DerHexer

Voice your opinion (talk page) (27/0/0); Scheduled to end 16:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

DerHexer (talk · contribs) - This user has been a model Wikipedian and vandal-whacker - from edit one, he's been whacking vandals. I also am confident in nominating him for the mop - he's unlikely to abuse it, being a sysop on de. I therefore hope the community will grant him the tools to block the vandals which pester him so. Will (talk) 22:18, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Co-nom by Evilclown93
I've seen this user around quite a bit. He is, as Will said, basically a vandal-whacker, and also, he is very fast at his "job". I've offered to nominate him before, but he's finally close to accepting. I strongly believe that vandal-whackers like DerHexer ought to be granted the tools because, frankly, they are responsible a big portion of the time for filling up AIV. Granting him the tools will just help him and help the project by eliminating said vandalism. Finally, he is easily trusted, as he is a sysop on the second-biggest Wikipedia, de:.

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept this nomination. —DerHexer (Talk) 15:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: I want to fight vandalism as I did in the last months, block vandals and delete nonsense. I intend to participate in AIV since I have been reporting lots of vandals there and think that I know how it works. ;) … Basically the things I do at the German wikipedia, too.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: My best contribution to Wikipedia is the latin language portal on German Wikipedia, which I have started here as well. I've spent dozens of hours extracting the content of de:Kategorie:Latein (Category:Latin language). It was not possible for me to finish it yet here because I've had exams at the university. … One of my favourite articles is de:Ich weiß, dass ich nichts weiß! which I've translated: I know that I know nothing.
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?
A: Though I've not mentioned a phone number anywhere on wikipedia I've gotten two phone calls. That was a bit scary because I wasn't expecting it. But I was able to help both of them and I explained why we do not accept copyvios or people removing content or adding advertising. ;)
