Martin Urbanec[edit]
RfP scheduled to end after 7 January 2021 17:21 (UTC)
- Martin Urbanec (talk • contribs • new items • new lexemes • SUL • Block log • User rights log • User rights • xtools)
I'm excited to present Martin Urbanec to the community as a candidate for adminship. Martin Urbanec, formerly known as Urbanecm, is a regular at WD:RFD, where more help is always useful. With over 50,000 edits here on Wikidata, they have demonstrated an understanding of the relevant policies and are active in counter-vandalism. Outside of Wikidata, Martin Urbanec has experience using the administrator tools, as an administrator on mediawiki.org, meta, and cswiki (where they are also a checkuser and bureaucrat). They are also trusted globally as a steward. I believe they can be trusted with the administrative toolkit, and that granting them access to the tools would benefit the project as well. I hope the rest of the community agrees. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 17:21, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose given the recent request of deleting contributions of a user that added data about Japanese Museums without contacting the user in question, make me concerned that making Martin an admin would lead to well-meaning new users getting banned instead of welcomed into Wikidata. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive/2020/12#198.14.240.72 would be another example of the last month where Martin requested a block and we decided against blocking.

- Ad the museums, I admit that was a bordeline case, and I would leave similar cases to other administrators, if I'm going to be elected. For the second link you mention, as far as I can see, the items were actually deleted, and as you can see from my wording in the AN post, I wasn't sure on the block. Just as with the previous case, I wouldn't carry out borderline blocks, and I would consult them with other administrators. Thanks for your vote, --Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:11, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose problematic use of rights previously granted (bot account). --- Jura 18:47, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- can you expand on what the problem was? BrokenSegue (talk) 19:11, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @BrokenSegue: I assume it's the same issue as raised in Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/UrbanecmBot 2 previously --Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:27, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Essentially the user requested a privileged account for a specific purpose and then used it for another (unapproved) purpose. Here they seek even more advanced privileges. --- Jura 19:40, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Support I think Martin is a trusted user that has hundreds of undo/rollback edits and over a thousand deleted edits. I understand ChristianKl's concern a little bit, but I hope Martin will be more careful about subjects which he isn't sure. Uncitoyen (talk) 22:05, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak oppose After reading through some of the recent global edits and the concerns that have been voiced here, I wouldn't feel comfortable supporting this request. In addition I generally hold the opinion that concentrating permissions of multiple projects on a few users is not beneficial for the movement. This user is already steward, as well as sysop, bureaucrat and CU on czwiki. While I see that there's a need for more admins in Wikidata, I'd prefer users that have less global permissions to become an admin. -- Dr.üsenfieber (talk) 02:08, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
