Hi, I've been administrator on Wikidata since November 2012, with over 39 000 edits. I've made edits every day since I came to this project (October 29, 2012). I don't have experience about being an oversighter, but I know what it is, when it should be used, and so on. I'm active on Wikidata and I have made many revDels on Wikidata so far, so I think that I could be good to this task. I'm also trusted user (even if I say it myself). --Stryn (talk) 08:00, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  1.  Weak support - you do not have much experience in highly confidential information, but you're otherwise fine.--Jasper Deng (talk) 08:05, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  2.  Neutral The stats provided by MF-W in this discussion do not indicate a need for local oversighters for now, in my opinion. Anyway, it is the community's decision, so I'm not going to oppose here. Regards, Vogone talk 08:24, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  4.  Support Jasper's point is taken, but I don't want to oppose just because the Finnish Wikipedia hasn't had as many abusive user/BLP issues. Finnish Wikipedia does have oversighters, so it's not like the OS concept would be entirely new either. I did a bit of research, and candidate has been the most active admin there over the last year: [1] Also nothing problematic was found, so I'm supporting. --Rschen7754 19:28, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Questions from Rschen7754 for all candidates

1. Oversighters from a few of the larger WMF projects have faced an increased risk of harassment on and off wiki, and increased pressure to disclose more information regarding a suppressed edit, i.e. who suppressed it, what the logged reason was, etc. Is this a possibility that you have considered? In the second scenario, what would your response be?

A. This is one of those not so nice things, but this is what wiki is, and I'm ready to face those risks. Well, if somebody asks me to tell those things, I will not tell, because no one needs to know (except oversighters) what has been done and why. It's not important who suppressed it. I'm not going to give detailed information. --Stryn (talk) 08:40, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Questions from Byrial for all candidates

2. Wikidata is multilingual. Which languages may be used in requests to you for oversighting? Which additional languages would you be able to oversight? What will you do if you receive a request for oversighting a text which is in a language you don't understand?

A. Finnish is my mother tongue, I understand English enough, and also little bit of Swedish. If I receive a request about language what I don't understand, then I'll use Google Translate (I'm good with it), or if there is other oversighter who understands it, I'll ask him. --Stryn (talk) 12:32, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Questions from Sven Manguard for all candidates

3. Do you have OTRS access? If so, for how long and what queues?

A. No, I don't have any, but I've been thinking about joining, especially because there is not many Finnish-speaking volunteers. --Stryn (talk) 15:38, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

4. What advanced permissions (admin, 'crat, CU, OS, or any group such as ArbCom that would grant you CU or OS) do you have on this and all other Wikimedia projects? For how long have you had these rights?

A. I'm admin on the Finnish Wikipedia, been since January 2011. --Stryn (talk) 15:38, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Questions from John F. Lewis for all candidates

5. When is it appropriate to hide a username from the public using hideuser? Why?

A: When username is defamatory. --Stryn (talk) 09:00, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

6. When is it appropriate to delete log entries (deletelogentry)? Why?

A: When they contains non-public personal information or other defamatory information. --Stryn (talk) 09:00, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

7. When is it appropriate to hide abuse filter entires (abusefilter-hide-log)? Why?

A: Same reasons than above. --Stryn (talk) 09:00, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
