[edit] Dueyfinster

Final (0/15/0) ended 18:58, 14 January 2006 (UTC) (original time ending 20:49 Sat Jan 21, 8.30 (UTC))

Dueyfinster (talk • contribs) – I have been a member of Wikipedia since March 26, 2005. I patrol recent changes and nearly always put explanations and/or reasons for actions I take. When I do not it is most likely I am editing from my PDA or my phone, these input methods being restrictive, so I just take the vandalism out. I have read extensively and am familiar with how Wikipedia works. I support various groups within Wikipedia, such as counter vandalism, no personal attacks, neutrality, Wikipedians against censorship and I am an inclusionist. I have also contributed to WikiNews. Although I have a relatively low edit count, I see the length of my membership (approaching a year) and my quality of edits as important. Why do I want to become a Sysop? I feel it will help me no-end in helping Wikipedia stay the best free information resource, by fighting vandalism and encouraging participation. --Duey Finster 20:49, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Support

Oppose

1. Oppose, suggest withdrawal. Nomination statement decietful. Christopher Parham (talk) 21:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
2. Oppose. Inexperience, lack of edit summaries, very few project namespace edits, a self-nom with no answers to questions, and only 111 edits (with most of them edits to own user page). I recommend you become an active Wikipedia editor, make some quality mainspace contributions, and get involved with the Wikipedia namespace, for a successful RfA in the future. For now, I also suggest withdrawal. — TheKMan^talk 21:21, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
3. Oppose too few edits. --NaconKantari 21:26, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
4. Oppose. Edit count isn't everything, but with out edit I can't see how you contribute histroically. Not enough experience with many areas of the project. xaosflux ^Talk/_CVU 23:02, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
5. Oppose: except for four edits in March of 2005 and two more in July, all contributions are within the past five weeks. Suggest withdrawal of this nomination; it is premature. Jonathunder 23:17, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
6. Oppose Needs more experience. Ronabop 00:12, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
7. Oppose needs more experience, please withdraw. Dustimagic *\o/* ^{(talk/contribs)} *\o/* 01:05, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

11. Oppose - edits and edit summaries --Admrboltz (T | C) 06:30, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
12. Oppose 30 article edits is just too little. Also, practically no usage of edit summaries is another problem. PS2pcGAMER (talk) 09:04, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
13. Oppose, lack of edits, lack of summary. I know this user from GameFAQs, he's a good person. Sceptre ^(Talk) 12:08, 14 January 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 would help in particular with vandalism, and would be delighted to welcome new users (Which I haven't done so far, just didn't feel it was my place). I would also help putting articles which I feel need proper attention, with the appropriate template (Stubs, Expansion etc.) I would help sort through the images list also, but my main focus is vandalism and its' prevention.

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A. I like Colaiste Chiarain as it contained original research, as I talked to the Principal and looked through various guides and publications they have produced. I also was able to secure use of the copyrighted image from the school, for illustration purposes. I and User:Mp3guy designed their website, giving us direct information on all the schools library of publications.

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. Not on Wikipedia, but on Wikinews I was dissapointed to see another user edit an article in such a way, I felt made the news article less readable, with bits of information not in order of relevancy. I was about to edit it back, but in order to not have an edit war, I decided against it. The article after all contained all the information I originally wrote anyway.
