Bureaucrat
You have been promoted to a bureaucrat on this wiki. I encourage sysopping users who show a bit of sanity and desire to help out, while maintaining your good supply of Clue. robchurch | talk 13:15, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Sysop request
(Related to the precedent, message :)

I want to locallise the links that are on the sidebar (since the text is localised) or doing some cleanup (RC patrol, ...) on this wiki, so i don't know if I could be a sysop here (I am already sysop on the french Wikipedia). i Alex  17:48, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 17:53, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot. i Alex  17:53, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Rename request
Please change my username from Jclerner to Jlerner, then it'll be consistent with en and meta, thanks! Jclerner 00:54, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Rename request
Hi Simetrical! Could you please rename User:CommonsDelinker to something else and then User:CommonsDelinker2 to User:CommonsDelinker? I am one of the operators of CommonsDelinker. Apparently something went wrong when the account was created and the password is unknown to any of us. Thanks, Bryan Tong Minh 17:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. You may want to set an e-mail address, for the future (unless you forgot that too). —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 18:22, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks, Bryan Tong Minh 11:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

+sysop request
Could I get +sysop on this wiki? Looking to do some maintenance work around here (deprecating Template:click, etc.). I'm +sysop on en.wiki ( verify ) and I have a pretty good knowledge of MediaWiki. Thanks! --MZMcBride 06:29, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 17:18, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks again! --MZMcBride 19:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

System Operator Request
User_talk:Robchurch. -PatPeter,  MediaWiki Support Team  20:56, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, hmm. I don't know you, so I looked over some of your contributions.  Your attempts to give support are nice, although they're not always correct.  I have to say I'm kind of wondering about calling something the "MediaWiki Support Team" (implying officiality) when that group doesn't in fact contain a single developer of MediaWiki, and doesn't mention any discussion with or authorization by the developers.  So I'm wondering if that name is maybe a bit misleading.  I also find it slightly odd that you gave a "welcome to MediaWiki" greeting to someone who's been a developer of MediaWiki for a year and a half, a member of mediawiki.org for two and a half years, and a sysop here for one year.  I can't help but wonder, in terms of understanding MediaWiki and the community surrounding it, if you'd maybe benefit from more exposure to the channels that developers use, i.e., IRC and wikitech-l, before being given official endorsement as a sysop. Aside from all that, you didn't actually specify any reason that you need to be a sysop.  I don't notice any significant number of vandals that need to be blocked or anything that needs to be deleted or protected.  Even if there were such things, we appear to have 33 sysops here already, and at any given time it's virtually certain that a few will be available for contact in #mediawiki should anyone come across a problem.  So for the present time, I'm not inclined to grant your request. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 00:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I suppose I was thinking the same thing about this. Aaron 08:22, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
