Nomination statement (250 words max.)

• Hello everyone, I am Salvio giuliano, an editor, an administrator and a member of the Audit Subcommittee, here on Misplaced Pages. I am putting my name forward to keep the tools, I was granted in my capacity as an auditor, after the expiration of my term. While I originally thought I would not use these permissions while serving as a member of the Subcommittee, after noticing the various backlogs, I started doing some checks – mainly dealing with the uncontroversial cases or with the ones where a check is needed, such as account or UTRS unblock requests – and suppressing a couple of edits which contained clear privacy violations or self-disclosures by minors.

  I believe I have been a net positive, even though I have just dealt with the more uncontroversial cases – owing to my intention to avoid the ones that might end up before the Audit Subcommitee, in order not to place my fellow auditors in an awkward position – and I would like to keep doing this. That is why I’m asking the community and the Arbitration Committee to grant me both the checkuser and the oversight user rights on a permanent basis.

Standard questions for all candidates

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

I have served as an auditor since February and I have also acted as an oversighter since then. Apart from that, I have often used the revdel tool and, before being granted the oversight user right, I made various requests that edits be suppressed and they were all accepted.

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

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?

As an auditor, I hold both the oversight and checkuser user rights and I have access to the oversight-en-wp OTRS queue.

Questions for this candidate

• Please describe your familiarity with the Wikimedia Privacy Policy, Meta Oversight Policy, ENWP Oversight policy, and ENWP Outing policy. Also, without breaching privacy, for each of these policies, give an example of a time that you have used the policy when evaluating a situation or taking action. Pine 01:21, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
  • As an auditor, I have familiarised myself with all these policies as I need to thoroughly know them to fulfill my duties — which is why I periodically re-read them to make sure I remember them correctly. That said, when acting as an oversighter, it is quite rare to have to deal with the Foundation's privacy policy or with the global oversight policy, because they are more general — in particular, the privacy policy regulates which private data are gathered, who can access them and when they can be released to third parties —. Oversighters usually have to interpret en.wiki's oversight policy, which builds upon these two policies, along with WP:OUTING, in certain cases, to determine whether one or more edits are eligible for suppression.

    Having acted as an oversighter since my appointment to the AUSC, I have had to evaluate whether an edit contained non-public personal information multiple times. And, as a consequence, I have suppressed various edits containing references to real names, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, along with the occasional self-disclosures by apparent minors.

• How do you reconcile your use of "butthurtness" ( on 22nd June) to generally ridicule others expressing opinions in a user block discussion, along with the inflammatory description "disgraceful kangaroo court" with the exemplary civil and respectful behaviour our community requires of Oversight members?

• Support My past interactions and observations of Salvio have impressed me with his maturity, his patient demeanor when dealing with difficult subjects and/or editors. I think that he will do fine with these tools. GregJackP Boomer! 02:17, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
• Support see CU section. Nobody Ent 02:43, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
• I have seen Salvio a lot over the last year and have no doubt in his ability to properly apply the oversight policy. Full disclosure: If Salvio is selected, I will become a member of WP:AUSC in his place as the current alternate member. MBisanz 02:57, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
  • To clarify (and echo Risker's comments on Ponyo's page) should either Ponyo or Salvio be appointed, the appointment(s) would not take effect until the end of their AUSC term, unless the appointee(s) should choose to resign from AUSC. Hersfold non-admin 15:52, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
• Support-He will use the tools for the good of the community.--Shrike (talk) 11:04, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
• Support - same reason as I gave for my Support for CU position. VolunteerMarek 21:56, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
• Like everyone else, I see him as an exceptionally level headed individual who I would only expect to do good things with the extra tools. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 00:36, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
• I support Salvio in both regards. If tools are limited and he could only do one, this constitutes my first choice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by My76Strat (talk • contribs) 01:44, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
• Support Man, are you available 24x7 on Misplaced Pages.--Ankit Maity_Contribs 16:01, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
• Salvio has demonstrated that he has the maturity and judgement needed to handle thos task. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:25, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
• Usually very good, rarely impulsive. Better than expected performance.
