[edit] Mysekurity

Final (47/1/0) ended 23:41 November 6 (UTC)

Mysekurity (talk · contribs) – Mysekurity is one of the friendliest users I know. He is very welcoming, he helps out newbies, and he's kind to people when they're distressed. He can often be found at AfD and other pages in the Wikipedia namespace, so we know he's experienced enough, and his first edit was on May 15 2005, so he passes the time guideline. As for his edit count, doing it by hand I see... ~1800 contribs. He's often asking myself and other admins for adminly help. Give him the power to {{Sofixit}} ;-) Redwolf24 (talk) 23:41, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

With pleasure. Thank you so much, Redwolf! -[[User:Mysekurity|Mysekurity]] [[additions | e-mail]] 00:55, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Oppose.Wiki brah 05:36, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Just for the record, would you mind stating why you oppose my adminship? Have I ever been anything but cordial with you, despite various arguments put in place against you? I would really like to know, and you can post this at my talk page, but please add this here. Thank you. Mysekurity (talk • contribs)
I presume he must have some reason to oppose, and it would have been fair to record the specific reason so that all other users (including me) get enlightened and initiate corrective measures, as warranted in the light of his comments. However, if he has chosen to maintain silent, that is ok. Let us forget it, and let him remain comfortable. --Bhadani 11:13, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

Comments

  • {{Sofixit}} is primarily an editorial, rather than an administrative, exhortation. -Splashtalk 08:49, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • A chart showing this user's edits along with a total # of edits line and average edits per day line is available here: Image:Mysekurity-edits.png. I offer this not as a more refined version of editcountitis, but as just one tool to help evaluate an admin nominee with a somewhat low edit count on Wikipedia. --Durin 14:00, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Use of edit summaries is 71%, 94% over last 500 edits. Average edits per day is 10.5 per day, 12.5 per day over last 30 days. --Durin 14:00, 31 October 2005 (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 read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. I already rollback vandalism, but the ability to block and delete would be helpful. I participate as much as I can in AfDs, so deleting powers would be helpful. This said, I would become much more active in AfD closing, and page protection. I'd love the ability to delete clear copyvios, in images and otherwise, and do general cool stuff like that. I like to make sure my powers are not abused, and will only protect a page when I feel it absolutely necessary, and only block when I feel there is no other way. I am absolutely in love with the concept of Wikipedia, and will do everything I can to make sure the fabric does not come undone.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Our Bodies, Ourselves. I know the writers of the book personally, and have gotten permission to use the logo (they're extremely busy, so they didn't quite have time to get me the things, but I feel I've added some good contributions to that. My favorite article, of which I am the largest contributor, is the one on my school. I learned so much about my school's history, and asked a few of my teachers for input (about such former students as Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Patrick Ewing, and others).
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 tried to avoid high stress articles, but I tend to be a very low-strung person, and thus I feel I'm pretty capable at staying cool. I've talked to several people about copyvios on articles and userspaces, and worked on a few NPOV articles. I try to be civil in all my talk page edits, and have actually befriended a few users as a result of searching through high Wikistress categories, as per Esperanza guidelines.

I am also on the Boston Meetup group that is responsible for bringing Wikimania| here next summer.
