User:Vanamonde93/User page



 Welcome to my userpage. I edit Wikipedia because I enjoy the process of research and writing. I also believe in free and open access to knowledge. I write content related to 20th century history and politics, biology, music, and speculative fiction. Much of my work has been on political history in countries of the Global South, which are  very poorly covered  on Wikipedia. I am also an administrator, and I spend some time on various maintenance tasks. Karellen93 is my  alternative account  for insecure connections.   A sunset  behind the  Matterhorn

I have been an Administrator here since September 2, 2016, with a brief hiatus in late 2017 for reasons unrelated to Wikipedia. Here is my Request for Adminship. I have since nominated or co-nominated ten other editors for adminship; EvergreenFir, Rosguill, Newslinger, Nick Moyes, Wugapodes, ScottishFinnishRadish, ComplexRational, Aoidh, Novem Linguae, and Firefangledfeathers. If you take issue with one of my actions, feel free to leave me a message, and I will be happy to discuss it. Fellow administrators; if you believe that I took a bad administrative action, or an action for which the reasons no longer apply, feel free to undo it without first getting my permission. If you do so, please leave a note on my talk page afterwards.

At my RFA, I stated that I would be open to recall, so here is the process for that, with the proviso that time and circumstances may compel me to change it. If I take an admin action that you feel does not meet the standards that an administrator should, please discuss it with me first. If that does not resolve the issue, then a discussion should be opened at the administrator noticeboard. The discussion should be open for a reasonable period of time, and should be closed by an uninvolved administrator. If at this point there is consensus among experienced editors in good standing who have not been party to previous disputes with me that I should resign, then I will do so.
