Consider this blatant canvassing! :-P (Necessary in Requests for CheckUser
status because you need 2 people with at least 25 votes of support.)
At the time of this writing, there were two candidates for CheckUser status:
SB_Johnny and JWSchmidt. Please go vote for them (or against them) at
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Candidates_for_Custodianship#Nom…
.
Hope to see you all there! :-)

The English language Wikiversity had a great first year with only
relatively minor problems from vandals. This Spring we experienced some
rather nasty vandalism from persistent vandals and started discussion of
CheckUser policy for Wikiversity (
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:CheckUser_policy).
An editor with "CheckUser status" on a wiki can determine from which IP
addresses a registered user has edited and find all the edits on the wiki
from a specific IP (even when logged in). Data collected via the CheckUser
feature can be used as an aid in fighting persistent vandalism of articles
by people who create multiple accounts.
Recently there was difficulty in getting prompt CheckUser help from the
meta-wiki, so this may be the time to try to get some CheckUsers for the
Wikiversity project. Please participate in the community discussion at the
centralized "user rights" discussion page (
