CScott (b)

result: done.

Nom for bureaucratship. Because scott likes to be given random urgent tasks, and knows how to dance with a mop. --Sj talk 07:27, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

  • anti-vandalism support --Sj talk 07:27, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
    Done. We need more bureaucrats so that I'm not the only one accepting such requests. --Sj talk

gregorio

result: done.

Greg has been a dedicated and paranoid editor for over a year, and is now helping maintain activities for our releases. He could use adminship to protect and unprotect (and edit) such pages.

  • support ----Sj talk 06:56, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
    Done.


Hiro

result: no consensus; not adminned, can apply again later

hiro (talk · contribs)

Nominating myself so I could undo-vandalism and keep the pages clean. I do have wiki skills as I'm also a technical support for New World Encyclopedia

Comments

  • support -- Hiro is a very positive member of the S-G and I am convinced will used his powers for good in anti-vandalism Seth 00:43, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
    you don't need to be an admin to do good with anti-vandalism. --Sj talk
  • support Hiro has jumped in consistently to help, and is clear to say when he needs help or to get a second opinion, an inclusiveness that is valuable. Sandy 12 September 2008
  • support -- Hiro is a badass who livens things up, whenever we need him. User:Holt 12 September 2008


  • neutral - A week of editing isn't much. You may want to spend a bit more time getting to know this wiki and how people use it before becoming an admin... you can always install godmode-lite to get all the undo features (via javascript) that an admin gets :-) --Sj talk
    I haven't seen any updaets from Hiro since that one week... one of the reasons that more than a week's work is welome. Being an admin is no big deal, but it's important to have some experience with the site, to know its deletion and blocking policies and where communication takes place. --Sj talk 00:12, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Questions

  • What sort of tech work do you do for the NWE?
  • What types of page cleaning are you interested in?

Answers

  • In NWE, they don't use html codes within the wiki, so most of the time the templates being imported from wiki doesn't work. I help them convert that to wiki format, check double re-directs, and make template for special occasions.
  • I'm interested in counter-vandalism, because it really makes me mad to see people vandalize and it feels great to undo that within a manner of time. I don't know what other cleanings I could do, but I don't think I'll be suitable honestly for English/grammar article cleanup part, haha. --Hiro 00:27, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Homunq

result: Done. --Sj talk 09:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm self-nominating because it would be nice to be able to delete pages. I've come across enough false starts that have fuller versions elsewhere. Most of the wiki-work I do does not need the tools, but if I come across stuff (blockable vandalism or deleteable patent nonsense) on the way I'd like to be able to do it.

Comments

  • support -- Long and positive history on wiki, a well-known nym and contributor. Can be expected to use sysop privs wisely. cjl 05:50, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
  • support --Sj talk 00:12, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
    Note: be careful when deleting! If it's not a speedy deletion candidate, please tag it with {{delete}} and add it to Pages for deletion.

Bert

result: Done. --Sj talk 09:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Bert is one of the oldest contributors to the project and this wiki, and maintainer of our Etoys package. Bert has been around a long time, and knows some of the aspects of page protection that need to be maintained and fixed (say, for core activities) as well as the difference between good and bad edits.

cjl (b)

result: Done. --Sj talk 09:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Chris is good at listening to all sides of a situation and figuring out what is important, and has been part of the community for a long time. A good person to keep an eye on adminship and renames.

Mchua (b)

result: done.

Self-nomination: I would like to be able to help with the administrator-creating queue as well as renames (such as RT#31710). I have been a wiki admin here for nearly 1.5 years, have a long history of edits and welcoming new wiki contributors, and have this page on my watchlist. Mchua 21:43, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

  • support -- Mel certainly has the requisite skills, experience and temperment to serve the OLPC wiki community well in the b-crat role. In addition, we must face the fact that a good number of the current b-crats are either less active on the wiki (due to other demands on their time) or perhaps inactive all together. cjl 22:30, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
  • You mean she wasn't one already? support --Sj talk 15:54, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
  • support <sub>Yamaplos</sub> 03:26, 2 February 2009 (UTC) (how do you do the cute effects in the sig, SJ?)
    I'm guessing it would work with something other than '<sub>' - you can see from the wikitext that your markup is being automatically converted to html characters... --Sj talk
Hi - just popping in here to note that it's been more than the 10 days after which any bureaucrat could close the nomination, one way or the other. Mchua 05:03, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Done. cjl 22:54, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
