Wikisource:Administrators

[edit] Current administrators

Administrators are given access for one year per the Restricted access policy. Regular votes are held to confirm each user's status. Other languages indicate the areas in which the administrators might be able to converse with outside project members, or help provide public domain translations.

[edit] Confirmation discussions

Restricted access depends on the continued support of the community. This may be tested by a vote of confidence, in which a simple majority (50%+1) must support the user's continued access for it to be retained. (What access a discussion concerns should be explicitly noted in the discussion's introduction.) Any user may propose a vote of confidence, but at least three established users must support the need for one before it can be called. Such a proposal is made automatically one year after the last scheduled or called proposal (concerning all restricted access).

In the case of an unscheduled (called) proposal, the user may not use the restricted access for any non-trivial action at any time until the vote is closed. A bureaucrat will eventually archive the discussion and, if so decided, request removal of restricted access by a steward.

• Desysop. zero activity since reconfirmation last year. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 12:13, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
• Desysop; inactivity. --Spangineer^wp (háblame) 14:20, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
• Desysop as per policy for inactivity. -- billinghurst (talk) 12:49, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
• Neutral. One of our best contributors, in my opinion, but now unfortunately inactive. Would gladly support continued adminship following future activity. Jude (talk) 12:53, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Don't disagree, however, as stated previously, the policy is specific, and could do with the ability for a "get out of jail free" clause. billinghurst (talk)

[edit] Nominations for adminship

Older nominations are archived.

[edit] Eliyak

Eliyak (talk • contribs) - SUL - YAEC

Quoting Jeepday[1], Eliyak has a long edit history here at Wikisource, and a highly specialized interest and knowledge. Eliyak has predominately worked on the Wikisource:Open Mishnah Project since July 2006. In addition to content work, Eliyak has been building the project side of things as well.[2][3]

With user:Dovi retired from adminship here on English Wikisource in order to focus on Hebrew Wikisource, I think it will be beneficial to this project to have an admin among the members of the Mishnah project, and Eliyak has agreed to do so[4]. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 04:26, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

• Support, as nom. In addition to the dedication to one of our bigger projects here on Wikisource, Eliyak has nearly 40,000 edits to Wikipedia since January 2006, without any major incident that I can find. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 04:26, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
• Support Competence, cluefulness along with willingness are good attributes. -- billinghurst (talk) 12:54, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
• Support per John and signs of good work. Cheers, Jack Merridew 13:40, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
• Support, - Josette (talk) 17:04, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Charles Matthews

Charles Matthews (talk • contribs) - SUL - YAEC

Charles is a greatly experienced Wiki...ian, and sysop on enWP, with other high level expertise and exposure in that wiki. He has been undertaking a high level of work on our DNB project, and multiple interwiki, and helpfully watching over us from another time zone. I believe that with the administrator tools he will prove to be more useful to us, especially in the vandalism detection and reversion space. Therefore, I'd like to nominate him for adminship. -- billinghurst (talk) 15:01, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Some history - I have been a wiki admin for six years, first on Sensei's Library, and since 2004 on enWP, where I have also served as Arbitrator. I was going to go gently as far as considering being an admin here was concerned, but the current rash of vandal attacks seems a good reason not to be that reticent, and accept the kind nomination. I have been fairly active here in 2009 (having got through around 1% of the DNB articles, numerically speaking). I did hundreds of conversions of Catholic Encyclopedia articles on enWP, during 2008, and most of the DNB articles I do are for immediate use (16th or 17th century material), new articles or filling out stubs. I'm also a co-author of How Wikipedia Works, and that can stand in for my general ideas on wiki stuff, though I'll certainly answer any questions people may have. Charles Matthews (talk) 15:23, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

• Support as per nom. billinghurst (talk) 15:02, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
