Request for Adminship

Hi Alison, unfortunately I can't actually remember where I requested adminship the last time. Stupid question but would you be able to show me :) --MacTire02 10:04, 14 Jerrey Souree 2008 (UTC)

Here it is --> m:Steward requests/Permissions#Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes - you can basically re-paste your old one, change the dates, etc and point to the phenomenal amount of work you've done as temporary sysop here. Indicate that you are running an RfA and that there's still a lot of ongoing sysop work to be done here. Also point to this diff which should help, and indicates my support, being an ex-temp sysop and regular member of the community here. Ádh mór ort ;) - Alison ^❤ 10:09, 14 Jerrey Souree 2008 (UTC)

T'eh jeant nish. All done now. Just sit back and wait I guess. Thanks for the support on the admin request. Much appreciated! :) --MacTire02 10:20, 14 Jerrey Souree 2008 (UTC)

And you're done! Excellent. BTW - I finished up all the botwork trivia last night, too - Alison ^❤ 17:04, 14 Jerrey Souree 2008 (UTC)

Clowan:Earroo Gaelgeyryn

Hi Alison, I noticed you added a {{Rolleyimraaghyn}} template to the {{Earroo Gaelgeyryn}} template. Is this necessary, as the page the template will be used on already has a references template? I am currently working on an article in my sandbox and I noticed that due to the references template being positioned on the template itself that I now have two references sections, one at the end of the article, and one directly after the content of the section the Earroo Gaelgeyryn template is located in? --MacTire02 08:43, 10 Jerrey Geuree 2011 (UTC)

Oops! Y'know, you're absolutely right. I'd not even noticed that it was being transcluded. Sorry! ^_^ - Alison ^❤ 23:58, 10 Jerrey Geuree 2011 (UTC)

Forced user renames coming soon for SUL

Hi, sorry for writing in English. I'm writing to ask you, as a bureaucrat of this wiki, to translate and review the notification that will be sent to all users, also on this wiki, who will be forced to change their user name on May 27 and will probably need your help with renames. You may also want to help with the pages m:Rename practices and m:Global rename policy. Thank you, Nemo 13:27, 3 Boaldyn 2013 (UTC)

An important message about renaming users

Dear Alison, My aplogies for writing in English. Please translate or have this translated for you if it will help. I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.

As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.

Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.

The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.

Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.

In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.

Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.

Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk 18:24, 25 Luanistyn 2014 (UTC)

Your administrator and bureaucrat status on the Manx Wikipedia

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on the wiki listed above. Since that wiki does not have its own rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights.

If you wish to resign your rights, you can reply here or request removal of your rights on Meta.

If there is no response at all after approximately one month, stewards will proceed to remove your administrator and/or bureaucrat rights. In ambiguous cases, stewards will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact the stewards.

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Personal attacks

"How's the porn stars and "Playboy Playmates" going, then?" I think the personal attacks and passive aggressiveness are getting a little out of hand, now. ^Mac Tíre _Cowag 01:24, 25 Toshiaght Arree 2023 (UTC)

• Let me get right to the point. I'm trying to be nice here, but what you're doing here is damaging to the wiki and to the language in general, and there is history for that. I've nothing against porn as a rule, or the notability or otherwise of Playboy Playmates, or female porn stars, but if I click [random page] around 10-15 times, and I get porn stars, that's a problem. What kind of impression do you think this lends itself to the language in general? I may not be prudish, but I'm willing to be that a bunch of Manx parents and teachers are. We literally have primary school kids over on ga.wiki, and they're busy writing articles on notable women. Today, it was an aviator and a suffragette, and I'm doing my best to facilitate them even though they're being kinda messy. And here you are, doing what? I'm just about ready to escalate all this to the WMF, frankly, before this absolute nonsense breaks in the popular press by someone less scrupulous than I am - Alison ^❤ 01:30, 25 Toshiaght Arree 2023 (UTC)

  You have been anything but nice. Constant passive aggressiveness is all I have received from you as of late. An example of you "being nice" would be appreciated! My article creation lately has been primarily focused on 1) astronomy 2) English Wikipedia random articles (on topics I feel I can accurately translate, 3) actors, because they are easy to translate, and 4) sportspeople. It is not Wikipedia's job to promote languages or to bear in mind parental sensitivies. You have attacked me publicly even to the extent of creating a category which included a description which was a personal attack on me. That is not on. If you have an issue, I would appreciate an actual conversation. This thing of personal attacks, passive aggressiveness and then these fly-by digs is not something that is constructive at all. ^Mac Tíre _Cowag 01:48, 25 Toshiaght Arree 2023 (UTC)

• Ok, let's get pragmatic, then. Here's the timeline;

• I've been a regular contributor here for some sixteen years, primarily working on infrastructure.
• I put a major effort into revamping the main page - with agreement / collaboration from you - just last year. I built out the infrastructure to allow you to surface daily dynamic content. So I'm invested in the place, and as a native speaker of another Gaelic language, invested in the promotion of the language too.
• I supported your adminship - twice, plus an extension, so I definitely had faith in you.
• I brought this issue up on the 2nd of September last year in a relatively light-hearted way. Your immediate response was to revert my comment. You changed your mind and the next day, replied with a somewhat snippy, "Point given and taken"
• You then went on a deletion spree the same day.
• Since then, you've pretty much undeleted the bulk of them - almost all. And furthermore, have added more.
• This comment was a slightly stronger, pointy way of bringing this back to your attention. You chose to take it as a personal attack. Ok, fine.
• There are close to 300 female porn stars on here now, including Playboy Playmates. And growing.
• There are a whisker over 6,000 articles on here in mainspace. By my naïve math, 1 in 20 is porn stars.
• Due to whatever algo, randomly selecting articles using the link below the Wikipedia logo on the left, gives you pornstars around ... maybe 10-15 clicks. I was getting 8-9 earlier. Maybe because they have infoboxes and pics, I dunno what weighting they're using.
• I don't care about the notability of these or not. Or the prudishness or otherwise of the audience. But I *do* know from my almost 20 years on multiple wikis, that this is a major problem. It's a major problem because of the optics around it, for one; "News Flash: Manx Wikipedia has 10 times more wank fodder than actual scientists" - some future Daily Mail. Or "The Manx language only cares about porn - it's a joke". And so on. You get the picture.
• It's a hostile environment for female editors, for one. I've given up editing here since finding this out, frankly. My time is on gawiki with schoolkids editing about notable women. And this is a mockery of all the women who are notable that are *not* porn stars, actresses or Playboy Playmates. Where are they in all this?
• Damn right the WMF cares about this. And Manx language advocates will, too. And so will the gutter press. Anything to kick a minority when they're down, in many cases. Just look what happened on sco.wikipedia just a few years back.
• Almost all of this is on you. I've made you aware of it, you've responded multiple times, and now this is my final response and also my documentation of the whole thing.

- Alison ^❤ 02:28, 25 Toshiaght Arree 2023 (UTC)

• And to be clear, I've no interest in "personal attacks", as you see it, or insulting you or whatever. I'm invested in the language and the wiki. We got on well enough in the past before you decided to go down the path you did. None of this is about you - it's about the language - Alison ^❤ 02:30, 25 Toshiaght Arree 2023 (UTC)
