Wikisource:Administrators

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.

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.
 —Restricted access policy

A minimum of three established users must oppose below for a confirmation vote to be called. Users are free to indicate support for the administrator, although this has no effect on the outcome. Inactive administrators will automatically lose access unless a majority support continued access.

EVula

EVula (talk • contribs) SUL - SQL

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)
