- Nomination statement (250 words max.)
- Hello everyone, I am Salvio giuliano, an editor, an administrator and a member of the Audit Subcommittee, here on Wikipedia. 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 been involved in various SPIs in the past, both as filer and as reviewing admin – and, since being granted the checkuser permission, in that capacity as well – and I’ve also blocked many more obvious ducks without filing SPIs when their quacking was particularly deafening. Furthermore, as many experienced users, I’ve become proficient at spotting certain repeat sockpuppeteers almost instantly.
Please outline, without breaching your personal privacy, what off-Wiki experience or technical expertise you have for this role.
- To be honest, my technical expertise is somewhat limited, though I think I’m fairly computer literate. I can read and understand a WHOIS, geolocate an IP, determine an IP range and identify user agents. And I also have the benefit of having actually operated the checkuser extension and analysed its results.
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
- 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)
- While it is certainly possible that a checkuser may receive an external request for information, I believe that the likelihood of this happening is not really high — especially considering I live in Italy. However, in such a situation, I would first contact the Foundation to see if they can give me advice and, afterwards, I think I would also ask on the functionary mailing list, as I am sure the issue has already been discussed among them. I have never come across such a situation, so I apologise if my answer is not thorough.
As a final note, I wish to point out that, under the Foundation's privacy policy, one of the cases where Wikimedia volunteers and staff are allowed to release personally identifiable information is in response to a valid subpoena or other compulsory request from law enforcement.

- 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 did good job clerking ArbCom civility enforcement case. Nobody Ent 03:13, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

- Support Has a head on his shoulders (and a cool username), which is already a lot.VolunteerMarek 21:52, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
- Honestly, I thought he already was CU. Certainly one of the most level headed admins here, with excellent judgment. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 00:32, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- Salvio does good work at SPI and it makes sense that he should continue to have the tools to continue. —DoRD (talk) 00:39, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- Second Choice Solid work at SPI, close second behind DQ. Support. Sven Manguard Wha? 00:16, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
- I haven't an inkling of apprehension. My76Strat (talk) 00:28, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
- Clear Support Although we might not see more of Salvio's good work, because of his position on AUSC, he knows when to ask questions, and when to hold a solid foot, which is key in being a CheckUser. It means the difference between a block, and no block sometimes. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 02:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
- Support. Reasonable in the past, I expect will be in the future :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:28, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

- Support In every arena of WP that I have interacted with or seen Salvio function, I have been impressed with his professionalism and I fully trust him with checkuser rights.
