[edit] Water Bottle

final (48/1/0) ending 06:23, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Water Bottle (talk • contribs) – I don't have too much to brag. I've been here for over an year now, I've been active in "inactive" areas in Wikipedia such as WP:MF, and occasionally participate in AfD when I can. If relevant, I am an admin in Commons. -- WB 05:59, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Weak oppose, user shows no indication of familiarity with process, other than a bit of AFD voting. >Radiant< 11:33, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Are you sure about that? [1] shows way more edits other than the AfD-votes, even when we disregard the Hangman-edits.Image:Weather rain.pngSoothingR 12:35, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Not everything in Wikispace is a process. I hadn't noticed the FPC activity, but that was over half a year ago. My opinion is that since admins often adjudicate (or are otherwise involved in) process (e.g. *FD, VIP, FAC, RM etc) a candidate should have some experience with that before being mopified. >Radiant< 13:29, 5 February 2006 (UTC)


Neutral

  1. Looks good, edits seem balanced but lack of talk page edits. NSLE (T+C) 06:27, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Comments

  • Edit summary usage: 100% for major edits and 100% for minor edits. Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits outside the Wikipedia, User, Image, and all Talk namespaces. Mathbot 06:30, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A. I'm interested in helping out in deleting images (speedy or not) as I do in Commons. Also moving articles and various other tasks.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I've been active in WP:MF for the last few weeks, (that's why my edits are lowering down), where I have to contact various admins and ISPs who are mirroring Wikpedia without the correct copyrights. I made the templates and etc. for that project. Additionally, although somewhat inactive recently, I am responsible for creating the templates and basically most of the guessing system in WP:HM. Article contributions can be found here.
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?
A. I had some minor discussions over use of images (see User:Mike Garcia) and some templates, but none of them were major enough to note. I wasn't really stressed by any of them. As far as how I will deal with them in the future, I will go with assume good faith as much as possible and stay calm over the conversations.
4. Would you apply "ignore all rules" to your admin powers if you felt really strongly about something, even if other people disagreed? Ashibaka tock 23:28, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
A. Depends on what kind of rule it is. I would most likely obey the rules like WP:3RR and WP:MOS nonetheless unless it was an extreme case (which I have yet to encounter).
5. How would you respond if another admin undid one of your admin actions without discussing it with you first (e.g. (un)blocking, (un)protecting, (un)deleting)? Hermione1980 00:22, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
A. Simply ask.
