== Sysop rights on Arabic wikipedia ==
Dear Sir,
I am writing to you because I lost my sysop rights on Arabic wikipedia today. It's abuse from another sysop who is making rules as he wants. First he made the control period between 07.01.2018 to 07.07.2018 and then suddenly changed it to 19.01.2018 to 19.07.2018 (just to show that I did less than the required number of sysop edits, because I did't edit from the 16th of July to 29th of July, because of my work as a doctor --> the rule says that a sysop must do 30 sysop edits every 6 months). It is an abuse of power here to change the rules as one wants. Dear Sir, I beg you to give me my sysop rights back. Thank you very much.--[[User:DrFO.Tn|DrFO.Tn]] ([[User talk:DrFO.Tn|talk]]) 21:48, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
* Why does this Sysop asked only for deleting my Sysop rights? There are other Sysops who edited much less than the requested edits and still are Sysops. The rule applies for all. This is pure abuse from that Sysop. Thank you very much for understanding me and give me my Sysop rights back.--[[User:DrFO.Tn|DrFO.Tn]] ([[User talk:DrFO.Tn|talk]]) 22:19, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
:The removal of sysop right is correct, and there's a discussion in arwiki about this user reaction '''--'''[[User:علاء |<font size="3" face="Script MT Bold" style="color:black;">Alaa</font> ]] [[User_talk:علاء |:)..!]] 06:46, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
{{comment}} {{reply|DrFO.Tn}} That's incorrect. I did not make policies as I want. I just applied the policy approved by the community. The policy says that a sysop must do 30 sysop edits within 6 months not '''EVERY''' as you said. Also, I did not just request to remove your sysop rights. In 2018, I submitted almost 4 requests to remove the sysop rights of approximately 4 administrators and you can see the requests. I am only applying the policy. Thanks.--<span style="font-family: Andalus; font-size: 15px; text-shadow: silver 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em;"><font color="FF000000">[[User:فيصل|'''Faisal ''']]</font><sup>[[User talk:فيصل|talk]]</sup></span> 12:31, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
