RfP scheduled to end after 7 February 2020 20:21 (UTC)
- Mike Peel (talk • contribs • new items • new lexemes • SUL • Block log • User rights log • User rights • xtools)
I'm requesting admin access primarily so that I can view deleted items that were created by Pi bot, or were previously used by the Wikidata infobox on Commons, to better understand what went wrong. I would also be active at Wikidata:Requests for deletions, and would keep an eye out for requests for undeletion.
As background, I've been a Wikimedian since 2005, and I've been editing here since 2016. I'm coming up to 240,000 edits globally, and around 90,000 edits here, plus 3.9m edits globally and 1.9m edits here via Pi bot. I currently have admin access on both enwp and commons. My main focus is on content creation and correction, and cross-wiki editing, I am not so active with anti-vandalism or issuing blocks.
Thanks for your consideration. Mike Peel (talk) 20:21, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]
- You are an experienced user, so I think there wouldn't be any concerns if you're granted the flag, but for me, your "main" motivation to be an administrator is to check what went wrong with your bot, but you say you would do other tasks as well. Note that I don't find that bad, in fact, as Wikidata is kind of a technical proyect, fixing issues is useful. But let's suppose that you become an admin and you're done with your bot issue. Do you think you would still have motiviation, or would want to continue serving as an admin? Thanks in advance, Esteban16 (talk) 03:17, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

RfP scheduled to end after 15 February 2020 14:44 (UTC)
- Nomen ad hoc (talk • contribs • new items • new lexemes • SUL • Block log • User rights log • User rights • xtools)
Hi,
an active user on Wikidata for now several years (where I tot up around 250.000 contribs), I've focused on basic tasks such as creating items (and merging duplicates), adding statements and descriptions and bringing references; I also enjoy participating on property proposals. I became a regular reader of the project chat and now try to keep an eye on the community's issues, expectations projects; hence I would like to involve myself a bit more, and be more helpful. I would use the sysop tools mainly to delete/undelete RfDed items, and fight vandalism by SPing targeted items and blocking vandals (IMHO, one more sysop out the current 55 ones wouldn't be too much to protect our 76.000.000 items...); of course I would also make a relevant use of other tools for the occasion. Thank you all, Nomen ad hoc (talk) 14:44, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Candidate was blocked in 2017 for edit warring
- Candidate was blocked in 2018 for making personal attacks
- Add on the fact that the candidate has just come back from a wiki-break, I would want to see another year of careful and less antagonistic participation in Wikimedia projects before endorsing him as an administrator. Deryck Chan (talk) 17:14, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- You have received a one week block for a privacy violation a couple of years ago. My impression is that this block is related to a latent long-term conflict that is still not really resolved, and some of your activity in this case looks concerning to me. How do you think about this case? Could you stay away from the other editor, both in editor and potential admin role? —MisterSynergy (talk) 23:42, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi. I regret this behaviour, have paid for that, and am now extremely careful of BLP policy. I consider this conflict as resolved, as the other party no more tried to interact with me. And of course, as a potential sysop, I would never ever be judge and jury. Nomen ad hoc (talk) 09:31, 14 February 2020 (UTC).[reply]
- The user has also been blocked multiple times on French Wikipedia for "attaques personnelles ou insultes" (english: personal attacks or insults). Not mention this in your introduction, makes it look like you trying to hide it. - Premeditated (talk) 20:24, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi. Why does it make . I'm not trying to hide anything; it's just unrelated with Wikidata as said below. But to elaborate a bit: I was young and impulsive, but I've matured and focused on constructive and friendly interactions on the projects; regarding the specific case of WP, I also got some distance from WP, hence I also would like to involve more myself on WD community activity.

- I agree with Jura on this one. Ayack (talk) 18:24, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very pleased to present DannyS712 to the community for consideration as an administrator. DannyS712 has been active since April 2019 and made 150k+ edits in that time. I have noticed that Danny is doing good work in the counter-vandalism related areas, where admin tools can help them. Other than that they also seems to active at WD:RFD, at which more hands are very much needed. Danny is also engaged in property proposals and is a property creator since August 2019.
According to their meta userpage they are multilingual (en-N, he-2, es-2, zh-2) and already sysop at English Wikiversity and Mediawiki, so can be trusted with sysop toolset here. In addition Danny is highly experienced, trustworthy, responsible, and knows when to act and when to stop and ask for input.

Hi, I am an active contributor since February 2013 and I have more that 570,000 contributions on Wikidata. I am also a property creator since August 2013. During this time I work mostly on the heritage buildings of Canada and United States. I am also an admin on frwiki since 2015 (my RfA).
The reason I want to be an administrator is mostly to help on the French Wikimedia Community Discord when they have an alert. I am also planning to check regularly the requests for deletions page.

Comments[edit]
- Wikidata needs administrators, but your argument puzzles me. Are you talking about [3]? If so, this channel cannot be used as a single criterion of an application as administrator. Your number of contributions indicates to me to write beforehand here before issuing an opinion. I need more "substance". —Eihel (talk) 19:45, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes I was talking about this Discord Channel. I don't think I will be really active un the Administrator noticeboard, since I am not really active on this point on frwiki. On frwiki I use most my admin right for Speedy delete, renaming and masking some copyright violations, so I don't thing this will be to much difference here. --Fralambert (talk) 20:09, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- @Deryck Chan: Exactly, no.

RfP scheduled to end after 7 March 2020 22:29 (UTC)
- Kostas20142 (talk • contribs • new items • new lexemes • SUL • Block log • User rights log • User rights • xtools)
Hello, I am Kostas20142. I am a native Greek and near-native Engish.
My main activities in Wikidata are improving already-existing items, anti-vandalism, WD:RFD. I have also been using petscan and lately quickstatements to create items for elwiki/enwiki articles with no item and to add missing statements.
I am also an ACC interface user on enwiki, temporary sysop on elwikiquote, and generally involved in crosswiki counter-vandalism.
Should this request be successful, I intend to use the permissions to delete spam items/items not meeting the notability policy, handle WD:RFD and WD:AN requests, counter-vandalism purposes and perform revdel when needed - being able to do these is the reason I am filing this request.
Disclosure: You can find my previous, unsuccessful request here. I have 3 alternative accounts; Kostantinos20142 (doppelganger), Kostas20142 (alt) (for insecure connection; never needed to use so far) and Kostas20142-Bot (for semi-automated edits in elwikiquote).
I have read carefully and understood the relevant policies. Thanks for your consideration!--Kostas20142 (talk) 22:29, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am Houcemeddine Turki from Tunisia.

I was admin from 19 September 2018, after a successful self nomination until 4 July 2019, when my admin rights were removed (See message by @Rschen7754:) due to inactivity per WD:A, when I was very busy working IRL. I have been very active again on various projects since December, and was granted Rollbacker on Wikidata, so I could use Huggle again, being busy the last week protecting Wikidata, but I see a need of being able to stop Vandals faster, and help in other ways. I would be active with anti-vandalism and issuing blocks, like in the past, and also be active at Wikidata:Requests for deletions. Id be happy to increase fighting against vandalism on Wikidata in my native language Swedish, as well as Norwegian, Danish, German and English. I currently have admin access on Wikispecies since 2004, and have experience of adminship from other projects.

- Could you explain why you are blocked on sv.wikipedia until June 2? --Rschen7754 06:10, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- There may be different views on that, my view is Im not satisfied with how admins work, and how they respect and protect NPOV on sv.wikipedia, where I am the oldest contributor, was the first admin, and feel responsible about its development, see history of en:Swedish_Wikipedia. I was blocked after I brought the subject of an admin aubusing the Wikipedia Policy and NPOV rules (diff before they removed this) , after this they close that page forany edits by me, and later blocked me for two weeks. A sad story, I can only say it doesnt affect my work on Wikidata, and ~I have no history of problems with users on other wikis, except for this small group of people and admins on svwiki, who have a history of blocking me, and trying to make me look like someone who try to do bad, while im always asking for everyone to follow Policy and rules, abd respect the five pillars, and not abuse "konsensus" as a way to work around the rules. The people who blocked me, gave other official reasons, like I should have broken the rules for en:Wikipedia:Etiquette. Dan Koehl (talk) 08:02, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was pinged to this discussion by Anhn (talk • contribs • logs), however I think it would have been fair if Dan himself had pinged me when writing and linking to pages about me. I have dona almost 2800 edits on WD, but are not very active. So, although Dan did start a KAW, mentioned by him and Anhn, about me he himself writes on his user page "Likväl ger jag dig respekt, att du för en sansad diskussion med mig i sakfrågan, istället för att masshysteriskt tävla i hat mot min person..." (Anyhow, I give you respect, that you do discuss in a good manner about the subject, instead of a mass hysteric competition in hate aganist my person...". This means he knows I am trying to be neutral and for the best of the wiki-comunities. I know he has done a lot of good contributions here and on svwp and enwp (and other projects too). However, when things are not going his way or someone dares to oppose what he says (like in the above mentioned discussion, which gave me my first blockage ever) he seems to try to scare the opponent instead of showing relevant sources. That is not a good thing to do as an admin. He was not blocked because of the POV he did (explained by Anhn) but his way of discussing. Last time, the one year block, was done after he called an admin on svwp "mentally ill" both on svwp and on facebook. That was totally out of our policies on svwp, and with the new policy from Wikimedia that would giva a blockage on every wiki I know of. I am also concerned about the POV Anhn mentions, and that he might do the same kind of pov here on wikidata, which will affect som many more wikipedias than only the Swedish, and then have more "power" as an admin if someone tells him he is wrong. therefor I am strongly opposing this user as an admin.

- this RfP is not linked anywhere on svwiki.Yger (talk) 05:27, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Im sorry this conflict is infecting Wikidata, on aplace where it doesnt belong, its of course not my wish. I prefer not to comment personal accusations against me, except for when theres factual errors, above was stated "where Koehl made several edits arguing against AGW in a very POV:ish manner referring to cherry-picked non-scientific or non-official sources." which is not true, what I contributed was not my own opinion of course, but I submitted a sourced opinion from sv:Gösta Walin, one of Swedens best known climate experts, and professor in Oceanograpgy, and the admin Advile removed 1, and removed 2 sourced edits, based on his private opinion that the professor is not an expert, although he has been interviewed in climate related issues since over 40 years, and is still on Wikidata referred to as climate expert. The admin Adville also moved the page about Gösta Walin, from having header climate researchers for 13 years!to oceanograph. Being accused of cherry picking, etc, I can only defend myself with the Policy and rules for Wikipedia, which clearly says admins should not act like this, thats why I asked for an investigation, but instead I got blocked, and [I brought the subject of an admin aubusing the Wikipedia Policy and NPOV rules (diff before they removed this) my request was removed]. Dan Koehl (talk) 08:01, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- See also my request on Meta for investigation after I was blocked ONE YEAR in 2017, without a single diff to prove my "crime", only an admin fabricated "consensus" that I had broken rules. The en:Swedish Wikipedia is becoming a forked project, where Policy and rules are not followed, and a group of admins have hijacked the entire process of justice. Even Swedish burocrat user:Ternarius, refer to the present as a modern witch-hunt (modern häxprocess). Dan Koehl (talk) 08:16, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Regarding "mentally ill" you have deleted all diffs, what I actually did, was exactly citing what the admin has written on his user page, when I questioned if its really OK for a person who wasnt even admin for a year, to block en:Swedish Wikipedia longest time user. For this I was blocked a year.Dan Koehl (talk) 08:20, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- DK:s use of sources in "Koldioxid" has been discussed here and here, but obviously this has not convinced DK.

- In our discussion this year we were very careful not to mention or bring upp this incident. And feedback with diffs were given~back then. Yger (talk) 08:24, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Admins breaking the rules of rollbacking, when removing my request of following NPOV in a climate related project, or removing my sourced edit, motivated only by his personal opinion (is an admins personalopinion a stronger argument on svwiki, than a sourced, verified edit?), is not very convincing. Wikipedia is not about convince anyone, its about follow the NPOV and in articles supplying different opinions, in controversial issues. I am convinced that Swedish Wikipedia is becoming a fork, where admins bias articles according to their political view, and block users who try to keep NPOV. This is a against the Wikipedia Policy. Dan Koehl (talk) 08:46, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I want to to make it clear, that I have not brought any discussions here, as was claimed by @Anhn:. I have just reapplied for adminship, and I have truthfully answered @Rschen7754:, question above, thats all. But I guess I have the right to defend myself against different kind of very personal accusations? Dan Koehl (talk) 10:06, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think it is good that the problems we have had on svwp is shown here, because what happens here will affect svwp and other projects too. About my reverting Gösta Wallin and what he said: as you see here did delete two sources Dan used. Skeptical science and klimatsans. both are bloggs... that is not good sources in sinetific articles. klimatsans is a political sceptical page. I Also moved Göstas page to what is his main reason for having an article: He is a professor. That he has a private interest in climate is not the reason he got an article, I guess. I also told Dan that he is fine to use as a source, if Dan could find a peer-reviewd article about the subject. Instead he adrgued he had to use this kind of articles. Here I see a danger on wikidata: Will he use this kind of articles as sources here?
And about Ygers rollback of Dan: That happened when he posted that text on several pages, spreading the discussion everywhere. That is not the correct way of doing it, it more looked like a way to get diffs to be able to use for example here (if someone swollowed the bate and reverted him). He succeeded with that and was able to show "svwp dös everything to hunt him". That is not true. Now I hope to not write any more here. Adville (talk) 12:02, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I can not find one single example or diff, mentioned above, on how I should have abused my admin rights, or as user, have acted with a bias on Wikidata. Would it be too much to ask, to give some examples as to what negative impact my Adminship on Wikidata has been in the past? Or, at least one single example? Dan Koehl (talk) 12:19, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I am horrified of how Dan Koehl is portraying Yger and Adville. I guess I haven't been active enough on this Wiki-project to cast a vote, but I want to state that I think Dan Koehl would be inappropriate as an administrator. Based on my experience, I would never be able to trust the user with using the tools accordingly. The user has an aggressive style of conducting discussion, where consensus is cast aside for conflict and confrontation, and doing so with a strong inclination for a bullying/mastering attitude. Dnm (talk) 18:08, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I can only repeat: Even Swedish Burocrat User:Ternarius, refer to the present as a modern witch-hunt (modern häxprocess). And after I wrote that above, the Crat was challenged by one of the users above, but confirmed here. I wish my Swedish fellow users would give the en:Swedish Wikipedia a better reputation than exposing how its working over there. BTW, since this application is destroyed, and has become a a modern witch-hunt, if anyone is interested WHY I was blocked in 2017, it was because I marked files which lacked a factbox with this template, so I could submit factbox later (which I did), something I had done (and many other users) for several years before... Its a normal template corresponding to sv:Faktamall saknas which is presently used on thousand of pages by users who, for some reason hasnt been blocked for this. So reading the text "using the tools accordingly, when admins on the Swedish wiki are using their very personal interpretation of how to use the tools "accordingly", like when sv wikis longest serving user asked for an investigation of eventual admin abuse on the proper place, this request (which Ahn above refer to as which got no support by any kind) was removed (how can a removed request get support?), and I got blocked, by another admin, who was directly involved in the articles that I argue are POV and APOV, Dan Koehl (talk) 19:03, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- This appeal for authority (being the first, and therefore longest, user on svwiki - used already 3 times only on this page) giving him exclusive rights on how to interpret the policies, is a repeating pattern from svwiki, and why I am afraid giving him more powers. If he do get the rights we need to keep an extra eye for him deleting items, claims or sources related to the United Nations (Q1065) or Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Q171183) which he claims to both be spreading propaganda (or for that matter in any other way hindering Wikidatians from adding verifiable information to the project).

The "request for investigation of eventual admin abuse" can be found here at WP:KAW (now archived). Duplicated entries at other places have been removed. It can be clearly seen in the final conclusion part that the claims that Adville should have acted "POV-ish" got no support by any kind. The discussion was initiated 2020-05-16. Last edit was 2020-05-20, and the thread was archived by a robot 2020-05-27. The page WP:KAW got 4 940 views during these 5 days which can be compared with e.g. 2 062 views for the preceding 15 days. This shows that the WP:KAW-request has been well exposed to a large audience. The WP:KAW-request was _NOT_ removed, but duplicated postings at other places were removed. Here I have told DK _not_ to duplicate discussions which creates fatigue and confusion among other wikipedians. / Anhn (talk) 20:32, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Dan Koehl recently announced this nomination on Wikispecies where he accuses users from Swedish Wikipedia of a "solicited attack". Abbe98 (talk) 20:45, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes he did and it did concern me this may be construed as canvassing, and I have commented there that I found it a little strange that suddenly people from the SW WP are attempting to vote here who do not have voting rights here, it has been mentioned here and their that there may be some canvasing going on, I leave it to admins here to make that decision. However, I did try to be clear that I was basing my support vote only on what I have seen at Wikispecies and Wikidata. I acknowledged the reports from SW WP noting I was previously unaware of them. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 20:57, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Faendalimas:, They communicate with IRC, and will send another one with a no-vote, in order to secure lass than 75% votes for yes. See also the previous successful nomination Dan Koehl (talk) 00:22, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Conclusion[edit]
This RfP has been disturbed by canvassing as well as importing issues from sister projects. This is not an example on how RfP's here should be done. Having said that, with 9 oppose votes plus 1 "wait leaning to oppose" vote out of 32 votes, we cannot conclude different from this RfP being unsuccessful.

Dears, I was a sysop for a while, but I resigned due to lack of availability. During the time I worked (in the last update), I was the 5th sysop with the most admin actions (among 58). As (for a few days) more than six months have passed since my last action, I need to open a new RfP. I am slowly returning to the projects, and if it is of interest to the community, I would like to act as a sysop again. My focus will continue to be routine maintenance tasks (block, protect and delete), counter-vandalism and counter-spam. Sorry for having to open a new request, and thanks for consideration. I stay open for questions. Regards, Rafael (stanglavine) msg 04:05, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everyone! A former administrator, I was originally elected in early 2013 (initial RfA and subsequent confirmation) and served up until 2018 (at which time my availability was limited and sporadic). Now that I have more time to contribute, I'm interested in helping in that capacity again if there is support for me to do so. That would also allow me to help with things like the deletion request backlogs, rather than adding to it as I've been doing over the past few weeks, among other things. --Hazard-SJ (talk) 07:00, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Initial support
Split support and opposeI want new sysops, but a ditch separates a desire from an aptitude. I am usually more permissive. Wikiscan tells me that he has a contribution in Sawtooth. Effectively, over 2 and a half years, it is present for 1 year and 3 months. 97% of its contributions are made on articles. He participated only less than 1% in discussions. This is an important part of sysop's job. If we meet Gnoeee in Wikidata namespace, it is in projects and in some proposed properties. I give my opinion like that, because besides that, he is a formidable editor, who does a monstrous job. When he's around he does over 200 edits a day on average. And there is the rub: if Gnoeee spent a tiny fraction of his time on the administrative side, he would be great. If he demonstrates just 1 month of the "dark side" of administration, I vote Super-Over-The-Top-Strong support.

- Weak oppose Content contribution is nice, but according to [6] and your lack of requests at RfD you have hardly any anti-vandalism work. As Wikidata vandalism is subtly different from vandalism on other projects, I think you need a few months of experience in anti-abuse work first. As much as we need more admins, I'm not fully comfortable with granting you access at this time but would support you in a few months if you do more anti-vandalism work in the meantime.--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:40, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- @MisterSynergy: Ya.. I have just started contributing to Wikidata from the beginning of 2018 and still loving to learn from the open data Multilingual project. I have started Wikidata journey by translating labels to my native language, Malayalam. I have participation in property proposals and recently involved in creating Properties. In Wikidata my contributions till now are mainly on Projects and sub projects related to Wikidata:WikiProject India and Wikidata:WikiProject Kerala, the project I have started. There are so many duplicate items and i have involved in merging those duplicate items which is connected mainly with Malayalam Wikipedia and involved in deletion requests that's needs to be deleted. Since Wikidata is a multilingual project, at present there is no admins with knowledge in Malayalam language. Basically that's why I have accepted this nomination although I didn't have any sysop experience in any Wikis. But i can surely work on against vandalism and to prevent bad edits in my native languages and help in WD:RfD process.-❙❚❚❙❙ JinOy ❚❙❚❙❙ ✉ 20:02, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I was an administrator at Wikidata from November 13, 2012 to August 1, 2018. But the busyness in the real world and the very slow internet access at my location worked so that the contribution in all Wikimedia projects has significantly declined in recent years. But in mid-2020 I can be active again and I hope on getting administrator access rights again.
This is the request of administrator rights at the started of this project, then this is confirmation of administrator status.

MsynABot[edit]
RfP scheduled to end after 19 October 2020 07:31 (UTC)
- MsynABot (talk • contribs • new items • new lexemes • SUL • Block log • User rights log • User rights • xtools)
I would like to run an admin-bot to implement the outcome of the RfC “semi-protection to prevent vandalism on most used Items”. Based on it and the current Wikidata:Page protection policy, items that are being used on 500 or more Wikimedia pages should be indefinitely semi-protected, and this protection should be lifted once the usage number falls below this threshold. As of October 2020, around ~26.000 pages require an indefinite semi-protection under that scheme, but only ~3000 of them are currently protected. There is a weekly increase of around 200 items which fulfill the criteria for this sort of protection. I thus think that both the initial implementation of missing semi-protections as well as a weekly update should be done by an admin-bot. Details about the bot functionality can be found at Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/MsynABot (still open).
Technical note: while this request for adminship ideally results in admin rights for the bot account, I consider it valid for the described bot task only. In case I ever get into the situation to run another admin-bot task with User:MsynABot, I will ask for permission on both WD:RFP/BOT and WD:RFP/A again even if the bot account already has admin rights. —MisterSynergy (talk) 07:31, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hasley[edit]
RfP scheduled to end after 2 November 2020 17:23 (UTC)
- Hasley (talk • contribs • new items • new lexemes • SUL • Block log • User rights log • User rights • xtools)
I'm excited to present Hasley to the community as a candidate for adminship. Hasley, formerly known as Vercelas, is a regular at WD:RFD, where more help is always useful. With just over 5000 edits here on Wikidata, they have demonstrated an understanding of the relevant policies and are also active in counter-vandalism. Outside of Wikidata, Hasley has experience using the administrator tools, as an administrator on mediawiki.org, metawiki, and enwikiversity, as well as a global sysop. I believe they can be trusted with the administrative toolkit, and that granting them access to the tools would benefit the project as well. I hope the rest of the community agrees.

With over 50,000 edits here on Wikidata, they have demonstrated an understanding of the relevant policies and are active in counter-vandalism. Outside of Wikidata, Martin Urbanec has experience using the administrator tools, as an administrator on mediawiki.org, meta, and cswiki (where they are also a checkuser and bureaucrat).

- Oppose given the recent request of deleting contributions of a user that added data about Japanese Museums without contacting the user in question, make me concerned that making Martin an admin would lead to well-meaning new users getting banned instead of welcomed into Wikidata. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive/2020/12#198.14.240.72 would be another example of the last month where Martin requested a block and we decided against blocking. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 18:38, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Ad the museums, I admit that was a bordeline case, and I would leave similar cases to other administrators, if I'm going to be elected. For the second link you mention, as far as I can see, the items were actually deleted, and as you can see from my wording in the AN post, I wasn't sure on the block. Just as with the previous case, I wouldn't carry out borderline blocks, and I would consult them with other administrators.

- Weak oppose After reading through some of the recent global edits and the concerns that have been voiced here, I wouldn't feel comfortable supporting this request. In addition I generally hold the opinion that concentrating permissions of multiple projects on a few users is not beneficial for the movement. This user is already steward, as well as sysop, bureaucrat and CU on czwiki. While I see that there's a need for more admins in Wikidata, I'd prefer users that have less global permissions to become an admin. -- Dr.üsenfieber (talk) 02:08, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
