Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Aranel

Aranel
(35/0/3) ending 15:10, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC)

She has made over 4300 edits in the three months she's been with us. She's become a leader in editing Tolkien articles, and taken the initiative to create a template to welcome new Tolkien editors. She's also contributed in many other areas, and become active in the community as well, particularly on VfD. I find her highly deserving of adminship.

 * I accept, with thanks for the nomination! I would very much like to be able to do more housekeeping work (especially with categorization&mdash;CFD needs some help at the moment) and would be unlikely to use administrator powers in non-housekeeping tasks except in rare special cases.

 * 5) I get concerned when the summary trumpets VfD as something good without going into detail.  However I see that Aranel is a balanced user in VfD, and has made many good contributions :o). ShaunMacPherson 15:59, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Oppose

Neutral
 * 1) She appears to have a responsible view of policy, and has her mind in the right place. The thing that worries me is that most of her edits (overwhelming majority) appear to be category edits. I would prefer to see some more article content contribution first (I don't care about percentage, just about raw bulk). If she'll come back in a few months with that under her hat, I'll vote yea. --Improv 17:13, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * 2) I have an extremely favorable impression of Aranel. She has been reasonable, level-headed, and balanced.  She has sought merges of isolated (and, in my opinion therefore lost) material, shown a good understanding of the issues of granularity, and been temperate.  My neutrality is simply a matter of time on project.  I don't measure contributions much, but I do think folks need time to run across the vicious, vitiating and vitalizing alike so that we have a sense of what the person does when the stresses mount.  I will absolutely support her upon next nomination, barring something unforseen, but cannot vote for her at only the 3 month interval. Geogre 19:19, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * 3) After having gone through the request for adminship process (only about 3 days before I withdrew), I began to think of what I would want from an admin. Prior to that time, I had contributed little to community pages and had little interaction with other users. Now, it is a whole new world and is definitely more difficult. I have to agree with Geogre on this one. Since I would otherwise support the user, I will not oppose on these simple grounds, but I must abstain and be neutral. Skyler1534 22:50, Nov 1, 2004 (UTC)

Comments
 * I took an indepth look at her contributions and talk page. I was initially shocked by this but it turns out the guy is just a spammer, and since Aranel has acted appropriately in this matter, it makes her even more of an ideal candidate.  Other than this I can find no bad conduct, instances of conflict, etc.  Good work all around, I'd say.  CryptoDerk 15:56, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm not spammer :) Vitaly 17:20, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
