Arjun01
Final (111/1/2); Ended 11:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

- I am pleased to nominate Arjun (previously known as Seadog.M.S) for adminship. He's been editing Wikipedia for almost five months now, and his +9000 edits proved an extremely valued and versatile user: +3000 edits on the mainspace due to a superbly efficient vandalfight and article building (particularly Hinduism); excellent work on Portal:Hinduism, currently a featured portal candidate; +1000 edits on the Wikipedia space, consisting in large participation on the WP:HD, vandal reports to WP:AIV, featured content candidates, WP:RFA, WP:XFD, etc... Apart from all this, Arjun also happens to be an extremely friendly and civil user, never afraid to ask for advice or a second opinion when in doubt, which reveals his permanent willingness to learn and improve (3 editor reviews!   ). Arjun would make great use of the admin tools, and I give him my unconditional support. Hús ö  nd  03:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Co-nomination Since I have been on Wikipedia, I have very regularly run into Arjun01. Whether reporting vandals at WP:AIV while on recent changes patrol or his excellent work at the Help desk. His many contributions to other areas of the wiki namespace coupled with his many mainspace edits show that he is a well rounded editor who understands Wikipedia and its policies well. I feel that Arjun has always handled situations in a manner which I have much faith in, and personally feel that he exemplifies the spirit of Wikipedia. It is for all of these reasons and more that I proudly offer this co-nomination. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 03:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Co-nomination Aww...I went to sleep and you guys didn't wait for my co-nom? Anyway, I have told Arjun that I would nominate him for adminship, nearly three months ago. Arjun is one of the most level-headed and productive editors with the project, and I feel he has the excellent qualities needed for an admin. He's involved himself in WP:AIV, WP:HD, WP:AFD, and much more. He has worked hard on bringing Hinduism to featured status, and he recently has been working on bringing Portal:Hinduism to FP status. A very diligent and dedicated editor, I express my enthusiasm for this editor in his RfA.  Nish kid 64  15:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept, thank you. ~ Arjun 03:10, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for participants:
 * Questions for the candidate
 * 1. What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog and Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
 * A: As a vandal-fighter there are many areas of wikipedia that I could assist with. Most notably the AIV, the list always appears to be backlogged, and there can never be too many admins helping out in that area...I even have it bookmarked and it is also on my watchlist. I would of course before blocking make sure that the Vandal has received proper warnings, and the rest will be done by HBC AIV Helperbot :). Also I strongly anticipate to help clear out the CSD backlogs, which always seems "very high", and there can never be to much help there either. Another area of interest to me is the  Requests for unblock. Also worth noting, I would love to help out with Requests for page protection, as there seem to be only a few admins who consistantly monitor this page.  Also, I would anticipate the closing of AFD's. And to top all that off I would keep my eye on the Admins notice board.


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A: I do in fact enjoy article building, however I have no Featured articles under my belt, but I would have to say the work I am most proud of is List of Stratocaster players, of which my first edit was this, I honestly think that it can become a Featured list, but still needs work throughout. Another list I have recently worked on is List of Hindu festivals, of which my first edit was this. Another area that I worked a while back was the Hinduism article, of which I added a section, and helped reduce the size. Yet another area I am proud of is Portal:Hinduism [[Image:Cscr-featured.svg|15px]], which I helped earn it Featured Portal Status.


 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A: In short, I can't honestly say that I have been in any major scuffles, there may have been times in the past where I have lost cool to a vandal, but as of recent I cannot remember losing my cool. I am laid back on Wikipedia, and I will not get upset easily. While there were times where I was involved in situations that might cause stress...it didn't affect me. For example most recently the discussion on the Wikiproject Hinduism talk page regarding the use of the Swastika in the welcoming templates. I believe that I held my cool and gave my honest opinions, other than that I can't recall any situations that would cause stress.


 * 4. Can you please explain your stance here – Articles for deletion/Heritage Guitars. Esp. your comment This is a very notable company and which notability guideline (and the specific criterion) User:Anger22 implied? Thanks. &mdash; Nearly Headless Nick  12:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * A: Well I still stand by my decision, however I think it was a little over the top to go Strong Support, basically at the time I concluded that it met WP:CORP and WP:NOTE. And when I stated per "Anger22" I was implying about the notability of the company and its players. I however probably did not need to state that, I hope this answers your question.

'''Optional questions from &mdash;Malber (talk • contribs) 16:47, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 5. If you encountered an editor who was also the subject of a biographical article editing their own article, how would you handle this situation as an administrator?
 * A: Well to be honest...I wouldn't do really anything. Unless of course the editor was breaking the policies. If they were breaching the NPOV policy I would kindly leave a note on their talk page, and hopefully that would be adequate. Now if he/she were Edit Warring and 3rring I would once again leave he/her a warning on the users talk page, and if these actions continued after adequate warnings, I would have to take proper action and treat the user just like everyone else.


 * 6. Can you name at least one circumstance where it would be inappropriate to semi-protect an article?
 * A: I wouldn't semi-protect an article if there's not enough activity to justify protection, nor would I do so to gain advantage in a dispute in which I am involved. Semi protection would only be used when "mulitiple" IP's are vandalizing the article. Just one IP does not alone qualify for the semi-protection. Now also worth noting the policy page I would obviously not s-protect it for these reasons.


 * 7. What would your thought process be to determine that a business article should be deleted using CSD:G11?
 * A: Well I think this process obviously requires a good look at before any actions are taken (unless extremely obvious), I would have to start thinking about does it just look like something taken off of a website, obviously you can tell this when there is "no" wikification and it is obvious when you see "©" on the page ;). Generally I have to look also what links to the article, and does the article repeatedly link to its website promoting material. Only when I go through this process I would take the right action.

Optional question (or questions) from —— Eagle 101 (Need help?)
 * 8. Spam has almost doubled in little over 2 months. This information was derived from watching Linkwatcher's (IRC bot, created by me) output as it sits in #wikipedia-spam, a channel on the freenode IRC network. The core policies and guidelines dealing with spam are WP:SPAM, WP:EL, and WP:RS. An open ended question, what is your view on how severe spam is, and why? What is the purpose of External Links? Should we be allowing every myspace, youtube, blogspot, ect links into Wikipedia, Or should our standards be a bit higher then that? Some useful stats that have been collected recently are Veinor's stats on which domains are being added daily, and Heligoland's stats on frequency of link insertion. All  stats are derived from LinkWatcher (IRC bot) logs.
 * A Well spam is becoming a larger problem by the week, as Wikipedia is growing larger. And now we have countless "one purpose" accounts that add spam to promote their product/business. Spam is also obviously increasing the CSD:G11 articles. Now I am in the mid/high tolerance range when it comes to spam, that is just my personal feelings. But spam must be dealt with properly and the users/IP's who cause the spam must be warned adequately and once the warnings fall into place (usually a "spam one" warning will deal with the spammer and they generally stop) the appropriate action must be taken. Now on to the links "no" not every myspace, youtube  links should be included in the article, in fact most of them removed. Except in cases of bands, that would be the only real exception for myspace links. And for youtube something like lonelygirl15. But other than that they should generally be removed. In a nutshell, external links should be used to help the reader learn further on the given subject.

'''Optional question (or questions) from —— Real96
 * 9. If you encountered an abusive user and his or her sockpuppets who makes personal threats, what would you do?
 * A Well first off if I noticed an editor who was using "obvious" sockpuppets I would first off warn the sockpuppeter, and let him/her know that these types of "alternate accounts" are not acceptable. I would provide links for the user to read up on. If this type of behavior continues after several warnings then the proper admin action would have to be taken. However I would discuss with other admins if the situation was more complex then normal.
 * 10. If an experienced Wikipedian put a wrong user level warning on a potential vandal's page, what type of attitude would you use in order to warn both the user and the vandal?
 * A Well lets say that a vandal fighter was out RCPing and he throws a T4 on a users talk page...but all that the user did was insert "hi is this where I edit". Well to the "potential vandal", I would welcome the user with the standard and give him a little note about the edit. On to the user who did the reversion, I would first off simply let him/her know that it is standard to start with T1 and then work their way to T4. I would be very kind and easygoing about it since this is a mistake many very new vandalism patrolers do (I did it too when I was a newcomer). And hopefully that will clarify some things out.

 * 50) Support I refrain generally from pile-ons at RfA, but I must&mdash;tardily&mdash;support here; it is eminently clear that the net effect on the project of Arjun's becoming an admin should be positive, and it is on the disposition of the latter question, IMHO, as against, e.g., that of 1FA, that an RfA !vote ought to rest.

Oppose
 * 1) Oppose. Fails Diablo test sans exceptions. Anwar 12:41, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Roughly 7k of objections to this single "oppose" (which didn't change Anwar's mind, anyway) have been moved to the talk page. Proto ::  ►  14:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) I met Arjun as Seadog.M.S. when he just came to WP - we share some interests (hi!). With 4.5 months of experience at Wikipedia (under this account), this nomination just strikes me as premature. This is at least the third account held by Arjun:  was mentioned;  was not. Arjun, your desire to learn is clear, but I would like to a few more months of settling in. Also important to me is evidence that you have handled an active conflict, of the type that may arise as an admin. I understand that you don't create conflicts, of course, but as an admin, how will you manage those created by others? I'm sorry if the answers are presented here: I don't see them (the Swastika debate is too diffuse to glean anything from). Congratulations, though; you've done good work on Wikipedia, and your RfA looks like a success!  –<font color="#112299">Outriggr  § 06:06, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Outriggr! Yes you were the one who welcomed me to wikipedia! The thing is is that Seadog.M.S...I am still Seadog.M.S however I simply had a username change so all my contribs from Seadog are still counted for Arjun. Now as for the Littlewing thing, I really didn't build anything up in that account (contribs wise), and if you can imagine I didn't like the name. And that was before the time I understood the whole changing username thing. Cheers my friend! ~ <font color="#7b68ee">Arjun 13:43, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Neutral - I agree that this seems a tad premature.  Although a great candidate and contributor to wikipedia, I would tend to advocate a 6 month floor for admins . . . - Dmz5  *Edits**Talk* 19:48, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
