Voice your opinion! (42/9/4) Ending 23:52, 2006-08-20 (UTC)

Consumed Crustacean (talk · contribs) – This editor has almost 3000 edits, with a fair amount in Wikipedia and Talk namespaces. He has been around as a registered user since April 2005. He is civil in talk messages and generally gets along well.

CC has done a lot of administratorish work like reverting vandals with warnings, and participating in AFD.

I believe Consumed Crustacean is unlikely to abuse administrator tools and would benefit from having them. —Quarl (talk) 2006-08-13 10:41Z

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:
I accept this nomination. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 23:51, 13 August 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: Closing *fDs, dealing with speedy deletions, and other things with a significant backlog all interest me. Administrator tools could also be very useful in my patrolling; page move vandals who edit the original article have foiled me with my standard abilities and required that I wait awhile for an admin to show up and fix the problem; I could also respond more quickly to blatent vandals who pass their test4 and continue to distrupt things. Administrative powers would also allow for me to respond better to things posted in the deletion review, which I'm starting to grow somewhat fond of. The idea of these mundane chores excites me, for whatever strange reason.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: Well, I helped hammer out limits to the number of external links in the Spore (video game) article, despite much protest from people who it turned out owned the sites that they were repeatedly adding to it. That made me happy, as I do have a distaste for advertisements and for particularily long and useless External links sections. I've also helped clean articles such as James McCanney, which consisted of a large number of quotes and general rantyness taken directly from the subject's website.
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: I've had a relatively stress-free time on the Wikipedia, the worst things tend to be vandalism to by userpage, childish insults, or blatant vandals. I don't let things get to me, unless I'm in a very rare, sour mood in real life. Ed Poor did annoy me, after pulling me into a personal war of his due to a nonsensical page move to an article in my watchlist. I attempted to reason with him, but it wasn't really to any avail. I did get somewhat close to uncivility, so when he decided not to keep messing with said page I unwatched his talk page and didn't pursue it or him further. I was probably just in one of the previously mentioned sour moods, but I decided to not pursue him or the issue further when he stopped changing the page. Besides a limited amount of bias on my userpage, I keep it all in the real world and try to let none of it leak into here.
Optional Question 4 from - CrazyRussian talk/email: What's with the anti-scientology message? What's the point?

  • I realize I havn't been perfect in my utilization of edit summaries, though I have for the past while been trying to use them for most every edit to the articles. I've been a little lax in discussion pages, and in the Wikipedia namespace. However, I have found and checked the nice little preference to warn me when I use a blank edit summary, and I will strive for 100% from now onwards. I also feel I have an intimate knowledge of the Wikipedia's policies. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 23:51, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  7. Support An admittedly cursory review of Crusty's DRV work convinces me of his{?} readiness for adminship. :) Dlohcierekim 00:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Further rationale. OOPS, Almost forgot, thanks for the reminder. User has clear expertise in *FD that outweighs considerations of edit count and other criteria. Given the backlog at *FD, his abilities are already needed. Giving him adminship now will benefit Wikipedia I believe requiring a Featured Article of RfA candidates is overly strict but does not accurately gauge their suitability to be admin's. It artificially raises the bar for their editing ability while not addressing suitability in the areas of containing vandalism, *fD, or copyright. The backlogs in WP:AFD and WP:DRV, and those involving copyright problem images are affecting the quality of Wikipedia. More admin's are needed to deal with the backlogs. The greatest threats to Wikipedia are legal-- litigation has been brought or threatened because of libelous content added by vandals, notable subjects having articles about them removed as not notable, and use of copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright holder. The need for admins with demonstrated knowledge and expertise in these areas outweighs the need for more Featured Articles. Cheers,  :) Dlohcierekim 12:28, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Support, looks like a good admin candidate.-gadfium 00:53, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Support I've been impressed with many things Consumed has done, including gently correcting my misconception about strawpolls. He'd make a fine admin.--Kchase T 01:06, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  10. Support Would make a good admin. Dryman 01:40, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  15. Support. My contact with you has been entirely positive, and I can certainly believe that you'd make a good administrator. Good luck. RandyWang (chat me up/fix me up) 11:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  16. Support run into him frequently in WP:AFD. Seems like a wothwhile editor to me, just check the box that says "prompt me to leave an edit summary". ViridaeTalk 11:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  17. Weak Support, I never like candidates with a relatively low amount of article edits, especially those who has not been able to improve articles (no 1FA, but at least 2GA). Other than that, he will be a good admin for the tasks he has indicated. -- ReyBrujo 11:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  23. Looks good to me. Excellent userpage by the way. — GT 16:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm disappointed you changed your userpage. A great many Wikipedians' user pages contain polemical statements/userboxes, including admins, and nobody punishes them. Just because you are "on trial" here should not mean you bow to opposers' demands just to get their vote. — GT 22:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I may re-add my position or that link, once I figure out how to do it in a less provocative way. Having it the central element of my user page might irk some people. I completely understand that. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 22:19, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I've done so. If it still offends or profoundly bothers anyone, please inform me. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 22:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  24. Go for support. --Bigtop 17:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  25. Semi-weak support low edit count, but user does not look like he/she will abuse admin tools. CFIF (talk to me) 20:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  26. Support per nom. --Gray Porpoise 21:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  29. Support Already doing some of the chores, give 'im the mop! Vsmith 01:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  30. Support Does good work and will do more with the mop (I like the new userpage better, BTW). Eluchil404 02:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  31. Support based on experience in areas where additional admin resources are needed. I'd urge that whether or not this nomination succeeds, CC do some additional article work, as participation as an editor is the most enjoyable part of this project and also would help keep an admin plugged in to the needs of other users. Newyorkbrad 02:17, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  32. Support He needs the tools for what he is doing and he's doing a great job of it. I didn't so much mind the userpage, and he immediately changed it to accommodate those who may have been offended. Stubbleboy 02:21, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  33. Support per above. Michael 05:04, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    The user's motivation for this support vote seems to have been purely to enlist my help in a dispute he/she was having. Let it be. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 07:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Where in policy does it suggest that a user's motivations have anything to do with whether or not their RfA votes are valid? It's very unbecoming of a candidate to tamper with their own RfA against policy, even if it's to invalidate a support vote. Quill E. Coyote 07:55, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't know that it's specified anywhere in policy (RfA is just a process), though it is common practice to strike votes of permablocked editors. The easiest solution is to quit arguing about this vote and let the closing bureaucrat decide whether to count it.--Kchase T 08:16, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  3. Oppose activity since CC returned from a gigantic absence (July '05 - May '06 with minimal contributions in the interim) fails my experience criteria. Would appreciate if CC explained the absence. - CrazyRussian talk/email 13:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    And what's with the anti-scientology message? What's the point? - CrazyRussian talk/email 14:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Oppose. I appreciate the candidate taking ownership of the edit summary usage problem, but I see other issues that cause me concern. He doesn't seem to have engaged much in article writing (if he has, he should be pointing it out in Q2), which I think teaches editors as much about Wikipedia as fighting vandals and deleting things. One needs to know as much about adding things as removing them. Also, his userpage suggests that he is here with an agenda, which doesn't become anyone, let alone an administrator. I am open to being convinced otherwise. --Aguerriero (talk) 15:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    May I comment that I have not so much as touched the Scientology-related articles, besides possibly a couple typo edits? I do not POV-push. That I can not express my personal opinions on my personal userpage seems a bit crude. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 21:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Personal statements that could be considered polemical. -- ReyBrujo 21:24, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Aye, a perfectly valid point, and the reason I've removed the statement. I am far from the only one with statements unrelated to the Wikipedia, even if other's are less controversial, but I won't pursue it further. I know when I'm wrong ;) -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 21:27, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I appreciate the statement being removed. But.. it wasn't just a statement, was it? Previous versions linked to a YTMND site, with instructions on how to use Wikipedia to "google bomb". What is that? --Aguerriero (talk) 21:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I did? Oh yes, wops. It wouldn't tecnically work with the Wikipedia anyways (the suggestion was more for other sites), and I thought it was a bit abusive to even think about suggesting it, which is why I changed it to simply link to the YTMND with no suggestions. I did so within an hour. I was going to change the link to not simply say Scientology as well, but the link was added to the spam blacklist and the only possible thing I could do was remove it, which I didn't feel like doing at the time. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 21:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, well thanks for taking the time to explain this to me reasonably. --Aguerriero (talk) 22:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Changed to weak oppose. I'm very sorry, but the lack of edit summary usage within two days of this RfA as well as the link on your userpage "Scientology kills" have given me little choice but to oppose. Admins are often seen as the "face of Wikipedia", as incorrect an assumption as that may be, and the phrase "Scientology kills" may very easily scare off pro-Scientology users. Additionally, I'd like to see more main namespace edits. That being said, this user is a wonderful one and I will whole-heartedly support in a few months if more self-restraint is evident. Srose (talk) 14:10, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Oppose. Sorry, but policies like the 3RR revert rule are just too important to be subverted. Quill E. Coyote 03:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    What are you talking about, exactly? To the best of my knowledge, I've never violated the 3RR. Are you reading someone else's contributions? I notice that you warned a different user about 3RR violations; have you confused this user with myself? -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 03:29, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Discussion moved to Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Consumed Crustacean. —Quarl (talk) 2006-08-16 07:23Z
    A note to closing bureaucrat: Troll's vote. `'mikka (t) 19:46, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Oppose, CrazyRussian's observations worry me. —freak(talk) 12:33, Aug. 16, 2006 (UTC)
    And what's more, the candidate's failure to respond to those, particularly the latter, is very unbecoming. The anti-scientology messages are begging to be asked about - and if you, CC, choose to hold such opinions and display them as prominently as you do, you should at the very least be prepared to explain your conduct to give us a chance at AGF. - CrazyRussian talk/email 01:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    The absence was due to a personal matter. As for the scientology concerns: I'm not perfectly sure what you are inquiring about, since I did address this discussing with another user. I dislike Scientology as part of my personal set of morals, not unlike those which several users display on their userpages. I realize that the previous message was a little over the top, but that's why I had removed it and replaced it with "Scientology Kills". This is, incase you did not notice, the name of the website to which I linked. I didn't do this sooner because the particular site was added to the blacklist (people were repeatedly adding it to the Scientology article and others), which prevented me from making any edit that did not outright remove the link. Also, as I've previously made clear, I do not have an agenda on the Wikipedia. I have never made an NPOV violating edit, not even ones in disguise. There's no way I would even think of abusing the admin tools, since I know it would be easy to shoot me down and render this entire, lengthy process completely useless. I simply didn't realize that people would take such offense to content on my userpage. Now, I do. This conduct has never, and will never leave that page. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 02:57, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Oppose With apologies to the candidate, I have a very bad feeling about this adminship and the potentional for abuse. I'm very troubled by some observations and am worried about other factors. Yanksox 21:44, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Yanksox, could you elaborate? For example, it's unclear whether you're referring to your own observations or those made by others on this page. Thanks.--Kchase T 23:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    It's a combination of observations I have made and the opinions of other editors wishing to oppose. Yanksox 00:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Oppose. Ohnoitsjarnie 03:43, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    This is not User:Ohnoitsjamie. It appears to be an impersonator. Can an admin please handle this?--Kchase T 03:56, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I have blocked the user and stricken their vote above. JoshuaZ 04:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Strong Oppose. User persistantly vandalised my page, insisted it belonged to another user. Reggae Sanderz 04:53, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral
Neutral, for now. I have crossed him in CVG-related articles, and his edits have always appeared to me as good ones. However, no active email, which I agree is necessary for administrators. -- ReyBrujo 01:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Changed to support. -- ReyBrujo 11:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I completely forgot that I hadn't confirmed my email address. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 04:02, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Neutral - poor edit summary usage (yes I know you've noticed this but couldn't you get adjusted to using summaries more often before an RfA?), low edit count seeing as they've been here for 1+ year, the lowish edit count scares me seeing how many tasks the user wants to get involved in as an admin so I'm not convinced user has sufficient experience in all of those areas. I disliked the first part of A2.--Andeh 01:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    If I may point out, in the areas that Crustacean wants to work in, he has extensive edits. For example, in *fDs he has made many well thought comments and points in deletion discussions on a variety of topics. JoshuaZ 01:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Neutral. I know CC addressed poor edit summary usage above, but as recently as August 9, s/he has neglected to use summaries (see the history of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Homosexuality in ancient Greece). Srose (talk) 01:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Changed to weak oppose. Srose (talk) 14:10, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Neutral. I would like to see more actual article edits. Themindset 02:44, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Neutral - looks pretty good, but I'd like to see more edits in the main space before supporting. Will look very seriously at supporting next time if the RfA fails this time round and s/he becomes a bit more active over a few months. Metamagician3000 11:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Neutral - I'm between neutral and support here, but I'll have to go neutral on you. I personally think you have too few main article edits, but you have a decent size of edits in the namespaces of wikipedia and user_talk. If you get above 1,000 main page edits, I'd definitely throw my support for you. --Nishkid64 01:03, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
