Nomination

Yunshui (talk · contribs) – Whenever I get a chance, I try to help out at Editor Review, with the vague hope of finding an excellent candidate for adminship. A few months ago, I found Yunshui, a hard-working editor who wanted a bit of feedback. The more I investigated, the more impressed I was and now I believe he's reached the point that he should put himself forward for mop-duties.
Yunshui clearly has the right temperment to be an administrator, I've not seen him lose his head in any of the investigations I've done. He certainly has a good track record in administrative areas, participating in hundreds of WP:AfDs, has a long CSD log (despite only moving to Twinkle in May), along with hundreds of edits to WP:UAA and WP:AIV.
Although not one of our most prolific content creators, he has created around 75 articles and does spend time working on those articles that interest him, pretty much singlehandedly creating Chikaraishi. Instead, he occupies his time helping new editors, answering questions at the helpdesk, responding to feedback, even writing a series of essays "for beginners".
In short, I believe Yunshui would make an excellent administrator, I hope you do too. Worm^TT(talk) 13:27, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Co-nomination by Vibhijain

Its a pleasure for me to co-nominate Yunshui for the admin tools. A great vandalism fighter, he shows all those signs which I look for an administrator. He is trustworthy, helpful, civil, and most importantly, he knows what he is doing. Instead of simply reverting newbies, he always makes a point to help them in learning Wikipedia policies and guidelines, which makes him a great asset to the project. Also the way he deals with conflicts is superb. I believe that handing the administrator rights to Yunshui will benefit the project in a great sense. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^{Talk Email} 10:39, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

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. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

A: Much of my best work has been in the field of anti-vandalism and dealing with other unsuitable additions to the encyclopedia, so I anticipate being active primarily at AIV, UAA and RPP. I've often noticed backlogs at these pages, especially RPP, and as a regular reporter to them I know how frustrating it can be when a report doesn't get a quick response. I also expect to work at CSD and AFD; I've spent a lot of time using both and believe I have a fairly sound understanding of the relevant policies. Yunshui 雲‍水 07:22, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

A: I'm quietly proud of Chikaraishi, which I took to GA virtually single-handed; who knew there was so much to say about a load of rocks? Much of the content I create has been, by necessity, fairly stubby; there isn't much available in English on many of the topics that interest me, so I've often had to put together what I can from sources and then wait for other Japanese-speaking editors to finish the job. I've recently joined WikiProject Japan, which will hopefully give me better opportunities to create content. A list of some of the articles I've had most to do with is available on my userpage here, for anyone who's interested. However, I see my efforts to preserve the integrity of the encyclopedia as my most useful work on the project: reverting vandals, tagging patently unsuitable content and trying to help new users learn the ropes before they do too much damage is, sadly, as important as content creation nowadays, Yunshui 雲‍水 07:22, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

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: I've gotten into a few disputes so far. I'd point to the furore over Woodleigh School, North Yorkshire (see this AfD, this AfD, the article talkpage (including archives) and this talkpage thread for details) and the incident over Downside School (details here) as a couple of the most heated. I suppose the most stress I've been caused to date was when User:Ksanthosh89 started systematically proposing every article I'd ever created for deletion (in response to this thread), although that was over with fairly quickly after this ANI report. Feel free to delve through my talkpage archives; there are plenty more instances there. My usual approach to such events is to remain detached and try to help the other user(s) understand why I believe Wikipedia's policies support my position rather than theirs; that's the vein in which I plan to continue.

Support

1. Strong support - One of the best editors I have seen around. An editor who fights vandalism, makes accurate CSD tagging, loves content creation, helps newcomers by giving feedback, gives the right advise and is always ready to help along is nothing but a "perfect candidate" to me. I just opened this and quickly gave out my !vote. No doubt whatsoever in his ability. — TheSpecialUser ^≪TSU≫ 08:06, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
2. Support Excellent nominator. I can't say much more than I did in the nomination, I've had my eye on Yunshui as a candidate for a while, and I hope he's what people are looking for. Worm^TT(talk) 08:09, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
