Nomination

[edit]

Adyniz (talk · contribs) – I am a wikipedian since 2008 and I am here to help in making the articles with the accurate information and an official source so that wikipedia's quality standards can be maintained. I would like to specially contribute to the anime section on wikipedia. I would like to be an administrator so that I can stop the users who post completely fake / useless information. Thank you. ♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 11:43, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Questions for the candidate

[edit]

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
A: I intend to do some important things first after being an admin. I would like to stop users first who provides totally fake information (again and again) and then I will improve the articles by providing correct, accurate and official information which can keep the wiki standard firm. So, if I become an admin then I will be able to serve Wikipedia more efficiently.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: My best contribution to Wikipedia are Cartoon Network (Pakistan) and List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network Pakistan articles. The reason behind it is that there are only a few users (equals to zero) who edits these articles actively and with correct info and that article need a responsible user so that he/she can help it and I think I was the perfect choice for it. I also edited a lot of other articles but these two articles are my best contributions and I am still working on them to make it perfect because I have to do a lot of work on them. I am working on List of Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl: Galactic Battles episodes nowadays, because the info provided by users is not accurate and no body is taking care of it. I will try to improve the articles like this on Wikipdia to maintain its quality.
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: No, I have never been in an edit war. In future, if I will face any situation like an edit war then firstly I will protect the page (as a responsible admin do to avoid more clashes) then I will start a topic on talk page/discussion page of that article where the users can justify their edits. If they are right and they have a strong proof which follows the wiki rules, then its okay but if not then I will try my level best to improve it. If a user continuously involves in such activities then I will warn him once but if he did it again then he/she will be blocked.

Additional question from Pakaran:

4. In view of your answers to the other questions, do you feel that as an administrator you would use administrative privileges to support your side (the "correct" or "official" side) in content disputes? If so, under what circumstances would you do so? Pakaran 01:24, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Support
[edit]
  1. Moral Support - WP:SNOW. Nice enthusiasm though; try again in a few months! Smithers' Sock Puppet 01:55, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Weak Support: per Smithers - Ret.Prof (talk) 03:21, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose
[edit]
  1. The edit summary made when transcluding this RFA [1] indicates that you understand your chances but wish to go ahead anyway. While I applaud your boldness, it can't come as any great surprise that I oppose you gaining the tools at this time. Your answers to the standard questions make me wonder if you even know what an admin does. You don't appear to have the experience in administrative areas that most users like to see before granting adminship. Also, you have numerous warnings for vandalism and adding copyright violations to articles within the last two months. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:59, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose Less than 20 edits to the project space, and while 2 months might be a long time ago for a more active user, the warnings on your talk page are quite recent in your edit history. In your last ~100 edits you received 4 warnings on your talk page. You're not ready to be an admin yet, sorry. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 01:00, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Thank you for submitting your RFA. While I applaud enthusiasm, I'm afraid you do not yet possess sufficient knowledge and experience for the community to have confidence in your readiness to become an admin. But that does not mean that we will never have confidence in you.
    For the most part, it requires at least 3,000 edits in a variety of areas to learn policy and guidelines well enough to attempt adminship. Nominees need to show the ability to contribute a number of significant edits to build the encyclopedia.
    However, if you work on vandalism patrol, most people would like a few thousand more.
    The Admin tools allow the user to block and unblock other editors, delete and undelete pages and protect and unprotect pages. Nominees will therefore do well to gain experience and familiarity with such areas as WP:AIV, WP:AFD, WP:CSD, Wikipedia:Protection policy, and WP:BLOCK to learn when to do these things.
    As an admin, you will inevitably have to...
    1. Explain clearly the reasons for one's decisions.
    2. Review one's decisions and change one's mind when it is reasonable to do so.
    3. Review one's decisions and stand firm when it is reasonable to do so
    4. Negotiate a compromise.
    Admins need a familiarity with dispute resolution. The ability to communicate clearly is essential.
    Article building is the raison d'être of Wikipedia. I recommend significant participation in WP:GA or WP:FA as the surest way to gain article building experience.
    If you are not the type of person who likes to write content, there's plenty of other article work you can do (WikiGnomeing for start).
    My suggestion would be to withdraw and try again in another 3 months and 3,000 edits. Many nominees have found it helpful to submit an Editor Review or to receive Admin coaching before submitting their RfA and after passing that benchmark. Hope this helps. Good luck and happy editing.   ArcAngel   (talk) (review) 01:01, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Strong oppose indefinitely blocked. Not ready to become an administrator. --Rschen7754 01:05, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose Let's SNOW this, what a waste of time.--SPhilbrickT 01:42, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Strong oppose. I'd also support WP:SNOW. Having had to revert a number of this editor's contributions of OR[2], copyvios,[3][4] and uncited OR,[5] it's clear that this editor has neither the experience nor the understanding of policy that is required of an administrator. --AussieLegend (talk) 02:06, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Oppose. No chance, close per WP:SNOW. -- Ϫ 05:22, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Oppose to offset error in support vote #2, which supports "per [a pretty obvious oppose]." Şłџğģő 05:51, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral
[edit]
  1. Neutral per naïvety WP:SNOW this. NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs 01:45, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Neutral because nothing else would be productive but a WP:SNOW close, but I would to express a specific concern that two of the four warnings on your talk page were for the same issue on the same page. I don't know if I would regard those warnings as for vandalism per se but they show an unfamiliarity with basic sourcing principles. I echo the suggestion to consider an editor review, and perhaps a mentor would help focus your enthusiasm more productively. --otherlleft 02:49, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
