Since I assume people would want a reason why I am specifically requesting the rights permanently as opposed to temporarily through steward access, all I can say is my extensive use of the tool over the past month. A majority of oversights on this wiki are from me either by request or users self releasing their IPs in a way not preferred. While adding oversight to the steward's permissions is an option, keeping the two rights separate is best for separation of responsibilities. If I do get access permanently, Stewards will still be able to do temp oversighting as appropriate as I clearly will not be able to cover 24 hours, then again I am the one who does most of the oversighting so that situation might not occur all that often. So, I am only requesting the right permanently as how the right is currently managed in my opinion is starting to create unnecessary right logs as well as additional work for me. If people (mainly fellow stewards) have queries of this, feel free to ask them under the comments section. John (talk) 22:32, 17 September 2013 (UTC)


 * 1) Support - Looking at the user rights log, it seems permanent oversight would be helpful to both stop John from spamming the user rights log and save time when he needs to OS a revision, which seems to happen often pretty often. John seems like one of the main guys using oversight, so I think he can be trusted with the permanent privilege. T C N7 JM 21:48, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
