Wikiquote:Requests for adminship

From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Wikiquote:RfA)
Shortcut

Here you can make a request for adminship and other special user rights on English Wikiquote. See Wikiquote:Administrators for what this entails and for a list of current admins.

Instructions

Current English Wikiquote policy is to grant administrator status to anyone who has been an active Wikiquote contributor for a while and is generally a known and trusted member of the community. Most users seem to agree that the more administrators there are the better.

Administrators should register a valid email address and allow other users to send them messages in preferences, or give an email address on their user page.

If you want to become an administrator, please use the box below, filling out all the required areas and replacing "USERNAME" with your user name. Any user can comment on your request -- they might express reservations (because, for example, they suspect you will abuse your new-found powers, or if you've joined very recently), but hopefully they will approve and say lovely things about you. If this is not your first RfA, put a 2 (or whatever number RfA it may be) after "USERNAME" in the box.

Once you have saved your RfA page, add it to the Nominations for adminship section. Adminship nominations must be posted for at least one week, to provide opportunity for comments and voting, before a bureaucrat will make the promotion if warranted.

For closed votes, see #Past discussions.

Nominations for adminship

Note: Nominations have to be accepted by the user in question. If you nominate a user, please also leave a message on their talk page and inform them about their listing on this page, and ask them to reply here if they accept the nomination. You may nominate yourself (in which case you have automatically accepted the nomination).

Saroj (talk · contributions)

Hello, everyone. I am nominating Saroj for bureaucratship today. Given that the English Wikiquote only has three bureaucrats, and that sometimes bureaucrat availability might be limited, Saroj would be able to help out with handling RfP and bot requests, for example such as the case with my interface administrator request (it ended on a Saturday, but was granted and closed on Monday). I have confidence that Saroj would be a significant asset to the bureaucrat team. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 14:36, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate's acceptance: I accept this nomination. Thank you for the trust. I am willing to serve as bureaucrat. --Saroj (talk) 15:26, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging GreenMeansGo, clear consensus to promote Saroj to a bureaucrat. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 00:02, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for importing right

The import function allows editors to upload specially formatted text into Wikiquote, or to transwiki such material after it is exported from another Wikimedia project. Only a Meta steward can add or drop any user's importing right. After requests are approved here, they will be reported to m:Steward requests/Permissions.

Codename Noreste (talk · contributions)

Given that the English Wikiquote has only two interface administrators, I would like to request access to the IA permission so that I can help out in handling interface-protected edit requests (if possible) and assist with CSS; note that I have a basic understanding of it, and that I will use the IA permission solely for technical maintenance. Thanks. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 20:34, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
