EVula

 * I have been an administrator on Wikipedia for more than two years. In that time, I've established an excellent track record of quickly and efficiently eliminating vandalism. I'd like to extend that to removing oversight-deserving edits. I'm familiar with the policies surrounding oversight, and have even made a few requests myself (which were always addressed quickly, but when dealing with personal editor information being exposed, faster is always better). I can easily be gotten hold of via email, IRC, or AIM, and my job keeps me tied to a computer (meaning that I'm able to jump on any requests regardless of what time it is, and I tend to work odd hours, depending on the project). I am over 18 and am already identified with the Foundation. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 07:14, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments and questions for EVula

 * I stated both on his stewardship candidacy page and on his talk page that I would support his stewartship election were I to have suffrage. I certainly feel EVula has demonstrated the judgment necessary to handle the oversight right with care.  Master&amp;  Expert ( Talk ) 02:04, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Question: How can you use oversight in mainspace, when you have little mainspace activity?  miranda   02:17, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Not the best way to make your point, when the answer is "Very easily". --Deskana (talk) 03:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I addressed the question to EVula, but thanks for your comments.  miranda   23:05, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * My current edit count via wannabe_kate is 28795. Of those edits, 8981 are in the main article space; roughly 31% of my edits are in the main article space. Personally, I think that's a fairly good average; probably not the highest on Wikipedia, but article editing isn't some sort of "game" I need to win. Regardless of where the bulk of my edits lie, I don't think it has much bearing on removing copyright infringement, libel, or personal information quickly and quietly. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 04:38, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I find that EVula has a long and varied history of all sorts of wiki-gnome work, both to articles and behind the scenes; rarely seeking drama or to draw attention to his contributions. Given that oversight is, pretty much by definition, a job that requires quiet discretion and generally receives little acknowledgement I think that his contribution pattern basically demonstrates exactly the attitude necessary... I can't personally see the relevance of large-scale mainspace contribution to the duties of an oversight. ~ mazca  t 18:06, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Too much hats already. Besides, doesn't he be nominated himself for the 2009 steward election?--Caspian blue 00:09, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Generic question: Under what circumstances, if any, would you oversight an edit at the request of the user who made the edit? — CharlotteWebb 15:55, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Pretty much only if it contained personally identifying information (since I'd be surprised if someone purposefully posted libel or a copyvio and then contacted me about it, though I'd obviously oversight those, too). If someone accidentally posted under an IP (and it was clearly tied back to them), or wanted to remove their real name from their userpage, I'd consider those to be valid examples.
