Scheduled to end 16:13, 20 December 2014 (UTC) or earlier. It's been six months since the community decided I was fit to be an administrator. There have been a few bumps in the road, and I've learned a lot from them. Some administrative areas weren't as rewarding to work in as I thought they'd be (namely WP:ANEW), other areas I didn't think I would work in I've turned out to be a regular (such as WP:SPI). All in all I'm fairly pleased with where I am, but I am very interested to hear the community's opinion on that.

Please understand this is a request for review of my administrative actions and conduct in general. If you have an unresolved issue with me or something I did, please use my talk page so that we can discuss it there. I am aware that the admin review is bound to attract some negative feedback, but so long as it's constructive I'd love to hear it. I do reserve the right to remove any material I deem inappropriate. I plan to close this review within a few month's time. Thanks to all for their input. &mdash;  MusikAnimal talk 16:13, 20 October 2014 (UTC)


 * One of the few admin names I instantly recognise and see regularly while editing. From what I've seen doing a good job at both directly tackling vandals and doing admin tasks. Keep up the good work. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:16, 22 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Good work on your reversion of vandals, my friend; I see you've made some waves around here with that. You also look like you have a good track record of deletions, blocks, and protections (i.e. admin stuff). This is optional, but I think you could focus a bit more on article creation, and improvements like DYKs, GAs, and FAs. You have 8 GAs already, which is fine, but you don't seem to have any DYKs except for those that are also GAs, according to your user page. – Epicgenius (talk) 02:37, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Not that it matters, but I achieved a DYK with 32 Old Slip before it being promoted to good article status (usually it is the other way around, as articles are eligible for DYK when recently promoted). You are correct, though, that my article work is quite low. Unfortunately I have but about one or two days a week to devote time to content creation and associated research. On the other hand my usual anti-vandal work does not require undivided attention, and I am able to quickly assess situations and take administrative action. While I don't think content work is critical to being an adept admin, it is still valued feedback that I appreciate you taking the time to share. &mdash;  MusikAnimal talk 01:37, 31 October 2014 (UTC)


 * You're doing fine with the tools so far. For some reason I always lighten up when I see your username in the page history. Keep up the good work - you're doing a massive favor for the project! --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!   See what I have done  12:11, 27 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, I noticed that you reverted the cultural marxism page to an edit from earlier today which is very biased. On Wikipedia we like to keep articles neutral, especially ones dealing with sensitive social issues. So please keep the page how it was before today's nonsense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnyg128 (talk • contribs)
 * This does concern an administrative action I took so I will leave it here in my review, although you made the same inquiry on my talk page. I know very little about marxism but I know an edit war when I see one, which was the case at Cultural Marxism and Frankfurt School conspiracy theory. Something had to be done to stop disruption, so I fully protected both articles and encouraged discussion, which seems to be going well. I would usually revert to the state prior to the edit war, but the edit war seemed to go quite a ways back in history. I unfortunately don't have the time to carefully read through the sizeable article and revisions to find the "right" version, especially when I know so little about the subject. Frankly as the protecting admin I don't feel obligated to either, at least when it is not obvious. Through discussion you and other involved editors can together determine what's best for the article(s), and that can be implemented accordingly either through edit request or after the protection expires. Given the circumstances I stand by administrative decision. &mdash;  MusikAnimal talk 01:25, 31 October 2014 (UTC)


 * No concerns with your use of tools or editing in general, keep up the good work!  Snuggums ( talk  /  edits ) 03:41, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * From my personal experience, I've found MusikAnimal's actions on blocking editors very lenient and constructive. I think he does decent job in resolving conflicts and participates in creating a healthy community.--Retrohead (talk) 23:23, 7 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Honestly - MusikAnimal is a role model for anyone wanting to be an admin, He's polite, calm, civil, lenient and someone's who's a great asset to this place, - I would go as far to say he's one of the best admins here!, No concerns at all, Keep up the great work! :) – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  01:56, 13 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Davey said it all. MA, since your promotion, you've become one of the best administrators IMO. Like Davey said, you seem calm, polite, civil, and lenient. No complaints. :) -- Amaryllis Gardener  talk 15:15, 17 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Friendly, polite, active and very helpful. Performing admin tasks is a thankless job and even in the midst of all the craziness, MA does a spectacular job defending the wiki with his mop and his signature calm demeanour. Thank you. - NQ  (talk)  19:09, 6 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I cast the seventh !vote in support of your RFA, where I commented "Should make a great administrator". You have not disappointed. You do diligent and conscientious work and have a good demeanor. You are constructive in anti-vandalism work. I encourage you not to become overwhelmed or stressed out. If that means you reduce your content contribution, so be it. That seems to occur with many administrators. A good, diligent administrator is very valuable to the project. Content contributions may provide some diversion, are of great importance, and keep in touch with the work you are administering. But I suggest not carrying that to the point of becoming a burden.

 * No issues.You are handling adminship very well.-- Param Mudgal talk? 12:15, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
