Nomination statement (250 words max.)
  • Hello, I'm Ponyo and I am nominating myself for both the Oversight and Checkuser permissions. I have been a Wikipedia editor for over five years and an admin since February 2011. You can usually find me helping with unblock reuqests on UTRS (where the CU tool is helpful) and helping article subjects in the Quality/BLP queue on OTRS (where oversight is a benefit). I'm a current member of the Audit Subcommittee so I am familiar with the use of both CU and OS tools as well as the Foundation's Privacy Policy. I would like to be able to retain the tools once my AUSC appointment expires in February 2013 in order to assist the functionaries on a more detailed and consistent basis.
Standard questions for all candidates

Please describe any relevant on-Wiki experience you have for this role.

  • I have experience in dealing with some prolific sockmasters and their various accounts. I seem to have a certain knack for picking up on small queues that convey relationships between accounts, although in many cases master accounts tend to be rather unimaginative in choosing usernames and article targets. In addition to behavioural evidence I have also used available tools such as Editor Interaction Analyzer and also have the advanced CIDR/wildcard search gadget enabled in my preferences. As I currently have access to the CU tool I have also assisted in reviewing unblock requests that involve sockpuppetry.

Please outline, without breaching your personal privacy, what off-Wiki experience or technical expertise you have for this role.

  • My former “real world” career consisted of raw data analysis, interpretation and presentation.

Do you hold advanced permissions (checkuser, oversight, bureaucrat, steward) on this or other WMF projects? If so, please list them. Also, do you have OTRS permissions? If so, to which queues?

  • I have Checkuser and Oversight on en-wikipedia (as part of the Audit Subcommittee). I am also a member of the OTRS team where I have full info-en queue access (including the quality/BLP queue), as well as photsubmissions, permissions, and oversight queue access.
Questions for this candidate
  • Suppose that a law enforcement officer comes to you with a search warrant for a user's IP history, and orders you to use the CU tool and supply them with all information that it produces. What do you do? Pine✉ 01:33, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
