I have increasingly felt a need for certain administrative powers to help clean Wikipedia. While I work on many parts of SEWP, a lot of my effort goes towards anti-vandalism, and having these tools will make my role as a janitor easier. I am well-versed in policy, and I have lots of experience in deletions, and I think that the community would be benefited from me being an administrator.

Candidate's acceptance: self-nomination

Support

1. Support. I don't think there's any reason not to support you. BZPN (talk) 05:40, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
2. Support I'm very happy to support. MrMe definitely passes the minimum requirements of not a jerk, has a clue, knows when to ask for help etc. But better still has experience in everywhere you would expect for an admin to have and more, and has been active for years already. With the concerns about anti-vandalism experience below, the number of reverts is a little less than I had expected but this is not a concern for me given the experience in plenty of other areas. Admin is more than just a level-up for anti-vandalism tools, and in reality anti-vandalism is just a small part of being an admin. --Ferien (talk | join TBA!) 11:52, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
3. Support It is delightful to see a good candidate self-nominating from time to time. They are clearly competent and trusted, and their having the tools would be a net positive for the project.--BRP ^ever 14:36, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
4. Support Thank you and BRPever for clearing the confusion, also agreed with Ferien. Thanks for volunteering.🪶-TΛNBIRUZZΛMΛN (💬) 14:40, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

10. Support About time. Has plenty of experience around here and I would definitely trust them with this role.— *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 04:49, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

12. Support Was originally on the fence yesterday but now that I'm looking at it, you're definiely ready for the mop.- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 08:08, 19 September 2025 (UTC)
13. Weak support - Overall, I think you do good work in deletion areas and that you'll be fine using the tools there. My hesitation is that you're saying a lot of your work is in anti-vandalism, and I just don't see a lot of evidence of that. Looking unscientifically at your anti-vandalism work through examining your user talk contributions, I see a lot of notifications of quick deletions or RFD, but July 9 seems to be the last time you warned someone for vandalism. (I skipped a couple of warnings re: empty categories and one for creating inappropriate pages which weren't necessarily vandalism warnings). Then June 2 before that. April 20 was your last report to WP:VIP. So, again, I think you'll do fine with the tools in deletion areas, I'd just like to see more evidence in areas you're saying you plan to focus on.

Comments

• If I'm not wrong, most of your contributions are category related, I don’t think an Adminship is needed for this kind of work! Also your anti-vandalism works are bit low to be an administrator, for me. 🪶-TΛNBIRUZZΛMΛN (💬) 05:58, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

  Thank you for mentioning that, and you are definitely right, in that I spend most of my time doing category work. I have spent some time in the past patrolling recent changes or new pages but I have always found this work unfulfilling. One of the reasons that I enjoy category work is that it overlaps with a lot of topics, including anti-vandalism. A lot of categories have pages with old vandalism that I have found, and I have put in efforts to get rid of this. Some of the vandalism in these areas also has more to do with LTA issues, which tends to be more systemic, and I believe that using certain admin tools can help with this.

  @Tanbiruzzaman They have made a good number of quick deletion requests and have participated in RFDs and content discussions (including featured content), many of which require an administrator’s closure. There are plenty of areas where their having the tools would benefit the project. BRP ^ever 14:33, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

• Question What is one area you would focus on if you would receive these rights?--Plutus ^{💬 🎃} — Fortune favors the curious 09:27, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

  I want to spend a lot of time in WP:AN. I believe that there are a lot of discussions in AN that goes unresolved, or takes an unreasonable amount of time to resolve, and I think having another administrator there would help. MrMeAndMrMe_Talk 13:44, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
