EVula

2008-11 admin

EVula (talk • contribs)

In our wiki since Oct. 2006, ...

improving our headers since February 2007	broken link to Wikipedia; adding a Wikipedia excerpt for readers; [citation needed]?
add interwiki links since September 2007	Polish Macbeth; syncing Shakespeare's author page; Russian Sonnet 132
reading WS:COPYVIO since November 2007	proof!

And then in August 2008, after 40 edits over two years, EVula became active, with this picky edit seeming to bring on the rush. Since then there have been plenty of corrections, reverting vandalism, pres. fixes, copyright answers, deletion discussions, etc.

Clearly a follyglot; here is a list of 30+ wikisource projects that EVula has been working on, mostly setting up {{InterLanguage-AuthorsByLetter}} everywhere, but also unifying our subprojects by adding links between templates and project pages.
[1][2][3][4][5][6] (I could fill ten pages of diffs, many not on en.ws)

To complement that, in less then two months (since mid September), EVula also has done nearly 500 edits in Page: namespace; proofreading, validating, and even downgrading some pages, bugging people, and helping in the decisions. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 09:49, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I accept, though I feel terrible that you had to spend so much time pulling together all those diffs. :) EVula // talk // 15:25, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

• Support — No concerns, obviously. re that matrix: tl:dr!!! And don't worry about the time John put in on the diffs, he'll get the work back out of you ;) Cheers, Jack Merridew 15:41, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

2009-10 confirmation

The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived: Confirmed

Administrator since November 2008 by consensus (see previous discussions), currently inactive (contributions, logs, crosswiki). EVula will be removed automatically unless a simple majority of established users support continued access.

• Support, No concerns. Activity dropped in February when EVula was elected as an oversighter on English Wikipedia at a time when we desperately needed more hands on deck. EVula travels around the wikis a lot. In addition to adding Wikisource links to other projects, I've spotted him over at Romanian Wikisource and Korean Wikisource, linking our projects together.

  Comment I have sent EVula a courtesy note that his adminship is being discussed here. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 11:44, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

• Support. No concerns at this time. -- billinghurst (talk) 10:26, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

2010-12 confirmation (failed)

admin since November 2008 (see previous discussions), currently inactive (contributions, logs, crosswiki). EVula will be removed automatically unless a simple majority of established users support continued access.

comment—left a note that up for confirmation and had been noted as inactive — billinghurst sDrewth 06:32, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

• Leaning support. Inactive enough for desysop according to policy, but still active on other projects. I assume he has email notifications enabled, and would respond promptly if a newbie randomly asked him a question. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 05:42, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
• Desysop. 8 edits in 18 months. Sysops should be familiar faces who are active, and reasonably up to date on current discussions and consensus. Hesperian 12:24, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
• Weak desysop If he's still active elsewhere and wanted to remain involved in WS, no doubt he'd be active here too.--Longfellow (talk) 14:53, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
• desysop inactive and not particularly a user of tools (see above Admin statistics), welcome back when able — billinghurst sDrewth 01:41, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
• Desysop inactive under the criteria, hasn't replied to a request for statement of activity in 13 days, I think we can assume he's not coming back any time soon. Of course, if he does want to return to adminship, that's fine when the time comes. Inductiveload—talk/contribs 00:23, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
• weak support per John, and I simply can't say no given the most recent edit. ws has shown me tolerance for gaps here when I'm intent over there and I appreciate that. An un-bit is certainly a reasonable thing, too, and I've no problem with that outcome, either. Merry Christmas, Jack Merridew 18:35, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
• Desysop. Seems to have only been active for a couple of months in 2008. It would be trivial for EVula to regain adminship should he want to become active again in the future. Jafeluv (talk) 09:37, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Not confirmed, with bureaucrat agreement. —Pathoschild 19:45:31, 02 January 2011 (UTC)

Requested desysop Meta--BirgitteSB 20:01, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Done. —Pathoschild 20:07:33, 02 January 2011 (UTC)
