To avoid having to ask other people (notably @Jarekt:, Matěj Suchánek, Epìdosis ) to do edits for me, I'm requesting this. From Wikidata:Interface administrators, it seems this can be granted independently of adminship. I do edit requests for interface messages once in a while. --- Jura 08:44, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose From the various interactions I had with the user I do not think it would be a good idea to trust him with privileges on the site. Too stubborn when takes a stance and already blocked for this (see here). --Sannita - not just another it.wiki sysop 10:28, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose this is a « very powerful and potentially dangerous » tool and « interface administrators should be users who are highly trusted ». I do not think they meet this requirements. I also don't really see the needs, they indeed made some requests but not that much and they didn't prove that they really need the tool. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 12:50, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree with Sannita and Vigneron. -Ash Crow (talk) 13:11, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose I totally agree with Vigneron, Ash Crow and others - Too many problematic edits from this person, who generally does not recognize their own errors when confronted to them... --Hsarrazin (talk) 15:17, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Vigneron --DannyS712 (talk) 17:09, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose Given their record of incivility and combative behavior, including a block therefore, I oppose any elevation of their rights, especially to one that can cause substantial harm.--Jasper Deng (talk) 10:50, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The candidate says in their statement that they would like to do edits to "interface messages". Editing regular pages in NS_MEDIAWIKI is something allowed to regular sysops. Interface adminship is reserved only for people who really need to edit CSS/JS pages in NS_MEDIAWIKI, not for other purposes. Otherwise, the security-related justification to creating that group would be void. In the list of past requests below, I see only one edit request for JS page, none for CSS. As such, I'm not convinced the candidate a) needs to edit CSS/JS b) is sufficiently tech-savvy to know how to do so. In addition to that, a block record is quite worrying to me, even if so-far just a single block. Best, --Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:35, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per VIGNERON and Ash Crow. --Fralambert (talk) 18:35, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Martin and Sannita. --Rschen7754 19:21, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per Sannita and Jasper. — Envlh (talk) 21:02, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per VIGNERON and Jasper Deng. Jura1 is currently subject to an editing restriction, and was temporarily blocked for violating it just a year ago. I do not trust them with interface administrator rights. —Galaktos (talk) 21:06, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I think that this user is not trustable enough to give him such a status. His short presentation didn't convince me of a real need of these tools. Pymouss (talk) 21:35, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Between
Oppose and
Strong oppose: I join such a discussion for the first time. I had a few minor conflicts with the user, but did not attribute much attention/importance to them, because we may always look at things from different angles. I made them questions, listened to their advice and consoled and called them back when blocked but hesitating to return after their block ended. However, I cannot accept "any" button to be given to a user who could go that far away -for example- in the case of Tuğçe Ertekin (this one: Q88701115) to declare her name as "unknown language!" for their obstinacy to reject the totally legitimate Turkish Latin Alphabet letter "ğ". Even the fact that we have another Tuğçe Ertekin (what a coincidence, same name and surname but this one is a psychologist) did not make them change the obstinate stance. BTW having a quick look at the above opinions I see a phrase like "who generally does not recognize their own errors when confronted to them", words like "combative", "incivility" and even "not trustable". The last couple of words should be enough to withdraw any candidature, at least for me. Sorry, "no buttons", better. Better for the project and better for you too, Jura1. (BTW many thanks for your thousands of correct, useful contributions.) Best wishes to all, and season's greetings. --E4024 (talk) 02:49, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per reasons above. I am also concerned that Jura1 would be too stubborn to undo any controversial changes. - Nikki (talk) 15:11, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think Jura would make good use of these tools and can be trusted with them. I note the above oppose votes, but in all of my engagements with them over the last year or so (including points where we disagree) have been constructive. Thanks.

Weak support, I don't think that Jura1 will abuse his tools. Nadzik (talk) 09:31, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

edit- Can you link to some examples of requests you have made? --Rschen7754 05:07, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Sure, here are some: MediaWiki_talk:Gadget-ReasonatorTools.js, MediaWiki_talk:Pageinfo-footer, MediaWiki talk:Wikibase-statementsection-identifiers/it, several trivial ones at MediaWiki_talk:Wikibase-SortedProperties. Also User talk:Tohaomg/rearrange values.js, but, as it's in userspace, it's not really an edit request. --- Jura 17:18, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
