Welcome, Magister Mathematicae!

Come introduce yourself in the general reading room or your project in the project reading room. If you have any questions, you can ask in the assistance reading room or contact me personally.

Are you a Global Sysop? I noticed that you recently deleted several vandalised pages so I presume that you are.

 * He is a Steward (welcome!). Global Sysops aren't always allowed to delete pages (e.g., they can't delete based on content decisions like "out of project scope"). I haven't looked at the ones deleted here but they probably fell into the pure vandalism and hence global sysop scope. I'm rambling. QU TalkQu 11:03, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Actually, last night, very late, an IP started vandalizing several projects, you can see on * http://toolserver.org/~luxo/contributions/contributions.php?user=216.66.161.75 so I blocked him across all wikimedia. And seeing the vandalism he spread, I thought I would help and clean up the projects before I went to sleep.

I apologize if I did wrong and I won't do it again on enwikibooks if it caused any problem. Magister Mathematicae (discuss • contribs) 15:02, 22 February 2012 (UTC)


 * You did nothing wrong and we are grateful. Feel free to help out any time. It's quite "admin light" here so there are periods when nobody is around so we do appreciate the global sysops and stewards stepping in to help - thanks. QU TalkQu 15:58, 22 February 2012 (UTC)


 * No problem whatsoever. I was just curious because the user rights pages didn't list any particular rights for your account - maybe that could be changed in future software upgrades?  I blocked him locally and had wondered why nobody had blocked him earlier but a global block explains why.  All pages deleted were entirely justified and, as far as I know, Wikibooks has no problem with global sysops doing such actions.  The hours between 3am UTC and about 9am UTC are not well monitored by sysops because it's the middle of the night / early morning in Europe and night in the Americas which is where most of our sysops and bureaucrats are located.  Thanks for your help.--ЗAНИA [[Image:Flag_of_Italy.svg|15px]]talk 21:10, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
