This user has been a model Wikipedian and has helped out in many areas of this Wikipedia. This user has, in my opinion, been of great service to this site and has also helped me out whenever I needed help. He has done an awesome job with many of his edits and has helped revert vandalism whenever the need was there. I think that this user will make a good admin because of these facts and also these facts: He (I am assuming that it is a he) has created many pages (all of them helping to increase the helpfulness of this site), he has a kind of good-humored personality (meaning he is incredibly friendly), and he is overall a nice guy. I know it says that it is preferred that a user has 3 months of experience, but the key word there is preferred. Preferred doesn't mean that you have to be a member for exactly 3 months to be able to become an admin, and I think that this user is definitely someone that you should make an exception for because I believe that this user will use the administration tools to help out this website and not as a way to get power over other users.

• Support - There has been a lot of discussion about this, namely, that we have too many admins. 70% of our active editors are admins. But honestly, what's so bad about that? It shows that we trust our editors and it encourages them to edit more! Plus, you just have to see the green and orange explosion of barnstars on Lights' userpage to know that he is admin material.

• • Comment: The number of barnstars doesn't really mean anything. I am the one who gave him like 4 barnstars. They don't necessarily meant that the user is a good user.

    • @Razorflame Not necessarily. This user correctly followed the recommended procedures adding a note to the Vandalism in progress page. I'm convinced that he/she will still follow the community guidelines if and when elected as admin. Please note that user pages of those who place correct warnings are often vandal targets, so my note is not completely unrelated and also means that the candidate is inclined to RC patrolling.— This unsigned comment was added by M7 (talk • changes).

Adminship is not about how many edits you have or if your are among the top 49's on the stats or what you have done on other wiki's, it is about if the community trust you with the tools, I don't think you should be opposing because your RFA failed and you dealt with vandals like Cometstyles does, I think you should be opposing because of how the editor edits, I am not saying to change your vote but consider what I said, one day a user might oppose your RFA because their's failed.

Weak Oppose Do we need to get every editor from EN WP over here and give them sysop tools? Cometstyles? Come on. We should give everybody sysop tools if Cometstyles gets this. Only thing Cometstyles does here is revert vandalism. This is the same way DerHexer got away with adminship. If we're going to be pushovers, why not nominate Willy on Wheels.

Editors who only revert vandalism don't need the sysop tools, because they are already doing a good job. How will the sysop tools help them?

However, Comestyles is a good editor, and I don't think s/he will pull a Molag Bal out on us.

♫♫ just another stupid hive-day. Wish it was sunday ♫♫ Sam24 18:03, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

User made five edits, four to userpage. Also note: "Editors who only revert vandalism don't need the sysop tools" - then rollback is useless then, and bad pages delete themselves and vandals block themselves. Admins who revert vandalism are the ones who need tools. Anyone else, I'd question it. hmm. Majorly (talk) 18:25, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Is there a rule against new users voting? no real reason for the oppose. I think there should be a rule. --Yegoyan 18:26, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

There is no official Rule (policy or guideline) but there is a widely accepted general concept. This user's vote is not likely to be counted under a variety of reasons (created during the voting period, no edits, likely sock-puppetry). Even if it were counted, consensus is apparent in the matter of the RfA. -- Creol(talk) 23:12, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Also (in continuation to Majorly's comment above), I see no reason for generalizing a situation abotu a special user who has contributed here for some time, to "every editor from EN WP". Of course, if any editor from any other wiki starts helping here and shows us that he/she can be trusted, he may get admin permissions, if it is requested. - Huji ^reply 18:29, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Not to jump to conclusions, but, when I read this it makes me think that this is a sockpuppet of Spiderpig0001, does anyone else think this? . Oysterguitarist 19:24, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Probably is it seems he was blocked for sock puppeting on en, [1] before. --Yegoyan 19:33, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Probably a sock, seems strange how Sam24 made a simalar oppose vote as Spiderpig0001 and Sam24's only edits are this oppose vote and his userspace. — Lights (talk) 19:40, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

No, this is not a sock. Checkuser will prove. Also, those EN socks were Trolls too (again, look at Checkuser there.)-- Spiderpig0001 Does whatever a spiderpig does! 20:25, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Barliner (3rd nomination)

Ended on November 14, 2007 - 100% support

I would like to re-nominate Barliner for adminship. He has been a great help to this wiki as an awesome contributor, despite the fact that anybody really rewards him for doing so. While I am certainly aware, that he has been perviously nominated twice for sysophood, his second nomination from Spiderpig0001 was closed due to the fact that the nomination occurred only 2 weeks after his first one, not really making it an "official" RfA. Anyhow, Barliner is probably the most active non-admin user here as he currently has over 5000 edits (3207 in mainspace edits) and has been contributing at a very rapid pace. I also think that if he is granted sysop tools, he could monitor vandalism while the other admins are offline. I don't think he would ever abuse his sysop tools and could further help contributing in this wiki with extra tools. He has also accepted my offer on my talk page. --§ Snake311 _{(T + C)} 01:26, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Ended on October 16, 2007 - 100% support

Hello everyone. I've been here for almost 10 months, and I'm nominating myself for adminship. There are many times when I could have used the tools, to delete test pages (I have over 60 deleted edits, and most of those are QD requests) or block vandals. Sometimes, when there has been serious vandalism, I have had to ask the stewards for help, because no admins were awake. I know all the policies, and how to use the buttons, so I can get started quickly if I'm accepted. Werdan7^{T @} 23:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

• Weak support. I've noticed that Werdan7 has some skills of being a vandalism patroller and meets the basic requirements expected from an admin, but discovered that about one-fifth to one-fourth of his total edits come from the AWB tool. While I can't oppose because of his great work as a counter-vandal patroller, I think that I could probably trust him to use the mop; as long as it helps simplewiki from vandals. --§ Snake311 _{(T + C)} 02:15, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

• Support: "Get them if you need them". As one of our most vigilant NC patrollers, Werdan7 certainly needs them. The edit count may be at the low end, but another 75 (yes, I actually counted them) of his deleted edits would actually also count as they are part of the constant stream of QD articles we deal with daily. I have seen no problems at all with his understanding of policy and practice and fully trust he will use the needed tools for the betterment of the Wiki. -- Creol(talk) 02:56, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to our little project. You have read Wikipedia:Criteria for Adminship. You therefore know that administration is mostly about trust. We are are much smaller project than EnWP, there are very few pages that are permanently protected. You can therefore do all what you wrote about, without being an admin. All an admin can do is delete or protect pages; Simple users can request both with templates or a message to one of the several admins. I therefore propose you start doing what you propose to do, and in about 3 month time (February), you re-apply, when you see that you really need the two tabs. -Eptalon 01:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

To become an administrator means a lot to me. First off, I wouldn't have to ask Barliner or Cometstyles to delete my userspace redirects for me, and second off, since I already help a lot with vandals and vandalism, I would be able to deal with them in a more efficient manner instead of having to wait between 15 and 40 minutes for an administrator to do something about. Even though I don't meet the time requirement yet, I do believe that I have made enough worthwhile edits to be able to request adminship. I know that most of my articles have not been long enough, but I do believe that a good portion of my edits have been to the benefit of this site. I know that I have a lot of deleted edits, but that is only because of the number of edits I made into my userspace pages that I was simplifying, then moved out into the mainspace, then had Barliner or Cometstyles delete for me. I hope you will find me to be a worthy canadite now, and in the future. Thanks for your time and reading this. -Razorflame 03:52, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

• Wow. I must say I'm quite surprised at this self-nomination. I've certainly been impressed with your edits over the last few days. You seem like a serious editor and show great potential. However, I must oppose. It is important that editors be active for a few months before we can truly determine what kind of user they are. It is next to impossible to make that decision after a single week's worth of edits. Please take my advice and withdraw your nomination and wait 3 months or so before nominating yourself again. I hope I'm not discouraging you from continuing to edit here. I genuinely think you might make a good admin here someday.

To all my fellow Wikipedians. I wish to run for Adminiship tools on this Wikipedia. I wish to have the tools given to me so I can help fight vandals, and reduce the strain on the 15 or so other SysOp's here. I will answer the Questions candiates for this role are asked on EN.

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in? - I intend to help fight vandals, as well as to help reduce the strain on our 15 current SysOp's. People come here to learn when they cannot understand EN, and as we are being vandalized more, we need more SysOps.

2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why? - I believe my best contribution to this Wikipedia was my edits to the now deleted Article Improvement Drive. I created this as I believed at the time Wikipedia had not been worked on enough. My best article I believe is Harris Scarfe. After this page went as a EN Copy-Paste, I decided to keep working on it, this time in Simple, and believe I have done a good job.

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? - I have not had any Wikistress (my retirement was due to off-wiki issues), but I have been in a dispute over EN Copy Paste, when I were new here. I have since ceased doing this, and have written my own entries from scratch.

I will be happy to answer any further questions you may have. I hope to be able to be trusted with the tools, will declare myself open to recall if I betray your trust, and hope to be able to help this Wikipedia better! -- Spiderpig0001 Does whatever a spiderpig does! 00:15, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose yet again. Admin is about many things, and trust is first most. It is also about dedication, devotion, and especially need. Dedication and devotion are shown in providing useful help to the wiki, but with only 146 main space edits, this is not evident. You have only contributed to less than 0.7% (max) of our articles here. In the last month, you have only made 9 edits to articles. Even before considering if I can say I trust a user to use the tools, I have to believe that the user is going to need the tools to help the project. If I do not think that giving the tools to someone is going to benefit the wiki, there is no need to deal with whether I trust that person with the tools. I fully do not believe granting the tools in this case is going to help the wiki. As in prior cases, it just appears the user is trying to get the tools just to get them and not to provide additional service. I fully support Sarah Ewart's comments at the last RfA against this users self-nomination. I can not see how anything has changed since then to change matters. -- Creol(talk) 08:15, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

  (and as a side note: accuracy is also important. Spellcheck before you post as it never helps your cause when you request "Adminiship" and answer questions commonly asked of other "caniates". And while I would guess Cometstyles is just as upset at Oysterguitarist as you for hacking up his name, I doubt he is happy with anyone "regarting" him. ) -- Creol(talk) 08:15, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

As in prior cases, it just appears the user is trying to get the tools just to get them and not to provide additional service.. I am trying to get the tools to provide additional service, not just for the sake of getting them. I have the right to be able to try and get these tools. I want to be able to help Wikipedia more. Also, Cometstyles only has 700 or 800 edits, and his RfA is going to pass.

• Strong oppose. You obviously don't understand our policies if you are still being warned about blanking pages instead of marking them with {{QD}}. You were first told about this issue 6 months ago. You don't listen to the advice of other users and to be perfectly honest, I don't trust someone who refuses to listen and to follow policies. The admin team is a team. We must work together to accomplish the goal of making a successful encyclopedia. You don't seem to want to work cooperatively with others.

As Browne34 mentioned, blanking the pages is not helpful to administrators. Nishkid64 (talk) 01:22, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose - I think you care too much about statistics instead of actual edits. You shouldn't support or oppose someone's request just because of their edit count...there could be a vandal who had over 1000 edits (Hopefully not), and be in the "top 49 editors" or whatever it is. Please don't take this personally, but I don't think you understand what being an admin is about. Sysops aren't the editors with the highest edit count. They are the people that the community trusts to use the tools in the right way. I also don't understand why you keep blanking pages. You don't have to to blank a page before deleting it. Right now, instead of racing to adminship, please take a step back and just edit for a while. --Isis§^(talk) 16:19, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll probably end myself this vote for the third time at midnight (French hour) because not a single sysop will dare oppose two sysops against me about this UWP story. Nevertheless, I'll remain an User, staying in top fifty among other Users... and dreaming that one day, each top fifty will be given a chance to prove during a one week trial whether or not he can be trusted as a sysop. ONaNcle 14:56, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

ONaNcle, I don't think being an admin (meaning being trusted by others) has anything to do with being a top-50 editor. - Huji ^reply 15:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Dreaming just a little Template:Smiley I tell you. ONaNcle 15:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello ONaNcle. As pointed out above, protecting Simple (That is what Admins do) is a team effort. You will see that for most deletes, there is a broad agreement amongst admins. We might differ on how long to ban someone, or to protect a page, but generally, we agree that a certain behaviour is vandalism, and needs acting upon. I for my part believe that you could make a great administrator here, but that there are certain (minor) things that need honing. Marking a page for deletion (with the respective tag instead of blanking it) is one such thing. Using the edit summary (at least most of the time, I know I am guilty of forgetting that too sometimes) is another. There are a few such things, that we have not been aware that you changed. Most of them are small things, as pointed out. I personally think you have great chances of being awarded the status change. As to the "admin on probation" thing, I don't really know, it sounds unusual to me (I have also no idea how hard it is to change the status back to normal user). Do not despair, there is hope. --Eptalon 16:20, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Dear ONaNcle, I think {{QD}} is created to be used for marking pages for quick deletion, and almost every user uses this method to mark pages for quick deletion. So what is the point in calling what everbody does (and works perfectly) as beloved bureaucratic? What exactly do you get by naming it in such a way, other than making people who use this method unhappy about your tone?

No matter you become an admin by the end of this voting or not, you are still welcome to contribute to Wikipedia in many of the other available ways, and things can be facilitated if you show more coordination with the other users, even in such minor things like how to mark a page for quick deletion. Best, - Huji ^reply 18:11, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

ONaNcle, I think you really need to look at why you're doing this. You seem to distrust us and see administrators as above regular users, but it's really not that different. You talk about sysops not daring to disagree with each other - most of us have disagreed with each other on many occasions, we don't stick together. However, we do have to be able to work together, despite differences of opinion, and it seems you find it difficult to communicate with people effectively. Even if you don't agree with something, you must be able to express your opinion without sounding rude. Archer7 - talk 14:05, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Greetings, fellow users! I'm requesting adminship to do some tasks around. I need the tools to delete some unneeded talkpage redirects. However, I don't have a massive editcount here, and I haven't been here for 10 months, but I feel I know policy here very well. You can feel free to ask me questions below. I've done some article work here as well, with Bloemfontein currently at peer review. I'm reasonably experienced here, and I'm also quite trusted on other projects (I'm an admin on en.wiki, and I was also made a temporary admin on the Kabyle Wikipedia to clean up vandalism.

You mean, me and Archer7? Personally I think it is reasonable to impose a time limit for CU votes, since we have one for other votes on this page — rather than have it continue indefinitely, but I don't know if there are any precedents over at meta on this question. I also think Huji's intention to close on the 13th sounds like a generous and fair amount of time to try and round up the required consensus for a 4th CU.

Hello there, I do have some observations. 78% of the edits are in main space; there are no deleted edits, and 1.27 edits per page seems reasonably low. The user has been around for over six months. Administratorship is about trust. Few people trust complete strangers. This is the problem here. At currently 42 edits [4], I feel getting the trust of the community might be a little hard. --Eptalon 12:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
