[edit] Drini

Final (61/0/0) 06:12 14 September 2005 (UTC) Drini (talk • contribs) - Drini is a dedicated and fast hunter of vandals who has been with us since February, and in earnest since May. Drini has also made a number of contributions to the article namespace, especially on the topic of mathematics. I think that giving Drini the mop, bucket and shotgun will be a great boost to our anti-vandalism efforts. --Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:12, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept the nomination -- (☺drini♫|☎) 18:37, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Support

  1. Support. As the nominator, of course! Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:13, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
  2. Support, seems like a good candidate, over 1400 edits in main namespace and over 700 in Wikipedia namespace. — JIP | Talk 06:49, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
  3. Support. A dedicated RC-patroller. Someone who even bothers to emulate the standard rollback edit summary by hand (or by script?) deserves to get access to the real thing ;-) jni 07:19, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
  4. Support, seems to have a good eye with regards to maintaining quality. -- Egil 09:07, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

  9. Support. Kirill Lokshin 13:30, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
  10. Support I was fooled into thinking that Drini is already an admin by the fact that he reverts vandalism with an edit summary as produced by the admin rollback tool. :) By the way, Drini is one of the post prolific contributors to PlanetMath. Oleg Alexandrov 15:13, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
  11. Support. Drini seems to be all over the place doing RC patrol. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 20:11, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
  12. Support Nice work with the new -n templates. --PhilipO 20:28, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
  13. Support, I actually thought Drini was an admin for the reason Oleg stated. Great vandal fighter. Jaxl | talk 20:39, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
  14. Support. One of the good guys. Andre (talk) 21:01, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

  15. Journalist C./ Holla @ me!

  16. BRIAN0918 • 2005-09-7 21:40
  17. Support His contributions to tackling vandalism are stellar, and he is experienced with over 3500+ edits. I hope adminship does not interfere with your gallant battle with vandals! :)--Knucmo2 22:48, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
  18. Support, had me fooled too. Rje 23:51, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
  19. OMFG Support! -- BD2412 talk 00:58, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  20. Support \times \infty! android79 01:07, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
  21. Support. Thunderbrand 01:25, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
  22. Support. I really am gonna have to read WP:LA because I keep seeing people at RfA I thought were admins! Redwolf24 (talk) 02:06, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  23. Support, I have been working with Drini over at WP:PNT for a while now and have built a very positive impression of him. I am sure that he will make good use of sysop rights. However, please remeber that I am still the admin-in-charge at PNT, even after you are promoted. ;) --Sn0wflake 03:40, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  24. Support. 4000+ edits since february 2005, comments 99.9% of it. This guy is a vandal slayer. Quality contributions, and obviously an intelligent person. He deserves the extra buttons. - R Lee E (talk, contribs) 06:47, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
  25. Support Good user --Ryan Delaney talk 08:21, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  26. Support Really did think you were one! Ral315 12:59, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
  27. Support - Trevor MacInnis(Talk | Contribs) 13:38, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  28. Full Support per R Lee E; also shared Oleg and Jaxl's confusion because of these (helpful) edit summaries.—encephalonέγκέφαλος  15:12:54, 2005-09-08 (UTC)
  29. Support: Drini is a first-rate vandal-hunter. Owen× ☎ 15:53, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  30. Support - no explanation needed, as the record speaks for itself. --Scimitar parley 17:16, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  31. Support. All of my dealings with Drini have been positive. Zoe 18:50, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
  32. Support. Noticed his good handling of vandalism when he was still a newbie, and am happy to support now. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 19:05, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  33. Strong support. BTW not to steal Drini's thunder or anything, but the edit summaries are from using "godmode light", a script by Sam Hocevar which emulates the rollback function for non-admins, and which I highly recommend. the wub "?/!" 19:17, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  34. Support Per everybody else. Molotov (talk) 21:05, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  35. Support I've noticed Drini's work and value the input he makes. Alf melmac 21:10, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  36. I thought he was an admin already because of his rollback edit summaries—he shouldn't be making those, because they're misleading, but nevertheless he seems to do enough vandal-fighting that he ought to have a real rollback button. Everyking 22:36, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  37. Support I've only seen good things from this guy/gal. Ryan Norton T | @ | C 23:55, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  38. Support. ITHWO - GHTM! Nufy8 00:01, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
  39. Support; truly excellent candidate, and gives me an opportunity to use the cliché (it sure looked like he has the rollback tool!). Superb contributor and vandal-fighter. Antandrus (talk) 01:51, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
  40. Strong Support. I keep bumping into Drini's edits all the time: a very trustworthy and responsible user... FireFox  T C E 18:16, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
  41. Support. No big deal. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 19:43, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
  42. Yup. Post Drini at the Wiki gates with the required weaponry. Them vandal varmints won't be crossin' us agin! Grutness...wha? 04:45, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

  45. Support absolutely. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:12, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
  46. Support - I see Drini RC'ing all the time; he'll make good use of the TurboMop! FreplySpang (talk) 14:44, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

  53. Support vandals should beware! -Splash 06:59, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  54. Annoying as Drini almost always zaps vandals faster than me. - brenneman(t)(c) 07:23, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  55. Support - very responsible and professional editor. --Ixfd64 08:05, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  56. Support - Extreme lesbian support! --Phroziac (talk) 15:13, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
As it was pointed, most of the chores I do relate to RC patrol but will also help clearing backlogs. The admin is handy, but editingship (that everybody has) is a bigger deal than adminship .
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
Well, my most cherished contributions are the pictures enhancing math entries, which I will continue making. I'm also particulary proud of the expansion to Rouche's theorem, since I felt that the entry as it was before, was intelligible only to very specialized people, whereas pictures and geometric intuition always help. I'm also fond of my {{test*-n}} templates, but they aren't of that a big contribution. Finally I don't know if it counts as a contribution, but I like translating articles for WP:PNT.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
I have been involved in a controversy with Rktect user relating measurement units entries, although I cannot say it really stressed me. The way to deal with such issues, is to document statements, backup claims, and present cases to the proper channels. But I don't really think I'm prone to wikistress, if something stresses me, I just go for a walk and do some other thing for a while..
