[edit] Hut 8.5

Final (64/0/0); Originally scheduled to end 16:44, 20 October 2007 (UTC). Nomination successful. --Deskana (talk) 17:33, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Hut 8.5 (talk · contribs) - A very helpful user, who has spend over 1 year on wiki, and has over 11,000 edits! Always polite and rarely makes mistakes —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boris 1991 (talk • contribs)

Co-nom by Maxim
I haven't interacted directly with Hut 8.5 much, but I've always been thinking of offering to nominate him. I notice, very often, Hut 8.5 at WP:AIV. He always correctly reverts, warns, and reports problematic users to AIV. (Reverts: [1], [2], [3]; Warnings: [4], [5], [6]; Reports to AIV: [7], [8], [9]) Hut 8.5 also makes very solid arguments in XfDs. ([10]. [11], [12]) As a vandalism reporter, I highly trust Hut 8.5. I usually block when I see his report, and I don't count up warnings on the talk page of the user in question. Finally, a glance at Hut 8.5 deleted contributions will reveal many articles that he correctly nominated for speedy deletion. I think he's very prepared for adminship; I hope you think the same. Maxim(talk) (contributions) 19:48, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept. Thank you. Hut 8.5 19:24, 13 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: Mainly work on WP:AIV and CAT:CSD, as I have experience in those areas and they always seem backlogged. I would also be interested in closing XfD discussions as I have some experience there as well.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: I have taken part in several areas. I am a regular RC and NP patroller, with over 200 edits to WP:AIV. I also comment at AfD and MfD debates frequently as well. I'm not a great writer, though I have done some good work on Robert May's School, amongst other pages.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A: I have been caught up in several disputes one way or another. Most notably when I was new to Wikipedia I was wikistalked and harassed by several vandals and their sockpuppets - see Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Hunter91 for details. I think I dealt with that issue rather well given my lack of experience. If I get into a stressful situation I generally take a break and try to think things through calmly before proceeding. I find this works very well.

Question from User:Piotrus

4. Would you add yourself to Category:Wikipedia administrators open to recall? Why, or why not? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  18:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
A: Yes, I will. Administrators are accountable to the community, and the community should be able to take away adminship, so long as the process is not misused.

[edit] Discussion

  • I am unfamiliar with both Hut 8.5 and Boris 1991, so I was looking through contribs and what-not. Hence my request: Would an admin undelete the deleted history of User talk:Boris 1991 (unless there is some outstanding reason not too)? Thanks, Iamunknown 22:13, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I think it was accidentally deleted by someone who thought it was a temporary userpage. Hut 8.5 08:00, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
