I would like to request for admin and interface admin rights for Tai Nuea Wikipedia. Thanks. Saimawnkham (talk) 23:05, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Saimawnkham: There doesn't seem to be anyone who commented on the request, and your userpage doesn't state if you have any proficiency in Tai Nuea. Are you native in the language of the project? EPIC (talk) 21:55, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello , @Amire80:, @SatiGahi95:, @Ninjastrikers: How should i answer this question? Help me to explain. Thanks.Saimawnkham (talk) 01:41, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @EPIC I hope you may checked my status and activities. As you may known that Tai Nuea language is the same language family of ours, Kra–Dai. As for that I can help tdd Wikipedia such as creating Templates, Modules and MediaWiki files those are essentially needed by tdd. If you assume I am not enough to help them let it be. May be I am less aware of protocol. Thanks. Saimawnkham (talk) 06:41, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see any issues with granting the flags since you hold A/IA elsewhere, I only asked if you had proficiency in the language since there were no supports and you had 42 edits on the project (we have declined some similar requests in the past). I think we could close this as done if there are no objections, though. EPIC (talk) 07:37, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- @EPICThanks. Saimawnkham (talk) 15:15, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- It may be OK to grant temporary rights, but:
- An editor who actually knows the language should at least reply in the discussion.
- An editor who actually knows the language should be encouraged to become an administrator. Maybe @DaiMengMaoLong or @Yang Yan Ao Thuan.
- Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 14:04, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Amire80, ideally, yes, that would be highly desirable. But it is not a requirement. That said of course people who have no proficiency in the language should only limit their help to things that do not require language proficiency unless they act in close cooperation with native or proficient speakers. --Base (talk) 17:59, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- It may be OK to grant temporary rights, but:
- Hello, did you guys take a look some articles in tdd? Tdd doesn't even has commons files (*.js, *.css) on it. There are alot of interface issues. Who will fix it? I hope you guys doing something ASAP. Long waiting makes me lose faith to contribute that project. Thanks. Saimawnkham (talk) 23:38, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

- Saimawnkham,
Granted for 6 months to expire on 2025-06-28. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. As per above please make sure that you only help with technical things or work in close cooperation with someone that speaks tdd if you need to contribute some messages etc. Please also try to find some tdd speakers who could become administrators themselves, that said lack of such is not a blocker per our normal practices. --Base (talk) 18:05, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

I would also like to request admin status in Komering Wikipedia to help the other active editor oversees the project.

I want to get adminship & interface adminship because there are no active administrators in our language project. And I am the only active editor since the section was created.

- Since your request only seems to mention that you are running for regular adminship, I have only granted you that. For interface admin rights, please open a new local request with a clear mention that you are running for interface adminship, wait for at least a week and return here with a new request. As per WMF requirements for that role, please also remember to enable 2FA through krc:Special:OATH. EPIC (talk) 20:00, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I am an administrator at Malay Wikisource, but I need interface adminship at Malay Wikisource for the continuous maintenance of the platform.

Please grant me checkuser rights on uzwiki for an indefinite period. Since "On any wiki, there must be at least two users with CheckUser status, or none at all", I'm creating two requests simultaneously, the other being for Malikxan (see the separate nomination below). I've met the requirements for appointing local CheckUsers: I received 100% support, with 28 votes. I've already signed the NDA. Nataev talk 19:23, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
On hold for internal discussion. EPIC (talk) 20:58, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- As an active user and sysop, I would like to express my opinion. I respect the community's decision, but how big was the demand for the checkuser that you decided to choose one? There have been only 3 checkuser requests in the last 3 years for uzwiki which one of them was rejected: [1]. As far as I can see, none of the candidacies mention this demand, nor do they provide examples. It's just "our project has grown significantly and the number of users has increased, so there is a need" written as a reason, but where the need is is not mentioned. I don't think is a valid reason. I wonder what the stewards think about this. Nemoralis (talk) 23:10, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- We don't opinionate on a community decision, but we are reviewing the circumstances of the revision and hope to have an answer in the next 24 hours. If it helps your analysis, there have been 5 sets of checks ran since 2020 on that wiki, with some related to crosswiki LTAs making a mess. -- Amanda (she/her) 04:06, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, @Nemoralis! One of the key reasons we need local checkusers is due to the WikiStipendiya edit-a-thon. To give some context, the Youth Affairs Agency of Uzbekistan, the project's sponsors, has insisted on offering large cash prizes since the initiative was launched in 2022. Despite our user group's calls for more reasonable reductions, last month they awarded prizes of up to 20 million UZS (around 1,500 USD)! (Their original plan was to offer 275 million UZS, roughly 29,000 USD, to a few groups of users!)
- To make matters worse, last year they made the unfortunate decision to encourage users to form competing groups. As we anticipated, this led to various questionable activities, including the creation of sockpuppet accounts to report members of other groups on a dedicated forum for abusing the Content Translation tool. In light of all this, I took the lead in convincing the agency to abandon the idea of awarding prizes to groups in favor of recognizing individual users.
- We're currently in discussions with the Youth Affairs Agency to continue our collaboration. While we are pushing for dropping cash prizes and a shift away from focusing on quantity over quality, we remain concerned that disruptive behavior could continue. Moreover, having to report cases on meta takes time and effort, and at least in one case by the time we requested a checkuser here on meta, the necessary data was no longer there. Hence the need for local checkusers. Nataev talk 19:36, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Done after steward discussion. Letting list admins know as well, so that they can handle the rest. EPIC (talk) 15:30, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
