*going to go with an {{oppose}} here, while I applaud your efforts and acknowledge you've been helpful but I personally believe the GA toolset is too advanced for someone who has little presence outside their own wiki. I don't think simply having experience managing your own wiki makes you qualified for such a large hat. I would suggest trying to build a helpful presence such as on our Discord or here on meta.

* This is not a voting comment but I will say that Sapphire Jack has a very thankless role with experience that is unique even among the current crew of global volunteers. It takes real effort to keep a community with heavy appeal to rambunctious children in order, and to do that actively. And Sapphire is at the top of that list, not just any moderator on the team. Now I address Sapphire directly. I think there is reasonable concern that a global role like this requires somewhat different skills from maintaining a single, although large community. These are things I'm sure you could learn and your second answer is very promising. I think people would be generally more comfortable with you as Global Patroller where you can be included in global affairs and get an idea how they work/prove that capability, and then expand to larger access. But relative to the current volunteers I don't think your competence is out of range for advancing straight to Global Administrator. Regardless what you get, I wish you the best of luck and I'm pleased you're looking into something new like this. --'''[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]''' '''('''[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]''')''' 22:19, 14 May 2026 (UTC) | * This is not a voting comment but I will say that Sapphire Jack has a very thankless role with experience that is unique even among the current crew of global volunteers.

* I'm going to drop a {{support}} here. Your work handling the challenge that IBW can has been impressive and you've always seemed easy to work with. I think there's definitely some global training that is needed, but you seem willing to learn and your answers to questions don't raise any major red flags.

*: Changing to {{oppose}} for a few reasons. I've monitored a few discussions between stewards and the candidate and they seem to show a fundamental lack of understanding of what a global administrator does and what they should not do. I wasn't initially planning to fully oppose, however, the candidate has [[w:WP:CANVASS|canvassed]] users to this discussion, which is far below what I expect of a GA.

*I'll go ahead and drop a {{support}}. You have a clue and are not a jerk. This role isn't a big deal anyways, it doesn't include PII access or even global locks.

* {{oppose|weak}} While I believe your work in keeping IBW from exploding is extremely respectable. I don't think you have enough interactions on meta here or have any credibility elsewhere I have observed, I would rather you be Global Patroller for a bit to learn how WikiOasis Global Enforcement works first before expanding, basically referencing Crystalite here.
