All,
As you may have seen, the global sysophttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_sysops 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 wikishttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_sysops/wiki_set, 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 sethttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_handbook#Managing_sets_of_wikis_.28for_global_groups.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 herehttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalUsers/Global_sysops. Questions and comments are welcome.
