User:Shalom Yechiel/Drafts and archives/Nomination for Fabrictramp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fabrictramp (talk · contribs) Fabrictramp (old username: KApplebaum) is one of Wikipedia's quiet contributors. He has made about 24,000 edits, including 19,000 edits to articles, at an astounding rate of more than 1,000 edits for each of the last 12 months. The edit count perhaps overstates Fabrictramp's investment of effort: these are mostly minor edits using tools such as Twinkle and AutoWikiBrowser. Fabrictramp has focused on two large projects: (1) Updating all-time rosters within Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball, including Chicago Cubs all-time roster and St. Louis Cardinals all-time roster; and (2) cleaning up the vast graveyard of Wikipedia:Dead-end pages.

Fabrictramp has more experience dealing with Dead-end pages (i.e., articles without links to other articles) than anyone else, and this experience has familiarized him with essentials of the deletion policy. Among his recent contribs and talk page comments you can find evidence that he has listed many pages for proposed deletion. Though he has limited familiarity with other administrative functions, such as vandal-fighting and dispute resolution, I am not worried about this, and I trust that he will learn whatever he needs to know to serve Wikipedia effectively as an administrator. I think Fabrictramp may be particularly willing to help clear administrative backlogs at CAT:PROD and CAT:CSD. Shalom ^Hello 20:16, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
