I use my ops when I need to.

Many of our active Wikinews users (both on wiki and in channel) do not have the proper access levels to respond to saturations. But should any old Wikinews user come online, they have full ownership of the channel. The current level 30 access on #wikinews is "alexws, _sj_, CraigSpurrier, Chiacomo, Pechorin, Natterer, Dan100, Xirzon, Amgine, IlyaHaykinson, Datrio, Ross_Koepke, mrmiscellanious". How many are active in the channel on a daily basis? One (congrats Craig!). When was the last time Amgine was around on the project? MrM, didn't he retire two years ago? I've never met Ross_Koepke, and have no clue to who Pechorin is. What I do know is BrianNewZealand, Brianmc, ZJH, FellowWikiNews, WM-Thunderhead, DragonFire1024, Pilotguy, and ironiridis. (If I missed anyone who is active, I'm sorry, just grabbing active users from the users currently signed on.) Does Wikinews have a policy on how access rights should be granted? Shouldn't we have more than 1 level 30 user (kinda like Coca-Cola)? Should active administrator get higher ops access? Should we do community voting?

Well, I'll gladly accept level 30 if you all are willing to give it to me ;-)

Seriously, though, I think that all of our administrators should have at least level 10.

From my experience, I have a different opinion. IRC is not an official

Active administrators on IRC should have a higher level. I think that all of our bureaucrats should have a higher level, perhaps 30.

On a side note, I am willing to give admins op status upon request on #wikinews-nonsense. -- Thunderhead http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Thunderhead http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Thunderhead _______________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: I hold no official position in the Wikimedia Foundation.
