Interiot
Final (110/0/0) ended 22:03, January 21, 2006 (UTC)

– Interiot has been an invaluable member of Wikipedia ever since he joined in October of 2004. Although he didn't start regularly editing until July of last year, his contributions have been excellent, with over 3400 edits, including over half of those being to articles. In addition, he has also shown his dedication to the project by working on some technical tools to enhance Wikipedia and the processes behind it (such as RfA); his tools created include an enhanced edit counter, contributions tree, and an ArbCom elections tracker that tabulates the vote and percentages and flags invalid votes. He is an invaluable editor and Wikipedian; it's time for him to be granted the mop. Flcelloguy (A note? ) 22:39, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

 * 50) Strong support! I use his edit counter frequently (much more than Kate's, though since it was down for a while I haven't linked to it on my user page in a while), and my interactions with him, although limited, have been positive.  I agree with the others in saying that adminship is long overdue for Interiot; his tools are great, and he seems like he can be trusted with admin tasks. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 20:19, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Oppose
 * This user is vandalizing during his RFA! Jake345 23:02, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I concur, a disturbing example of his continued warpath on Wikipedia. Carpenterman 23:04, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The said vandal would be an impersonator, Interiot`. æle ✆ 23:05, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Note the above two users User:Carpenterman and User:Jake345 both at present have two edits, one to create a small userpage, one to vote oppose here. --pgk( talk ) 23:08, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Might I also add that "Interiot'" was created/contributed at 22:43 UTC on January 14, "Jake345" was created and voted oppose less than 20 minutes later, @ 23:01 UTC , and "Carpenterman" was created 1 minute later, @ 23:03 UTC and also votes oppose. Also strange that additional contributions are not made, and just a little too funny that a "new" user would quickly find their way to an RfA vote, 2 times, within minutes. I think we have a sockpuppet on our hands. --Jay (Reply) 23:30, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I also reverted some comments by, who claimed to be Cherokye (see below). Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note? ) 23:32, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Impostor's sockpuppets blocked. &mdash; <font color="#444444">0918<font color="#222222">BRIAN &bull; 2006-01-14 23:53

Comments


 * Edit summary usage: 100% for major edits and 100% for minor edits. Based on the last 150 major and and 150 minor edits outside the Wikipedia, User, Image, and all Talk namespaces. Mathbot 22:00, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * See information about Interiot's edits with Interiot's edit count tool or Interiot's edit history tool.


 * I have reverted and blocked whose only contributions were to vandalize this RFA and change the votes of others.  Dragons flight 23:17, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I've also taken the liberty to remove the contents of his user page, which were copied wholesale from SimonP's in order to disguise himself as a "respectable" user regarding this RfA. <font style="color:green;">Phædriel  <font style="color:navy;">&hearts; <font style="color:green;">tell me 23:41, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I fail to see how the user requires admin tools. I do not believe administratorship is a "reward" for good conduct. Avriette 20:18, 19 January 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 would continue reverting vandalism found in my 900+ page watchlist, and doing image RC patrol. I've helped with new-page patrol and AfD, and will continue that as well.  I generally help out with backlogs that are interesting or are very helpful to Wikipedia.


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I'm most proud of my contributions to level design and Mississippi River Delta, though I've significantly contributed to a number of articles and have contributed a number of original images 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 usually work on science/computer/automobile articles, and content disputes seem to be less frequent in those areas. Also, most people edit in good faith, and if I get stressed over more minor issues, I think it's better to step away, because as long as the encyclopedia is improving, eventually things will turn out okay.
