[edit] Punkmorten

final (53/2/0) ending 07:30 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Punkmorten (talk • contribs) – Punkmorten is an excellent, well rounded contributor who has done plenty of work in the main article namespace, he is an active and sensible voice on AFD, and he has done a lot of great new page patrolling. For those concerned with edit count, he has over 7500 of them. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:51, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I gratefully accept. Punkmorten 21:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

  1. Support. Sjakkalle (Check!) 16:01, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
  2. Support. 7500 edits is more then enough to earn a promotion. -- Eddie 07:49, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
    Support for a candidate on RFA should not be on the number of edits. A vandal can have 2000 edits, 500 of which are vandalism. Does that mean he has enough edits "to earn a promotion"? NSLE (T+C+CVU) 08:26, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
    Also note that of those 7500 edits very few are on talk pages. That might be cause for concern since that is where an admin often needs to interact. in this case it does not stop me voting support but worth n oting none the less. David D. (Talk) 22:24, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

  6. Support. Sure thing. Athletics on Wikipedia? That's Punkmorten. Most of athletes-related articles are created by him, great success in CSB. I can only recommend him to other voters. - Darwinek 10:02, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  7. Support --Terence Ong Talk 10:34, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

  16. Support. Back in Oct, Punkmorten was asked to start using edit summaries. I skimmed his last 750 edits are so, and they all seem to have edit summaries, which is a great thing and shows the user listens to people's suggestions. Also, he has quite a bit of experience with AfD. -- PS2pcGAMER 23:37, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  17. Support per nomination, and I like the 100% edit summaries, as listed by Mathbot. Looks like a good user, although I haven't bumped into him before.--ViolinGirl♪ 00:15, 4 January 2006 (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 check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A. I would be most active in the fields concerning the deletion process, where I already spend time. I often do new pages patrol and check for speedy deletion candidates, and I participate in Articles for Deletion where I would help in closing debates. This strikes me as important as the AfD load is increasing. Kate's edit counter reveals that I presently have 868 deleted edits to my name, the vast majority of which are (ex-)articles which I tagged for speedy deletion or AfD. If trusted with the admin tools I promise to use them with care, on obvious candidates only.

Moreover, I would follow the example of the administrators I have interacted with and help non-admins if they should request my assistance. And help out with copyright problems. Punkmorten 21:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. If I should single out one particular article I am proud of, I would say List of Prime Ministers of Norway. I did not create it, but it used to be an incomplete, inaccurate and confusing list which I spent a good deal of time improving. The same could be said about List of cities in Norway. Looking at my entire list of contributions, however, I think what really stands out is that I create a lot of new articles, often countering systemic bias. Unfortunately I haven't really been involved in the Featured article process, but my stance is that someone has to attend the neglected articles as well. After all I started editing by browsing through requested articles. Punkmorten 21:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
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 have not participated in any edit war. While a couple of edits have caused other users to leave comments on my talk page, in those cases I have decided not to take the editing any further. I intend to remain calm in the future.

It should also be noted that I have improved my use of edit summaries. A quick check tells us that I have used them in about 999 of my last 1000 edits. Punkmorten 21:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
