Thank you! You're very kind! The inspiration is reciprocal, my friend. In fact, I plan to catch up with you privately too over FB in the coming days as I have some questions for you that we can then move back to share on our WP talk pages, and possibly elsewhere. --ToniSant (talk) 10:20, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Għażiż Chris
Ilna ma narawk fuq il-Wikipedija. Jien biss mill-amministaruri għadni attiv. Għalhekk nixtieq naħtar lil Toni Sant bħala amministarur. Mingħalija int l-uniku burokrata, allura int biss tista' tagħmlu amministratur. Ma naħsibx li hemm bżonn li ngħaddu mill-proċedura formali la jiena u int biss hemm bħala amministraturi. Hawn ħa nħallilek l-informazzjoni dwaru.
Saħħiet u grazzi

Thanks for your invitation but I live in Dublin. Normally I visit Malta fairly frequently but at the moment it's not possible.

@Leli Forte: - jaħgmel sens dan kollu. Fil-fatt ridt nistaqsik dwar min għandu r-rwol ta' Bureaucrat u/jew SysOp fuq mt.Wikipedia għax dawn kollaboraturi essenzjali għall-amministraturi, speċjalment f'lingwa minuri bħal m'hi tagħna. Ikkonfondejt għax ma deher li ħadd li huwa attiv għandu dawn ir-rwoli fuq mt.wikimedia.
Thanks, Leli. I'll leave it to you to resolve the situation as you see fit. Experienced Wikimedia Movement colleagues will undoubtedly offer a helping hand if needs be. I'm more than happy to continue taking your lead on all this right now.
As for the invitation to join the next Wikimedia Community Malta gathering, I perhaps should have been clearer about the fact that this is now being held online, as we're all observing social distancing regulations, aside from the fact that we're not all based in Malta anyway. :-). You're still welcome to join us, if you wish, whenever it's convenient for you. We'll be live at this link on Thursdays and Fridays throughout April (except during the so-called Holy Week) starting at 6pm. In any case, I'm sure there will be other opportunities for us to meet in the foreseeable future, should you prefer that. --ToniSant (talk) 10:49, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Naqbel miegħek, imissna jkollna 4 amministraturi u tnejn minnhom għandhom ikunu burokrati u/jew SysOp. Forsi tista' tħajjar tnejn oħra mill-grupp tagħkom għal dan ix-xogħol. L-aħjar nistennew 'il Chris Portelli sal-aħħar tal-ġimgħa, jekk ma' jweġibx, forsi tista' tissuġġerili kif nistgħu nipproċedu. Jekk tippreferi li nitkellmu bl-email ibgħatli l-indirizz fuq messenger jekk ma tridux jidher hawn.

Saħħiet

Leli Forte (talk) 09:23, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Grazzi ħafna, @Leli Forte:. Għaddejtlek l-indirizz tiegħi tal-email fuq il-messenger. Iva, m'hemmx għalfejn inkomplu nieħdu moħħ kulħadd hawn anke jekk it-trasparenza fil-proċess tal-ħatra tiegħi bħala amministratur fuq mt.wikipedia tajjeb li titkompla, speċjalment jekk mhux każ li niġi elett regolarment. Nistennew lil Chris Portelli sal-aħħar tal-ġimgħa u mmexxu skond ma jiġri. Inċidentalment, tista' anke tibgħatli email minn hawn jekk għandek indirizz tal-email abbinat mal-kont tiegħek bħala utent fuq Wikipedia. Saħħa dejjem! --ToniSant (talk) 09:44, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Administrator on Maltese Wikipedia

Hi ToniSant,

Apologies for the late reply. I have now completed the approval for your administrator candidacy and you should now have the appropriate roles. Congratulations on your new role and all the best in this project :)

Chrisportelli (talk) 07:34, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Chrisportelli: thank you very much for this! I am thrilled not only to take on the role but also to see that you're active again on mt.wikipedia. @Leli Forte: and I keen to reignite the proper administration of mt.wikipedia and would love your input as we proceed. I, for one, would love to hear your thoughts on serving as a sysop on the Maltese-language Wikipedija over the past several years. We can do this on-wiki either here or, preferably, on mt.wikipedia but if you prefer to do it off-wiki I'm sure that would be better than no further communication. :) --ToniSant (talk) 10:02, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
