Leutha (talk • email • contribs • stats • logs • global account)

I have recently celebrated a year of editing on Wikiversity, although I have been a Wikipedia editor for several years. During that year I have:

Worked with the University of Westminster putting SPIR608 Political Simulations and Gaming on WV
Worked with the University of Westminster and the University of Surrey putting Portal:Simulation and Gaming Archive on WV
Worked on British Empire course design
Developed templates so that the List of Custodians sorts by date order
Promoted WV at the Wikimedia UK Conference:Wiki in the lecture room

I also regularly attend Wikimedia London Meet ups, I am active with Wikmedia GLAM outreach, and I am currently working with Wikimedia UK on a collaborative project with The National Archives

I would also like to see WV develop by working more closely with Wikimedia Outreach on developing Open Educational Resources

I have also been active on Wikieducator and would like to see a closer relationship with them.

I feel becoming a WV Custodian would help me make further useful contributions to WV.Leutha 08:20, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2019 Discussion

User:Leutha was nominated for custodianship at a time when Wikiversity had probationary custodians. Probationary custodianship did not require a community vote, just mentor support. Since that time, the WMF has clarified rights requirements. No one is allowed to have access to deleted content without explicit support of the community.

I initially proposed that Leutha could either self-remove the Custodian flag and be granted Curatorship, or explicitly request a vote on custodianship. There has been no response. Leutha has only posted twice at Wikiversity in the past 23 months.

I am therefore requesting that we officially vote to remove Custodian rights for User:Leutha, without prejudice. If this was a simple bit-flip, I'd flip it. But we need to have community support so we can request Steward action. Please vote below and either support or oppose removal of custodian rights for User:Leutha.

Voting to Remove Custodian Rights

Support as proposer. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 01:01, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support I don't believe Leutha ever used the tools within the last two years! --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 01:19, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support - user is inactive:
- Last edit: December 2018
- Only 5 edits since November 2017
- Last log entry: March 2017
- Only 3 log entries since September 2015
- No prejudice against a future request if the user returns. Thanks, --DannyS712 (discuss • contribs) 01:20, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support it is not safe to leave advanced rights on inactive accounts. Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) ^talk 01:39, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support removal. This is an obvious instance where the tools should be removed. --mikeu ^talk 01:53, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I also have no prejudice regarding a future reapplication and would welcome continued participation in any form. --mikeu ^talk 01:03, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
