Nomination
Titodutta (talk · contribs) – I am proud to present to you Titodutta as a candidate for adminship. Tito has been contributing to Wikipedia for almost four years, and has proven himself to be a dedicated member of the community. Tito's main area of contributions is to Indian articles. He brought Swami Vivekananda to Good Article status, and he has an impressively long list of DYKs, many of them also related to Vivekananda. That is no coincidence; Tito was one of the founders of WikiProject Swami Vivekananda, and has created many articles about him for a celebration of the 150th anniversary of his birth. Tito writes about all sorts of Indian topics, though, not just that one. To see what I mean, just take a look through his impressively long list of new articles; as of today, there are 527 of them.
Tito is not just an article writer, but an article reviewer as well. He has quite a few Good Article reviews under his belt, for example Talk:Mahatma Gandhi/GA2, Talk:Independence Day (India)/GA1 and Talk:Independence Day (Pakistan)/GA1. He is also a well-known face at WikiProject India, with 343 edits to Wikipedia:Noticeboard for India-related topics. His interests also extend to editor retention; he was a regular reviewer at Wikipedia:Merchandise giveaways/Nominations before it moved to Meta, and he has adopted quite a few newer users. Not to mention that he single-handedly created this user award page.
He is also not shy of contributing to admin areas. Tito has extensive recent page patrol experience with STiki and Huggle - he is number 59 on the STiki leaderboard, with 6426 uses. He also has 147 edits to RFPP, and the AfD comments of his that I checked all showed sound reasoning with a clear base in deletion policy. On top of all this, he is unfailingly civil, and very helpful to new users. I think he would do very well as an admin, and we certainly need more admins who work in India-related topics. I hope you will join me in giving him your support. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 09:25, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm quite glad to co-nominate Tito for adminship. Mr. Stradivarius has given a rather clear picture of Tito but I would try my best to mention anything he has forgotten. Titodutta is clearly the most civil user I have seen here for years. He never gets into battleground mentality, no matter how heated the discussion gets. He is a great content writer which is readily evident from his staggering 98 DYKs, a GA and 527 articles! For those suffering with editcountitis, he has more than 67k edits too! Tito comes first in editor retention and promoting wikilove, inline with his civil behavior. Tito is a regular attender to the real-life events too. I was really taken aback by the way he called me and requested me to attend a recent conference, all with his own resources. I guess 99% of us wouldn't do that and that shows his dedication towards the project.
On the admin front, Tito is an ardent anti-vandalism fighter using STiki and Twinkle. He has quite a lot of edits to RPP among others. He is very helpful at the WikiProject India noticeboard and works hard to get everything solved by consensual discussion rather than trying to impose seniority and authority to get things done. Among others, he has (co)nominated two users ([1] [2]) for RfA, both being successful. All in all, I think Tito is one of the most civil users around, something which has become almost extinct here. He has enough experience in the admin domain and I think he would make a great admin. We surely need more admins to work in the Indian space and I think Tito perfectly fits in the role.

Hello there. First of all, alas, but I am not an active contributor to English Wikipedia. I have my hands full with contributing to Ukrainian Wikipedia and other projects, but I am a really active (and thoroughly dedicated) reader of English Wikipedia. And I would like the project to grow and develop. And be clean ;) (as an administrator of Ukrainian Wikipedia I do know what I am talking about. and keeping a project clean-and-shiny requires a lot of dedication). The user was the reason I had watched a Bengali-language film (to create an article about the film by the user's request ;). I do believe that it was one of the wikiwonders, as I cannot think of any sound reason for me in my real life to watch a Bengali-language film (I adore books actually). This quality of motivating people met by chance, cross-project, cross-language is just really fascinating. and though day-by-day administrator's duties are not that fancy, it can help. to keep going on. thus I would believe in the user and give him a chance to find out for himself whether this role really fits him and whether he can do more for the project he likes. best, --アンタナナ 19:31, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:
- 1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
- A: I want to start with page protection and requested move-related works. Then I'll focus in areas such as redirects for discussion, categories for discussion and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. There are not too many active administrators on the India noticeboard. Sometimes we need admin tools there. A year ago, I was inviting admins to join this board and help us. I'll try to serve this noticeboard. I'll participate in WP:ANI and WP:AN discussions too.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- A: Online activities I have been mainly working in India-related articles. Some of my best contributions to Wikipedia—
- Swami Vivekananda-related articles
- WP:Deceased Wikipedians page redesigning
- 98 DYKs
- Participation at Noticeboard for India-related topics
- Preparing WP:RMI report (after 2014 Wikimedia India conference)
- Offline activities
- I have attended a few real-life events of Wikimedia India, including 2014 Wikimedia India conference, Bengali Wikipedia 10 years celebration
- A: Online activities I have been mainly working in India-related articles. Some of my best contributions to Wikipedia—
- 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: Yes, I have been in conflicts over editing several times.
- Most of these conflicts or disagreements were easy to handle. Firstly I try to talk to the user(s), either on article talk or user's talk page and try to reach a consensus.
- Sometimes these conflicts are really complicated. For example the Asaram Bapu- BLP issue (see talk page discussions too). This issue was taken to administrator's noticeboard twice (or thrice probably). Someone informed Jimbo Wales about the discussion. He came and his edit was reverted too. It was one of the most difficult debates I have participated in.
A similar example is disruptive edits at India against corruption and related articles.
- When disagreement occurs, I try to stay calm and relaxed. I also try to watch my words. And the most important thing, I always prefer policy-based arguments. Thanks.
- A: Yes, I have been in conflicts over editing several times.
- Additional questions from DGG
- 4 Have you ever worked with articles from students in school classes? Please comment on any special concerns in dealing with such articles.
- A: Thank you for your question. No, I have not worked with articles from students in school classes. Someone from WMF or Wikimedia India mailed me last year and requested me to conduct few workshops. At that time I failed to co-operate there because of real life difficulties and other issues. From September-October (2014), I have started attending real-life events of Wikimedia Foundation or Wikimedia India. Currently I am trying to work on a project, where I may need to conduct a few workshops in schools and colleges.
Now, let me answer the second part of your question: last December (2014), I attended a conference where I represented Wiki(m/p)edia India. There I was in charge of the Wikipedia help (question/answer) desk. Obviously many people (students. teachers etc.) came to us and asked many questions. There I noticed that most of these people do not know about Wikipedia policy. There people/students/teachers asked/complained to me "your Wikipedia have wrong information about our college/school?" "Why don't you write an article on our "this" professor or teacher, he teaches very well?" Just on 9-10 January (2015) when I was attending Bengali Wikipedia 10th anniversary conference, a few guys were asking me about creating an article on their University's printing department.
Now, these two events were "eye-openers" for me. I witnessed that the moment you start explaining things to them (for example, "this" and "this" are Wikipedia notability criteria etc. Or "we need "these" references" to create an article on your professor), they also start co-operating with you. So, from these events, I learned— a) I must be patient and listen to other party's arguments without becoming annoyed or anxious b) I should try my best to explain Wikipedia policies and guidelines to them in simple words.
I'll try follow these things in future (but of course, I'll not encourage vandalism). Regards.- Followup Did anyone ask you about anything relating to copyright or copyvio? (that's a hint) DGG ( talk ) 00:26, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
- A: Thanks for following up and giving the hint. Sorry for delay in replying. For more than last 3 hours I am trying to concentrate on your this question and the hint. There are so many discussions both on-wiki and off-wiki, that I am facing some difficulties to follow your hint. Here are few recent on-wiki discussions/messages or copyright a) Wikimedia Commons related question, b) a message form Article for creation team. c) I have talked to my admin coach many times on copyright related topics, d) recently in a real-life Wikimedia event, one or two college students asked me copyright-related questions (eg. what will be copyright status of my image if I upload on Wikipedia?). Regards.
- Add: and yes one more thing, I have started feeling that copyright problems are a common issue when dealing with students. I have seen it on Wikipedia where school or college students want to create/expand their school/college website and copies content from their school website or somewhere else. In real-life, I haven't dealt with any such student. Regards.

- 5. Could you comment on your AfD keep at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/INSZoom (2nd nomination). Do you consider all the sources you mentioned there suitable to support notability?
- A: Frankly speaking, that was one of my worst votes in AFD ever. In 2013, when I participated in this discussion, I was not aware of the difference between "independent news articles" and "press release". At the same time, I was working on an Indian English newspaper search tool and WP:INDAFD etc. No, press-release or self-promotions should not be considered as reliable refs. (Most probably) I was over-enthusiastic at that time. I did my studies (later) and I promise I'll be careful in future. Regards.
- Additional question from Iaritmioawp
- 6. Consider the following hypothetical scenario which will test your understanding of WP:CONSENSUS. Five editors take part in a discussion. Four of them argue in favor of outcome A, one of them argues in favor of outcome B. The arguments of the advocates of outcome A are weak and are easily refuted by the one editor who argues in favor of outcome B. The one editor who argues in favor of outcome B offers numerous policy-, guideline-, and common-sense-based arguments, none of which are refuted. You are the administrator whose role is to formally close the discussion. What is the outcome of the debate, A or B?
- A: (Firstly, although you have not mentioned, let's consider those 4 votes are not sock/SPA votes), now in such situation a) if I find only one editor is making policy-based arguments, and all others are just talking unnecessarily, (following what I was doing so far), I'll try to get involved in that discussion and support that editor's policy-based arguments with more points (of course as an involved editor, I'll not be able to close it then, there are many more admins who can close the discussion), b) now, suppose I am not permitted to to get involved in the discussion, I'll definitely not close the discussion immediately, and will encourage those four editors to try to reply to "editor 1"'s comments/arguments. I'll also inform related noticeboards about this discussion so that experienced editors from the project come and check the discussion (on WikiProject India noticeboard, we get such requests). I may also ask other experienced admins or go to WP:AN to get suggestions c) now, suppose (for some reason), there is not a single active admin on En WP, and there is not a single active noticeboard or WP:3O too (I really can not think about it, and hopefully this will never happen), and I am the only admin and I must close the discussion immediately, after carefully studying all points (I need an example here) I'll either close the discussion as "no consensus" or I'll close it in favour of editor 1, the only editor who was making policy based arguments. Wikipedia:Polling is not a substitute for discussion. Of course, I'll try my best to write a detailed and clear statement while closing the discussion. Regards.
- Additional question from Samwalton9
- 7. Could you discuss a time when you have been swayed from your original opinion to another during a discussion or dispute?
- A: Yes, the most important one I can remember now is this (Feroze Gandhi section). They provided some good references, and I conceded. (later I filed an application to the Central Government of India under Right to Information Act. They have informed me that this needs detailed study, and I am invited to their National Archive of India, Delhi. I have not attended it still). If someone convinces me that my points are wrong or my knowledge on some topic are incomplete, I'll gladly change my opinion.
- Additional question from HJ Mitchell
- 8. You and two of your nominators are all at pains to stress your "civility", perhaps just because it's flavour of the month at RfA, but I'm wondering if you've ever encountered a situation in which it was impossible to get your point across and be nice? Can you provide an example of dealing with a particularly intransigent or tendentious editor? And where do you draw the line between being nice and feeding trolls?
- A: Hello, the worst one is surely the IAC dispute. On one hand some of them were continuously harassing (including real-life harassments) us and making legal threats against us every now and then, on the other hand some of them were expecting that I would help them to rewrite the article (there is no consensus to do so). Please see Sitush's comment after Support #24. I do not know about those WMF activities or legal activities.
About drawing a line between being nice and feeding trolls — if someone follows guidelines and policies — they'll find me as one of they best friends they can have on Wiki. If they try to vandalize Wiki, they'll find me reverting their edits, giving them warnings, reporting against them. (I try not to personally attack anyone). We should not feed trolls.

- Additional question from Dirtlawyer1
- 9. Hey, Titodutta. You have a strong track record of work and accomplishment, and barring any unforeseen issues, I intend to support your candidacy. That having been said, I would like to gain some additional insight into your thinking. You wrote above that one of the areas in which you would like to work as an administrator is AfD. Your overall AfD record is solid, and has improved over time. Could you provide some insight into how your understanding of the concept of notability has evolved over the last three years? Can you briefly discuss the relationship between specific notability guidelines and the general notability guidelines? And, finally, in addition to the notability of a list subject, can you briefly discuss some of the factors that you would use to evaluate the suitability of a list topic for inclusion. Thanks and good luck.
- A: Hello Dirtlawyer1, a) I think, I'll not start my works with AFD closures. In answer #1, I mentioned AFD-works at the end. I'll follow the same order that I have mentioned. I have read "Cautious support" suggestion of Glrx (support #32). Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to gain more experience before closing AfDs.
b) in the last 3-4 years, I have become more familiar with various Wikipedia notability guidelines and other policies. In 2011, I had little or no idea about any Wikipedia notability guidelines, in 2012–2013 I read about WP:BKCRIT, WP:NACTOR, WP:BLPFAMILY etc. In April 2013, I did not have enough knowledge on press release or promotional newspaper coverages, then after an AFD discussion I learned about it. By participating in discussions, talking to others or reading something, I am getting more and more experienced. Things are mainly changing in that way.
c) the general notability guidelines WP:GNG page attempts to explain the concept of "notability" in brief and in general (however that is the central page to assess any subject's notability). Now it is not possible to explain everything in a paragraph (or a page), that's why we have special notability guidelines (WP:SNG). SNG do not contradict WP:GNG, but try to explain the same points (or additional but similar points) with much more details and examples and in a subject-specific way. For example, notability criteria of numbers, that is a specific notability guideline, but explains things much more clearly and specifically.
d) "list-topic": a name or entry may be included in a list if it is important to the subject, its relationship with the subject is well-established and well-sourced, and (preferable, but not mandatory) the entry itself follows general notability guidelines of Wikipedia. Red-links may also be included in a list with support of reliable sources (I have seen school/college alumni lists or notable people form any city-related lists often require clean-up and attention).
If a new list article is created, that must follow Wikipedia's content policies such as WP:GNG, WP:Verifiability, WP:NOT (specially WP:NOTDIR). I just can not go ahead and create an article List of people who voted in User:Titodutta's Wikipedia RFA
Thank you for your good wishes. Regards.

- Additional question from Ritchie333
- 10. I'm concerned that your talk page has {{user health inactive}} and {{Off and On WikiBreak}} at the top. As you say yourself, you have become involved in difficult debates on ANI with long-term POV pushers. Are you worried that becoming an admin will put a target on your back and lead to burnout and stress? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:29, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

- Support. Because Titodutta is so all-round and prolific and checks all my boxes, I had to look a lot more to see if there were any reasons I might wish to be more cautious about !voting 'support'. Naturally I didn't find any. What I did find however, is that it is almost essential for Titodutta with his knowledge of the Indian sub continent and its culture, to be an admin on en.Wiki. There's a lot of work waiting for him. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 21:10, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

- Support Probably doesn't know much about gaming or synchronised swimming, but if he knows about Indian films that'll do nicely. A lot more polite than I am, but gets his message over well. And it's the right message... Peridon (talk) 21:45, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
- Support I've known Tito since he first started. I've had the pleasure of working with him in various activities off Wikipedia. The thing that most stands out about his work on and off Wikipedia is also what will make him a good admin, his temperament. He has a great demeanor, is polite, mellow, level-headed and is always calm. Bgwhite (talk) 22:26, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
- Support Tito's dedication to wikipedia, vast experience, and civil conduct will assuredly make him a good admin, as the nominators and supporters point out. In addition, I'd like to highlight two other qualities of Tito's that I have observed over the years: (1) his coordination and cajoling abilities (which both User:Antanana and I can attest to) that have for example helped in building the Swami Vivekananda project; and (2) his being pro-actively helpful in guiding users even in relation to articles Tito doesn't have a prior interest in, as can be seen for example in his participation at India noticeboard. These qualities will make him an even more effective admin, and I look forward to him gaining the bit. Abecedare (talk) 22:43, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
- Support - I'm interested in (but not concerned about) the nominee's decline in activity over the last 18 months from a high this time two years ago. I have no doubt he will be a good admin, regardless of the amount of time he has to commit to administrative activities, just curious. St★lwart111 22:46, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
- Much of the decline, which is pretty irrelevant to RfA given the general activity, probably relates to WP:LTA/IAC. If you want more information then you may well have to turn to email, I think. There is an ongoing situation and it is not one of Titodutta's making. He is one of the good guys and it falls under the "defender of the wiki" banner, although for legal reasons much of it should not be discussed here. I'm happy to fill in some of the gaps via email but I can't reveal all and I doubt that WMF would reveal as much as I might. That he, like me, pretty much put his real life on the line should be a positive, not a negative. My apologies for sounding so mysterious but much of this has gone on through entirely acceptable and necessary backchannels and I think that WMF will at least acknowledge that point even if their hands are otherwise tied. - Sitush (talk) 00:28, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
- More than sufficient. I was aware of some of the issues, but I wasn't aware of the broader impact. Certainly not to the extent that it impacted on editing capacity like that. I also don't think its relevant, except to say that anyone who still seeks to volunteer is worthy of our support. St★lwart111 05:05, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

He has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to work collaboratively with others. He works in an area where admins are scarce. And I totally trust him with the tools. --MelanieN (talk) 23:45, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

- Cautious support. Saying AfD in Q1 makes me look at AfDs, but there were only 7 in 2014; not a good sign. Looking at the conflicts gave me further pause because args were weak or non-existent on policy; there were some appropriate sounding withdrawls. I saw the INSZoom with its prweb sources and stopped looking; to me, it's close to a fatal mistake but can be saved with a Q. DGG framed Q5 appropriately, the answer hits, so I'll support -- but get more experience before closing AfDs. The as yet unanswered Q6 is also appropriate, but it's a softball.
