[edit] PRueda29

Final (39/0/1) ended 02:03 11 November 2005(UTC)

PRueda29 (talk • contribs) – I would like to nominate PRueda29 for adminship. He has been a user in Wikipedia for almost a year now and has racked up almost 3000 edits spread across all namespaces. He is a dedicated editor who already has one FA (Columbine High School massacre) and is very helpful with schools and aviation articles as well. He is also helping me to try and get Miami, Florida to FA status. He has excellent command of NPOV and is very civil with other users. I think he would make a outstanding admin JAranda | watz sup 00:06, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

  10. Support. Normally, I'd be happier if there were more behind-the-scenes edits, but what there are look good. There is a slight tendency to use pure-votes on AfD, which is rarely helpful and a lack of edit summaries in many places, which is unhelpful and should be improved as a matter of urgency (right now, not after the RfA). The point about only recently starting to tag speedies, but asking for the ability to execute them is also slightly concerning — so please tread carefully. But the good contributions and no demonstrations of exploding when under pressure or in disagreement are nice to see. Then, there's the length of service. It's hard, surely, to be around for that length of time and not just 'pick up' the way things work, and to have managed to conceal any dastardly plots or personality traits. -Splashtalk 03:31, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
  11. Support user has been around since 2004-12-15 (10+ months check) has 2982 edits in all namespaces (2000+ edits check) seems to be pro-school and has at least 1 FA. I simply can't find any grounds to contest this nomination, keep up the good work!  ALKIVAR™ 04:12, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

  16. Support Good, comprehensive contrib's and no indication anywhere of disputes. Some nice article tidy-ups. Just two things: use edit summaries more often as noted and try and avoid the fair use tag on your images. You've worked extensively with pics which is nice, but that's the only tag I'm seeing.

  38. Support. I worked with PRueda recently to do a top-down copyedit of the Columbine article before it Main paged. He is very nice to work with. Like Splash I'm a bit concerned about familiarity with admin-related functions, but knowing him, I'm confident he will work to understand them before applying his privileges. encephalon 18:36, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

Neutral

  1. Neutral Seems too agreeable. Will he rock the boat and stand up for what is right?--Silverback 16:30, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Would this question have anything to do with your recent requests to revert a page protected for edit warring back to the version you prefer? Radiant_>|< 23:36, 7 November 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.)
A. I'm most interested in fighting vandalism and have tried to do as much janitorial work as possible with my current status; this includes nominating nonsense articles for deletion and quickly reverting bad edits, as well as placing speedy delete tags on articles (something I've recently started to do). My main goal as an administrator would be to help other users with any problems they have, something I already try to achieve but feel I could do better as an administrator.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Definately Columbine High School massacre. I began expanding the article nearly six months ago, and after some time I nominated it for FA. I received my first barnstar from it, and learned most of what I know about editing articles and adding pictures from my time expanding and researching the topic; it is now a featured article. I'm also very pleased with my current project Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
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, of course, have had stress from editing (it's the reason I got my barnstar, LOL), but I have never been involved in a true edit war. I believe that working with whomever I disagree with is better than constantly fighting over a point of view and generally try to compromise with the other editor in hopes of finding a way to settle the dispute without resorting to anger or petty attacks.
