IuseRosary

[change source]

Closed early per en:WP:SNOW on April 13th.

Hello There. I would like to nominate myself for administrator. I feel that I am at the point where i have reached a significant understanding of the way in which Simple English Wikipedia and it's community works. Since starting here, over three months ago, I have observed the various requests of admin and have read through all of the critiscism and advice left for other users and have taken them in myself enabling me to become a better user. My main area of concern for Simple Wikipedia is to concentrate on my music Project, including all encompassing areas under this, such as the community which served it, the relevant articles, referencing and further research and providing a base work for which the community could continue to build, develop and make use from.

One of my Other main areas of concentration for Simple Wikipedia is reverting and dealing with vandilism, I classify myslef as a recent Changes Patroller. I believe that I would find the rollback tool very useful in dealing with these issues and helping to carry the increasing strain of vandilism off of the current admin community.

I, due to school work pressure and issues concerning my late brother's death not long ago, am not currently as active as I used to be and not online as much as I could be. However, with the increasing strain of Vandilism on this Wikipedia as it gains populartiy amongst both editors and tolls, i feel that every little effort in the fight against vandilism will help to keep this wikipedia running sefely and smoothly. By Next month, I hope to be editing in full swing once again and hope that I will be able to recieve admin tools in time for my full return after the closure of my borther's death after his funneral. I find that Simple Wikipedia is a place of refuge for me in difficult times at home. I feel that I could be a very productive and helpful editor here if given the chance to use administrator tools.

I feel that my experience of being here whilst the Iamandrewrice/benniguy/Inkpen2 fiasco was in full swing has given me knowledge on how to deal with severe cases such as this one, experienced not too long ago. I also feel that my specialist and first hand knowledge in certain areas, such as music, (being a trumpet player in an orchestra, participating in musicals, studying music to an advanced level in my curriculum at school and having a fantastic intrest in music in general), Film, (my Auntie being a film editor and Film studies being a part of my curriculum at school) and Food (Having done my work experience in a Catering company and my father being a professional chef) gives me a unique and hopefully valued postion her at Simple Wikipedia. I frequently read the rules of Simple Wikipedia and am familier with all important policies and feel that I could be a valued administator in time. Thank You for reading. IuseRosary?

Candidate's acceptance: No, I never accepted this - what are you all doing!!

Support

[change source]

*Has nearly twice as many edits than I did when I passed. Warning users isn't required. I'd like the opposers to make some proper arguments beyond quoting vague irrelevant numbers. Otherwise, I support. Majorly (talk) 19:50, 11 April 2008 (UTC) Creol says something that is actually worth opposing for, so I'll abstain now. Majorly (talk) 00:28, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

[change source]
  • Oppose According to this, you do not meet one of the things that I look for in someone who wants to become an administrator. I prefer that the people that I support have at least 700 mainspace edits (the article section), however, this isn't always the case. While I have to say that you have been a major help here on the Simple English Wikipedia; and because you have been extremely helpful with vandalism, you also have a tendency to forget to warn the user who vandalizes on his or her talk page. Also, based on the number of deleted edits that you have, I do not see a need for the deletion tool at this time. While I like you as a user, I still don't trust you to correctly block and/or protect pages at this time. Thank you for your interest in becoming an administrator, but I do not think that you are quite ready for it at this time. Good luck in this RfA! Don't be unhappy if this fails; my first 4 RfA's failed for some of the same reasons. Please don't take this as an insult against you, as I like you and think that you do a good bit of work here, I simply just don't think that you are ready yet. Cheers, Razorflame 16:19, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Please see my support. Your opposition is insulting. Are you saying I'm not ready to be an admin? I don't meet your standards by miles. Majorly (talk) 19:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, I am not saying that. I wasn't around when you were put up for adminship, so you can hardly claim that this is insulting as I was not even a member of this Wikipedia when you were voted for for becoming an administrator. Cheers, Razorflame 19:54, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • You are saying anyone with <1000 mainspace edits is unsuitable to be an admin. I have ~700. That means I am unsuitable, right? Majorly (talk) 20:05, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • That isn't always the case. That's only one of my requirements that I like to see in candidates. Another thing I like to see is helping out with the vandalism. IuR passes that requirement. Another requirement is a need for the tools, which IuR does not pass. Sorry, but it's not always about the edits...actually, the reason why I am opposing is because of the third point I brought up. There are some tools that I just don't see IuR having a need for. Cheers, Razorflame 20:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Sorry but I think you're not ready for this permission yet. - Huji reply 18:19, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I don't think you've been here long enough for me to be certain you understand all the necessary policies. Like Razorflame, I've also noticed that you sometimes forget to warn users after reverting. Sorry to hear about your brother. Why don't you take this time to sort things out in your personal life and when you've been back editing for a while we can see whether or not you're ready for the mop then? · Tygrrr... 19:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's your opinion. I'm entitled to mine. · Tygrrr... 20:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I move a motion for this RfA is closed per en:WP:SNOW. --  Da Punk '95  talk  06:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I would like to keep it open for others to comment so that I can gain constructive critism from other users so I can learn from it if i wish to go through this same process again in the future. But, may I add that I cannot change my past - and if you see, since the indefinate block of Benniguy, I have not vandilised or anything else and that it was bad influence and peer pressure that made me act in a certain way. And, I would like to remind you, that this is not en:Wiki, this is Simple Wiki, so surely anything that I may or may have not done over there is not relevent over here. Thank you. IuseRosary? (talk) 09:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that this is not a past issue. I am still getting reports of vandalism from your IP range from other wikis. While most of this is also including vandalism from Benniguys address ranges, yours are also being used. Either he is at your house or you are helping him. Either way, placing the admin flag in this situation is dangerous for the wiki. No this isn't en:wp, nor is it wo:wp or sco:wp where this vandalism is still going on (against Gwib at that) but your actions there show a threat that we have to take into consideration here. -- Creol(talk) 20:56, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I understand. :) God, "I f---ing love it!" IuseRosary? (talk) 09:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
