NCurse

Voice your opinion. (29/0/0) Ending 12:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

NCurse (talk · contribs) – It's my pleasure to nominate NCurse for adminship. In addition to being an admin on the Hungarian Wikipedia and creating the Hungarian Wikiquote, since May he's racked up some 4000 edits on the English Wikipedia. During that time he's taken Portal:Medicine up to featured status, and co-ordinates Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine and Wikipedia:Science collaboration of the month, amongst other things. He helps out new users[1] and reverts vandalism[2] (with appropriate warnings[3]). Being a newpage patroller,[4] he's certainly got a need for the tools. As an admin on another project, he's got experience dealing with difficult users, and can keep his head,[5] even when other editors lose theirs.[6] Let's be realistic here: NCurse has the basic level of trust required (a lot more than that, in fact) and previous experience as an admin. He's demonstrated dedication to this project with his featured portal and willingness and ability to co-ordinate wikiprojects. I can't think of any reason why he wouldn't be an extremely productive administrator.

  • Edit count - in excess of 4000 [7]
  • Time around - Active on Wikimedia projects for over a year, admin on hu.wiki for 7 months, active on en.wiki for 6 months
  • Email enabled? - Yes
  • Controversial userpage? - No
  • Any blocks? - None
  • Stupid signature? - No
  • Edit summaries - 80% for major and 43% for minor, though I've asked him to enable that feature in My Preferences which forces the use of edit summaries, so that should rise to 100% for both as of today.
  • Civil? Yep
  • Personal attacks? - None
  • Any edit warring? - None

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 do you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog and Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: I love removing backlogs. I shortpage and newpage patrol already, so CAT:CSD would be an obvious place I could lend a hand. I'd like to help more on Requested moves, stubs (I'm active member of Stub sorting project), WP:CFD and WP:RFI. Several times, I tried to help in debates [8]), as an admin, it'd be much easier to help if needed.
On enwiki, I've participated in about 1-2 dozens of AfDs. I must say as an admin on hungarian Wikipedia (since February), I had time to learn how to handle deletion tasks (you can see this on User:NCurse/Admin coaching). There were times when I had to close every kind of votes regularly (AfD, Speedy deletions, Images and Copyright violations). I know the policies, just after about a half thousand voting processes, I didn't start to participate more seriously here. NCurse work 12:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I'm really proud of Medicine portal which became featured after User:Stevenfruitsmaak and me started to work on it hard. I work so much on Medical genetics and Medicine wikiprojects (assessments take time), then coordinating Medicine and Science collaboration of the month means a big deal too.
I've contributed the most to the Melanoma article, mainly when it had a peer review. [9] I've found plenty of references for the article, and uploaded 4 images with the proper tags (see above). I requested permission from the American Academy of Dermatology , and it seems now that I'll get more permissions for other images to upload (I recently got the positive answer from Danita Smith, the coordinator of their webpage). I'd like it to become WP:FA in weeks.
My most respected contribution was awarded with a barnstar [10] for reorganizing Medicine WikiProject from this [11] to this [12] version. NCurse work 12:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
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 have one conflict with User:Khaj on Melanoma talk page. Maybe not the best reference, but on the hungarian Wikipedia, I've had the possibility to deal with nearly every kind of vandals and conflict-makers. The community there is small so one bad, evil user can ruin the whole mood. No one can make me nervous or frustrated. No one can make me surprised. Just see my anon warnings, I never talk or answer "loudly". So now, after one year of using Wikipedia I can say honestly, I can deal with any kind of vandals.

  12. Support. Being both friendly and technically capable since our first encounter, I have been amazed with the huge amount of work NCurse does for the Wikipedia projects to which he contributes, and had assumed he was an admin on en from the outset. In particular he has been singlehandedly responsible for establishing the medical genetics Wikiproject and I feel his successful adminship would further assist his work on this Wikiproject as well as the Wikiproject medicine. --apers0n 15:25, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
