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

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nat, formerly Nat.tang, has been editing Wikipedia since 2006 and has been substantially active for the last five months. He has acquired experience in all the major administrative pages, such as WP:AIV, WP:ANI, and WP:AN3. He also has dealt extensively with the dispute resolution process and knows how to keep a cool head. I was impressed by how he handled this situation at Wikipedia talk:Ontario general election, 2007. Nat removed an external link from a newer user to a blog site, then defended his decision based on the external link policy without biting and without assuming bad faith. There are two reasons to see a potentially outstanding admin from this kind of discussion. First, Nat demonstrated the necessary balance between respecting another user and enforcing policy. Second, and no less important, he took leadership of a complicated situation.

Nat has received two editor reviews: Wikipedia:Editor review/Nat.tang (June 2007) and Wikipedia:Editor review/Nat.tang 2 (September 2007). These reviews, together with his userpage and contribution log, should give you a good idea of what Nat likes to do. I don't expect that Nat will cause any problems with the additional tools we should give to him. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 00:21, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
