Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Global Sysops

All, As you may have seen, the global sysop<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_sysop>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 SWMT <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SWMT> 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. Please see some details that we should know: *From Meta page:* *Global **sysops* <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sysop> are highly trusted users with a strong track record of cross-wiki contributions that have sysop privileges on many small wikis<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_sysops/wiki_set>et>, for the purposes of antivandalism and routine maintainance. They are not users with sysop tools on all wikis and they have *no* extra editorial control over content or the local community. Scope By default, global sysop would be *enabled* for every project that meets one of the following criteria: - fewer than *ten* administrators exist; or - fewer than *three* administrators have made a logged action within the past two months. 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 wiki set<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_handbook#Managing_sets_of_wik…29>, located here <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_sysops/wiki_set> is used to give rights on the included wikis only. See the current list of Global sysops here<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalUsers/Global_sysops>ps>. Questions and comments are welcome.
