Instructions

Please add your request for custodianship (or other staff positions) below. Include a short summary of why you think you should be given the privileges and please refer to your involvement in other Wikimedia projects. If you have sysop/bureaucrat status at a sister project, please indicate so as well.

In a wiki, trust arises from good editing of webpages and "good editing" is what advances the project. If you have a record of good editing then you are likely to be trusted and be granted the tools to protect pages from vandalism and block vandals and delete useless pages. Having those tools really just means you have to do more work - dull and boring work - for the community.

Please place candidate requests or nominations on a subpage and transclude it here.

I nominate User:Greg at Higher Math Help to be a curator. This person is very active on Wikiversity through their Eventmath project. And they have a solid record as a content editor on Wikipedia. This is all documented by the following four links. I can also add that I have found them extremely easy to work with.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 15:07, 2 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Questions

Comments

Thanks for the nomination, Guy! I've added more information to my user page, to let everyone know what I'm up to. This includes assisting new Eventmath contributors during online meetups. Curatorship would allow me to better support these new users, and it may also be helpful as I add more features for them. Thanks to all of you for the support :) --Greg at Higher Math Help (discuss • contribs) 05:28, 8 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I am self-nominating for full custodianship. I have been a curator for six or seven years and it would be helpful to have the capacity to revdel and block as necessary. I am also a global rollbacker and admin on several WMF wikis, so I hope others trust my judgement. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:44, 3 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Questions

  • Have you contacted to any user on Wikiversity:List of custodian mentors? MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 03:13, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I have not. Dave has been the closest to guiding me or fulfilling a mentor role, but I have not asked him for formally getting mentorship here on this vote. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:08, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Out of the three users on that list, Dave is "taking a wikibreak" (according to his user page), Jtneill is busy with Motivation and emotion, and Mu301 has no substantial edits since April. I would support a waiver of this requirement. Omphalographer (discuss • contribs) 18:37, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comments

  •   Comment The statement above says "I am self-nominating for Curatorship. I have been a custodian for a couple of years" but I think you are self-nominating for Custodianship, and you have been a curator for a couple of years. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 04:10, 3 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Just fixed it. Sorry. I created this from copy/pasting and I was also dealing with rapid vandalism on the wiki (thanks also to you, MX for helping). —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:28, 3 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Some relevant links for a relative Wikiversity newbie like me:
  • Moved votes in comment section to voting section. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 03:13, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • To stop vandals coming here and continue the discussion without disruption, I set semi-protection to this page for a while. Users who cannot edit this page can use the talk page for comments or questions etc. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 07:00, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Support
  1.   Support. You've been active in handling vandalism on the wiki, and you should have the appropriate tools to remediate it. Omphalographer (discuss • contribs) 20:33, 4 September 2023 (UTC)(Moved from comment section to voting section, MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 03:13, 5 September 2023 (UTC))Reply[reply]
  2.   Support - trusted user, long experience on several wikis with advanced permissions, looks good to me - thank you for volunteering! Antandrus (discuss • contribs) 02:55, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  3.   Support - With respect to the works mentioned above by the candidate and others. Thank you very much for helping Wikiversity. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 03:13, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  4.   Support - Appreciate offering of your experience/expertise. No concerns. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:35, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  5.   Support - Subjectively, I have a very good impression from Justin admin actions on the English Wiktionary. Objectively, Justin is already a quasi-admin/curator in Wikiversity (can delete pages), and I see no reason why he should not be able to use block tool as well, becoming a full-admin/custodian. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 06:06, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  6.   Support - Thanks for volunteering. Appreciate your work. Stevesuny (discuss • contribs)
  7.   Support - Need more hands here. Thanks for your help. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 01:52, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  8.   Support - Bocardodarapti (discuss • contribs) 11:22, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  9.   Support - Consistently good work for Wikiversity in all sorts of places. --Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 02:41, 7 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  10.   Support - Justin is a well-behaved Wiktionary administrator, and he is a highly experienced wiki editor in general. Justin certainly deserves a chance at custodianship. --Elominius (discuss • contribs) 15:16, 8 September 2023 (UTC) - last modified 15:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose
  1. TBD
