Final decisions (by stewards)

edit
Latest comment: 9 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Confirmation discussions will remain open from 29 February 2024, 14:00 (UTC) till 7 March 2024, 14:00 (UTC). This may be extended to two weeks for one or more confirmations at the discretion of the Election Committee if the committee believes further input is required before concluding. The Election Committee will close these discussions and implement the outcome (which also means making a decision in non-obvious cases).

This page is for steward discussion only. Please do not comment in this box unless you are a steward.

The summaries below provide a very strict overview of the most relevant confirmation comments.

Stewards: Please leave your comments right below the boxes after reviewing the actual confirmation comments and your understanding of relevant policies. You may summarize the confirmation discussions in individual comments, but no overall summary is given.

  • Remove, regretfully. Vituzzu's on-wiki comments in response to the Gitz6666 case, both on enwiki and on the confirm page, are not what we expect from stewards. This sentiment was voiced by many established contributors and multiple admins/functs on the confirm page, and my perspective basically aligns with Barkeep49's comment. It's important to remember that the audience of our on-wiki messaging about stewards' cases is as much uninvolved observers as it is the person we're replying to: getting heated in responses reflects poorly on the steward who made them, and stewards as a group.

  • Remove, with regret. The community has spoken. While confirmations aren't the same as elections, the level of support is not sufficient to confirm. Huge +1 to what Vermont wrote as well. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 09:17, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Remove – A significant minority of the community feels that Vituzzu's responses in the Wikipedia Signpost discussion and their confirmation discussion were unbecoming of a Steward. — JJMC89 (T·C) 21:01, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Remove with enormous regret. It's really a single issue, and shouldn't be sufficient to out-balance the years of effective work. But the community is the community and the level of support is too low to reconfirm. Sorry. MarcGarver (talk) 11:28, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Remove regretfully. Thanks for all your work. --❄️Mykola❄️ 22:41, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Remove with sadness. Even though the issues pointed out are relevant, I believe this is a problem that could have received a better treatment. There must have a remedy that could have solved this whole situation without completely removing Vito from Stewards group. Perhaps it is too late to mention anyway. Perhaps we should be able to choose some third option between keep or remove. In all those years, Vito’s work was important across many wikis and and IMO it surpasses his mistakes. That should be taken in consideration. Community has spoken and we must attest what we can infer from the discussion and there is no consensus to keep.—Teles «Talk ˱C L @ S˲» 23:24, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Remove per Teles and MarcGarver. I agree that the situation could have gone differently, this didn't necessarily have to lead to removal, but there is no sufficient consensus to keep now. Thanks for your work! --Johannnes89 (talk) 07:33, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

All stewards running for confirmation

edit
Latest comment: 9 months ago4 comments2 people in discussion
Note
Should you be decided to drop your comment here, please don't forget to add Confirm all or Remove all to your text. The discussion below applies to all stewards listed in the sections above, except the one commenting. Thanks, --Superpes15 (talk) 11:32, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

* Confirm all. For the case mentioned in Sakretsu/Vituzzu's confirmations, which are the ones standing out the most, I'm not sure entirely what has happened or who is in the wrong, but I'm glad they have been responsive and overall they have been competent and active stewards. As for Masti, I am also satisfied enough with the responses to the concerns addressed too. Overall, if they have learned from their mistakes, I don't think it's worth losing active and competent stewards over this, and thus I will still be leaning to confirm all. EPIC (talk) 14:22, 29 February 2024 (UTC) Reply

  • OK, I've taken a second look at the Vituzzu case, and I do not like what I am reading. I'm not too convinced by either side though, so for now, I will be neutral for that one. Other than that; confirm all as I do not have anything to say about the other stewards than what has already been said. EPIC (talk) 20:48, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

After some further thought I'm striking this for now as there does not appear to be a consensus to confirm all candidates. EPIC (talk) 14:03, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
