[edit] Kermanshahi

Final (0/8/0); Ended Thurs, 22 Mar 2007 15:06 UTC

Kermanshahi (talk · contribs) - Kermanshahi is a very active, friendly and nice to work with user. He is allways very helpfull for those who just began as new users. He is very much dedicated to his homeland Iran; he knows loads of information about it, but he also knows much about other countries, their history, military and culture. He is very friendly, polite, knows the answer for many questions and, last but not least; he is allways ready to help. That is why I personally think, he should be an administrator. Rhobinji, loyal servant of the Great and Mostly Honarable Kermanshahi! 18:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Hereby I accept the nomination: Kermanshahi 21:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)


Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.

I am ready to help with anything. Kermanshahi 21:29, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?

I am particulary pleased with the list of countries by number of total troops wich I consider as my masterpiece , I added from all countries from rank 11 until rank 107 and I already have plans to add more I also even made a map for it wich can be viewed on This page. I have also recieved an impressive amounth of :7. barnstars and the Distinguished service award that is the highest award of the Military History project ! Kermanshahi 21:29, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

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?

I have had a confilict with macutty, he wanted to make Iran's total troops 1,000,000 instead of 11,000,000. We had a long discussion and eventually he didn't reply and left the article as it was Kermanshahi 21:29, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I have chosen to withdraw Kermanshahi 15:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

General comments

Please keep criticism constructive and polite.

Discussion

  • And there really wasn't any need. Michaelas10 struck three votes as sockpuppets, on an RfA that was blatantly obviously going to fail. The subsequent actions by the claimed sockpuppets were not disruptive; one was just trying to change his vote to neutral, another to unstrike his vote. There's not enough evidence to claim these were sockpuppets, and investigating to determine if they are is not worth the effort; the RfA will blatantly fail anyways, and the sockpuppets haven't been doing anything outside of this RfA (that I'm aware of) to be disruptive. Lots of heat being generated for no purpose, and the nominee should rightfully feel attacked. Let's assume a little good faith here; the nominee and associated editors may be inexperienced, but there's no reason to attack them, most especially when the RfA will blatantly fail anyways. A little kindness would have gone a long way here. --Durin 14:33, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Striking votes as obvious sockpuppets. Michaelas10Respect my authoritah 13:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Now this is what I call unfair, three people vote for me and than you don't count any! If you wan't to ban tham just to make sure I don't become an administrator than I won't put them back and we forget about this whole artickle. If you wan't to cheet than there is nothing I can do about it. Kermanshahi

Mrlob is no sockpuppet, I know him personally! And I am definetly not going to start over nieuw, I am happy with my account and I do not need to be an administrator. Kermanshahi 14:57, 22 March 2007 (UTC) Oppose

  1. Oppose - Only 236 edits. Make some more edits, get some experience and come back in several months. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 13:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  2. Oppose Bad answers to questions, low edit count, but those three supports in rapid-fire succession way before the RfA came here is odd. Plus, well...nah, I won't pile on. You got a fair use image on your userpage though, that's a violation.--Wizardman 13:18, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  3. Edit conflict Oppose Weak answers to questions with regard to expressing why the administrative tools are needed, and a lack of experience related to administrative duties. Leebo T/C 13:19, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  4. Oppose Low edit count and weak answers to questions. -Mschel 14:10, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  5. Socks, game over. – Chacor 14:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  6. Oppose per your comments under support. Khukri 14:27, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  7. Strongest oppose anyone who declares that people are trying to cheat them out of adminship by striking sockpuppet votes. If you want adminship ever, you're really going to have to start over now. -Amarkov moo! 14:34, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
    Oh, and that list of Wikipedians by number of barnstars too. -Amarkov moo! 14:36, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  8. Oppose 3 weeks editing? -- FayssalF - Wiki me up ® 14:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
