Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/AdRiley

• ( let's comment rather than vote!). Perfect example of someone who really should have these rights. Been here a long time, dealt with plenty of the "grunt" work (particularly naming conventions etc), deals with vandalism. I trust this user & I'd be happy to grant these rights within 24 hours if no one else does or objects. ( is this the sort of process?!) --Herby ^{talk thyme} 09:38, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[]

  I've been waiting for AdRiley (and others) to request the permissions too. What's the deal here? Have they all fallen off the Earth? I'm going to nominate a few more of the ones we know in a minute. Let's at least get them to say they'll use the tools before giving them too.  – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 14:52, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[]

  Done - I misunderstood what was happening here. AdRiley requested the rights; I though Herby got tired of waiting (like me!) and did the nom. Well, this one's obvious, so I'm doing it now.  – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 15:04, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[]

I am no longer anywhere as near as active here as I once was and a result no longer require these tools. If I have need of them again in the future then I will re-apply as necessary. --AdRiley (talk) 09:53, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[]

I would like to thank you for the work you've done here, and I look forward to your return. The sooner, the better! --Jomegat (talk) 14:53, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[]

I don't know whether it's ever happened here, but on lots of other wikis, when a sysop in good standing (as AdRiley certainly is) resigns or has their tools removed while on break, they can simply be given back upon request by a bureaucrat. Would the community feel comfortable with that, of shall we require an RFA (which, I think, would be sure to pass)? You can request removal of your own tools at m:SRP & the stewards will handle it. Thanks indeed for all your hard work & I hope you will return in time.  — Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 15:02, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[]

I've made the request for him at Meta.  — Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 20:58, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[]

I don't see why should the request be made different from the normal process. Making it public to the community will not harm anyone, and will reduce any type of errors by keeping it transparent. We should consider also that for security reasons removing or expediting the process could be dangerous, at least as dangerous as letting admins+ keep the flags in the first place. --Panic (talk) 21:55, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[]

We all have noticed your efforts from welcoming new users, fighting vandalism to the great work done fixing incorrectly named pages. Thanks for all the work and time you have given to the project. --Panic (talk) 21:55, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[]

Done, thanks for the work You did, best regards, --birdy _{(:> )=|} 07:46, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[]
