Hi, I would like to request permanent custodianship on Beta Wikiversity. I have previously served as a custodian and actively supported maintenance. Many existing custodians, such as User:Encore007, have been inactive for years, and others have very few actions and are mostly inactive for months, creating gaps in regular upkeep. I am ready to help consistently and take on the necessary responsibilities.--(talk) 10:49, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For my part, you have only been here too recently for me to make an informed judgement about your work. However, initial indications suggest a good start. I would wait a little longer before making a final decision. The option of temporary status during a probationary period of three to six months seems to me to be the better option.

@Crochet.david Fair enough. Since I’ve already served three months, I don’t mind a six-month probationary period. I’d just prefer to reduce the number of applications from my side.--

Well, I don't have enough confidence in you to trust you as a permanent custodian here. You've also occasionally stopped contributing here for a period of time, and I think your claims alone are insufficient. This isn't about your contributions, but about your activities. However, I still do not oppose your custodian activities here as a temporary custodian. --Sotiale (talk) 08:06, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your feedback. I hope you will assess the situation from a neutral point of view, and I also hope nothing from our previous conversations has caused any misunderstanding. This platform’s norm is to make someone a permanent custodian after serving as a temporary custodian, and I feel it is a bit unfair when this standard is not applied consistently. Regarding my activity as a sysop:

I am a sysop/administrator on a sister project, Wikimedia Incubator, where I currently rank 5th among the active administrators.
I am also a sysop/administrator on Multilingual Wikisource, where I rank 4th among the active administrators.

Here, I previously served as a temporary custodian for 3 months, after which another active user, AtUkr, served their 3-month term. While there was an active custodian, I respectfully stepped back and allowed them to work without disruption. I am applying now because there is currently no very active custodian, and I would like to help maintain the project effectively. Thank you for considering my request.--

I'm not entirely sure why a permanent custodianship is necessary; do you have long-term plans for managing the project in general rather than the Sylheti testwiki in particular? If so, please share them. Beta Wikiversity isn't as big or active as to warrant heavy oversight. It does need a thorough cleanup - I wasn't able to perform a proper one due to IRL business, but I do think that a less busy person could manage it in months as a temporary custodian. I would happily

Support a 6 month custodianship. AtUkr (talk) 22:44, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

comment: Hi friend, just stick around, when people know you and your contributions even more, things will be okay... --Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 11:31, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. I truly appreciate it.--
