- Nomination statement (250 words max.)
Hello everyone! I'm Elockid. I've been actively editing Wikipedia since May 2009. Most of what I contribute is statistical data to the encyclopedia. I've also been an SPI Clerk since February 2010 and administrator since April 2010. Being an SPI Clerk, I’m familiar with the CU processes, grounds for checking and what can and can’t be released.
In addition to participating (I still file SPI reports usually for CU assistance) and handling reports at SPI, I help deal with long-term sockpuppeteers such as Sheynhertz-Unbayg (talk · contribs), Polscience (talk · contribs)/Satt 2 (talk · contribs), Grawp (talk · contribs), and MascotGuy (talk · contribs). I also help out with shorter term abusers such as the Ghostface Killah vandal. Also, many of the areas I work with are filled with sockpuppets (contentious areas such as the Indian-Pakistani conflicts), so I have a bit of experience with them.
I have some knowledge regarding ISPs such as the size of the ranges they use, which ones they use, their nature (for example, how dynamic they are), etc. especially those in Northern America (Canada and the U.S.), Western Europe, primarily the U.K. and Italy, South, Southeast, and East Asia and Turkey. I have some knowledge regarding CIDR, the method we use in blocking ranges.
I hope to be of further assistance to those where CU is needed by helping to prevent further disruption such as in situations where a user is quickly evading their block and causing disruption in a relatively short amount of time such as with Jacob Hnri (talk · contribs).
