FisherQueen
Closed as successful by Cecropia 17:14, 2 July 2007 (UTC) at (86/2/0); Scheduled end time 15:46, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

- Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you FisherQueen. To get the dry stuff out of the way first, FisherQueen has with us since September 2006 and has made just under 12,000 edits to the project (about half of those to the mainspace). This is her second request for adminship, the first one (which can be found here) was in January - she was nominated by Majorly but was unsuccessful due to lack of experience.

I believe that FisherQueen now has more than enough experience to show that she would make a fantastic admin. She is an active member of WikiProject LGBT studies and a competent editor of encyclopedia content - for example largely writing our article on Billy Tipton. FisherQueen is a strong vandalfighter and has made 121 vandal reports to WP:AIV - those that I have reviewed have been spot on. She also makes helpful contributions to discussions at WP:ANI. Those XfD contributions which I have looked over appear thoughtful, going beyond mere votes and she continues to follow the discussion after expressing an opinion so as to address subsequent points.

In short, FisherQueen has all the skills and experience to make her a valuable addition to our list of administrators. WjBscribe 15:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

I humbly accept the nomination. -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:38, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
 * 1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
 * A: My work on Wikipedia has been most strongly focused in clearing Wikipedia of vandalism and self-promotion, so my first work as an administrator would be in the same areas, reviewing articles tagged for speedy deletion and requests for the blocking of vandals. As I gain wisdom and experience as an administrator, I'll do my best to help with the more complex problems listed at AN/I, and work on closing AfDs.  I suspect that there are areas where I could be helpful that I have barely begun to work in, and I'm open to learning new stuff. I think I've shown that I can both learn new skills and correct my inevitable errors with reasonable grace.


 * 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
 * A: Since my first RfA, I've gotten involved at WikiProject LGBT studies, where I've enjoyed making a number of articles just a little bit better. The piece of writing that I'm most proud of is Billy Tipton.  Tipton is a fascinating person, and I was really proud of the way I brought the article about him from a mediocre stub to a pretty well developed piece of writing.  And while it isn't an FA-quality article, I felt that my experience collaborating with a physicist on the other side of the world on Friedel Sellschop was a wonderful example of what makes Wikipedia so great- we'll never meet, but I was able to use my knowledge of Wikipedia to help him create an article about an important if minor scientist who wasn't here before.  I even learned a little bit about diamonds in the process.  And I think I've made myself pretty useful as a recent changes patroller, fighting the endless tide of advertisers, vandals, and bored teenagers.


 * 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: Sure, I've been involved in conflicts- I can't imagine how a Wikipedia editor could avoid them. The vast majority are the childish anger of vandals and vanity-pagers, which hardly rise to the level of conflict that would make a useful answer to the question.  I had my very own WikiStalker in JFBurton, which was a bit more stressful; in fact, there were one or two times when I got so angry at him that I had to turn the computer off and walk away for a little while, to avoid posting something I would regret later.  The most frustrating conflict I've had recently was at Evan Dobelle, where the subject's edit-warring supporter simply refused to discuss anything on talk pages at all, but just left long, vaguely hostile edit summaries.  Still, I think we've finally arrived at a version of the article that will satisfy even that editor.  My strategies for dealing with conflict are to stay calm, stay polite, assume good faith, and to allow time to cool down rather than engaging in edit wars.

Optional question from Zeibura
 * 4. When dealing with dubious notability cases, what is the distinction you would make between articles deletable under CSD A7 and proddable articles?
 * CSD A7 is for articles that don't include any assertion of notability. If the article has a plausible assertion of notability, I'll prod it with a note on the creator's talk page, to give the creator a chance to add the needed material.  I do tend to err on the side of caution, prodding articles that I'll later notice have been speedied by someone else, but there's no harm done in giving the creator a chance to understand the guidelines and respond appropriately, even if it does mean that the article is deleted in a few days instead of right now.  -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Optional question from DGG'''
 * 5. You find by accident that an admin has just deleted a motion picture as A7. The notability of the picture is dubious. What do you do--not just the initial step--all the steps that might be necessary. DGG 02:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * If I were an admin, and I noticed that another admin deleted an article as A7 which had an plausible assertion of notability, I would do some research into the subject, and see if I could find evidence that it met the notability criteria. If I found evidence that the subject was notable, I'd bring the evidence to the attention of the deleting admin, but I certainly wouldn't just undelete it.  Wheel-warring is a very bad thing.  If the deleting admin didn't agree with my evidence, I'd bring it to deletion review and look for consensus from the community.  There's nothing there I need admin powers to do, but just because I have the tools, doesn't mean I always have to use them.  I hope I've interpreted the question in the way you intended; if not, please feel free to clarify it.-FisherQueen (Talk) 03:17, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Please check on what types of material can be deleted under A7 notability. DGG 02:13, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Did you want a response to this? Sure, motion pictures aren't on the list of A7 materials, but I didn't delete this hypothetical article, another admin did, and I'm not going to simply undo her actions unilaterally.  Nor do I think it's particularly useful to have it undeleted on a technicality, send it through AfD, and delete it again.  If I can't find any evidence that the article should exist on Wikipedia, I'm going to let it go, unless I notice that the other hypothetical admin has a pattern of deletion errors, in which case a polite note would be in order. -FisherQueen (Talk) 19:44, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

'''Optional questions from &#8212;M (talk • contribs) 19:33, 26 June 2007 (UTC)


 * 6. Do you believe the Wikipedia community has a set of shared ethical values?
 * A: Absolutely. We share a commitment to the importance of knowledge, and to the free dissemination of knowledge as far as it will go.  We also share faith in the ability of reasonable people to do good through the process of consensus.  And we share our belief in the value of neutral, bias-free content, unsullied by political, religious, or other points of view, even as we experience the extreme difficulty of crafting such content.  The Five Pillars are a reasonable statement of the Wikipedia ethic.


 * 7. Do you believe that ethical values should be taken into consideration when crafting policy?
 * A: Certainly, I think that the ethics that we share should be the basis for our policies. With all our differences, what else would we use when deciding on our policies but the common ground we have agreed upon through years of discussion and consensus?


 * 8. Do you believe it is appropriate for an administrator to impose their own ethical values when making administrative actions (e.g. deletion, blocking, page protection, etc.)?
 * A: Not their personal ethical values, no- the values we all use when making decisions, as editors and administrators, should be the shared values expressed in the Five Pillars, and when we stray from those to try to insert the values of our own culture or perspective, then we are more likely to find ourselves in conflict, and less likely to build the best encyclopedia we can. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Optional questions from WooyiTalk to me?


 * 9. In what circumstances will you use WP:IAR to delete pages (in whatever namespace) that do not belong to, or in the gray area of, criteria of speedy deletion? WooyiTalk to me? 17:00, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * A. I think it's very much within the spirit on Ignore all rules to use CSD on articles which fall within the spirit if not the letter of the criteria. For example, I've tagged for speedy deletion a description of a non-notable person's favorite pizza order, which isn't technically a person, group, company, or web content, but is still never going to pass an AfD and lacks an assertion of notability.  I'll also tag articles which technically contain an assertion of notability, but whose assertion of notability is patently ludicrous: "Jim-Bob's penis is larger than the state of New York" is an assertion of notability, certainly, and so is "Jamila is the first 13-year-old to win the Nobel Prize for cuteness," but they obviously have no chance of remaining on Wikipedia, and so should be speedied.  I think that CSD functions in many ways as an extension of the snowball clause.  As an admin, I'll cheerfully delete such articles without a second thought.  In the grayer areas, as an editor, I've tended to use prod or AfD, since the article is eventually deleted anyway and the creator gets the chance to defend the article if it's defensible... as an admin, to be honest, I'd probably be asking a few more experienced admins for advice when I come upon grey-space articles which are tagged for speedy deletion, and listen to their advice until I feel more confident of where the lines are.  I don't know everything about adminship yet, and will have plenty to learn, so will be looking to my elders for advice pretty regularly, I'm sure.  But if the article clearly doesn't fall within the criteria, well, then I won't delete it, but will remove the tag, and leave a note on the taggers talk page politely explaining why I didn't delete it and suggesting it be taken to AfD.  I might even AfD-tag it myself, if I think it should be deleted. -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:22, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you. However, my question was asked in response of recent deletion spree of userboxes and categories. Will you, if an admin, speedily delete userboxes you find objectionable and in the borderline of divisiveness without consultation of other admins? WooyiTalk to me? 02:13, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that the recent spree you refer to somehow escaped my notice, so I can't talk directly about whether it was correct or not. I was out of town for a few weeks recently; maybe I missed this.  In more general terms, however, speedy deletion is for things that are very, very clearly in direct violation of basic Wikipedia policy, which is clearly defined at WP:CSD; things about which there is room for reasonable people to disagree belong at XfD.  I've been a pretty conservative tagger as an editor, prodding or AfDing where others speedy, so I think that, as an admin, I'll be more likely than many to send something to XfD or discuss it with other admins if I think there's room for doubt about the necessity of deletion.  If they are things that 'I find objectionable and in the borderline of divisiveness,' as you describe it, that definitely isn't, on its own, speedy-deletion territory. -FisherQueen (Talk) 02:35, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Optional questions from OhanaUnited


 * 10. In your opinion, what (as in practice or policy) should Wikipedia change to provide a better editing environment? (Since this question is quite broad, you don't have to give a detailed answer. Point form is absolutely fine with me.) OhanaUnited  Talk page  12:18, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

 * 19) Support This user appears to be a good administrator in the making. Captain panda  21:24, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 20) Support - Her first RfA was unsuccessful, in part because of her 4785 total edits she only had 98 Wikipedia and 83 mainspace talk edits which in part evidence a lack of experience in some areas of Wikipedia. She had her own RfA#1 closed, promising in January 2007, "I'll work on the areas mentioned, and see you again in three or four months." She now has 11,911 total edits with 806 Wikipedia and 341 mainspace talk edits and she now has garnered the experience that she lacked during her first RfA. More important than keeping her RfA#1 promise was her willingness to accept the criticism of others and work to improve herself.

 * Oppose


 * 1) Strongly Oppose. As a relative newbie to wikipedia, I found FQ agessive, bullying and unwelcoming. I understand she has done good work with vandals, however she agressivly assumes all 'non expert' posts are created by vandals, which is clearly not the case. Further more, she highly offended me when she wrote 'dogfucking' on my own talk page (which to be fair, the first time she wrote it may have had some context), HOWEVER when I deleted, and requested her not to repost as I find such language highly offensive, and has no place on a family site, she then reposted this language.  This is not admin material, until she can be more removed/controlled in conflicts.Icerinkprincess 08:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. This editor's only contribution (apart from edits to her own talk page) was an article that was tagged for speedy deletion by FisherQueen. It probably was unnecessary to use the word 'dogfucking' on Icerinkprincess's own talk page, just as it is unnecessary to use it in this RfA when a diff would have done the job. <font face="century gothic" color="#339922">Kim Dent-Brown  <font face="century gothic" size="1" color="#339922">(Talk to me)  09:13, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The context of the word used was that FisherQueen was discussing the speedy tag with Icerinkprincess, and Icerinkprincess saw another user complaining on FisherQueen's talk page and requested said user's thoughts on dealing with their combined displeasure of FisherQueen. What Icerinkprincess didn't check for was that the user she asked for help was a vandal who had used the offending word in an act of vandalism. FisherQueen pointed this out, as probably the wrong type of user to associate with. Also, though it's not critical here, Icerinkprincess's description of "a family website" with no use for "highly offensive language" displays a slight misunderstanding of Wikipedia. <font color="#3D59AB">Leebo  <font color="#2A8E82">T /<font color="#2A8E82"> C 11:44, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello Icerinkprincess. I think your characterisation of FisherQueen as bullying and aggressive is unfair and unsubstantiated. She tagged an article you had created (actually recreated after it had already been deleted by an administrator - Ben Hilton) for deletion and an administrator confirmed it did not meet our inclusion criteria and deleted it - the message left on your talkpage is a standard form message we encourage people to use. When you asked her about it she responded with this comment - which is one of the most civil and helpful reponses I have seen to such questions. The problem was that instead of accepting this message, you solicited assistance from a blatant vandal, which was unacceptable - the word you find objectionable was intended to highlight what sort of a user you were seeking assistance from. I find nothing reprehensible in FisherQueen's conduct - I wish I could the say the same for your behaviour. WjBscribe 14:05, 27 June 2007 (UTC) Slade (TheJoker) 23:15, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Question May I request a reason?  I'm always interested in learning from my mistakes and becoming a better editor; I'd love to know in what areas you think I still need to learn. -FisherQueen (Talk) 02:39, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I must second FisherQueen's comments. There is no blatantly-apparent reason to oppose without justification, so it'd be great if you could give your justification.  Daniel  02:44, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The Joker seems to be a sparse editor here; you'll probably be better off getting a response if you email xem.  Majorly  (talk) 03:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
