I want to be an uploader because I want to upload Chrome screenshots to Wikibooks as fair use for use with Using Chrome book. Xeverything11 (discuss • contribs) 08:41, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

@Xeverything11: Apologies for the delay, but can you not use Chromium instead (which should visually be almost identical to Chrome)? That way, you can upload the screenshots to Commons. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 19:49, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Chromium is not available on iOS and Android yet and I mainly use iPad and Android as my main devices. The standard Chrome is available on iOS and Android. Xeverything11 (discuss • contribs) 10:51, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

@Xeverything11: I'm confused then. The book seems to cater for the desktop version of Chrome, referencing things such as extensions which (to my understanding) do not exist on Android/iOS. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 11:51, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Most of the features in the desktop version of Chrome are also available on Android. Xeverything11 (discuss • contribs) 11:53, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

There are lots of LTAs vandalising pages and this project only has few administrators. More admins are required so I am requesting temporary adminship to help combat LTAs/vandals on pages in articles. The duration will be ~3 months, but can be extended to indefinite if I am confident with these tools. My goals are to protect pages vandalised by LTAs and delete pages that are created by LTAs.

• Not yet. Your edit count here is way too low and your first global edit was only a little more than a month ago (according to your userpage). I may have supported if you had more experience on other wikis, but Special:CentralAuth/Xeverything11 indicates otherwise. --SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 22:21, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

  Also, I'm not comfortable supporting after finding out that Special:Diff/4211481 was your 94th edit on en.wb – edits like those should be left to admins, not to a user whose account was only 4 days old. SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 11:02, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Not yet. I'm a little hesitant for the same reasons as @SHB2000. Additionally, on multiple occasions when I've reached out to you, it's been very difficult to engage you in productive community conversations, despite your high activity. I'm very open to hearing your thoughts and reasoning on issues, but I'm a bit worried you're not open to conversation, and that itself worries me re: admin privileges :/ —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 14:22, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

I will have to agree with the two above opposers, even for temporary adminship. Your account is just over a month old - and while I do not want to oppose because of age, I don't see enough evidence of your understanding of Wikibooks (or Wikimedia) that would justify giving this right (also see WB:ADMIN). At this time, it's a "not yet" from me. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 14:56, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Sorry it’s too late, I would like to upload Chrome screenshots to Wikibooks. I am pinging @Leaderboard. Xeverything11 (discuss • contribs) 11:42, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

@Xeverything11: Done for a week (again, as you did not upload anything the first time). As before, make another request here and ping me if you need it for longer. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 11:51, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

I would like to request for uploader flag. I am creating the Google Workspace wikibook and I want to add screenshots for visual identification. Google screenshots are usually not free, so I would like to upload some Google Workspace-related screenshots locally as fair use. Xeverything11 (discuss • contribs) 19:27, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Done, noting that this user was given uploader for a couple of weeks around end-2022/early-2023. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 08:54, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

I would like to gain adminship and interface adminship temporarily for around 3 months, but this can be extended on request. I need both user rights to optimise protected templates and messages as well as site CSS for dark mode as well as mobile devices. I had to request edit requests to templates and system messages. I have great experience in CSS. Additionally, I also need the admin rights to block vandals, spammers and LTAs and delete test and spam pages, as I am a vandal fighter here and in other wikis.

Thanks. Xeverything11 (discuss • contribs) 20:11, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Opening the discussion here with some comments:

• Overall: I can see that you definitely want to improve Wikibooks, and you're a solid contributor, which is awesome! I have some concerns and questions as outlined below, but I don't want to gatekeep excessively, especially on a small project.
• Temporary administrator: Having administrator rights is a lot of responsibility. Per policy, the basic requirement is to be a well-known and trusted member of the community who is familiar with all other applicable policies. One of the big things I would want in an admin is good communication skills, and I think my main hesitation with you and full administrator rights is some continued challenges I see with communication and discussion. For example, I still regularly have a hard time engaging in discussion with you on your talk page, as I have in the past. I might be open to granting temp adminship as a trial but only for specific tasks (per temp admin policy) such as editing protected templates as described. Would love to hear others' thoughts in this respect.
• Interface administrator: I'm very hesitant to grant this right casually since interface administrators have a lot of control over the project. My immediate instinct is that I wouldn't want to grant interface administrator rights to someone unless they have been a trusted administrator for a while. Pinging @Leaderboard and @JackPotte as our current interface admins.
• Questions:
  • What protected templates etc. are you trying to optimize? I think laying out a list (maybe not here due to potential clutter issues) would be helpful so we can get a better idea of the scope of what you're trying to do.

Cheers! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 15:46, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Since it's been a little while without you addressing the communication issues despite the opportunity here and below, I'm going to have to change my vote to Oppose. This in itself is a bit representative of my concerns. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 22:14, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

@JJPMaster, @Kittycataclysm, @Leaderboard: I would like to withdraw this request as I am now focusing on other Wikimedia wikis, such as Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons and English Wikipedia, but I could return here later. Thanks Xeverything11 (discuss • contribs) 14:42, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

@Xeverything11 I'd particularly like you to comment on the communication challenges. You were blocked on the Simple English Wikipedia for concerns that could apply here as well. It appears to me that you've improved since then, but this is still an important aspect irrespective of what we give you temporary adminship for. Regarding interface admin, if they can be trusted for adminship, they should be able to go for interface-admin too - after all, they used to be part of admin. My only concern is not that they have power, but that one mistake can screw up the entire project, and hence I was looking for some evidence of requesting assistance on WB:AA. On that basis there is some, but not that much. I also agree with Kittycataclysm that we need some idea on what protected templates you want to work on.

Weak oppose Although you are requesting temporary adminship, it appears that you aren't proposing any limits on your adminship (e.g. can only use features X, Y, Z). This is contrary to our policy on temporary administrators. I would be more likely to support if you struck the part about blocking LTAs, and specifically stated the limits outside of which you could not use administrative powers. I do also agree with the above concerns about accountability. JJP_Master (she/they) 17:17, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

@JJPMaster, @Kittycataclysm and @Leaderboard: Thank you for your feedback! Per feedback, I will strike out the parts about interface adminship and blocking. Xeverything11 (discuss • contribs) 18:03, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

I am stating that I will only use adminship rights for optimising protected templates and related pages for dark mode. Xeverything11 (discuss • contribs) 18:11, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

List of templates I plan to optimise for dark mode:

• Template:User
• Template:Admin
• Template:Userlinks
• Template:Anonlinks
• Template:Unblock
• Template:Unblock reviewed
• Template:Unblock-auto
• Template:Checkuserblock
• Template:User committed identity
• Template:Talkback

and numerous others. Thanks! Xeverything11 (discuss • contribs) 19:45, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

@Xeverything11 I am still looking for an answer regarding the communication challenges mentioned earlier. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 01:21, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
