Wikiversity:Candidates for Custodianship

From Wikiversity

Instructions

Please add your request for custodianship below. Include a short summary of why you think you should be given the privileges and please refer to your involvement in other Wikimedia projects. If you have sysop/bureaucrat status at a sister project, please indicate so as well.

In a wiki, trust arises from good editing of webpages and "good editing" is what advances the project. If you have a record of good editing then you are likely to be trusted and be granted the tools to protect pages from vandalism and block vandals and delete useless pages. Having those tools really just means you have to do more work - dull and boring work - for the community.

Please place candidate requests or nominations on a subpage and transclude it here.

Hello, everyone. Per the call listed at WV:NOTICE, I am running for custodianship. Here is what I plan to do with my new custodian abilities:

  • Block vandals, spammers, and LTAs; on the other hand, I would unblock users if there are potential false positives from the abuse filter.
  • Delete and view deleted content, and possibly restore if there is consensus.
  • Manage abuse filters for maintenance and fixes.
  • Modify the user interface for dark mode support (although I am running for interface administrator, that is mostly used for CSS changes, such as moving that code to TemplateStyles)

Currently, I'm a sysop on English Wikibooks, English Wikiquote, and Meta-Wiki, so I am familiar with the administrator toolkit. I have been a curator since March-April of this year. I'm willing to serve as a probationary custodian for a period of four weeks, and when it's time, I will run for permanent custodianship. Thank you for considering me.

Hello everyone! I am submitting my request for temporary custodianship for 4 weeks following the recent notice seeking additional custodians. I believe I can contribute positively to the project.

If granted the tools, I would be able to block LTAs and spambots, who may try to disrupt the project. I already have curator rights, but they do not allow me to block users. I would also be able to undelete pages in order to help with the undeletion requests.

I already have experience working with advanced permissions on Wikiquote, where I am an administrator, so I am familiar with the responsibilities and expectations that come with administrator access. I understand the importance of using the tools carefully, and only when necessary.

Thanks for considering me :)
