Leutha (talk • email • contribs • stats • logs • global account)

I have recently celebrated a year of editing on Wikiversity, although I have been a Wikipedia editor for several years. During that year I have:

• Worked with the University of Westminster putting SPIR608 Political Simulations and Gaming on WV
• Worked with the University of Westminster and the University of Surrey putting Portal:Simulation and Gaming Archive on WV
• Worked on British Empire course design
• Developed templates so that the List of Custodians sorts by date order
• Promoted WV at the Wikimedia UK Conference:Wiki in the lecture room

I also regularly attend Wikimedia London Meet ups, I am active with Wikmedia GLAM outreach, and I am currently working with Wikimedia UK on a collaborative project with The National Archives

I would also like to see WV develop by working more closely with Wikimedia Outreach on developing Open Educational Resources

I have also been active on Wikieducator and would like to see a closer relationship with them.

I feel becoming a WV Custodian would help me make further useful contributions to WV.Leutha 08:20, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

2019 Discussion

User:Leutha was nominated for custodianship at a time when Wikiversity had probationary custodians. Probationary custodianship did not require a community vote, just mentor support. Since that time, the WMF has clarified rights requirements. No one is allowed to have access to deleted content without explicit support of the community.

I initially proposed that Leutha could either self-remove the Custodian flag and be granted Curatorship, or explicitly request a vote on custodianship. There has been no response. Leutha has only posted twice at Wikiversity in the past 23 months.

I am therefore requesting that we officially vote to remove Custodian rights for User:Leutha, without prejudice. If this was a simple bit-flip, I'd flip it. But we need to have community support so we can request Steward action. Please vote below and either support or oppose removal of custodian rights for User:Leutha.

Voting to Remove Custodian Rights

• Support as proposer. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 01:01, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
• Support I don't believe Leutha ever used the tools within the last two years! --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 01:19, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
• Support - user is inactive:
  • Last edit: December 2018
  • Only 5 edits since November 2017
  • Last log entry: March 2017
  • Only 3 log entries since September 2015
  • No prejudice against a future request if the user returns. Thanks, --DannyS712 (discuss • contribs) 01:20, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
• Support it is not safe to leave advanced rights on inactive accounts. Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) ^talk 01:39, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
• Support removal. This is an obvious instance where the tools should be removed. --mikeu ^talk 01:53, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

I also have no prejudice regarding a future reapplication and would welcome continued participation in any form. --mikeu ^talk 01:03, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
