Green check.png This page is an official policy on the English Wikinews. It has wide acceptance among editors and is considered a standard that all users should follow. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page.

This page enables administrators and bureaucrats to handle permissions requests, including granting administrator, bureaucrat, reviewer, editor, checkuser and oversight permissions, and revoking them on this wiki. Please be aware that we can only alter permissions for this wiki. To change permissions for any other wiki, check your local policies, or go to Meta.

For urgent requests, please join our IRC channel at #wikinews-en, and type !admin@enwikinews.

[edit] Requests for adminship

  1. You've done at least two months' work on Wikinews.
  2. You are trusted by the community.
You can view some of the latest requests in the archive, where you can also see some common questions, comments and objections made during the process.

After seven days, a bureaucrat will turn those users into sysops who have consensus support from the community. Do not list people as administrators who have not been granted the appropriate permissions by a bureaucrat!

See Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Archive for old requests. Don't forget to inform the Wikinews community of your RFA.

The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a successful request for adminship. Please do not modify it.

[edit] Dendodge (talk · contribs)

I'd like to nominate Dendodge for adminship here. He's been around for over half a year now, and has been consistently active for the past two or so months. He's written and reviewed a lot of articles in his time here, and I think he could help the project even more with the admin tools. Tempodivalse [talk] 20:30, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Questions and comments

  • Symbol question.svg Question Do you accept this nomination? Tempodivalse [talk] 20:30, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
    • I am honoured by the nomination, and humbly accept in the hope that it will be the first step towards achieving my evil plans for world domination! Dendodge T\C 20:37, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Symbol comment vote.svg Comment Take the job seriously, but never take yourself seriously. --Brian McNeil / talk 01:53, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Votes

  • Symbol support vote.svg Support as nominator. Tempodivalse [talk] 20:30, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support - I nom'd him for sysop at the English Wikipedia, so I'm still pretty confident in Dendodge's abilities as an admin. –Juliancolton | Talk 21:13, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support, per Tempodivalse (talk · contribs). Cirt (talk) 21:15, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 21:37, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support although, I'm worried about this 'humbly' bit. You're supposed to become a Wikinews admin with plans for world domination — then get handed a bucket and mop. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:50, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support I agree I am a new user and do not know much about Wikinews policies and guidelines, why to support for an RfA under what conditions, etc. but Dendodge has helped me a lot in my early stages and he has guided me with the policies and I was totally new to Flagged Revs as wikipedia doesn't have it. He helped me out with that too. I think he is quite experienced and knows about wikinews and the community very well. So, I think I have to support and he has received good community consensus above.

  • Symbol support vote.svg Support Yep    Tris   12:51, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support per Brianmc though, this humbleness is a bit disturbing, but it could just be a ploy to get us to let our guard down ;). Bawolff ☺☻ 01:37, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
    • Better now? Dendodge T\C 19:10, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
      • Ha! The evil conspirator has his vile scheme uncovered! Weclome to the cabal janitor's room. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 20:54, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
        • Much better. Strong Symbol support vote.svg Support. Bawolff ☺☻ 01:13, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support I don't know whether I can !vote; however, I support Dendodge to use the tools well. PmlineditorTalk 09:39, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support I thought he already was... --Skenmy talk 10:17, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support No reason to believe that Dendodge will misuse the tools --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 10:33, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Requests for removal of access

Remember: For requests for de-adminship or removal of other access rights, "Symbol support vote.svg Support" means "support removal of admin access," and "Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose" means "oppose removal of admin access."

Note that we currently have a Category:Admins open to recall.

[edit] Requests for reconfirmation

Any user in good standing may request a reconfirmation of an admin who has marked themselves open to recall here. Any administrator who would like a confirmation that he has the continued support of the community may also list themselves here. If you are requesting reconfirmation due to inactivity, click here.

Please use Support if you believe the listed administrator should retain their administrator privileges, or Oppose to vote for their removal.

[edit] Requests for CheckUser and Oversight

Confirming your identity

These rights require users to confirm their identity, and be at least 18 years old. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also submit the relevant identification to the Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until receipt has been formally confirmed by the office. All requests for CheckUser and Oversight must go through Meta, and should be made by a trusted administrator or bureaucrat following a clear successful vote.

[edit] Requests for bot status

See Wikinews:Bots.

[edit] Requests for Flagged revisions rights

See Wikinews:Flagged revisions/Requests for permissions. Please add requests to that page!

[edit] Requests for Wikinews:Accreditation

See Wikinews:Accreditation requests.
