[edit] Aranel

(35/0/3) ending 15:10, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC)

She has made over 4300 edits in the three months she's been with us. She's become a leader in editing Tolkien articles, and taken the initiative to create a template to welcome new Tolkien editors. She's also contributed in many other areas, and become active in the community as well, particularly on VfD. I find her highly deserving of adminship.

I accept, with thanks for the nomination! I would very much like to be able to do more housekeeping work (especially with categorization—CFD needs some help at the moment) and would be unlikely to use administrator powers in non-housekeeping tasks except in rare special cases.

  5. I get concerned when the summary trumpets VfD as something good without going into detail. However I see that Aranel is a balanced user in VfD, and has made many good contributions :o). ShaunMacPherson 15:59, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  30. Strongly support. Very rational, level-headed person who considers what she says before she says it, and knows what she's talking about. Fantastic person to deal with. PMC 01:40, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  35. Full support. I think Aranel will make a great sysop. -- Schnee 01:13, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Oppose


Neutral

  1. She appears to have a responsible view of policy, and has her mind in the right place. The thing that worries me is that most of her edits (overwhelming majority) appear to be category edits. I would prefer to see some more article content contribution first (I don't care about percentage, just about raw bulk). If she'll come back in a few months with that under her hat, I'll vote yea. --Improv 17:13, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  2. I have an extremely favorable impression of Aranel. She has been reasonable, level-headed, and balanced. She has sought merges of isolated (and, in my opinion therefore lost) material, shown a good understanding of the issues of granularity, and been temperate. My neutrality is simply a matter of time on project. I don't measure contributions much, but I do think folks need time to run across the vicious, vitiating and vitalizing alike so that we have a sense of what the person does when the stresses mount. I will absolutely support her upon next nomination, barring something unforseen, but cannot vote for her at only the 3 month interval. Geogre 19:19, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  3. After having gone through the request for adminship process (only about 3 days before I withdrew), I began to think of what I would want from an admin. Prior to that time, I had contributed little to community pages and had little interaction with other users. Now, it is a whole new world and is definitely more difficult. I have to agree with Geogre on this one. Since I would otherwise support the user, I will not oppose on these simple grounds, but I must abstain and be neutral. Skyler1534 22:50, Nov 1, 2004 (UTC)


Comments

I took an indepth look at her contributions and talk page. I was initially shocked by this but it turns out the guy is just a spammer, and since Aranel has acted appropriately in this matter, it makes her even more of an ideal candidate. Other than this I can find no bad conduct, instances of conflict, etc. Good work all around, I'd say. CryptoDerk 15:56, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)
I'm not spammer :) Vitaly 17:20, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
