I'm now in my third month of mop-wielding, and seem to have done little else since passing RFA. However, I'd like to make sure that I'm getting it right, so I'd appreciate feedback on people's views of my tool use (and conduct generally, of course). Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 10:21, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I can't believe it's the third month already. As you have no doubt noticed I've come across your admin actions a few times, and the only ones which I see problems with are where you're still learning what a particular action does and when to use which particular bit of the tool (referring to the soft block thing). But these are the sorts of things which I would imagine you to pick up along the way. Whenever I've had a question or comment about something, or had an issue with one of your admin actions you have always been helpful, respectful and demonstrated a desire to do better rather than try and cover it up or excuse yourself. From what I've seen with your dealing with other editors you are always civil and try to do your best to explain the situation. I'm also quite impressed with your willingness to give editors second (and third) chances when it comes to unblocking (and before blocking). As well as your willingness to reinvestigate things and offer what you see to be the best outcome, such as your suggested unblock of . Thanks also for working through the almost constant backlog at WP:RFPP. I think my comments can be summed up with "keep doin' what your doin'" :).

 * Yunshui is a very friendly, leveled-headed, patient, and easy to approach admin. He is always eager to help new editors, such as myself, and I feel comfortable going to him if I ever need any assistance. :) SassyLilNugget (talk) 20:45, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

 * 雲水 Is a big help with the Spam user blocking. --Vincent Liu (something to say?) 06:35, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

A very good Administrator: Yunshui has been a great help when a few know-nothings decided to use my School's IP Address to try and annoy me, he's also helped me change my Talk Page Signature and has correctly applied 'only warning' to an account clearly made just to continue damage after the IP Address was blocked. I very much would say that Yunshui is doing a very good job as an Administrator. Meva - CHCSPrefect - (GIMME A POTATO CHIP! C:) 14:35, 22 October 2012 (UTC) Forgot to mention how he originally helped me with the userbox chaos on my user page. Add that to the list of the great things Yunshui has done to help me out :) Meva / CHCSPrefect - (Give cake?)  23:33, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Yunshui is VERY friendly and patient when it comes to new users. He responds to vandalism quickly and effectively, and as his adoptee, I know that Yunshui has done a lot to help both me and the Community. Three cheers to Yunshui!

 * A wikipedia Guru Mr yunshui has been tremendously helpfull and very simplisitic in expliaining things to new bees, very experienced and a pot of knowledge base on how wiki works and also in guiding people Shrikanthv (talk) 12:54, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * A very helpful and good editor as well as administrator. Keep continuing doing good works. Torreslfchero (talk) 08:04, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * You seem a bit weak on the issue of confirmed users. I've clarified the docs to be more direct, but "confirmed" is just a shortcut-method for reaching autoconfirmed status.  Adding it to an already-autoconfirmed user's account is pointless.  The reason confirmed exists is so that if a brand-new account needs to have the same rights as an autoconfirmed account (oh, because the WMF hired a new employee, maybe), then you can skip the four-days-and-ten-edits requirement.  Once you've passed the four days and ten edits, though, it's just a waste of time to give them this "right".  WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:48, 6 November 2012 (UTC) I miscounted; Yunshui was right that the editor wasn't autoconfirmed quite yet.
 * Welcoming, helpful, patient, encouraging, friendly, polite - all these (and more, all complimentary!) are words I would use to describe Yunshui. I came across him when he responded to some of my mundane questions at the Teahouse and he has been a tremendous help. Wikipedia is huge and can be very daunting to those not familiar with its intricacies, so it's great to know there are approachable people like Yunshui.

 * Very calm, pleasant admin. Keep up the good work. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 01:58, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * One of the most level headed and 'professional' acting admins I've encountered. Yunshui is probably one of the few admins I would feel comfortable going to about anything I needed help with. Mkdw talk 10:55, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I really admire your judgment, temperament, composure and communication skills. Try for Crat or Arbcom next year. -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 08:23, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I noticed this because of . Please be aware that moves may be misleadingly presented as non-controversial though a db-g6. In this case, the page had been moved before (and had been requested by same user, even), so just looking at the logs should have indicated that this wasn't a simple move. Gimmetoo (talk) 02:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Normally I would not dare to criticize my teacher, but I would like to point out he has been unblocking a lot of users with the edit summary containing "per WP:ROPE" Yunshui, I hope I don't offend you, but as a community member I would kindly ask that you be more careful with unblocking as I have found multiple users who you have unblocked then proceeded to become heavy vandals again. Cheers, Kevin12xd (talk) (contribs) 01:33, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * That's what WP:ROPE is all about, let them prove they can't contribute constructively then block them indef (which is more like a defacto ban). Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:23, 23 January 2013 (UTC)


 * A good, welcoming and a humble editor. He's always welcoming to new users like me when I was starting to become active in this wiki. Also, he's tireless to fulfill WP's needs and he is a role model for users to be a good Wikipedian. Cheers Yunshui! :) Mediran  ( t  •  c ) 10:22, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi. I'm afraid I've not really come across your admin actions, so I'll just try to comment from the point of view of an editor who is unfamiliar with you and who is trying to understand who you are/what you are about. So, from that perspective, given your username, it would be useful IMO if your userpage contained – or, if it already does somewhere, then contained in a more prominent position – (a) a brief explanation of what your username means (and not just how it's spelt/pronounced), and (b) Babel boxes, including s, as appropriate.

 * Remove admin flag. This admin blocked me for the first time in six years of my useful work. Without any talks, without any warnings, without any analyze of the situation. For technically "3RR violation". But Reverting vandalism not counted as reverts for the purposes of 3RR. I was blocked for reverting of vandalism without blocking of real vandal. It was removal of two relevant templates without any real reasons:    Four vandal reverts, no? With two reverts using sockpuppetry ip with insults:   I just reverted that removals. But real vandal was not blocked, only my account. He renamed the aricles   without discussion by moving text! NickSt (talk) 15:22, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Excellent Admin and Mentor This guy is just a doll!  Absolutely pleasant 100% of the time, even when faced with anger.  Always willing to help even experienced editors.  I have known this person on Wiki for a year now and I am still just as impressed then as I am now with his abilities.  ♥ Solarra ♥  ♪ Talk ♪  ߷  ♀ Contribs ♀ 14:59, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
 * A very pleasant Admin: He is always calm, patient, and polite. Latin Wolf   (talk)  06:21, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Just nice. Had interaction with this admin once, when s(he) attempted to discuss my block with the blocking admin. Despite s(he) did not solve the issue, their comments were decent.--Jetstreamer Talk 12:10, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Nominated a good candidate in Mkdw for adminship.  Mini  apolis  02:32, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
 * He knows what I think, and why, because I've taken care to be explicit, rather than speak in terms of Wiki-cliches like "get a clue" and "don't be a dick" and "have some tea" and "quit digging a hole" and "death by Admin" and "BOOMERANG!" and all those brain-eating dumbed-down templated expessions that pass for real thougth/insight/understanding/comprehension. (If we continue to use those play-doh cliches, we will become robots with maybe 1,000 cliches in our memory banks, and we will only be able to speak and think in terms of them. They are not virtues, but the culture here treats them as though they are. 1984 anyone?) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 02:22, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
 * A knowledgeable and patient admin, Yunshui has been very helpful to me at the Teahouse a few times. Thanks for that!  Rob van  vee  17:09, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
