Current administrators

[edit]

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

[edit]

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.

Inductiveload

[edit]
admin since June 2020 and interface admin since August 2021; previously an admin from April 2010 to September 2015 (see previous discussions), currently inactive (contributions · logs · count · crossactivity). Inductiveload will be removed automatically unless a simple majority of established users support continued access.
  •  Oppose both admin and interface admin flags for long inactivity.--Jusjih (talk) 01:08, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral. Inductiveload was one of the most significant and helpful contributors, but he has not been active for more than a year, which is very unfortunate for Wikisource. I know there were various attepmts to contact him but without any response. I do hope he is OK, and I will be happy to change my vote to support at the slightest sign of his renewed activity. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 09:35, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral I'm absolutely with Jan on this, and I and many others have attempted to contact him privately and publicly but have been unsuccessful for well over a year. As a great friend to me, and a great contributor everywhere, I do hope Inductiveload is okay! SnowyCinema (talk) 15:55, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kathleen.wright5

[edit]
admin since August 2008 (see previous discussions), currently active (contributions · logs · count · crossactivity). Kathleen.wright5 will be reconfirmed automatically unless at least three established users oppose, which will trigger a vote of confidence with decision by simple majority.
