Nome ofensivo

Oi, Striker. Nomes de usuários ofensivos, principalmente se eles citam na ofensa outro usuário, devem ser suprimidos. Na minha opinião, pelo menos o segundo nome para o qual acaba de pedir bloqueio deveria ter sido excluído das mudanças recentes. Boas ediçoes.” T_ele^s (T_{alk @ C S}) 19:32, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Eu apaguei apenas a que fazia referência a outro usuário diretamente e é um tanto mais grave. Acho que poderia eliminar as outras também, mas fica a seu critério. Boas.” T_ele^s (T_{alk @ C S}) 20:03, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Vi agora que apagou. Obrigado.” T_ele^s (T_{alk @ C S}) 20:47, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Usurp-request nl-wiki

See MoiraMoira's talk page. Kind regards, Lymantria 19:20, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Striker. You're now free to usurp "Striker" on nlwiki, because Taketa has renamed the old account, see here. Trijnstel 20:33, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Rollback

Instead of rollback, a explanation of free Wikipedia would be more helpful im my eyes. This is a feedback page, so if someone have something to complain this is the right place. Please use the rollback just in case of vandalism. Otherway, per Global rollback, Users should avoid rolling back legitimate or questionable edits if at all possible. Thanks --WizardOfOz ^talk 17:28, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Sorry didn´t saw that it wasn´t rollback. But this above counts even for undo button on such pages. --WizardOfOz ^talk 17:31, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Relativo ao nosso pedido de CU

Olá Striker!

Estou te contactando por aqui pois não quero que o pessoal lá do wikcionário tenha muito acesso ao que eu vou dizer.

O assunto que quero tratar é sobre o usuário "O Ec", que você listou no nosso pedido conjunto de CU do D&S. Esse O Ec não é um fantoche do D&S, é uma segunda conta de um outro usuário. Esse usuário me contactou via e-mail para dizer que vai desativar a sua primeira conta e só usar essa a partir de agora.

Se o CU indicar a outra conta do O Ec, eu gostaria de te pedir que não divulgasse isso lá no wikcionário, para não atrapalhar os planos de anonimato do usuário em questão.

Obrigado pela atenção.

--ValJor 10:18, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Se a conta não é usada por nenhum vândalo, o correto não é esperar a verificação e depois evitar anunciar. O correto é remover o nome do usuário do pedido e evitar que ele seja verificado! Seria incorreto de acordo com as regras verificar alguém que nada tem a ver com o caso, mesmo que o resultado não seja divulgado. Por favor, retirem o nome do usuário da lista de contas a serem verificadas.” T_ele^s (T _{@ L C S}) 21:50, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

SUL request

Hello. Excuse me, but stewards don't have the rights to rename you on a project with local bureaucrats. That's why I closed the request : you now have to contact them through the link I've given to you, or to directly contact baisemain (local 'crat). Regards, -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 21:13, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

You have been renamed. Please try to unify your global account now. Cordially, -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 22:39, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Question

Can you tell me on how I can be a global rollbacker? --Mohamed Aden Ighe 23:23, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Global rollback (2)

Hi Striker. Recently you became a global rollbacker, but I saw that your account was renamed three days later from Striker to Defender op ptwiktionary. Which account do you use more now - Striker or Defender? And on which one would you like to have your global rollback rights? I would like to hear from you soon. Kind regards, Trijnstel 19:41, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

This barnstar is given to you for your help with the 2011 fundraiser translation.

Hi! I just want to thank you and give you this barnstar for your help with the translation of the 2011 fundraiser! The fundraiser was the best we ever had, both in terms of the amount we collected and in terms of number of translations. We couldn't have done either one without the help we got from you and other translators. If you are interested, we made a report, which has some statistics about the translations.

And: I have one more request, and that is that you take this survey. You may have got an e-mail about it, and if you did, please ignore this. But if you didn't it would be great if you would take this survey too, so we can learn to improve the translation experience.

Again, thanks for your help with translations – you're awesome! Jon Harald Søby (WMF) 14:31, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Pergunta

Oi, Defender. Vejo que tem grande atividade por aqui no Meta há um certo tempo. Por que não se candidata a administrador? Por aqui é comum a nomeação de uma pessoa por terceiros. Se quiser, posso fazer a proposta do pedido.—Teles «Talk to me ˱_{@ L C S}˲» 20:36, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Olá Teles. No início do mês, fui recomendado a esperar mais, por isso estou um pouco receoso de abrir a candidatura hoje por conta. Se você puder fazer a proposta, eu agradeceria, mas não me importo em esperar mais um tempo se você achar melhor. Um abraço, Defender (talk) 21:42, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

É... o que ela falou faz sentido. Talvez alguns fiquem na dúvida ou até votem contra por conta disso. Se não tiver pressa, podemos esperar mais, mas também podemos arriscar se quiser.—Teles «Talk to me ˱_{@ L C S}˲» 04:43, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Using my own talk page

Could you please point me to the policy which outlines what I am allowed to post on my own talk page? I don't understand why you reverted my edits to my own talk page. Frietjes (talk) 21:29, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

I only undone that edit because talk pages (as well as other pages except your user page/subpages and the sandbox) aren't appropriate places for test edits. If it wasn't a test edit, please accept my apologies. Regards, Defender (talk) 21:52, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations, Dear Administrator!

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades... (our budget is smaller than Commons)

Elton/Archive, congratulations! You now have the rights of administrator on Meta. Please take a moment to read the Meta:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat, and Meta:Requests for deletion, but also Talk:Spam blacklist and Talk:Interwiki map), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-admin @ irc.freenode.net. You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading although it doesn't always completely apply here at Meta.

Please also check or add your entry to Meta:Administrators#List of administrators and the Template:List of administrators.

problema

Estou com um problema. Estou fazendo algumas traduções usando a ferramenta de traduzir. Com isso tudo bem. Mas o problema que eu estou tendo aqui no Meta, tudo o que eu dou um click para lêr, a página abre para mim no modo de editar o código fonte, e não no modo de visualizar. Isso só está acontecendo comigo aqui no Meta, em pt.wikipedia.org tudo está normal. Ana Mercedes Gauna (talk) 00:35, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

configurações de preferência

Já olhei as configurações de preferência, no meu usuário, revi tudo, mas o problema continua. Tudo o que eu faço um click me abre a página no modo de editar o código fonte. A sua página de discussão não abriu assim para mim, porque eu usei o link que veio no meu email. Não sei como resolver isso. Eu já olhei todas as configurações, desmarquei tudo o que mandava editar automático em preferências, mas nada funcionou. Não sei qual configuração que está ativa, fazendo abrir automático o modo de editar com apenas um click em um link.Ana Mercedes Gauna (talk) 01:38, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Request for feedback on my GSoC'14 proposal

Hi Defender,

I am planning to work on the project titled "Tools for mass migration of legacy translated wiki content" this summer under Google Summer of Code. I have drafted a proposal for the same over the past few weeks. This project is going to help the translation adminstrators like you in a great way, as it would completely automate the tedious manual task of preparing a page for translation and then importing the translations into the Translate extension. You can check the proposal page for detailed information on how I plan to accomplish this.

As you would be an end user of this tool, it would be great if you could go through the proposal and provide feedback/suggestions. Your feedback would definitely help me improve the proposal as well help in creating an even better tool. You can do the same on the discussion page of the proposal or reply here, whichever is convenient for you. I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you!

P.S: I need to submit the proposal to Google by March 19, 2014.

Congrats new Global Sysop!

Hello, per your successful request on SRGP, I've assigned global sysop rights to your global account. Thanks for volunteering! Please re-read the gs policy page and feel free to ask myself, a steward, or your peers if you have any questions! You will shortly be subscribed to the gs mailing list as well. Have a nice day :D Ajraddatz (talk) 23:05, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

... or you can subscribe yourself via mail:global-sysops so that one of the list admins (me, Snowolf or Jyothis) will accept your request. You can also approach one of us via IRC or, maybe even better, via email (Special:EmailUser) so that we have your email address confirmed. Good luck with the buttons!

TemplateScript

Hello Defender. I updated your common.js page to the latest version of TemplateScript. You were using a much older version called 'regex menu framework', so the main difference you'll see is an improved regex editor (though it has many new features for text snippets and scripting). If you notice any problems or have questions, let me know! :) —Pathoschild 04:12, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Superprotect status

Dear Defender, since you are an administrator on a wiki from which no user participated in this discussion, I'd like to make sure you are aware of some recent events which may alter what the Wikimedia Foundation lets you do on your wiki: Superprotect.

• Request for comment: Requests for comment/Superprotect rights
• An open letter about its implementation: Letter to Wikimedia Foundation: Superprotect and Media Viewer

Global CSS/JS migration

Hello Defender. You have a global.js page which contains your global scripts for all wikis. Since August 19^th, your global.js and global.css pages are loaded automatically on all wikis (see announcement). Since you already load them yourself on some wikis, you may experience script errors or issues like tools being added twice. I can fix that for you by merging your local scripts and styles into your global pages, and deleting the local pages with synchbot. Do you want me to do that? —Pathoschild 03:50, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

@Pathoschild: Yes, please. Sorry for the long absence. Defender (talk) 12:09, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

This was done a few weeks ago. You can see the full log on your archive page. :) —Pathoschild 18:59, 07 February 2015 (UTC)

help pls

Hi; I am a student in Başkent University. ip 212.156.67.30 is used by Başkent Üniversitesi in Turkey. But it was blocked in Turkish wikipedia for unlimited time. block begins: 23:15, 6 Feb. 2011. Since that time whole university can not make any edits in Turkish wikipedia. We university students want to edit turkish wikipedia. Local adminstrators say they are very angry with an old time user and they dont unblock th i.p. and they punish a whole university. It has been a long time and probably the person that makes them angry is graduate by now. Thank you for help.

Thanks

Thanks for the help. I just noticed it and I appreciate you fixing my oops. Reguyla (talk) 11:28, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Global renamer

Hello, sorry in advance if I am bothering you. I saw your withdrawal from the 2016 election. Even if it is not the type of task you had in mind, I want to inform you about a possibility here on meta. After the SUL finalization there is a search for Global_renamers.

As I did with other users, I am contacting you because at the moment in Global_renamers#Users_with_global_rename_access and Stewards#List_of_current_stewards, if I correctly remember, we have only 4 pt>3. That's probably enough, but some of them are not very active, so maybe sometimes a backlog could occur. Plus, there are more potential user who only speaks Portuguese that may enter the "wiki system" in the following years.

Now, you have a good English knowledge, a cross-wiki experience and you are a sysop on different projects, so you know how to deal with user-related issues. If you want to be more involved in the GR tasks in the future, feel free to apply. We have accepted in the past months candidates with much lower cross-wiki activity or language skills than you, so you probably have good chances. Constant activity is not a big issue, if look at the GR stats. After all, it is a simple task, you just need to read carefully few guidelines. If you want to apply, I suggest you to translate or update some of the meta page Global renamers into your own language if needed.

Please notice that I am not an expert user on meta nor a local bureaucrat or sysop, I just care about the "variety" of the meta environment and I though that it was useful to inform some users of the opportunity. If you know yourself some profile who might be interested, please let him/her know this "opportunity". If you are not interested, or you prefer to wait to have more experience, or you think you won't be very active in the following months, that's great as well.

Have a nice day.--Alexmar983 (talk) 02:17, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello Alexmar983. Of course I'm interested to help in this area as well. I'm in doubt if I should request the tools now or wait a bit more because it may be considered too early since I intensified my activity level. Best regards, Defender (talk) 18:44, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

IMHO you shouldn't worry too much, I could understand if you had proposed yourself directly aftr the withdrawal, but I see no hurry from your side, I came to your talk. In any case waiting is always a good strategy if doubtful, so spend some time reading the guidilines, translate them if necessary (there is always some new part in need of translation), ask around the other GRs... it is not a bad idea.--Alexmar983 (talk) 04:38, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

The problem with suppression of block log entries

They are still visible Krett12 (talk) 19:36, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

No harm intended, I'm just pointing it out so you know it's not *really* private. Krett12 (talk) 19:36, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

@Krett12: unfortunately those accounts remain visible on this page unless they're oversighted, but hiding the entries from the block log with revdel reduces their visibility at least. Defender (talk) 22:12, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Well they'll still be on Special:BlockList no matter HOW much you suppress them---do you mean suppressing the account? Krett12 (talk) 22:26, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

@Krett12: currently only oversighters and stewards have access to the hideuser right (the option on Special:Block to 'block a username, hiding it from the public'). Regular admins can hide the entry on special:log/block, but the account remains visible on Special:BlockList, as it has been reported here. This should be fixed IMO. We can ask local oversighters and stewards for assistence, but the response itsn't always immediate and not all of these accounts meet the criteria outlined in the Oversight policy. Some offensive accounts don't make reference to any user, so I'm not sure they fall under criteria #4 (Hiding of blatant attack names on automated lists and logs, where this does not disrupt edit histories) of the OS policy. Pinging @Ajraddatz:, @MarcoAurelio:, @Trijnstel: sorry if I am bothering, but I'd like an opinion here. Defender (talk) 16:55, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Are you a steward? If you are, just go here and make changes to any account you like. (Well there are rules but you get my point). If not, just ask them to go there, type in the username, and check the "hidden" checkbox. I agree that it needs fixing, and the only way I know involves tearing down the entire block list. Krett12 (talk) 23:15, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

┌─────────────┘
I'm neighter steward nor local oversighter. I've always asked for assistence on IRC and e-mail when there's a need to request suppression. Meta has 4 oversighters now, but two of them aren't very active. There might be room for another oversighter, but I don't know if the community trusts me enough to grant me that access. IMHO what we need is a fix for this "bug", so accounts hidden from the block log with RevDel are no longer shown on this page. Best regards, Defender (talk) 23:45, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
