Custodian
Congratulations! You are now a Wikiversity custodian. I'm sure you're familiar with the tools. Please add yourself to Staff and regularly monitor Request custodian action and Notices for custodians. Let us know whenever you have any questions. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 13:46, 2 November 2019 (UTC) Thank you for moving the discussion of Location Hypotheses of Atlantis. When, where and how may I start with moving the Location Hypotheses of Atlantis out of Draft? thanks again!

Faendalimas,

Congratulations on your achieving custodian status. I look forward to working with you!

thankless job
Helping to develop policy is often a tedious and underappreciated effot. I would like to thank you for your work on the CU policy and encourage you to continue these helpful contributions to our project. We greatly appreciate your efforts to improve our site and we want you to know that we value the thought and care that you have demonstrated in our community discussions. Congratulations on your recent custodianship! I'm confident that your participation will improve wikiversity. --mikeu talk 06:52, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thankyou its all cool, it is pretty much the same everywhere. How long do you wish to leave this policy up? It seems to have been accepted. Cheers Scott Thomson  ( Faendalimas ) talk 06:56, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Usually I would close a discussion like this as SNOW as it is obvious that there is very strong support and little chance of substantive objection. Given that CU is a more serious consideration than most routine proposals that we discuss I'd like to leave it open for a little longer than we typically would. This is merely to ensure that the process is not rushed and to provide time for infrequent contributors to participate, should they choose. --mikeu talk 07:24, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Two weeks is generally a good amount of time for such proposals. This would be about 7 November to hit that point, it could go a little longer though. I would suggest that if you plan on seeing if we can get local checkusers it may be worth applying for those as soon as the policy is in place, while its fresh. Yourself and Dave are going to need to mass mail the members, carefully of course, however if Justin and I apply as some seem to want us to we cannot be involved in that as it would be seen as canvassing. Do not be surpised if some Stewards and Global Sysops cast votes in a vote like that. Cheers Scott Thomson  ( Faendalimas ) talk 07:28, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

I must change this for ALL of you. A sincere thank you to everyone who is working to make Wikiversity possible. May this site provide a research home for all of those who need one and may the research create breakthroughs and advancement in many subjects that would not have been possible without Wikiversity.

Thank you all once again!

 * I closed the CU discussion because the rate of new comments had slowed down considerably. It didn't look like we'd reached the criteria in a reasonable amount of time. Thank you again for working on the policy. That framework will be important as the community grows. Perhaps we'll reach a threshold where participation in these discussions is sufficient to reach the requirements. --mikeu talk 19:41, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes perfectly reasonable to close at this point. I am not worried about it. You have a policy in place now thats the important thing. Local CU´s can wait for now. Cheers  Scott Thomson  ( Faendalimas ) talk 14:57, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Wikiversity:Requests for CheckUser
Please review: Requests for CheckUser. Do you have any suggestions for adding instructions to this page? Not that we need to anytime soon, as it will likely take quite a bit of time before we need it. --mikeu talk 05:38, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * yeah there is quite a bit needed in that page, it works better if its a form. This is the Wikispecies one here it has to explain the various definitions etc we use for everyone. I will put it together if we end up needing it if you like. I figured it would be easier to determine if we will have local checkusers first. Cheers Scott Thomson  ( Faendalimas ) talk 06:29, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'd wait until there are about a dozen or so supports. Also, I archived the old page to the talk. --mikeu talk 21:17, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Activity Review
Wikiversity has adopted a policy that expects users with administrative rights to be active participants and to regularly use those rights (at least five edits and five actions within the last 12 months). It appears that you are no longer active at Wikiversity and do not currently have a need for administrative rights.

If you would prefer to retain your administrative role, please rejoin us with your contributions and support. If your account remains inactive, we will need to request that stewards remove your administrative rights. Let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for your previous efforts on our behalf.

 * Hi, sorry I have been very busy and somewhat limited in my involvement in local wikis as I have spent the last 2 years on the Ombuds Commission for WMF. This year I am Chair of the OC. If you feel it necessary to remove these rights this is fair enough. I shall leave it to you. I have watched the pages but am as I said both limited to a degree and very busy for direct involvement. Thanks for the message. Cheers Scott Thomson  ( Faendalimas ) talk 15:51, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the update. We have run into issues where we claim to be a small wiki in need of SWMT support, but they see our staff list and ask why.
 * It would be without prejudice. You are welcome to request administrative rights again when you have time and use for them.
 * Thanks!
