Diez2

Voice your opinion (talk page) (3/1/0); Scheduled to end 18:45, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Diez2 (talk · contribs) - I have been editing rather actively for about 7-8 months now, and over that span of time, I have come to greatly know Wikipedia policy. I have done a lot of things, but I mainly work in the notability, anti-vandalism, and editing abuse departments. I used to do a lot of new page watching, and now I do a lot of RC patrol. I am the founder of Wikiproject Notability, an effort to sort the 10,000+ borderline articles into "Notable" and "Non-notable" bins. I used to work as the "director" of WP:ACID as well. One shortcoming that you may notice in Q2 is that I don't edit articles very often. I do have a 1000 mainspace edit count mostly due to reverting edits, and I have a 1200+(correction, 1000+) deleted edits count due to all the new pages I tagged with a db template, but I really don't do much in the department of article contributing. However, I do know a good article (and a bad one) when I see it, as proven by my WP:GAC work and my Special:Newpages work. After all, administrators are maintenance workers. Anyway, feel free to comment, support, or critique me in the discussion below. Thanks! Diez2 18:45, 28 July 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: I would work with WP:AIV, WP:RPP, (which can accumulate a backlog very quickly), closing AfDs and help enforce CheckUser results and ArbCom decisions. It may seem like a lot, but I can devote my time to each one.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: As I stated above, my best contributions to Wikipedia aren't to an article, but to maintenance around the Wikipedia space portion. I do enjoy working in WP:GAC, although I have found that I have less time to work with it as I did before. I also feel that my edit reverts and newpage tagging are some of my best work, because that work only goes to help Wikipedia maintain its quality of articles.
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: Occasionally, I have reverted edits that were not vandalism, but looked like it. I am usually able to keep a cool head about it. If I am indeed wrong, I simply apoligize and move on. Also, If I am right, I do not gloat over the other user waving a banner saying "I'm right and you're wrong." I simply state how they are wrong using policy in a civil manner and move on.

General comments

Please keep criticism constructive and polite. If you are unfamiliar with the nominee, please thoroughly review Special:Contributions/Diez2 before commenting.

Discussion

Support

  1. Support. You are well qualified, and your involvement with the wikipedia space (which really makes the other spaces run smoothly) is exemplary. J-stan Talk 19:10, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support User knows policy and understands that quality of articles is a priority here. Won't abuse the tools. T Rex | talk 19:54, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Strong Support—Diez is definitely somebody I'd be happy to have working alongside me as an Administrator: he has an excellent knowledge of policy and guidelines, has contributed to some great projects, tried his hand at XfDs, and is courageous enough to admit that he's not an article writer at heart. Best of luck, mate, and I hope to be seeing you with the mop in a week's time! Cheers, Anthøny 20:28, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Strong Support From what I can see you are qualified for adminship. I certainly hope the vote is in your favour! Deliciously Saucy 21:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Support -- I for one would prefer more mainspace edits, but because of this user's strong efforts elsewhere in the project, I would have to support. There's more to this encyclopedia than building its content, we have to make sure it's done properly too. This user has made great strides in seeing that this happens, and it is for that reason I would have to support.The Kensington Blonde Talk 22:17, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

  1. Oppose I have a 1200+ deleted edits count due to all the new pages I tagged with a db template fine - yet a review of your last two thousand contribs shows no warnings to any users that their article had been tagged for speedy deletion. This sugests either you have not made these 1000+ CSD tags but I assume the faith you just simply don't bother warning - which is strong enough for me to oppose as it shows a total lack of courtesy, something essential in an admin. Sorry. Pedro |  Chat  19:13, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm sorry, I should clarify, I used to do newpage editing, which is why those edits don't show up in my last 2000. Diez2 19:19, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Looking at his first 500 edits shows warning on user talk pages. Lara♥Love 19:23, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, indeed warning do show up, vandalism warnings - and the 98 edits to WP:AIV are good. However simple numbers re:beyond the last 2000 - candidate has made 1290 user talk page contribs. The candidate asserts 1200 + speedy tags. A quick review shows numerous talk page edits in batches regarding project work. Therefore the candidate has not advised users in by far the majority of cases of the speedy tag,(diffs to show he has are of course welcome) hence my oppose stands. Sorry.
