Wikiversity:Custodian requests

From Wikiversity

This page is for custodians who request a change in their sysop status. Probationary custodians can ask to be removed from the custodian ranks at any time. Probationary custodians can request that a bureaucrat make them a permanent custodian. When a probationary custodian has completed the one month probationary period and the five day community comment period is complete, a bureaucrat will make the final decision based on the arguments provided in the discussion. If a probationary custodian is not approved as a permanent custodian within 10 days, the probationary custodian can request another one month mentorship.

[edit] Requests

Custodians can make their requests here. Newer requests at the bottom, please.

Vicmiclovich (talk | email | contribs | stats) Hi OpenSource lovers! I am here to kindly request the role of custodian... I have been using wiki-related services for about 5 years. I have at my disposal many papers that I have written from my research that have piled up. I haven't had the nerve to publish my papers until now. I hope Wikiversity will give me a chance.

I am always online, participating in various collaborative projects and I feel I want to be a part of what's going on at Wikiversity! I hope this plea of mine will be granted. Thank you. Vicmiclovich 11:06, 15 July 2008 (UTC)Victor

Hi Victor, Sounds like we could really do with you around here! Lots of possibilities. Custodianship I would think sounds very much within your grasp, but you would be well advised I think to plough ahead with editing, develop your user page, build your edit history, participate, create some learning resources, and start publishing your papers (we really need more of this!). And delve into Wikiversity, what it is, how it works, etc. This will help you to get to know the place while it gets to know you :). Then you would be well placed, I imagine, for custodianship. That could all happen quite fast, depending on you. We want custodians, but we are also wary of those who seek for fast 'status' without first some dedicated local apprenticeship. See Custodian and How to be a Wikimedia sysop for some more ideas. Also, feel free to discuss anything you like also at the Colloquium. Look forward to seeing you around. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 12:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and when you want to nominate (or when someone nominates you) for Probationary Custodianship, it goes here: Wikiversity:Candidates for Custodianship. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 12:32, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requests that have been acted on

[edit] Mirwin

Mirwin (talk | email | contribs | stats) I request adminship and sysop status. I was an early administrator on English Wikipedia[1][[2] until nonparticipation triggered reversion to regular user status. As http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Lazyquasar at Wikibooks for the express purpose of participating with Wikiversity, I have been active in discussion and debate regarding Wikiversity on all applicable sites and the foundation mailing list. I have contributed a fair bit to the Engineering section at the Wikibooks prototype. I intend to be doing a fair amount of work with Wikiversity and feel I can be an efficient and fair administrator. I also have some interest in seeing Wikimedia ported to Java and interfaced to some distributed technologies. I owned/operated a computer consultanting firm for eight years and have a clear understanding of "first do no harm" when given access to mission critical servers. As owner it was my responsibility to train the systems analysts I dispatched to client site in the art of doing no harm that could not be repaired or recovered efficiently. --Mirwin

Support - Michael has been a very long-time supporter of Wikiversity during much of the phase while this project was before the WMF board of trustees, and has helped contribute a major portion of the content that is already here on this project as well even before en.wikiversity became live. I would love to see him become the first "official" admin (not done on a temp basis just to get thing going). He certainly understands the mission of Wikiversity and wants to make some very meaningful contributions, and would be very useful for the vandalism patrol as well. --Robert Horning 13:38, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I no longer require custodialship, please put me on the list to be stripped of this responsibility at earliest opportunity. I will be limiting my participation for a while to tutoring algebra if my nephew or other people need it from Robert's Algegra Environment. Thanks! Mirwin 06:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
