<div>All,</div>

<div>As you may have seen, the <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_sysop">global sysop</a>s are active. They will do sysop's job in those places where there are not enuf admins. Since Global sysops cover a lot of Indian wikimedia projects, I thought it is worth mentioning here in the list. Current elected GSs are those who had been doing counter vandalism and Small wiki monitoring for quite a while. ( I am not sure how many are aware of the great job of the <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SWMT">SWMT</a> and such CVN groups. they are the silent guards, imho). Most of them can be found in various irc channels and can be contacted in case of emergency - say some one is causing trouble and you dont have a sysop around - on their meta talk pages or IRC. </div>

<div><strong>Global </strong><a class="mw-redirect" title="Sysop" href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sysop"><strong>sysops</strong></a> are highly trusted users with a strong track record of cross-wiki contributions that have sysop privileges on <a title="Global sysops/wiki set" href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_sysops/wiki_set">many small wikis</a>, for the purposes of antivandalism and routine maintainance. They are not users with sysop tools on all wikis and they have <b>no</b> extra editorial control over content or the local community.</div>

<p>By default, global sysop would be <b>enabled</b> for every project that meets one of the following criteria:</p>
<ul>
<li>fewer than <b>ten</b> administrators exist; or</li>
<li>fewer than <b>three</b> administrators have made a logged action within the past two months.</li></ul>
<p>Projects may opt-in or opt-out at their own discretion if they obtain local consensus. Simply inform any steward of the community's decision. A <a title="Steward handbook" href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_handbook#Managing_sets_of_wikis_.28for_global_groups.29">wiki set</a>, located <a title="Global sysops/wiki set" href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_sysops/wiki_set">here</a> is used to give rights on the included wikis only.</p>
