[edit] Redmarkviolinist

FINAL (1/5/0); withdrawn per WP:SNOW by EVula at 18:46, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Redmarkviolinist (talk · contribs) - Redmarkviolinist (talk · contribs) is a user who is very active. Looking at his logs, he has created many articles, and recently, he has spent many hours a day tagging nonsense articles, copyright violations, and undoing vandalism. Redmarkviolinist (talk · contribs) is an honest user who is very hardworking. Redmarkviolinist (talk · contribs) would make a great administrator. --wezil-- 20:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't know why I was nominated, and I don't expect to get Adminship, but I may as well accept. I accept this nomination:Redmarkviolinist 21:29, 2 November 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?
Well, lately I have been 'patrolling' the recent edits page, and I have placed many CSD tags on nonsense articles, expand articles on pages that need work, undoing vandalism, and occasionaly participating in Military History WikiProject, and others. I enjoy creating new articles. Also, in my spare time, I like creating templates and userboxes, but overall I like to patrol the Recent Edits, doing anything I can to keep Wikipedia clean.:
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
Possibly all the patrolling I have done lately, but my favorite article that I have done lately, and still continuing on it. I'd have to say that this article displays my great history knowledge and able to write in a neutral form.:
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?
Not really.

[edit] General comments

[edit] Support
  1. Redmarkviolinist (talk · contribs) is a very hard worker, and I think he deserves this nomination.--wezil-- 21:27, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Oppose
  1. This user is fairly new to Wikipedia. Their contribs so far seem reasonable enough, although there isn't much of a history to judge from yet (although it is obvious the user hasn't really clued in to the use of edit summaries yet). From browsing this user's talkpage and list of articles they've created, I think it speaks of a well-intentioned editor who is still very much learning the ropes, who is not someone I wish to see invested with admin powers. Someday maybe; not now. So...oppose. Ford MF 19:25, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
  2. Ordinarily I don't get involved in RfA's, but I was pretty surprised to see Redmarkviolinist's deletion of unanswered concerns on his/her talk page (and this was a friendly and respectful question I asked him about a relatively minor matter), so I am not confident this editor yet understands the Wikipedia ethos as well as is desirable.

  3. Not a good idea.--barneca (talk) 17:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
  4. Oppose and encourage withdrawal, as I explained on Redmarkviolinist's talk page several days ago. [1] - auburnpilot talk 17:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
  5. Strong oppose per Barneca. Even discounting that, not enough experience yet. --Coredesat 18:43, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
