Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
Shortcut:
WM:RFH
Meta-Wiki has a small active community. When a normal user requires the assistance of an administrator or bureaucrat for some particular task, it is not always easy to find one. This page helps users find one when they need one; asking specific admins directly via their talk pages is one way to elicit a fast response. It is only for assistance required at Meta-Wiki, help for other wikis needs to be requested at those wikis.

Request for Organizer Rights: Taoheedah[edit]

Global user: Taoheedah


Reason for Request: I would like to use the Event tool for better coordination of the Wikimedia projects I am applying for.

Criteria Met:

No active blocks: No

Global edits: 7,755

Additional Criteria: I am a certified Wikimedia project organizer who participated in the Organizer Lab V2 and I have just applied for a Project. Taoheedah (talk) 09:55, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold, waiting for a second opinion from another sysop/bureaucrat. Although the policy requires that user have not an active block on the wiki for which they are requesting the right, I usually tend to be sure that their work is constructive and appropriate.
@Taoheedah You have been recently blocked on yo.wiki. Could you please give some information and can you also confirm that you will abide to all meta.wiki policies and guidelines? Thanks a lot. --M/ (talk) 10:56, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was blocked due to subjective views and sentiments on the yo.wiki. I have never disrupted any of the Wikimedia projects Infact rather than that I had Co-Facilitated Wiki and Health articles in Nigeria , Wikimedia Promotion in Akure, Wikimedia Awareness in Ogbomosho, Wikimedia promotion in Lead city university. I also confirm that I will abide by meta-wiki policies and guidelines. Taoheedah (talk) 11:39, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Aditional context : Just to provide insight since there was a reference to my Sysop action against this user on their homewiki. This user was blocked for disruptive editing and harassment. We are in the process of reviewing their entire contributions on Yowiki to understand the level of damage they had done to mainspace articles, fix those that could be fixed, and nuke articles they had created entirely with machines. I generally think that this user should never be allowed to lead events, especially those that involve building capacity for others, as they need training themselves. Please let me know if you need additional information. T CellsTalk 14:46, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @M7, The major reason I needed the Event tool was that I meet the criteria as I am a certified Wikimedia project organizer who participated in the Organizer Lab V2 where I was well trained on Leading events[2]. @T Cells comments are restricted to the yo.wiki. Furthermore, his allegations are untrue as I already requested the intervention of other yo.wiki administrators, the Blocking was done as a result of sentiments and biases on his part. Taoheedah (talk) 15:05, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This is unfair from your end @T Cells.You are currently blocked on English Wikipedia yourself https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/T_Cells after several disruptive edits on English Wikipedia for many years yet you edit on Yoruba Wikimedia where you are able to blossom.
    If the Wikimedia Foundation has been this biased then probably you won't be championing some projects now.
    I feel the issue on the yo.wikipedia should be resolved while @Taoheedah should be granted the right to organize events related to English Wikipedia.
    Personally, I have worked with her on several projects and I can testify to her project management skills especially on English Wikipedia, Wiki quotes and many other wikis Tesleemah (talk) 15:19, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you @Tesleemah, I find it shocking that @T Cells keep tracing my movements on the Wiki space after several threats and abuse of power on the yo.Wiki. Taoheedah (talk) 15:21, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
