Wikiquote:Requests for adminship/Abramsky (vote of confidence)

I will notify the stewards. BD2412 T 02:27, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

As of 07 March 2019 Abramsky has been globally locked by WMF Office action as a globally banned user. Details on exactly why don't appear to be forthcoming but given that it was done as an OA, with basically no explanation, I presume there are privacy issues involved.

Regardless, it is a bit of housekeeping on our end to remove the only advanced user right the account has on any project. So with the necessary quorum of three users in the thread at WQ:AN, I'm opening this discussion. G M G talk  14:47, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

 * They’re a sock of an already globally banned user; nothing to do with privacy afaict. Remove. Vermont (talk) 13:52, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Remove as a globally banned user. (WMF only lists them once, without naming all the sockpuppets when they sneak back in and even repeatedly weasel their way into admin positions.) ~ Ningauble (talk) 14:58, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy remove He can't do any of the things an admin can or should do. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:31, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * As much common sense as it may make to summarily removed advanced permissions from an account which is apparently a sock of a globally banned user, I don't believe there is anything currently in local or global policy allowing for this. At any rate, with he account locked, the permissions can't be used anyway, and this is more of a housekeeping task than anything else.  G M G  talk  19:00, 18 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Remove, based on the ban. ~ UDScott (talk) 18:32, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Note that the flags were removed by WMF later after the lock. The user is no longer an administrator since [ 12 March 2019]. MarcoAurelio (talk) 19:11, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Five days later, like an afterthought. ~ Ningauble (talk) 00:47, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's quite unfortunate that they a) didn't notify a project that one of their admins had been locked as an office action, b) didn't immediately remove advanced rights, and c) didn't notify us when they eventually did. At the very least, this has run it's required length, and can probably be closed.  G M G  talk  01:14, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
