Nomination

ToadetteEdit (talk · contribs) – I am applying for sysop rights so that I can expand my capabilities. I have 10000 edits, here for almost a year and created six articles (excluded draftings and deleted ones.) I've addressed the issues raised on my talk page but I am interested in closing XfDs and working at wp:UAA in addition to block users who triggered edit filters disruptively as well as to bypass restrictions during XfD work and AfC work. I have patroller, rollbacker and reviewer rights. There is a recent shortage of admins as documented by The Signpost stories. I also gained positive feedback from others, so I devided to kick off this nomination. I have never edited for pay and owned two accounts, this one and the other called "Unleashedwiki" which I abandoned due to confused credentials following a rename.


Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?
A: I am interest for applying for the sysop kit to better close XfDs. This venue is often understaffed and needs more admins, so I'm throwing my hat in. I really wanted to clear the backlog more efficiently by actually deleting pages and having the noratelimit (I get hit by this when relisting a discussion with many nominated pages). I am also in handy in reporting usernames at wp:UAA so this is my next area of focus. In addition, I will also work at wp:AIV/TB2 and block editors who triggered the edit filter disruptively. While not frequently, I will also help out at wp:AIV, wp:RFPP and wp:PERM
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: My best contributions are attaining a DYK on Adly Mansour Transportation Hub (appeared on main page 2024/01/30) and having my ITN recognition on an article that I have updated. These are my best contributions to date, but in the backstage is my reviews of AfC drafts (I have reviewed more than 300 drafts in the last week) and I am leaning a lot from AfC. (Wikipedia desperately needs more and more articles and there are potentially notable, suitable topics.)
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: Yes, many, many times including a pblock from wp:ANI (I've learnt from the issues that led to this and never edited ANI at all since then (and not willingly to edit the page even after this), a copyvio on Regional Ring Road (Egypt), creation of a topic about Crypto Aid Israel, closing certain discussions at XfDs (AfD, CfD, FfD, and TfD), and others which I don't remember but I know these mistakes now and won't repeat the same issues again. I've resolved the mistakes and is unlikely for these to be taken to ANI but I also know that I won't be echoing the same mistake so to not lose the respect of the community.

You may ask optional questions below. There is a limit of two questions per editor. Multi-part questions disguised as one question, with the intention of evading the limit, are disallowed. Follow-up questions relevant to questions you have already asked are allowed.

General comments
  • Fair play on being the first one into the barrel Toadette!  :) And the self-nom to boot. Signs of strength of character required in a good admin I think.
    Am slightly leary about the chronology though. You joined in May 2023. In late Aug Bbb23 p/blocked you from ANI for unnecessary clerking—which was never appealed?—which expired in late November. So that was five months ago. Altogether, it works out at ~eight months of unblocked tenure. Is that long enough for adminship? I'm also not so keen on the >58% automated edits, although the >97% edit summary usage is a plus.
    Incidentally, while I can see the commendability in avoiding ANI after the block, I don't think the community wants assurances that you are not "willingly to edit the page even after this": It's more important that you demonstrate you can return to ANI and not clerk—this shows the issue has not just been addressed, but resolved. On the other hand, not editing there again avoids the problem and provides no real reassurances. And it would be odd to nominate an administrator on the platform that they don't want to edit an administrator noticeboard.
    On the other hand, you edit exsively in PIA areas and have successfully avoided appearance at AE, which demonstrates a sureness of footing yet also a certain delicacy of interaction. Again, an excellent sign. ——Serial Number 54129 13:06, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
