Pascal.Tesson

Voice your opinion (53/0/0); Scheduled to end 07:00, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Pascal.Tesson (talk · contribs) - (Self-nomination) I've been around for over a year now and along the way, I've gotten involved in different aspects of the project including the village pump, AfD, the anti-spam project, notability guidelines discussions, RfA reform discussions. I currently do mostly gnome work, particularly categorization. In January I failed my first RfA and somehow managed to draw opposition from inclusionists and deletionists alike. A few editors also expressed concern at my lack of experience with images and I'll repeat what I said then: I indeed have limited experience with images, mostly because I have zero interest in that aspect of the project but I think I understand the copyright policy and regularly make reports to WP:CP. People who want to know more about me can read the answers to questions in my first RfA which are still pretty relevant to this second attempt. Pascal.Tesson 05:50, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: On the short term, I plan to use admin tools for my day-to-day activities. I often submit reports to WP:AIV or tag articles for speedy deletion and I'd be able to do this on my own. I also think that access to the history of deleted pages will help in making decisions about what to do with a particular user or article. As for the long term, I can't say really: the reason I've stuck around here is that I found new things to do as I went along and I believe the admin tools will just open other ways of contributing that I'm not entirely aware of.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: I'm happy with my work on the notability guideline for books. It was started by Fuhghettaboutit (talk · contribs) and the two of us continued to work on it and slowly built consensus. It finally became a guideline in February and has had a very quiet existence since. I've also been recently involved in the newly-formed categorization taskforce which has been successful beyond anybody's wildest expectations. Since Alaibot (talk · contribs) started tagging uncategorized articles from the database dump late last year, tens of thousands of articles have been categorized and often cleaned up in the process.
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: The last time I experienced wiki-stress was my first RfA (of course, you don't run into so much conflict when doing categorization). I don't find that dealing with vandals in a civil fashion is too hard. It's harder to deal with other experienced editors who often have views so completely opposed to mind on matters of policy for instance but no AfD, policy or RfA reform discussion is worth a full-blown attack of wiki-stress. I'm more aware of this now than I used to be and my recent interaction with Durin on WT:RFA shows this I think.

Discussion

Support

  1. Yes, yes, a thousand times. I couldn't support the last RfA because I was on a rare break, but this guy should've been an admin a long time ago. Exemplary user. – Riana ⁂ 07:01, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Strong support - I nominated him last time! Thoughtful user, will certainly help with the backlogs and not abuse admin tools. Kusma (talk) 07:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Strong Support - Have seen this editor doing a great Job on Wikipedia and I believe he should have been an admin a long time ago..Anyways..Good Luck :)..----Cometstyles 07:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Support He's a natural one now. Jmlk17 07:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Support Although I find this editor sometimes aggressive, I don't think that it's over the top or likely to be a problem (there are plenty of good admins more aggressive than Pascal). He appears to have made an effort since his last RFA, and is ready for the mop. AKAF 07:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Support and good luck! The Rambling Man 07:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  11. Support. Can't think why I didn't support last time, but giving this user the tools is a Good Thing. —Xezbeth 07:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  12. Ought to have passed on the first go. Christopher Parham (talk) 07:55, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  13. Support Of course. Great contributions. the_undertow talk 08:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  14. Strong Support. I already asked Pascal if I could nominate him, and I'm still mystified as to why he prefers a self-nom to a third-party nom. Still, he should have been an admin a long, long time ago. Walton (alternate account) 08:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  15. Of course. I don't need to read the whole nomination essay. I know a good editor when I see one. Good luck. :) YechielMan 08:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  16. Supermassive Support based on what I've seen from this guy. G1ggy! 08:38, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  23. Support I have seen Pascal around and think he represents himself well. I have read through the previous RfA and note the issues raised there, however I believe that the intervening months have probably done much to correct his thinking on a few issues. I know of no reason to oppose this editor. Give him the tools. JodyB talk 11:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
