Bot flag für Addbot

Könntest du bitte mal einen Blick auf diese Anfrage werfen? Das Vollschützen deiner Diskussionsseite trägt allerdings nicht gerade zu deiner Erreichbarkeit als Bürokrat bei, vor allem da du der einzige aktive zu sein scheinst. Grüße, Vogone (SWMT) 17:32, 4. Apr 2013 (CEST)

Das Botflag wurde erteilt. --BBKurt (Klaafe) 20:00, 4. Apr 2013 (CEST)

Danke för dat Flag un dat Ophevve vum Sigge Schotz. Jröß, Vogone (SWMT) 20:17, 4. Apr 2013 (CEST)

Port Moresby Stock Exchange

Hallo BBKurt,

auf der Alemannischen Wikipedia verfolge ich ja seit langem ein Projekt zu Papua-Neuguinea. Da habe ich doch gleich Deine Anregung aufgenommen und auf alswiki ebenfalls einen Artikel zum Port Moresby Stock Exchange verfasst.

Gruß, --Holder (Klaafe) 19:46, 11. Jun 2013 (CEST)

Schön, dass es interessierte Leser gibt. Für ein Projekt reicht es bei ksh wohl nie! Gruß --BBKurt (Klaafe) 20:38, 11. Jun 2013 (CEST)

John Cale

Hi, I noticed that you have created article about Joan Baez. Thank you for them. Should I request to you, you would want to create at least a short article for John Cale (en • de • fr) (founding member of The Velvet Underground)? Thank you in advance for any resolution. --88.103.182.75 13:54, 14. Sep 2013 (CEST)

Thank you very much! --88.103.182.75 16:36, 20. Sep 2013 (CEST)

Wikicon 2013

Hallo BBKurt.

Von 22. bis 24. November findet in Karlsruhe die WikiCon 2013 statt. Ich werde dort einen Workshop zum Thema "Wikipedien in kleinen Sprachen" organisieren. Du bist herzlich eingeladen, nach Karlsruhe zu kommen und mitzudiskutieren. Die offizielle Anmeldung läuft bis zum 23. Oktober. Vielleicht könnten wir uns da auch mal über mögliche Strategien zur Neubelebung der Ripuarischen Wikipedia austauschen. Gruß, --Holder (Klaafe) 08:21, 7. Okt 2013 (CEST)

Hallo Holder,

vielen Dank für die Einladung. Leider kann ich nicht teilnehmen, denke aber, dass dir die Probleme der ksh-Wikipedia genau bekannt sind. Meine Einstellung zu dieser Wikipedia habe ich ebenfalls oft genug demonstriert, so dass hier auch keine Zweifel bestehen sollten. Gleichzeitig haben wir mehrfach aktuelle Probleme diskutiert, Schwierigkeiten, die - soweit mir bekannt ist - keine andere Dialekt-Wikipedia besitzt.

Ich unterstütze eventuell gefasste Entschlüsse zum Überleben der ksh-Wikipedia, sehe jedoch kaum eine realistische Chance.

Gruß --BBKurt (Klaafe) 23:58, 8. Okt 2013 (CEST)

Hallo BBKurt, die Ripuarische Wikipedia braucht keine Entschlüsse, sondern mehr Mitarbeiter, das ist das grundsätzliche Problem. Und da hat sie durchaus Parallelen zu anderen kleinen Wikipedien. Und dass eine eingeschlafene Wikipedia gar keine realistische Chance hat, glaube ich nicht. Nur mal als Beispiel: die Maltesische Wikipedia war rund drei Jahre praktisch inaktiv und dann haben vor ca. einem Jahr wieder Leute angefangen Artikel zu schreiben, warum sollte das nicht auch in der Ripuarischen Wp irgendwann so kommen? Es braucht einfach ganz neue Leute, nicht die alten von vor sechs Jahren. P.S.: Morgen bin ich übrigens in Aachen, da komme ich auf der Fahrt immer am Bahnhof Stolberg vorbei :-). Gruß, --Holder (Klaafe) 08:29, 9. Okt 2013 (CEST)

Schöne Weihnachten

Hallo BBKurt,

ich wünsche Dir und Deiner Familie schöne Weihnachten und ein gutes Neus Jahr.

Ich freue mich über jeden neuen Autor. Gruß ~~BBKurt

Kleiner Hinweis

Kleiner Hinweis an den Hauptautor von Stillleben mit Bierkrug und Obst: der Artikel existiert in der deutschen Version schon länger. Nun habe ich auch den Artikel Stillleben mit Kaffeetopf und Blumen geschrieben. Beide Gemälde wurden lange Zeit von Gogh zugeschrieben, sie sind aber nicht von van Gogh. --Atamari (Klaafe) 11:21, 30.

Adminkandidatur

Hallo BBKurt,

nachdem Jüppsche und Düüwelskääl seit über einem Jahr inakjtiuv sind, kandidiere ich hier als Admin.

Köbes-Wahl

Die Köbes-Wahl ist ja nunn vorbei, leider hast nur Du abgestimmt. Gültig ist die Wahl nach den Regeln aber dennoch. Gruß, --Holder (Klaafe) 12:37, 6. Mäz 2014 (CET)

Ich gratuliere zur Wahl. Dass es zu keiner weiteren Stimmabgabe gekommen ist - mich hat es nicht überrascht. Gruß --BBKurt

Danke, kannst Du mir noch die Adminrechte geben? Du bist doch hier Bürokrat ... :-) --Holder (Klaafe) 06:02, 7. Mäz 2014 (CET)

Request for username change : Hosiryuhosi -> Rxy

Hello. Could you please change my username?

• Current username: Hosiryuhosi
• Target username: Rxy
• Reason: I want to change my current username to short username at WMF wikis globally. Note: Global account "Rxy" is my account (confirm). I'm sorry for request to here. I can't find request page. Thanks. --Hosiryuhosi (Klaafe) 20:26, 8. Mäz 2014 (CET)

The name was changed as requested. Regards --BBKurt (Klaafe) 21:53, 8. Mäz 2014 (CET)

Thanks for moving my user page. However I want to change my user name to rxy. It should use Special:RenameUser. Regards, --Hosiryuhosi (Klaafe) 13:29, 19. Mäz 2014 (CET)

I tried a rename but received the following message "Dä Metmaacher-Name „Rxy“ es för en jemeinsame Aanmeldung reserveet. Do künne mer nix drop ömnenne." It means that Rxy is reserved for use in all wikipedias. A rename is not possible. Please try to use Rxy at the ksh-wikipedia. It should work. Regards --BBKurt (Klaafe)

User:JhsBot

Hi, could you please remove bot status from my bot JhsBot? I only used it for interwiki on this wiki, and since we now have Wikidata, the bot is obsolete. Thanks in advance! Jon Harald Søby (Klaafe) 16:52, 17. Auj 2014 (CEST)

Done!--BBKurt (Klaafe)

WikiCon 2014 in Köln

An important message about renaming users

Dear BBKurt, My aplogies for writing in English. Please translate or have this translated for you if it will help. I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.

As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.

Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.

The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.

Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.

In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.

Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.

Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk 20:24, 25. Auj 2014 (CEST)
