I felt the need to have a place here to group together my participation in the things that require either a Support, Oppose, or Neutral vote, that I have participated in which relate to a particular user.

I do not participate in every RfA, although I routinely read and review most if not all that are submitted. I participate in less than 50% of current RfAs, and it is even rarer for me to oppose or declare neutrality.

[edit] My Standards

My standards are very fluid and they regularly change. I also reserve the right to ignore my standards when I deem appropriate. That being said, there are some constants which do not change or only slightly vary:

  • Actually answer the standard questions and not just post a one-line response.
  • Displays knowledge of the policies through prior contributions to the areas the user requests the tools for.
  • Mainspace contributions not limited to vandalism reverts (even the creation of multiple stubs is enough to fulfil this)
    • DYKs; Good Articles; Featured Articles, Lists, Pictures, Topics are an even better indicator of the quality of the mainspace contributions.
  • Clean block log or last block occurred over 4 months prior.
  • Not have a previous Arbitration Committee ruling against which imposed editing restrictions or blocks/bans.
  • Edit summary usage near-perfect for at a minimum the last 150 major and minor edits.


[edit] Nominations

  • TomStar81 (3rd attempt) - Pending co-nomination with Roger Davies - Postponed due to academic real-life concerns of TomStar81 until May at the earliest.
  • Parsecboy - Successful co-nomination with Pewwer42, closed 24 February 2008 by WJBscribe at (63/1/0)

[edit] Support

Notes

  1. ^ Later discovered to be a sockpuppeteer and sock himself of a community banned user. The entire community was duped. - Signpost article

[edit] Oppose

  • Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/The Transhumanist 5 - 5th RfA in 10 months (3rd self-nom), complete lack of RfA etiquette, replied to most opposes, actually saw people !vote per Kurt.
    • Withdrew early; Closed with the tally: (65/84/16)
  • Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Jordan Payne - Extremely low edit count, fortress mentality, didn't heed consensus not to nominate.
    • Withdrawn per WP:SNOW; tally: (0/12/0)
  • Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Shalom - A vandal who abused sockpuppets and vandalized during his last RfA. I did not rule out the possibility of eventually supporting a reformed vandal, but only a few months were not enough time to judge if the reformation was truly genuine or not.
    • Withdrew early; Closed with the tally: (34/45/10)

[edit] Neutral

  • Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/BQZip01 - Canvassing, lack of experience in admin-related areas, weak original answers to the questions.
    • Withdrawn early by bureaucrat; Closed with the tally: (5/19/6)
    • Originally opposed, but switched to neutral to avoid the inevitable pile-on after reconsideration of my opposition.
  • Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Dihydrogen_Monoxide_2 - Too many issues, not enough time to overcome them.
    • Unsuccessful; Closed with the tally: (76/46/18}
  • Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/thedemonhog - Limited contributions to anything outside of TV-related articles. Suggested waiting a few months and gaining additional outside experience before another RfA.
    • No Consensus; Closed with the tally: (31/14/12)

[edit] Requests for Bureaucratship

I usually participate in every RfB that I see when looking at WP:RFA on a regular basis.

[edit] My Standards

Generally, I do not have set standards like RfA, for RfB, but there are certain things that will lead me to either not participate, oppose, or abstain via a neutral !vote.

  • To be expanded

[edit] Support

[edit] Oppose

[edit] Neutral

[edit] Arbitration Committee Elections

I only vote for the candidates I support.

[edit] Standards

  • Must be an Administrator and have at least one extra position of special community trust (Bureaucrat, Checkuser, Oversight, OTRS, Mediation Committee, Arbitration Committee Clerk).
  • Also, what I consider to be the most important, who would I want to judge me if I was named as a party to an ArbCom case.

[edit] Policy and Other Related Decisions

  • Wikipedia:Non administrator rollback - Support

    I use Twinkle like many of us, but if a less-server intensive solution (which this is) is made available (which this would do), I would switch my vandalism reverts to the rollback tool. Besides, those with a proven vandal-fighting record shouldn't have a problem getting an admin to approve them for the tool.

  • Wikipedia:Requests for rollback/Vote - I support non-admin rollback being implemented, through a community decided process
