be a Steward of the Foundation — and mind that: we are Stewards of the Foundation. In any event, being that the reconfirmation has ended, I believe there is no point in discussing this further here.

At this point, I predict I should be able to be more active in a couple of months, but that is not written in stone either. That being said, however, and as I mentioned in response to Carry's comment, it would be better if I, or any of us, could provide some kind of prior notice when we intend to take a leave of absence (or when we need to extend one). Beyond that, we cannot be worrying about filling quotas. The best and only promise I can make is that I never intended to leave or abandon my work as a Steward.

Thanks for your work, but I think it's time to move on. Majorly talk 22:16, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Reaffirm vote per this. Stewards do not overrule the community. Sj should have been removed last year, the vote was clearly in favour of that. For another inactive steward to overrule that is very inappropriate. Majorly talk 11:27, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Excuse me? Sorry, but I'll address this as if it was a question, although I'm fully aware that it wasn't. However, you seem to be misunderstanding the purpose of reconfirmation. It is not a reelection. It is the Stewards' job to take community input under advise in deciding how to proceed regarding the Steward body. Those were the rules last year, and I was doing nothing but abiding by them. Furthermore, the decision is hardly unilateral, and I did not overrule anyone. Any Stewards disagreeing with the interpretation I gave to Sj's case were free to, and indeed should have brought it up in discussion, and a consensus would have emerged. And should it have been to remove Sj, that's exactly what would have been done, and it would have been I who would have been overruled, rightfully so. If the Stewards, who were charged with evaluating the reconfirmation results from last year, had felt that I should not have had a voice in the discussions because of my level of activity then, I would like to think that they would have brought it up, and this would have been dealt with accordingly. In addition, a comment amounting to "I support removing you because I disagree with something you did in the past as a Steward" is precisely why the reconfirmation cannot be treated like a simple reelection. Obviously, people are going to disagree with any given decision I might make as a Steward. That is just part of the job. However, if the job requires that I make a decision, and in that case it did, then I will make it. In the case of Sj's thread, you may not recall this, but it was, along with a few others, left open for someone to make the final evaluation and close it. For one reason or another, there was no one making the judgement call that was required to provide closure to a process that had been going on for more than a month. So I made the call, which was in full accordance with the valid rules concerning the 2009 reconfirmation. And I closed a lot of the threads in that reconfirmation, I should add, and not only Sj's. If there is any criticism that might help me to better perform the job, I'm certainly all ears, and indeed I welcome it — as I did when I noted in response to Carry's comment, in this reconfirmation, that we should not take leaves of absence without some kind of notification. But what I would consider inappropriate is not to make constructive remarks when they could have been made in that spirit, and then wait until a perceived opportunity to retort by "voting" to remove, in a matter of speaking. Redux 03:24, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] You can try to justify your decision till you're blue in the face, but the fact remains that you overruled 17 of the 18 voters at Sj's 2009 confirmation, right after having been inactive for more than a year yourself. It was a very poor show indeed. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 05:25, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] The 2009 reconfirmation was not a vote. The community was supposed to give input so that the Stewards could make a decision regarding their peers. Nobody was overruled, all the rules were followed. There's no need for me to repeat was is written in my previous comment above, so please refer to it. This, however, is the first negativity I'm hearing about Sj's decision, and that includes the Steward body. As I mentioned before, there are a number of avenues through which people can comment on a particular decision, or the entire process (in this case, the 2009 reconfirmation, in case people were unhappy with the rules in effect). If you feel that I, personally, made a mistake in closing Sj's reconfirmation, this could have been brought up to me directly, or within the scope of proposing an overhaul of the reconfirmation process. However, for the sake of argument, even if we were to work with the hypothesis that a mistake was made, "remove because, as I see it, you made a mistake" is also not appropriate. This is, yet again, a good example of why a Steward reconfirmation is not an election. With only a few exceptions, usually pertaining to unauthorized release of privileged information, we do not remove people because of a mistake. This was also discussed in the 2009 reconfirmation, referring to a couple of other Stewards. Furthermore, and again, the decision regarding Sj was not mine alone to make. The other Stewards acceeded to it, either explicitly or tacitly. Otherwise, as I mentioned above, they could have overruled me. Redux 16:03, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] You immediately disappeared when the reconfirmation was closed (as you appeared when the last and this confirmation started; but I assume good faith and trust your statement concerning your job). How could we disagree with your decision then? Also many stewards in fact were dissatisfied with your closures because you ignored all open (!) discussions on steward-l concerning this issue and all opposes (by stewards) in that reconfirmation by deciding all on your own in a confirming way. Should we have overruled you? Without discussing it with you? Without being able to quote a rule which should have prevented you from doing so? (Afaics there's no rule for ignoring discussions [in that case]. Luckily for this time a commitee of at least three users will do that in a consensus based way.) … I for myself came back from university and saw that all critical confirmations were closed by you without consensus, neither on mailinglist nor onwiki, and was not able to intervene because of the given facts. As I spoke for removing in each case I of course did not agree with you. You might disagree with me, too, but I rated that behaviour as quite uncooperative and misleading … —DerHexer (Talk) 16:36, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Actually, most of the Stewards made one or two comments on the discussion threads and then abandoned them completely, not returning to either review or reaffirm their positions in light of ongoing discussions, of which I was participating. As a rule of thumb, when discussing highly visible topics, I do not engage in discussions off-wiki (ie, via e-mail or instant chat). As far as I know, that is normally frowned upon, and sometimes viewed as even unethical — as a matter of fact, I recall this was actually a topic of discussion during the election in which I was appointed a Steward. In 2009, only a handful of the Stewards were actually involved with the discussions right up to the end on the actual discussion page. I'm rather surprised to learn that many Stewards were discussing this on other avenues and never intervened on the actual discussion page, which the community was following — I kept waiting for more input on some of the more polemical, close-call threads, but there was no more relevant discussion on them, except for a couple of back-and-forths between a few of those Stewards who were actually more involved there, but without any new input, those had ceased to bring anything new or relevant to the discussions. I didn't close any of the threads out of the blue. Furthermore, I noticed explicitly that, taking into account the reconfirmation itself and the Steward discussions, the entire process was already dragging too long, and we needed closure to it (new Stewards had already been appointed and still there was no conclusion to the reconfirmation process). And still, with the exception of Lar, no one was doing the actual closing of the discussions. I actually didn't want to close any threads except the clear-cut ones, but in the end, it was extremely unfair to have that process drag on for an unlimited period of time — something that doesn't happen in any other instance regarding elections, reconfirmations, etc.. So I closed them, because no one else was doing it. And in doing it, I took into account the current discussions on the actual reconfirmation page. Even if I had been following any private listings on the reconfirmation, I would not feel comfortable taking them into account in closing the process, because it was a public process, and even if Stewards were the only ones allowed to comment, the discussions were not supposed to be private, unless privileged information had to be exchanged, which was not the case. And in that regard, I must note that "public" only applies to pages on the Meta-Wiki. However, if the Stewards are adopting a new posture regarding such discussions, and this has, on at least some level, the agreement of the community — which I don't believe it does, but please correct me if I'm wrong — then no problem, I will start participating in off-wiki discussions when dealing with similar situations (but not on this reconfirmation, since I said I wasn't going to take part in the Steward discussions). Like I said, I'm all ears to any criticism and/or suggestions that might help the job.

No worries, Cirt (talk) 02:48, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] What is the point of this farce? The candidate has no respect for the community nor do his fellow stewards who interpreted two years of almost total inactivity as an irrelevant factor in the last two confirmations. This is insulting and ridiculous. --JayHenry 21:49, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Just a question: In which way low activity insults you or the community? —DerHexer (Talk) 22:13, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Well, perhaps he should have been removed per last time... I see that's a clear consensus to remove, but for some reason he wasn't. When the community elects you to do a job, it's only decent you do it. Sj did, for a while, but then got busy elsewhere and should really have handed the steward bit in a long time ago. Majorly talk 22:20, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] We stewards talked about how to hande inactivities on steward-l but one steward ignored that and closed all confirmations. We apparently did not want to make trouble and accepted that; also because of being chronically understaffed. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:26, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] You just answered your own question then about how this is a ridiculous and insulting farce of a process. --JayHenry 22:43, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Well, I'd not call that insulting. And of course not all steward appreciated that behaviour as you assumed here. —DerHexer (Talk) 22:52, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] But none of you did anything about it. The community unanimously said he should be removed. The community was unilaterally overridden and you sat by and did nothing. sj cares so incredibly little about the community that he didn't even bother to write a statement. Of course that's insulting, because it shows exactly what the stewards think of the community - zilch. I've been here a long time and, yes, I do find it insulting to have my views completely ignored on a whim. --JayHenry 22:56, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Statement is in clear view on the contrary. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 23:33, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Is it somehow unclear that my statement is about last year? --JayHenry 23:38, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Indeed. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 23:42, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] My point: this process is insulting because last year there was total consensus to remove and SJ couldn't even be bothered to write a statement. The Stewards don't care what the community thinks and reappointed him anyway. This is a joke. --JayHenry 23:52, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Not the stewards: Talk:Stewards/confirm/2009/en#Sj —DerHexer (Talk) 23:54, 20 February 2010 (UTC) P.S.: Whatever, I really appreciate Sj's frequent comments on steward-l and I do not want to miss them, even if he's not the most active steward. Not all steward actions are logged, and especially not all on meta.[reply] I do not agree that this is a "ridiculous and insulting farce of a process" Rather, it's one that has been carefully constructed to remove (or at least reduce the influence of) political and grudgeholding sorts of input... That is why it is a two phase process. The community gives input, in the form of praise or concern, plaudits or issues, and the stewards as a body evaluate what to do. Last year's community portion of the confirmation raised a lot of concerns. During the second phase those concerns were evaluated and addressed by the stewards, and by Sj. The question now is, has there been a change for the better sufficient to merit reconfirmation in the community's view? Rehashing last year's confirmation may not be the most productive thing to do. Speaking as a steward with visibility to nonpublic discussions, it's my view that Sj is a valuable member of the steward community, as I said on the 7th. I don't want to lose his insight and contributions behind the scenes. As I said on Anthere's reconfirmation, being a steward isn't just about bit twiddling, though that's an important part of it. It's also about thought leadership, internally (among other stewards) and externally (among the entire WMF community). Sj has that in spades. ++Lar: t/c 15:38, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Strawman. Nobody last year had political or grudgeholding input. Not one single person. I have no problem with sj, I have a problem with this bogus process, but, as with all processes whereby powerful users protect each other, it is never the place to discuss it, never the time, etc. Honestly, if you're going to completely ignore a unanimous consensus decision from the community, just don't ask for input in the first place. I brought it up here because I hadn't realized, until I saw this confirmation discussion, that the stewards didn't care at all what the community thought. I don't care if you reappoint SJ, but why put us through the charade of asking for our input when you don't care at all what we think? That you labeled last year's 100% honest input as "political" and "grudgeholding" tells us all we need to know about the value you place on opinions from non-stewards. --JayHenry 04:57, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] JayHenry, I have a great deal of respect for you, you are a careful and considerate wikimedian who has made many insightful comments in the past that people tend to take heed of, for their own good. But when you call this process "bogus", "ridiculous" and other pejorative terms, that's not at all helpful, I don't think. If you look across all the steward reconfirmations, there was lots of political and/or grudge-holding input last year, which is what I was referring to. There's even more of that this year, unfortunately. But all input is considered carefully. If you look at the steward discussion for sj you won't see the concerns raised brushed aside lightly. Sj was grilled about his intent, and it wasn't a shoo-in by any means. He made a commitment and he's met that commitment. ++Lar: t/c 15:02, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Remove Basically inactive, and has been since 2006 pretty much. Thanks for your hard work, but I think it's time to move on. Majorly talk 22:11, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Keep Not everything is quantifiable. Why are some here being so insulting? Can't we just be professional about this? --WiseWoman 08:15, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] I agree. My idea of professional and non-insulting, however, is an environment in which the views of longtime contributors are not disregarded. Now, it is true that in many professions it is the prerogative of the bosses to simply ignore the views of their underlings. Think of the "suggestions box" that the boss tosses in the garbage without reading. Our views are like those slips of paper to the stewards. I suppose it may be professional in that sense, but I struggle to see how it's something other than insulting. --JayHenry 05:17, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] JayHenry, I want to personally apologize for allowing the confirmations last year to be run in the manner you describe. I tried to ensure the community's intent was carried out, but I failed. I wasn't alone in that attempt, but I can only speak for myself. As stated elsewhere, I am ashamed of that failure. I also want you to know that while it is true that powerful users protect each other, I am not and will never be in that camp: I will always defend users (or not) on the merits of a given situation, or do my best at least. — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 00:41, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] keep While he is technically not very active, there are clear benefits to him continuing to have the Steward rights. Clearly can be trusted. The level of inactivity necessary for it to become a fundamental argument for removal is much more than this. (Minor disclaimer: I've interacted a lot with the user in real life so may have a biased opinion). JoshuaZ 00:53, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Keep per Billinghurst. Jayjg 22:06, 26 February 2010 (UTC) Remove per Mike.lifeguard. Jayjg 20:02, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] As last year, remove due to his lack of involvement as a steward. One can only assume that being a board member will exacerbate this. I feel obligated to point out that Sj has not followed up in any meaningful sense on his promise from last year to work on an improved process for making judgments about inactive stewards. I'm afraid I cannot disagree with JayHenry's assessment of this process in any meaningful sense either. I only hope our modified system this year will ensure the community's wishes are respected. Please see my comments on Redux's confirmation page as well. — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 00:41, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply] Confirm. A bit inactive.
