=== Global rollback for [[User:Nastoshka|Nastoshka]] ===

}} Hello! I'd like to make better use of my experience in the fight against vandalisms, spam and gibberish on the Wikimedia projects. I've been contributing (altough not regularly) on it.wikipedia and it.wiktionary since 2006 with my old account ([https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Utente:Moread&action=info User:Moread]). Three months ago I created this new global account and I joined the SWMT and started to contribute cross-wiki (more than 100 wikis). I point out that I am already Patroller on it.wiktionary and it.wikivoyage, so I think I know how the rollback tool works and when to use it. I'm also autopatrolled in some other wikis and I'm also almost bilingual (Italian and Russian) so I have no problem as well with cyrillic alphabet . Regards and thanks if you would consider me trustworthy. --[[User:Nastoshka|Nastoshka]] ([[User talk:Nastoshka|talk]]) 17:13, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

*{{s}} Checking over a bunch of the candidate's recent reverts shows competence in deciding which edits to revert. I've also noticed them active in the cvn-sw channel. Considering that almost five days have past, this request will probably stay open for longer, and I would encourage other users to check the candidate's global contributions themselves and vote. [[User:Ajraddatz|Ajraddatz]] ([[User Talk:Ajraddatz|talk]]) 06:52, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

+

*: Please note this isn't a vote and it is rather pointless to wait for more "<nowiki>{{support}} per above ~~~~</nowiki>" comments unless there is any opposition. Please also see [[en:WP:Silence and consensus]] (not even complete silence in this case) which explains how to deal with lack of opposition very well, in my opinion. [[User:Vogone|Vogone]] ([[User talk:Vogone|talk]]) 19:41, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

+

*::Actually, there is nothing to suggest that this isn't a vote. Furthermore, by vote I do not mean "<nowiki>{{support}} per above ~~~~</nowiki>", but rather comments of the nature that I've given which provide a justification for whether or not they should be given global rollback rights. As nice as no opposition is, it is even more nice to have a group of people who have confirmed that they've checked the candidate's global contributions and approve. Thanks, [[User:Ajraddatz|Ajraddatz]] ([[User Talk:Ajraddatz|talk]]) 19:43, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

+

*:::Quoting from the section header: "This is ''not'' a vote, and all input is welcome." And encouraging other users to review the candidate's contributions is nothing bad, I merely wondered why there should be a timely "extension" to this discussion. Regards, [[User:Vogone|Vogone]] ([[User talk:Vogone|talk]]) 23:26, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

+

*::::Hmm, didn't see that one. Either way, I think that a request for global rollback should have more than two comments before it is closed. Since it now has many more, I see no problem with closing on time. [[User:Ajraddatz|Ajraddatz]] ([[User Talk:Ajraddatz|talk]]) 23:42, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

* {{Support}}, I noticed one/few mistakes, but I feel (s)he has learned from them. --[[User:Stryn|Stryn]] ([[User talk:Stryn|talk]]) 19:23, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

+

* Good work, and easy {{Support}}, but I'd like to ask [[User:Nastoshka|Nastoshka]] the following questions: 1) should users who blank their talk pages be [https://gl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conversa_usuario%3A5.56.56.57&diff=prev&oldid=3231888 reverted]? (And why was it "vandalism"?) 2) you claim to have advanced knowledge of German, and I don't, so could you explain [https://de.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Wie_man_eine_Sprache_lernt&diff=prev&oldid=701524 this] to me? 3) why did you ''revert'' content addition [https://lv.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stende&diff=next&oldid=2160419 here]? Thx ~ [[User:DanielTom|DanielTom]] ([[User talk:DanielTom|talk]]) 20:49, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

+

::Olá [[User:DanielTom|DanielTom]] thank you very much for your support message. I think you've tracked down all the mistakes which Stryn referred to :) (I appreciate your fervour). So here are my explanations:

+

**Users who blank their own userpages: I come essentially from Wikipedia project among the other projects and on Wikipedia (both [https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pagina_utente italian] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:User_pages#Deleting_your_user_page_or_user_talk_page english]) we suggest not to blank user talk pages, since they contains message from other users which could be useful to find whenever in the future. So I considered it worthy to be reverted, if it was a mistake I'm sorry and I promise to be more carefull the next time. For the "vandalism" I've just pushed the wrong button on [[:en:Wikipedia:Twinkle|Twinkle]] (in stead of AGF revert)

+

**Correction on German Wikibooks: I actually study German at university and I've lived in Germany there some months. To exemplify the user who edited substituted present indicative to the subjunctive. In portuguese is the same thing as "tu és" and "tu sejas". But in that particular case I think that subjunctive expresses better the idea of the sentence. That was just a stylistic correction.

+

**Third link: Perhaps I should not have reverted that one but it was more than a month ago and I was less expert than I am now. In that period on Italian wikipedia we were fighting many IP that enjoyed to make such little vandalisms as substitute the number of inhabitans or an historic date with an incorrect one. On the page you linked I just thought that if many administrators and users had left the number of inhabitans in 1979 unchanged there was no reason to change it without linking a connected clear source, so I considered it something like a joke.

+

*{{support}}, no reason why not, also great language skills. I only wonder why they left their old account and began with a new one? [[User:Trijnstel|Trijnstel]][[User talk:Trijnstel|talk]] 23:06, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

+

::Thanks for your support [[User:Trijnstel|Trijnstel]]. The reason because I changed account is quite simple and may sound almost stupid. I had been non active for a long time after 2006 (more thab 2 years) and I just forgot the password and nickname, so I created a new account. When I started to contribute constantly and joined the cvn-sw I used this account because it has the advantage of being global while my old one was just local; so I decided to ask a bureaucrat to block my old one and use only this one. --[[User:Nastoshka|Nastoshka]] ([[User talk:Nastoshka|talk]]) 23:53, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

+

:::Judged by [[:it:Speciale:Contributi/Moread|the contribs of Moread]], I don't think that's true since you edited on the last few days until your account was blocked... [[User:Trijnstel|Trijnstel]][[User talk:Trijnstel|talk]] 19:51, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

+

::::I forgot to say that then I retrieved my password and nickname but at that moment I had already two accounts and [https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_utente:Helios#Nome_utente I asked a bureaucrat] whether was possible to unify the accounts but it were not possible. So I decided to keep only this one that is global. Sorry if I've not been enough clear --[[User:Nastoshka|Nastoshka]] ([[User talk:Nastoshka|talk]]) 20:12, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

+

*Great candidate: actively involved in reverting vandalism on multiple wikis, member of Small Wiki Monitoring Team, great language skills. [[User:PiRSquared17|PiRSquared17]] ([[User talk:PiRSquared17|talk]]) 01:03, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

*: Thanks for your (not unhelpful) input, but there are two things I would like to clarify. Firstly, global sysops are not elected but appointed. The discussion is just helping the stewards to decide whether it would be a good idea to appoint someone or not. Secondly, global sysop access does not increase your "power". It is merely technical and as the policy also states "[global sysops] have '''no''' extra editorial control over content or the local community." Though, it might be true that some GS/stewards are occassionally acting as if they were the "wiki police" which they obviously should not do but this is a different issue.

::{{not done}} The community including stewards are obviously divided in the present case due to perceived lack of experience and no consensus to grant the GS access exists now. In such a situation I think it is better for Aldnonymous to re-apply in 2-3 months for a clear consensus to be established. Therefore I close this nomination as '''not done''' but with a regret.

Hi. I'd like to request access to this toolkit to be able to delete vandal/spam/test pages and block persistent vandals on GS projects. I've been active in the [[SWMT]] with [[GR]] for some time and I have experience of being a sysop on [http://pt.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Listusers&username=Defender&group=&limit=1&uselang=en ptwiktionary], [http://pt.wikiquote.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Listusers&username=Defender&group=&limit=1&uselang=en ptwikiquote] and [[Meta:Requests for adminship/Defender|here on Meta]].

*{{support}} Per above (especially Glaisher, LlamaAl, DanielTom, Aldnonymous): he is very experienced with SWMT work, and often reverts vandalism and spam, and tags pages on small wikis for deletion. He is also among the most active of the SWMT. As a global sysop (being able to act on GS wikis instead of waiting for someone else to), he would be more efficient. Since he is already an admin on some wikis (Meta and two Portuguese projects), I think he can be trusted with global sysop tools. (FYI: I estimate he has 571 deleted edits on GS wikis, although that's not counting any under the "Striker" account).
