[edit] Nv8200p

Final (25/0/1) ending 16:01 September 12, 2005 (UTC) Nv8200p (talk • contribs) - Nv8200p is extraordinarily active on WP:IFD, dealing with many cases of obsolete, unsourced, and duplicate images daily. He's been at Wikipedia since August 2003 and has 8200+ edits, with about 1700 in the article space, 1800 in the Wikipedia space, and almost 3000 in the image space. He is interested and capable, and I believe he would be a great asset to our admin team. --Andre (talk) 16:01, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

I accept the nomination and thank Andre and MarkSweep for their kind words and encouragement.

Support

  1. Enthusiastic support. Was about to nominate him myself; thanks for allowing me to cast the first support vote. Nv8200p has put tremendous effort into WP:IFD, listing dozens of images each day, and now we need his help dealing with the resulting backlog. ;-) I have reason to believe that has made a lot more than 3000 edits in the image namespace, since most of his recent edits in that namespace consist of adding {{ifd}} tags to image pages, and those edits are lost and not counted when an image gets deleted. --MarkSweep✍ 16:23, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

Neutral

  1. Oppose - this vote demonstrates a current misunderstanding about VfD (Images should be deleted even if the VfD is a clear no-consensus even before it was nominated?) Neutral or perhapas it demonstrats a current misunderstanding about IfD, by me, though this is a policy to change - see my comments on the pump shortly. Hipocrite - «Talk» 12:41, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
    I'd interpret Nv8200p's comment to mean that if an article was nominated for deletion (per a VfD/AfD), and if an image associated exclusively with that article is up for deletion as well (on IfD), then that image should be deleted, pending the outcome of the VfD/AfD. This is entirely consistent with current IfD policies: if the result of the VfD is a consensus to delete, and the article is deleted, then the image is orphaned and it can potentially (depending on what it depicts) be considered as unencyclopedic. Those are two valid and very common reasons for listing an image on IfD, according to current policy and practice. Also keep in mind that this is just a vote: I don't see any evidence that Nv8200p would delete an image if the consensus was to keep. --MarkSweep✍ 12:05, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Comments

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.)
I would be glad to help with maintenance on Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion and Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images and any other areas as needed..
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
I'm most pleased with the articles Armadillo World Headquarters and Austin Aqua Festival. I spent a couple of hours researching each at the Austin History Center and I think the articles are well layed out and informative..
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 not had any editing conflicts. Other users edits to articles I've worked on have been proper and useful. I have not received any great complaints about edits I have done, just occasional questions as to why I did what I did..
