Millosh (talk · contribs)

I am mostly active at sr.wn and I am working on its infrastructure. A couple of days ago I am asked to make bots for en.wn. I need admin permissions mostly for page deletion because of dealing with bots. As a steward I have necessary permissions, but I need community consensus to use them. So, both options are good enough for me: (1) to have local admin permissions or (2) to have approval from the community to use my existing admin-related permissions which I have as a steward. --millosh (talk) 11:13, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Comments and questions

• Comment Since you're trusted as a steward, and can take admin rights, the only other thing is editor rights. Administrators are generally trusted to handle these and it's effectively automatic with admin. As you are not too involved in the daily work on enwn with these tools are you happy to forego peer reviewing articles? Obviously, if you see vandalism, it's better you can revert to a sighted version where one exists. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 12:36, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

  Any technical work which I am able to do is not a problem. As I am working now on bots for en.wn, I am watching en.wn RC more often; so, if I see any vandalism, I'll revert it, as well as I may help with blocking [obvious] vandals and spammers. At the other side, my involvement at the most of Wikimedia projects is structural, which means that I am not an editor anywhere in the narrow sense. Even thou I wanted (and I want) to make interviews and to participate more in writing, I don't have enough of time for that (actually, I've made less than 10 real stories in Serbian since I've started to take care about sr.wn in 2007). In other words, I am good as a bureaucrat and not so useful as a journalist or encyclopedist. --millosh (talk) 15:18, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
