Idont havaname
final (58/3/0) ending 05:15 6 January 2006 (UTC)

– I would like to nominate Idont havaname for adminship. He has been here since November 2004 and has 4146 edits evenly across all namespaces. He normally participates in RFA's and AFD's and explains why he does that action. Idont havaname also does excellent work with baseball biography's. He is kind and civil and I think Idont havaname would make a good admin. Jaranda wat's sup 03:55, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

 * 36) Support: On deliberative matters, he or she (it could be a female name she doesn't have) has been considerate and careful, and on contentious issues she or he (or a male name) has been clever in seeking a new alternative.  I must say, however, that I'm willing to give the user a name.  Henceforth, I shall call him "Bob."  Geogre 12:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

 * 53) Support, there seems to be a general pointlessness to voting, as all we are doing is racking up the thankyous that Idon't havaname will have to do. It is totally acceptable to me if he does not issue out thank you's to users who voted for him. Croat Canuck 05:56, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) Strong Oppose per Alkivar. freestylefrappe 21:02, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * That is absolutely ridiculous, this person has a user name, it happens to be titled Idont havaname . ε  γκυκλοπ  αίδεια  *  23:03, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Methinks you missed the joke.  ALKIVAR &trade;Radioactivity symbol.png 06:57, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * No I didn't, I missed why you thought adding an oppose vote was necessary. These two votes should be considered void in my opinion, Alkivar, I know you mean no harm, but you are opposing for a very odd reason.  ε  γκυκλοπ  αίδεια  *  20:20, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * If you are joking, then don't actually cast a vote in opposition. That goes against the integrity of Wikipedia. Kingturtle 21:10, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you, the integrity of RfAs has been compromised long ago, I see only a popularity contest and a political game by some editors. I believe that the above two votes are a violation of WP:POINT.  One thing, which I will present at a Wikipedia conference that I will be attending on January 14, that I absolutely hate about Wikipedia Policy is that it applies to some and not all.  ε  γκυκλοπ  αίδεια  *  21:16, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose -- too many userboxes. --Pjacobi 16:02, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I have just removed most of them, though I really don't see why this should have any bearing on whether or not I would be good at doing admin tasks. --Idont Havaname 19:18, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I concur, the RfA process is very, very antiquated. This is just ridiculous to oppose someone because they have "too many userboxes."  If Pjacobi ever has an RfA I'll be sure to oppose him per this vote. I hope I am not getting you in trouble, I dont have a name, but I am saying things that need to be said.  If oppose votes are ridiculous, and they try to prevent an able user from being promoted, I find malice on their parts, and, therefore, to a degree, think that these three votes above should be anulled, while the proponents should be blocked for some hours as a penalty.  ε  γκυκλοπ  αίδεια  *  20:20, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * When this vote was cast, the nominee had fourteen userboxes on his user page. By this reasoning, all of these users are unfit for adminship. --TantalumT e lluride 20:15, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Totally agree. Thanks for the list. --Pjacobi 12:06, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * @Idont Havaname: Larger comment on your talk page. I'll withdraw my oppose if things get tight, which seems not be the case. --Pjacobi 12:06, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Strong Oppose. Demonstrates lack of knowledge about why Wikipedia actually exists. Carbonite | Talk 19:22, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * How does that diff demonstrate a lack of knowledge? --TantalumT e lluride 20:03, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia exists to create an encyclopedia. Everything else is a distant second (at best). In that comment Idonthaveaname places userboxes above the task of creating an encyclopedia. I also find calling the deletion of userboxes "censorship" to be quite unhelpful to the discussion. Carbonite | Talk 20:13, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply, but I still disagree. His vote is very much in line with the overwhelming concensus of the discussion, and it seems like a very reasonable argument to me. --TantalumT e lluride 22:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Neutral

Comments


 * Edit summary usage: 100% for major edits and 100% for minor edits. Based on the last 100 major and and 100 minor edits outside the Wikipedia, User, Image, and Talk namespaces.


 * A perfect score! Do you want to keep your prize, or risk it all in the bonus round? &mdash;Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:32, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It's funny that you mention that; I was wondering if anyone would catch that (but I wasn't going to say anything :-) ). I checked my edit count using Interiot's tool when it was up, and I saw that I haven't missed an edit summary since June 2005.  I have a habit of always using specific edit summaries, and I try to make them descriptive enough that RC/watchlist patrollers don't have to know (or look at) the edit summary legend to figure them out.  I've looked over large RC, watchlist, and revision history pages, and I find it a relief when editors use summaries. --Idont Havaname 04:49, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm a "he", by the way. :-D --Idont Havaname 16:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * So "Bob" should be fine. &mdash;Bunchofgrapes (talk) 18:44, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * much too confusing. Well have to call you Bruce. Grutness...wha?  00:26, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

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.
 * There are many areas where I would like to help out, but most realistically, I see myself clearing out speedy deletions (making sure they are justified per WP:CSD) and * fD backlogs. I've been participating in AfD since my first edit and have therefore become familiar with much of the deletion process.  As needs (and my spare time) arise, I'd also like to continue helping out in mediating content/NPOV disputes, working on speedy category renaming and requested moves, and doing more RC patrol. (Most of my edits are made from a dialup connection, so often, other editors revert vandalism before I can get to it.  Rollback would thus allow me to do RC patrol more efficiently.)  Also, I would like to help out in dealing with controversial blocks.  A new user who had been indefinitely blocked recently without warning emailed me thinking that I was an admin (I've since posted a note on my user page explaining that I'm not) asked me over email to unblock him, and I would have liked to have unblocked him myself rather than waiting for someone else to do it.


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A.
 * I'm still pleased about one of my earliest stub expansions, Inaccessible Island, which was initially a one-sentence substub. That expansion required a fair amount of research on a topic that I didn't know existed until I read about it here.  More recently, I wrote most of the article on Alexander Semin by myself, taking care to draw upon a wide variety of citations, particularly when discussing the recent controversy over his military duty.  Also, I contributed most of what is currently in Florida Marlins and Florida Marlins.  As far as contributions about Wikipedia, I'm pleased about having a written Wiki philosophies subpage to my user page; I still update it, although somewhat irregularly.  I've noticed Wikiphilosophies subpages popping up on several other editors' user pages as well.


 * 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've had two somewhat significant conflicts lately. First, I brought up concerns about POV in this version of Asian fetish.  To deal with that, I emphasized the need to cite sources from all major viewpoints, and to not make personal attacks against other people editing the page.  I also listed the article at WP:3O in the earlier stages of the conflict, and after another user nominated the article for the Article Improvement Drive, many more editors knew about the page, and my role evolved more toward that of a mediator, reminding newer users of policies relevant both to writing the article and to user conduct.  Second, I have been serving as a mediator in a content dispute at Gothic metal, where again I have emphasized following policies established by the Wikipedia community.  I noticed a revert war going on at that page, and took steps to ensure that an administrator protected the page.  While the page was protected, discussion became much more productive, and I had the users involved work on a rewrite on a subpage.  The rewrite has since been completed and moved to the main article.  Keeping a somewhat large watchlist (with well over 800 pages at present), I do occasionally find problems with articles, but I try to help resolve any disputes on talk pages, avoiding RfC and RfAr where possible.
