- Nomination statement (250 words max.)
Hello, I'm Courcelles, and I'm applying to retain the checkuser and oversight permissions following the end of my term on the Audit Subcommittee in April of next year. I've been a member of that subcommittee for nearly six months now, and an administrator here for around eighteen. In that time, I've also been semi-active as an operator of both permissions, and am frequently available on-wiki and through IRC to handle requests that come up. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them.

Questions for this candidate
Being a checkuser, would you be willing to continue to help with the Checkuser backlog at WP:ACC as there are usually up to 6 requests waiting about 5 days+? -- DQ (t) (e) 19:26, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- A: I'm never great at remembering to check ACC, but I think I've been willing to take a look every time someone has poked me that there was work needed there. I'm around on IRC, and there's a backlog, just poke me, and I'll come take a look. Courcelles 21:04, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
Would you be proactive in looking at the open cases at SPI to see if they could use a checkuser after your term ends on AUSC? -- DQ (t) (e) 19:26, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- A: Of course. The clerk system is a great one at workflow management, but CU's are, and should be, looking at other cases on the SPI page to see if their services would be useful. Courcelles 21:04, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
As a CheckUser, you will likely, from time to time, coordinate and communicate with the Stewards. What cross-wiki experience can you bring that can help out not only the Stewards, but editors, administrators, and CheckUsers on other wikis? –MuZemike 21:31, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- A:
In your own words, what are the main differences between the WMF's CheckUser policy and the privacy policy? –MuZemike 21:31, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- A:
Under what circumstances do the above policies give on the release of CheckUser data? –MuZemike 21:31, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- A:
Give some examples on when CheckUser requests of a sensitive nature or discovered CheckUser results of interest that would not be posted on-wiki. –MuZemike 21:31, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- A:
In April 2011, you were appointed to ArbCom's Audit Subcommittee. What experiences do you bring from there that would be an asset for you as a full CheckUser? Note that I am not looking for specifics, but more general experiences as a result of your time on the subcommittee. –MuZemike 21:31, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
