Misza13

Discuss here (122/0/0) Ending 18:06, 2006-07-21 (UTC)

Misza13 (talk · contribs) – I think Misza13 is quite ready for adminship. He has been with us for almost a year, and in that time he has accumulating over 6,200 edits doing vandal fighting, creating user scripts, contributing to articles, and performing other activities for the benefit of Wikipedia. He has also created 2 bots, MiszaBot, which has done work in bypassing redirects, among other things; and WdefconBot, which allows people to easily alert other editors about vandalism problems by allowing the Wiki-defcon to be changed via IRC. Most importantly, however, Misza13 has shown that he is a kind user, and I think that he would be a great admin. -- Where 17:48, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept. Misza13 T C 18:06, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose
Neutral
Neutral - I'm not very happy with the answer to Lar's question. I don't think that "open to recall" is noble; rather, it should be expected. Administrators should be confident enough in their abilities to subject themsevles to scrutiny. If I were sure that Misza13 would embrace this notion, I would have voted in support. --AaronS 14:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Your comment has given me some second thoughts on this matter. My main concern was that even a small group of users could easily undermine/question an admin's competence even without a true reason (causing some unneeded stress), or with the only reason being revenge. But since the "recall" would've been considered by the whole community, I realize admins acting in good faith and to the best of their abilities should sleep well. That said, I now fully support the idea and will certainly add myself the the mentioned category. Misza13 T C 22:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: For start, I'd naturally contribute to areas that extend my work so far. That is, vandal fighting (fast rollback, blocking, monitoring WP:AIV, where I've seen lenghty backlogs at times of my activity); helping on CAT:CSD. Later I might extend to whatever areas I find needy of attention.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I'm rather a gnomish type of contributor rather than a classical editor. I mostly do maintenance tasks here, roaming the Wiki, fixing whatever I see broken, helping people, sometimes writing tools that aid me and others in editing. Still, I'm very pleased with my work.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A: One benefit from being a WikiGnome is that my work is generally neutral, regardless of viewpoints/beliefs of others. Whenever during Recent Changes Patrol I notice something resembling an edit war, I rather tend to step back (or at most try to cool down the warring parties). Thanks to that, I've never involved myself in edit wars and neither have any users ever stressed me significantly over editing. Should this ever happen, I'd probably attempt a mediation of some sort, as I find edit warring pretty pointless, disruptive and tiresome.

Optional question from Lar:

4. (one big long question about categories of admins and your thoughts about them) Are you aware of Category:Administrators_open_to_recall? What do you think of it? Would you consider placing yourself (placement should only be done by oneself) in this category if you were made an admin? Why or why not? Are you aware of Category:Rouge admins? What do you think of it? Would you consider allowing yourself to by placed in this category (placement is traditionally done by someone else) if you were made an admin? Why or why not? (note: both these categories have some controversy attached to them, for different reasons, and note also, although I am a policy and process wonk I am in both categories, and finally, note that there is no wrong answer here, my comment is not dependent on your answers (if you choose to), but I think it's interesting to know views...) ++Lar: t/c 15:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the questions. They raise important issues and shouldn't be left unanswered. Yes, I am aware of the categories. Starting with the "Admins open to recall", I think it's a noble movement. After all, adminship is access to some priviledged tools, granted by earning trust of the community. It seems perfectly logical then, that should an admin lose this trust, the tools should've been taken away. I realize it's a controversial issue, but I'm leaning towards adding myself there should I become an admin, but neither do I condemn those refusing to join this movement. Let's move to "Rouge admins" now. I am a process wonk. Period. I have more than shown that during the February Userbox Wars, where I have endlessly defended the userboxes' "rights to TfD". ;-) I was in the camp that felt "hurt" by the deletionists' actions. Knowing what frustration it causes, I wouldn't fancy making such decisions myself (and hurting others). Still, WP:ENC has since become the single most important rule to me and I probably wouldn't hesitate long to invoke common sense and WP:IAR should the main goal of the Project be endangered.
