Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Luigi30

Luigi30
final (2/10/2) ending 15:18, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I am Luigi30. I have been here for a year, and have been an active RC patroller, wikifier, cleaner-upper, and all-around janitor for most of that time. I feel that having admin powers would help me better deal with vandals and spambots. I have had no major edit wars, RFCs, or anything of the sort against me, but I am familiar with Wikipedia policy.

Support
 * 1) Support. ugen 64  05:26, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) He possesses copious free time and energy, and my interactions with him in the past indicate he's not the kind of guy to go out on a limb and do something stupid with administrative priveleges. He is also quite afctive in the community, especially on IRC (my stats report him as. -Fennec (はさばくのきつね) 05:08, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Oppose Neutral
 * 1) Aren't you the same guy who was digging around for arbitration "violations" on me and eagerly reporting them? Everyking 15:21, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * "Digging for arbitration violations" is not the same as finding reverts by you while reading an article. Luigi30 15:41, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * No good deed goes unpunished. -Fennec (はさばくのきつね) 05:08, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Can someone explain this conflict here? I haven't been following this incident.  --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:32, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Needs more experience. Carrp | Talk 15:24, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose, not enough experience, although I would support after a couple more months -- Ferkelparade π 17:14, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Although you do some good work, I'm going to echo the votes above and say that you need some more experience before asking for adminship. Nadavspi | talk 22:26, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Not enough experience. -- R yan!  |  Talk  23:56, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) Sorry, but no. Maybe in a few months. Jordi·✆ 09:39, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) Should we create a rule to prohibit RfA requests for users with less than 1000 edits? --Lst27 ( t a l k )  20:14, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm slightly conflicted about that. As Luigi30 claims he is an active RC patroller, a lot of his work might be tagging articles for vfd or speedy deletion.  If that's the case, then his edit count would not reflect delete tagging, which may be the majority of his work.  I'm not saying that is the case with him, but if it were, and Admin's recognized his name from executing the speedy tags, they could vouch for him here.  I think a hard limit on the edit count might be a little too restrictive for some of these cases.  --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 22:21, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * My experience from RC patrol is that you do 5-10 reverts per speedy, and VfD tagging is a very minor component. --Carnildo 09:09, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * That is true for some, especially adminstrators who can do quick reverts. But some people just look at Special:New and revert is then not an option. --Henrygb 15:42, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Will support later. Lacks experience. Sorry. JuntungWu 22:16, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) I've already told him that 500 would be too little for RFA before he submitted, so I have to oppose. Mike H 04:06, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Too new. -- Chris 73 Talk 06:09, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Luigi's edits so far haven't generated a lot of traffic on his Talk page, so I don't have a lot to go on in evaluating his interactions with other editors, particularly contentious ones.  --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:32, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) He's a bit light on the edit count, but is getting there. I predict he'll pass without problems in a month or two. Probably someone else will nominate him in that timeframe - David Gerard 12:18, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Comments
 * 506 edits, less than 200 in article namespace. Carrp | Talk 15:24, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: Vote number 4 against is by an anon with no explanation. Inter\Echo 22:15, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * That vote appears to have been removed. There's another vote in its place. r3m0t talk 22:40, Mar 13, 2005 (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 read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. I would be active in blocking vandals, reverting vandalism, protecting pages with repeated vandalism, and being a better janitor.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I single-handedly got blue links out of Requested Articles twice, reducing page size and making it easier to tell what pages are needed.
 * 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 will deal with it in the future?
 * A. There was a user who kept pasting a vanity ad page for himself. I tagged the page for speedy deletion and he recreated it four times. Each time I tagged it, and then called for an admin in the IRC channel. My user page was then blanked by this user. The user was blocked by the admin and my user page was restored. If I were an admin, I would have warned the user that recreating the advertisement page was not allowed. When it reached the fourth time, I would have given him a final warning. When he blanked my talk page, I would have blocked him for 24 hours for repeated vandalism and
