[edit] Pilotguy

Final (120/1/3) ended 22:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Pilotguy (talk · contribs) – Pilotguy is cleared for adminship, he's been active in RC patrol, AfD, Help Desk, and guess what, even the odd very nice article. He clearly passes *FA with * FA's, I see no reason why we should not clear him for adminship Tawker 20:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to co-nominate this user, as he's very dedicated and greatly contributed to Wikipedia. I've seen him helping to fight vandalism numerous times and the tools would certainly be of benefit to his work. :) G.He 23:58, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept, and thank you for the nomination. --Pilot|guy 21:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

  22. Support - CrazyRussian's diffs lead me to support, actually. - Richardcavell 00:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  23. Strong support; extremely clear-headed. ~ PseudoSudo 00:06, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  24. Support, without second thoughts. My own continued experience with Pilot (which comes from no less than 5 months ago) and a thorough check of his many contributions only lead me to believe that he's thoughtful, meticulous, and most important, kind in his dealings with other users. CrazyRussian, I have utmost respect for your opinion, as I have proved by supporting your own candidacy; but I believe you're being a bit too harsh judging Pilotguy here. From all the things you pointed out, I only agree that his sig is somewhat long and would be better off if simplified a little. But every other aspect, I find debatable for the same reasons alleged by Joturner, Andeh & Rory. I especially disagree with considering a notice at a user's own userpage regarding a current RfA as something negative; many, many respectable admins have done this in time, and I can't think that having posted said notice in turn has had any impact in their administrative performance. Please, don't switch sides merely over what I said; I simply wanted to share my opinion on your position with you. Огромное спасибо! Phædriel ♥ tell me - 00:26, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  25. Support - passes my DSoDD. Most notably: (h) positive comments from others; (g) signature is/was no big deal; (c) I have seen nothing but positive interactions. joturner 00:35, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  26. Support. Excellent candidate. --TantalumTelluride 00:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  27. Support even though he has been blocked twice, wrongly. :-D Long time user, reduced sig as requested.--Andeh 01:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  28. I know Pilotguy from RC/CVN work and he's always friendly. I think I'll pick Support RfA cliche #2. (2x Edit Conflict!) ~Kylu (u|t) 01:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  29. Support Great counter-vandalism work; no objections (and gosh, now I'm worried that perhaps my sig is too big?) OhNoitsJamieTalk 01:01, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
    You only get moaned at about your sig whilst RFAing. I've seen a few admins that have way longer sigs than Pilotguy.--Andeh 01:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  30. Support I have come across him in vandalization reversions and at other times, and he seems to be a fine candidate for the mop-and-flamethrower. Good Luck! -- Avi 01:16, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

  110. Support. I make exceptions for people with relatively low WP-space edits who have outstanding article contributions, which Pilotguy clearly does. The question one answer addresses that concern anyway, because the user says they will start in familiar areas. No other possible concerns. A great vandal fighter.

Oppose

  1. robchurch | talk 11:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
I don't recall any conflicts with you, so my presumption is that it probably had something to do with the template I had in my sandbox. Fair enough. --Pilot|guy 13:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

# Oppose {{Special:Random/Oppose}} --pgk(talk) 18:39, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Neutral

Neutral. Has a DC-10 sized signature in an era that tolerates nothing larger than a CRJ. Again, this has nothing to do with the candidate's qualifications or conduct, but it'll cause objections at some point. --Elkman (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) 21:44, 12 June 2006 (UTC) Changed to support, see above.
I went ahead and shortened it to my prior version, however I can shrink it further if requested. --Pilot|guy 22:01, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Read WP:SIG, make the adjustments and I'll throw in a support vote.:-) Andeh 22:54, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Take out the link to Esperanza and it would be over a line shorter. --Rory096 23:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Is this neutral still valid seeing as Pilotguy has made the adjustments to his signature?--Andeh 06:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
It was never valid in the first place. I'm off to review his contributions now. --Elkman (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) 12:38, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  1. Neutral by popular demand. Thanks to all for the effort expended in reasoning with me. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 00:37, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
    Oppose for a few reasons: signature; this super heavyhanded level 4 warning for this, Anon's 2nd contribution in a month; this promotional notice, kinda low project-space edits (310ish) of which way too few are deletion discussions. (Lots of RC patrolling and edits to AIAV, which is good, but that's only half the equation.) None of these things are killer, but they add up. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 22:23, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
    Aren't promotional notices acceptable on one own's userpage, especially if they're not flashy? joturner 22:32, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
    I don't see how notices on userpages advertising the users RFA is unacceptable. Leaving messages on other users talk pages is unacceptable.--Andeh 22:37, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
    Spamming others would be an automatic oppose. This notice I consider a negative, but not one that requires an oppose vote, as I made clear. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 22:41, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
    The others two edits you mentioned are only minor mistakes, it seems a little harsh to oppose imo. Roger, it is a valid mistake made by Pilotguy because IPs change per user, so it could've been a different user and should be treated as a new user in such a space of a months time..--Andeh 22:51, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
    "heavyhanded"?? It was a clear case of repeat vandalism. He didn't do anything wrong IMO. It doesn't matter how many times a vandal has posted, vandalism is vandalism. I would have done the same thing, except with rollback, which hopefully Pilotguy will soon have. --rogerd 22:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
    Yes, very. Let me reiterate, however - each of the four things I mentioned would not in and of itself cause an oppose vote. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 22:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
    With all due respect, I think you need to put things back into the bigger picture. The edit *was* vandalism and yes, a test4 may have been a little extreme but 1 incident in hundreds is hardly an oppose reason. Project namespace is no indicator of adminness, anyone could rack em up rapidly, and they're not terribly useful as an indicator. Promo notices on user pages are not banned per any guideline per say, its not spamming, just an advisory that he might be busy due to RfA. Again, I suggest you re-look your reasons here -- Tawker 00:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
    That test4 is valid, and I would probably have done the same thing. First, the IP was introducing libelous information into the article, which is never good. Second, the warning just above that was a test3, so Pilotguy didn't even do anything like incrementing by 2, he just gave him the next warning up! As for the notice on his userpage, many people do that, and it's a good thing because we can then have people who interact with the user comment here. --Rory096 23:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
    Yeah, the warning just above was even more heavy-handed - starting off with a test3. No excuse, though. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 23:47, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
    It wasn't too bad. If the user has vandalized before, I almost always don't start with just a test, and since this was actually libeling the subject of the article (while not making itself obvious, like if it was a blanking), it's worse than usual, and so a test3 isn't totally uncalled for. Either way, though, Pilotguy didn't do anything wrong. --Rory096 23:51, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
    Upon further inspection the mistake was actually made by User:Sango123 using a test2 first even though the only warning given in the past was an entire month ago so it could be a totally new person. I really think you should move your vote to neutral Crzrussian.--Andeh 00:06, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
    Signature has been shortened to one line. Hopefully this is acceptable. --Pilot|guy 00:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
    Affirmative. Support +1. Andeh 01:08, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
    Absolutely not, Pilotguy. It should be less than three characters, including the timestamp. joturner 02:23, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
    I agree with you on that one Joturn! :-D--Andeh 04:05, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
    Heh, I'll see what I can do :) --Pilot|guy 01:22, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
  2. Neutral. Outstanding work, but you haven't been here a year yet. It would be churlish to oppose solely on those grounds, but I won't support condemning another good editor to the admin corps. Mackensen (talk) 15:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  3. Neutral per Mackensen. SushiGeek 01:15, 14 June 2006 (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 voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: There are many things I would be intrested in helping out with. I would, however, probably start out with the areas that I have the experience most in, including, but not limited to, reverting vandalism, blocking/unblocking users, page protections/deletions/moves, and also possibly closing a few AFDs, CFDs, etc., just to name a few. Eventually, I would like to spread out to help clear/close copyvios, and related work.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I would probably be proud of the articles I have listed on my user page, but also the ones I have committed to fixing/cleaning up, which are not listed there. Wikipedia is a phenominal encyclopedia and I always take pride in improving or expanding it for the benefit of 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 had a few minor instances, but, in my opinion, they occured early on when I was still "learning." I got hit with two blocks because the blocking administrators mistaked my revert edits as vandalism, so I got a little agitated there, but I began to realise that we are all human, and all make mistakes. I have gone out of my way to follow WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL and so far I have done so to the best of my ability, and, although it will be a little challenging, I will do my best to continue to do so.

DriniQuestion

Do you think admins performing actions (deletions, blocks) for reasons not covered on policy should be sanctioned? If so, how? -- Drini 21:00, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

This one's tough, and, of course, it all depends on the situation. Certainly, I feel best judgement should always be used, however, my observations in the past have told me that this doesn't work out too well for our community. So, I feel that should such an action need to occur, it will need to have community consensus and input, and therefore the admin will have outside advice, as well as support, for the best action to take.
