You should put your new proposal on the bottom of the section "Two-thirds majority in favour", following the format:

=== [[:<language code>:<the article's name>]] === '''{{TOWCandidates|Support = 11|Oppose = 0}}''' Description of the article's theme. (optional) '''Suppose''' #<the reason that you support> (optional)--~~~~ '''Oppose''' '''Comment'''

For example,

=== [[:id:Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat]] === '''{{TOWCandidates|Support = 1|Oppose = 0}}''' The Palace of Yogyakarta. '''Suppose''' #Is featured in Indonesian Wikipedia and the topic is important.--~~~~ '''Oppose''' '''Comment''' .--RekishiEJ 13:04, 5 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

I want to thank you for your help translating throughout this year's fundraiser. The fundraiser has greatly benefited from all your contributions. Currently, the Kartika, Liliaroja, Abbas and Joan Gomà appeals need to be translated, as we are running appeals from editors. You can find all translation requests at the translation hub on meta and you can follow the progress of the fundraiser in real time by tracking the fundraiser statistics. It is important to check the Core Messages as many languages still need updating. Also if you haven't already, you can subscribe to the translators-l mailing list for all new requests and major changes. Many thanks for your help in truly making this a global fundraiser that you can edit.Klyman 19:34, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

As I read this article by BBC, I can't help but thinking about Wikimedians who passed away. What should happen to their accounts and contributions? What if the family willed for the information to be deleted? What are the policy for dealing with that event? Has anyone wrote/discussed about this (in any projects)? Is there any example of such an account? Bennylin 09:40, 24 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Dear Bennylin,

You have helped us in previous years with translations and for that we are most grateful. Now we turn towards the 2011/12 fundraiser. It may seem forever away, but work has already begun getting everything ready to go. This year we want to have landing pages covering as many countries in as many languages as possible.

Right now, we want to figure out who is interested in translating for the fundraiser. This year we're hoping to have more of a solidified "core" group of translators that we can count on to have work done by a few key dates, but we'd also welcome help from people who are willing to just help out when they can.

If you would be interested please take a look at this little sign-up survey and fill it out http://survey.wikimedia.org/index.php?sid=13638&newtest=Y&lang=en. With that we can start building a list of people and filling any gaps in the languages we serve.

Many Thanks

Hi Bennylin,

I've changed my vote from no to yes. Thanks for arranging for the GoogleTrans gadget to be updated (so now it supports ie9). Good luck. Unfortunately, Google is ending their language API v1 (noncommercial) on 1 december 2011. They have a V2 of their language API (on commercial terms). So as of now it looks as if the GoogleTrans gadget is going off the air on 1 december. I am asking Google now if they would consider in-kind donations to keep the gadget working. I can convert it over to Microsoft's language API but they charge after 1000 requests per month (and there are 17,000 users on the enwiki alone besides 10 other wikis). I'm telling you this because, if you do get to be a steward, you'll should know this, since many people translate articles between the enwiki and other wikis, and every once in a while they want to know what a word (or sentence) means in their language (and so use GoogleTrans).

To keep in the pages of wiki Administrator's personnel thesis? at http://sd.wikipedia.org ? Other problem is We call Computer as same in English, but admin forcibly used his word Ganpukar of Computer. I have proof that thousands of published books called it Computer not Ganpukar. If some one oppose him he started abusive language. That is the reason sd.wikipedia.org never got attraction to Sindhi community. Plz check record there. Other things are he locked CSS due to that on the same site there are lot of font styles appeared there. He is not able to set commonCSS or Monocss. We are in trouble to work in our local Sindhi language. I don't know where to say for this problem. Record history says all the situation there. I appeal plz warn him to follow en.wikipedia.org rules, other wise he will continue use his personnel details and personnel promoted articles there. Dear I am sorry If u r not right person to say all about this, Plz suggest me where I can raise this issue. My sd.wikipedia.org ID is same.

Hi! I just want to thank you and give you this barnstar for your help with the translation of the 2011 fundraiser! The fundraiser was the best we ever had, both in terms of the amount we collected and in terms of number of translations. We couldn't have done either one without the help we got from you and other translators. If you are interested, we made a report, which has some statistics about the translations.

And: I have one more request, and that is that you take this survey. You may have got an e-mail about it, and if you did, please ignore this. But if you didn't it would be great if you would take this survey too, so we can learn to improve the translation experience.

When you edit portal templates, please, do this in the following order:

1. Edit the appropriate sandbox
2. Synchronize the sandbox with the template by copy-pasting the complete html from one into another

Please, do not make any edits to the portal templates except to synchronize them with their sandboxes, which may contain unsyncronized changes made before you. Your last edit just created a mess. Ruslik (talk) 19:05, 20 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

I heard you. Thanks for correcting, and my apology. ✒ Bennylin 13:47, 22 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

So this edit was to put the projects in size order by total article count? In case you didn't know, the original order was chronologically by date opened (separately for the "interlanguage" projects and the "multilingual" projects). I think that might be a better order, since that won't change in the future (apart from adding new projects, as I just did), and switching tables around makes it quite difficult to tell what has changed (you can't tell just by looking at the page diffs) when checking for bad edits. - dcljr (talk) 00:34, 21 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

I find worrisome that a steward ignores basic policies, so i'll link this here fyi. Blocking is not punitive, period.--Idonthavetimeforthiscarp (talk) 20:38, 21 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

I quote: ✒ Bennylin

Blocks should not be punitive. Blocks should not be used:

• in retaliation against users;
• to disparage other users;
• as punishment against users;
• or where there is no current conduct issue of concern.

  None of this definition applies to the context that I'm talking to, as you can see on the explanation in my comment, except #3, in relation to a certain vandalism and disruptive behavior (see preventive point #2). I failed to see why you can't grasp this simple logic of "you vandalize, you're blocked". ✒ Bennylin 03:33, 22 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

And i must say that apparently you also failed to understand what the reconfirmation discussion was about. That user vandalized nothing, so your claim makes absolutely no sense.--Idonthavetimeforthiscarp (talk) 17:42, 27 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Blocks should be preventative. Blocks should be used to:

• prevent imminent or continuing damage and disruption to Wikipedia;
• deter the continuation of present, disruptive behavior;

  This is the point that I meant. You can't block someone which haven't done anything disruptive, thus, by my definition, punitive, although my definition is not the same as en.wp's, and definitely en.wp's policy are not the same as my home wiki's. ✒ Bennylin 03:33, 22 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

• and encourage a more productive, congenial editing style within community norms.

You can't block someone who hasn't done anything disruptive, and ranting on IRC is not disruptive for WP. It's really all about that--Idonthavetimeforthiscarp (talk) 17:42, 27 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

This policy has a lot of logic flaw, but it's not of my uttermost concern right now. ✒ Bennylin 03:33, 22 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Salam, Bennylin.

Terima kasih sudah merespon komentar saya di halaman ini. Jujur, saya memang pernah mengatakan tidak tahu tentang Aceh, namun sepertinya Anda salah memahami. Maksud saya adalah saya kurang mengetahui akan kosa kata bahasa Aceh asli sebabnya bahasa Aceh sekarang sudah bercampur aduk dengan bahasa Indonesia, dan ini terjadi pada saya saat berbicara.

Mohon maaf jika saya menyebar ancaman. Saya bermaksud agar pihak Meta tidak terlalu memperpanjang masalah ini. Pengguna Si Gam memang berselisih dengan pengguna lain, Jose77 khususnya. Itu memang sudah terjadi beberapa waktu silam, terkait dengan artikel bertopik agama. Saya mengharapkan perselisihan ini berakhir, entah bagaimana caranya. Terakhir, bukankah sebaiknya pengurus di wikipedia ditangani oleh penutur asli bahasa tersebut, supaya artikel yang keliru, baik dari segi bahasa, pengucapan, dsb., dapat diperbaiki. Dan ini hanya dapat ditangani oleh Pengguna Si Gam saat ini jika dia menjadi pengurus. Saya tidak bermaksud menolak pengguna dari penutur bahasa lain menyunting artikel acewiki. Mohon jangan salah paham.

He (User:EmrahÖ) is a stubborn vandal. The Kurdish name of the some Provinces of Turkey (il) and the "Category:Kurdistan" on the English and Turkish Wikipedias are vandalized movements. "Muş (Armenian: Մուշ, Kurdish: Mûş)" and "Muş Province (Turkish: Muş ili)" is true, but the Kurdish name for "Muş Province (Turkish: Muş ili, Kurdish: Parêzgeha Mûş)" is not true; because, the province names only writed in official Turkish language. --Kmoksy (talk) 08:45, 23 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

In my review, which was only about en.wikipedia, there was revert warring, with Kmosky. Both users did this. This is a factional dispute, it's obvious. My suggestions to EmrahÖ are that he follow w:WP:DR, avoid revert warring, and seek agreement with other editors.

I apologize for the length, here, Bennylin; I did a lot of research to write this, it's hours of work, and I tried to edit it down, to take out anything not useful, and this is what is left.

EmrahÖ made many mistakes, but vandal he is not. (AFAIK) Stubborn, yes, with a kind of stubbornness common among factional editors. That's the problem, and it is not only his problem. What was the emergency about a Kurdish translation being in a Wikipedia article? Would anyone have been misled?

The Kurds are a minority group in Turkey (18%). It can be expected that a strong majority of editors interested in articles on Turkey will not be Kurds and some might be hostile to Kurds and Kurdish. Conversely, language issues can be very important to minorities, a matter of survival. Complicating this is that the city of Mus is "historically Armenian," and there is incredibly tragic history there. The province is in a Kurdish region, if I have this right. Feelings about the language issue could run high indeed.

I've pointed out to EmrahÖ what he can do to pursue what he thinks is right. At that point, I had no position on inclusion of the name or exclusion, but only on the process. Reviewing Kmosky's statement (and I already knew the argument), however, I do come to a position, which, fortunately, Bennylin, you do not have to decide, so I hope you don't mind this comment, which I make because Kmosky brought up the issue. EmrahÖ made many mistakes, but he was also severely provoked.

Both editors argued "truth" (Kmosky explicitly, and here, and Emrah EmrahÖ, implicitly), not WP:RS, which would include Kurdish reliable source. What is the province called in Kurdish publications? If they use the official Turkish name, end of question. But if they use the Kurdish name, sometimes, then the Kurdish name should be in the article, which is about the province itself, not "official Turkish language," which is only one kind of source.

Something simple which should seal the matter, without need for further research: w:Muş (province) interwiki links to w:ku:Mûş (parêzgeh). That article was created in 2008 and no controversy has appeared over the name, AFAIK. So what should be in en.wiki as a Kurdish translation, almost certainly, is Mûş, not any of the options Kmosky described, nor what EmrahÖ tried to put in (though EmrahÖ was closer).

Reviewing the history, there is also the issue of the Armenian name. added in September 2013, removed, probably accidentally, by EmrahÖ, restored immediately by another editor, accepted clearly by another, and then removed by another SPA with 30 March 2014], which triggered revert warring with EmrahÖ. It's a mess.

Instead of attempting to compromise with EmrahÖ, supporting what was legitimate about what he wanted to do, Kmosky called him, from the beginning, a cross-wiki vandal, which was uncivil, inflammatory, unnecessary, and irrelevant, and revert warred with him. Not good. This was a tempest in a teapot, an argument about what turns out to be, as a difference between Turkish and Kurdish, a diacritical mark, though this can make a big difference to speakers of a language. I did not research the full history, but this issue had obviously come up before, and the Kurdish language, the language of those who actually live in the province, had not been respected.

Bennylin, before EmrahÖ is unlocked, I still suggest he acknowledge his own errors. (And I have attempted to contact him on ku.wiktionary.) On the other hand, he was faced with factional editing that did not seek compromise. This often drives naive editors crazy. He didn't know what to do. So I've advised him. If he takes it to heart, it could make his future wiki editing much less disruptive and more productive. This is absolutely not about taking sides in a factional dispute, it's about finding ways for editors to cooperate instead of fight, while still standing for what they believe.

There is nothing to do here about Kmosky based on what I've seen, so far. I've only raised Kmosky's behavior on enwiki because it shows what EmrahÖ was faced with. Thanks, Bennylin. --Abd (talk) 16:44, 23 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thank you Bennylin for contacting me about EmrahÖ. EmrahÖ has been locked for periods from the ku.wiki as well, mainly for his stubborness and incommunication with other users, and trying to force his versions on us without any references. However, we have dealed with this accordingly, but we never felt he was a "threat" to the ku.wiki and that he should be locked for ever. I don't think s/he deserves to be permanently locked, not in ku.wiki or elsewhere. S/he added the Kurdish names to articles dealing with Kurdish regions in Turkey, in disagreement with Kmosky, and this is not vandalism as long as there are references. Kmosky could be more communicative as well, and not try to keep en.wiki clean from any Kurdish references. The Kurdish names of the Kurdish regions in Turkey, are as "official" in Kurdish as the Turkish names are in Turkish, and if the en.wiki uses a reference in Turkish in a Kurdish region, it's obviously correct to add the Kurdish equivalence. It's about giving as much information and sources as possible. This is not about stubborn Kurdish nationalists, but Kurds are as obsessive or protective about their language as are the Turks, or the English! So to make this discussion short, I agree with unlocking EmrahÖ and give him/her a second chance. Thank you again. --MikaelF (talk) 06:17, 27 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

Hello Bennylin. You have a global.js page which contains your global scripts for all wikis. Since August 19^th, your global.js and global.css pages are loaded automatically on all wikis (see announcement). Since you already load them yourself on some wikis, you may experience script errors or issues like tools being added twice. I can fix that for you by merging your local scripts and styles into your global pages, and deleting the local pages with synchbot. Do you want me to do that? —Pathoschild 18:16, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello Bennylin. Please clarify your Synchbot request — do you want what I suggested above, or something else? —Pathoschild 20:36, 02 November 2014 (UTC)

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. The general confidentiality agreement is now ready, and the OTRS agreement will be ready after 22 September 2015. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,

Dear Bennylin,

As you probably know, the confirmation discussions for Stewards have been closed. In order to determine the outcome of these discussions, you are invited to comment on Talk:Stewards/Confirm/2016 before scheduled closure of the confirmation section "one week after the appointment of the newly elected stewards" (Sunday 6th of March, 17:22 UTC), though the closing time might be extended at the ElectCom's discretion for an extra week if it is believed "further input is required before concluding". All stewards are welcome to comment, including those newly elected.

For those who ran for confirmation, consider revising comments regarding you, and replying to those where appropriate. Savh^ñ 08:01, 4 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Through June, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas focusing on addressing harassment toward Wikimedia contributors. The 2015 Harassment Survey has shown evidence that harassment in various forms - name calling, threats, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among others - is pervasive. Available methods and systems to deal with harassment are also considered to be ineffective. These behaviors are clearly harmful, and in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.

Proposals in any language are welcome during the campaign - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

Bureaucrats cannot remove sysop rights unless that particular wiki has decided that they will have the technical rights to do so. Please read Bureaucrat and GS.

I find it a bit concerning that you have been a steward since 2011 and were not aware of this. --Rschen7754 05:45, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Also, for this you need to use Template:Systmp, so that the listing is added to SRAT and the permissions are actually temporary. --Rschen7754 06:15, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Benny. Bureaucrats cannot remove sysop or bureaucrat rights at all but on a small number of wikis listed in Bureaucrat. It does not matter if the wiki is a global sysop wiki or not for us to be able to remove rights, global sysop is a totally unrelatted matter when it comes to this. I leave this message to you because on every removal request I can remember that you handled, you always commited this mistake. I'm not sure how to make this message sound friendly, but it is friendly indeed.

I noticed your concern in the past nomination of this user. My consideration for the decision are these:

• At the time of his 3 months temp adminship approved May 13th, there was no vote at all, yet he was appointed by masti
• Since June 2nd to June 12th, because the voting page was not properly closed/archived, 4 users have voted in, one of them is admin from id.wp. Considering the level of activity of that wiki, 4 votes is quite high.
• I know the language (about map-bms-3), and I would personally supervise it as needed.
• The user is not "hat collector" or anything, afaik, but have been actively doing administrator work in that wiki.
• The wiki could use the help of a temp admin right now.

I hope it explains my action, but if you still feel that the closure was too early, you're welcomed to undo my appointment of Murbaut. Thanks for your input. ✒ Bennylin 12:58, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

It is actually meta policy not to close things too early, and I believe the process does not leave space for personal opinions when evaluating whether the request can be closed with or without community input based on a subjective short amount of time that has passed.

Hi,

You’re getting this because you’re a steward or global renamer. The Community Tech team are working on cross-wiki watchlists. We need to add a couple of fields to the localuser table in centralauth database. In order to be able to do this, we’d need to run a script that will get in the way of renaming users. Our apologies – we realize this is getting in the way of your work.

We ask that you do not rename anyone between 00:00 November 20 (UTC) and 00:00 November 27 (UTC).

(UTC means that if you live in the Americas, it will be on the evening or afternoon of November 19 when the script starts running, and if you live in Oceania or eastern Asia, it can be closer midday on November 27 before we can be sure the script is no longer running.)

Due to the nature of the request, I'm afraid I cannot give a lot of commentary on this, except the following: I believe I have acted as a neutral steward, the urgency called for an immediate action, and it is not done privately, as there are other users who have access to the ticket. ✒ Bennylin 07:33, 19 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi - according to our records you received a free account for JSTOR through The Wikipedia Library. Because we’ve used up all of our allocated accounts, and it’s been some time since they were distributed, we want to redistribute any accounts that aren’t being used to users on our waitlist.

If you’re still using, or plan to use, your JSTOR access, no problem! Simply head over to the Library Card platform, log in, and request a renewal of your account. You should be able to do this from your user page, or the JSTOR signup page. If you can’t find the renewal button, or have any other issues or questions about this, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page.

This is a reminder to acknowledge and sign the new Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information. As you know, your volunteer role in Wikimedia projects gives you access to secure and sensitive information.

The new version includes one major change.

• There is a change regarding the way personal data may be released. Accordingly, functionaries must notify the Wikimedia Foundation at check-disclosurewikimedia.org before releasing data, in order to obtain a written approval for doing so. The Foundation will respond within 10 days. However, for emergencies, such as cases involving threats of violence, functionaries may release the personal data without such explicit permission, but they should notify the Foundation immediately following the disclosure. If they choose not to disclose the data, the request for disclosure should be forwarded to the Foundation's emergency email address (emergencywikimedia.org).

There are also some wording changes that were made to more closely align the language with evolving industry norms, best practices and laws. The most notable of these has been the change of the term "nonpublic information" to "nonpublic personal data". None of these changes are intended to make fundamental changes to the scope or practice of the policy but we know they could appear as such, hence wanted to flag them.

The aforementioned changes require users that have already signed the previous version of the policy to sign the new version as well.

We therefore ask that you to sign the updated version. Signing the agreement is tracked on Phabricator's Legalpad. An online guide is available to help you with signing the agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign. If you wish you can sign it directly at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/L37. The exact policy is located here: Access to nonpublic personal data policy. The text of the confidentiality agreement is located here: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information

If you have already received this message and signed the updated agreement, you need not sign it again. Once is sufficient. In this case, we ask that you respond to Samuel (WMF) letting him know when (date) and how (method/process of signing) you have signed it so that we can update our own records.

Note: please bear in mind that if you still haven’t signed the updated version of the Confidentiality Agreement by February 13, 2019 your rights will be removed.

Thank you for your understanding,
