Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ezhiki

Ezhiki

I nominate Ezhiki for adminship. He is a bilingual (English/Russian) editor who has been with Wiki since March. He primarily concentrates on Russia and ex-USSR related issues. He is the originator and the primary contributor to Wikipedia:WikiProject Russian federal subjects. I believe his adminship would be very useful in maintaining consistency and resolving contested issues. Gene s 14:14, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I accept the nomination.--Ëzhiki (erinaceus europeaus) 14:19, Aug 19, 2004 (UTC)

5. Definately. [[User:Ilyanep|Ilyanep]] 16:11, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
6. Sometimes, the admin rights are handy for those who trying to keep the consistency. Dr Bug  (Volodymyr V. Medeiko) 18:08, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

14. Kim Bruning 21:14, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC) Blew me away with skill and patience at Republic one fine day.
15. David Cannon 11:15, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC). A great candidate. The fact that he is an interwiki user is a big plus also.

17. Ruhrjung 20:37, 2004 Aug 25 (UTC) Counting only the number of edits is of limited value. Four full months may be a somewhat short time of experience, but not necessarily too short.

Oppose:

1. не в это время. User is a TERRIFIC editor, terrific, terrific, terrific. But 1200 edits IMO is just too inexperienced. In other words, I don't think someone with 1200 edits is quite "jaded" enough for adminship. Will gladly support after 2000. blankfaze | (беседа!) 22:51, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

   Jaded. Hmm. interesting qualification. -- Cecropia | Talk 23:16, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

   • Haha - I just think with the amount of crap admins have to put up with (at least that's how it is in my experience), admin candidates should have LOTS of experience. blankfaze | (беседа!) 00:01, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

   I could stop using "Show preview" button for a while :))--Ëzhiki (erinaceus europeaus) 23:46, Aug 19, 2004 (UTC)

   • Hmm. Interesting point. I may give you a better look. If you really want my vote, consider instant messinging me at "blankfaze" on AIM, or finding me on IRC. blankfaze | (беседа!) 00:01, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

   Nah, that's all right. You probably have perfectly good reasons to believe that the number of edits is important. It is your decision after all.--Ëzhiki (erinaceus europeaus) 00:52, Aug 20, 2004 (UTC)

   • вы правы. blankfaze | (беседа!) 01:39, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

   I'm sorry, but I've been an admin since like July or June of last year and I just now am getting around 1500 edits. So please don't mind when I say this has nothing to do with it. [[User:Ilyanep|Ilyanep]] 15:50, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters, if you would kindly respond:

1. Have you read the section on Administrators?

A. Yes.

2. Are you interested in, and do you think you'll have some time to perform, the chores that only sysops have access to do, to help keep Wikipedia up to date?

A. Yes, if asked to. I would prefer editing over these chores though.

3. If you become a sysop, which sysop chore or chores (WP:VFD, recent changes, watching for vandals and vandalism, responding to editor requests for assistance, any other) do you especially think you would be able to help with.

A. I would be able to help with any of those, but again, this is not something I would like to spend most of my Wikipedia time on.

4. In your opinion, what article have you contributed the most succesfully and helpfully to?

A. Primorsky Krai and many articles that link from it.

5. In your opinion, what has your best contribution to the running and maintenance of Wikipedia been? (i.e., have you reverted a bad stretch of vandalism, done extensive work categorizing articles, helped mediate a dispute?)

A. Wikipedia:WikiProject Russian federal subjects, which is aimed at grouping the articles on Russian federal subjects into consistently formatted series, and the edits I made to the "19xx in television" (xx=48..72) series of articles, cleaning up a lot of mess there (there is still a lot of cleaning left to do).

6. 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 will deal with it in the future?

A. Nothing major, just little things here and there which are mostly settled through discussion.

Thanks and good luck!
