Bookofjude
Final (141/1/0) ended 00:06, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

– It is my honour to nominate Jude. Although he registered an account in 2004, he became active early this year. However, despite his relatively short time at Wikipedia, Jude has demonstrated that he has the willingness, knowledge, and temperament to be an administrator. He has over 4886 well-distributed edits, with over 2171 in mainspace. He reverts vandalism, creates, cleans up, expands, and adds references to articles, uploads pictures, and transwikis. He is also knowledgeable technically, having created cite paper and depreciated and migrated citepaper, citepaper publisher, citepaper version, and citepaper publisher version. Project-wise, Jude can be found on AfD, TfD, Category:Wikipedia references cleanup, and has recently begun assisting with the massive backlog of possible copyright violations. In my experience, Jude deals well with conflicts and stressful situations (he successfully mediated a dispute pertaining to Angelology and Zoroastrianism), and is always willing to help, both on IRC and on Wikipedia. Given the admin tools, Jude would, in my opinion, become an even greater asset to the community. Shanel § 00:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Huh? I appreciate this individual's right to vote, but I don't see where it says that RfAs cannot be unanimous... also, this is very troll-like behaviour, as all you're doing is disrupting Wikipedia to prove a point (I know, WP:POINT). Master of Puppets That's hot. 00:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Awww please? It'd be fun to have it unanimous! Kim Bruning 00:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Trolling vote removed by Tawker. Master of Puppets That's hot. 01:12, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * There CAN be a unanimous RfA, if everyone voting supports the candidate and no-one decides to make a useless WP:POINT by voting against. However, I don't think the vote should be struck. You would hope this kind of vote wouldn't be considered by the closing 'crat, and therefore striking it purely has a cosmetic effect on the scoreboard. <FONT STYLE="verdana" COLOR="#000000">Dei</FONT><FONT COLOR="#FF3300">zio</FONT> talk 01:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Perhaps he feels that the candidate needs to take a sad song and made it better. --W.marsh 16:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Remark: This user has less than 250 edits on this wiki. Claims to be an admin on the French wikipedia on his user page. I propose to ignore this user. --Ligulem 16:23, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * User by that username is a sysop on fr.wiki although this vote makes no sense whatsoever, there has been pratically nil activity from this user in days, this RfA oppose just came out of the blue -- Tawker 17:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Uh I thought the vote was obviously a joke... --W.marsh 17:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Duh, of couse it is a joke cf. Jude the Obscure--Doc ask?  20:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. User does not have experience in handling disputes and is making an effort in avoiding them (per his words). I believe any admin should be willing in dealing with disputes. Admin privilages exist in dealing with disputes and disruptions assuming diplomacy (mediation etc) fails. -- Cat out 19:15, 23 May 2006 (UTC) -- Cat out 06:07, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment:You don't need to be an admin to deal with disputes. Certainly there are people who use admin privileges in this capacity, but others may see it as a technical position, which, I think, is Jude does. I prefer not to get involved in disputes because I usually am not knowledgeable about the topic or backgound of the dispute, but I don't think it makes me a bad admin. I had never had any dispute experience prior to my 2nd RfA either, and I certainly tried to avoid them (I still do).--<font color="#CD2626">Shanel <font color="#EE2C2C">§ 20:07, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm... I didnt look at it that way... I still feel more admins should be looking into disputes (in light of wikipedia policies of course). -- Cat out 06:07, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: The beauty of this candidate isn't the fact that Jude hasn't had conflicts, it's the manner in which he's dealt with the conflicts to defuse them before they've become arguments and otherwise have had to be dealt with. Check above where this Talk:Angel occurs. I doubt I could've handled the situation with as much grace, though I'd like to be able to. It seems silly to me to oppose a candidate on the grounds that he's had the ability to avoid confrontations instead of letting them ferment into negativity. Diplomacy only fails when you stop trying. <i style="color:#FF00FF;">~Kylu ( u | t ) </i> 02:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

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 voters:
 * 1.What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
 * A: I like to involve myself in a little bit of everything. I try to patrol recent changes on at least a regular basis, and I flick through my watchlist looking for possible vandalism every time I click on it. I've recently been helping User:Lightdarkness with the copyright violation backlog, which is, thankfully, slowly starting to shrink back down into something that's manageable. I also try to regularly participate in Articles for deletion, and, although not as regularly, its various incarnations (Templates for deletion, etc), and also transwiki'ing to Wikisource articles that fit Wikisource's inclusion criteria.


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A: I am, for the most part, pleased with all of my contributions, though I tend towards more minor edits than major, sweeping changes. User:Seqsea and I have been trying to keep Category:Wikipedia references cleanup to a managable level, and it is currently at sixteen articles, as compared to the sixty or so articles when we started. I'm also proud of my work to the Angelology section of Angel, relating to a dispute about whether or not information in it should be included in the lead paragraph. I also do a bit of work with templates, and I was quite proud of cite paper, which Shanel already mentioned. More recently I created an article for Michael Moorcock's book, The City in the Autumn Stars, which I'm quite pleased with.


 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A: I try to avoid all types of conflict, as I find that it detracts from the object of writing an encyclopedia, so, to that extent, the only conflicts or disputes that I've become involved in have been relatively minor. As I mentioned in the previous question, I was involved as a third party in a dispute on Angel, regarding whether or not a few sentences about Zoroastrianism's influence on Angelology should be included in the lead paragraph. I suggested on the talk page that a section be created in the article where the topic could be treated neutrally, and had a hand in the development of that section. Asides from that, I think the majority of misunderstandings I was involved in were resolved quickly and left everybody happy.
