Re: [Wikiversity-l] CheckUser and Wikiversity

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! :-)   On 8/21/07, John Schmidt <johnwschmidt(a)excite.com> wrote:

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   ( http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Candidates_for_Custodianship#Nom…) -John Schmidt (user JWSchmidt) _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! _______________________________________________ Wikiversity-l mailing list Wikiversity-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikiversity-l -- Casey Brown Cbrown1023 --- Note:  This e-mail address is used for mailing lists.  Personal emails sent to this address will probably get lost.
