Hi all, today I am here to nominate Griffinofwales for adminship. Griff is a former admin who has held the mop for many years and has shown right temperament and level-headedness needed to be a good admin. He also does WikiElf work that needs to be done but usually goes unnoticed. He is also active in IRC and frequently requests admin assistance. I think having him back as an admin will be net-positive for the project. He is very easy to communicate and coordinate with and having him back in the team is definitely going help in handling tasks that need the admin bits. Thank you for your time.--BRP ever 13:27, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate's acceptance: BRP, thank you for the nomination and the kind words. As someone who has held the mop a couple of times, I understand the responsibility that comes with this role and appreciate the requirements and understanding of policy & guidelines that it requires. If accepted by the community, I plan to continue the work BRP has mentioned, working in the background of the project, helping keep our administrative backlog down, resolving community discussions, and assisting in making our community even stronger. As an editor for 15+ years on this project and an administrator twice (stepping away for personal/work reasons), I am happy to see that the community has remained strong and hope I can continue to support you all again in the administrator role.

  14. Support - Griff is not only a fantastic editor but they're also an extremely helpful, patient, calm and level-headed person, They do their very best to not only help but to also resolve issues that arise. They also show a lot of empathy and sincerity in situations and they also help you understand situations or processes where sometimes situations and processes just don't make sense which goes a long way, Without a shadow of a doubt they would make (excuse my language) a bloody great admin again!!.

May I please ask of @Griffinofwales: what has prompted the breaks in their periods of adminship on the site? Thanks. DaneGeld (talk) 20:43, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Valid question. The first time I stepped away as my life circumstances resulted in me not having the time I used to. I returned during the post-COVID environment where I had much more time at home. Unfortunately, my career later got much busier, requiring significant travel & time commitments that did not allow me to balance Wikipedia into my life. I now have a much more balanced role in my career where I feel I can provide the appropriate time to the community. Griff (talk) 21:52, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your answer. It sounds like you have managed the balance of life and Wikipedia very well. You have my support. Good luck! DaneGeld (talk) 23:00, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
