Administrators

Current administrators

Administrators are given access for one year per the Restricted access policy. Regular votes are held to confirm each user's status. Other languages indicate the areas in which the administrators might be able to converse with outside project members, or help provide public domain translations.

Confirmation discussions

Restricted access depends on the continued support of the community. This may be tested by a vote of confidence, in which a simple majority (50%+1) must support the user's continued access for it to be retained. (What access a discussion concerns should be explicitly noted in the discussion's introduction.) Any user may propose a vote of confidence, but at least three established users must support the need for one before it can be called. Such a proposal is made automatically one year after the last scheduled or called proposal (concerning all restricted access).

In the case of an unscheduled (called) proposal, the user may not use the restricted access for any non-trivial action at any time until the vote is closed. A bureaucrat will eventually archive the discussion and, if so decided, request removal of restricted access by a steward.

Beeswaxcandle

admin since May 2011; bureaucrat since January 2021 (see previous discussions), currently active (contributions · logs · count · crossactivity). Beeswaxcandle will be reconfirmed automatically unless at least three established users oppose, which will trigger a vote of confidence with decision by simple majority.

Hesperian

admin since January 2008 (see previous discussions), currently inactive (contributions · logs · count · crossactivity). Hesperian will be removed automatically unless a simple majority of established users support continued access.

Oppose for no activity after 2024-07-23 here.--Jusjih (talk) 17:50, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for inactivity, but hope for a return. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:54, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral. Last activity on English Wikipedia was a random keep vote in a deletion discussion on 2025-01-12 05:53, according to CrossActivity, so at this point a return is plausible. Of course, I'd love to see them return regardless. SnowyCinema (talk) 00:43, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for inactivity, and thanks for the long service. — Alien 3

Comment Thanks for the long service too. Hope you return... --Jan Kameníček (talk) 13:34, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
