Makemi
final (45/7/1) ending 03:31, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

– It is my privilege to nominate Makemi for adminship. A fellow enthusiast of early music, and a highly competent editor of classical music articles, Makemi has been with the project for more than three months now, and in that time has written a number of excellent, indeed superb articles (Trobairitz springs to mind, but see Makemi's user page for many others). In addition to writing and editing, this fine contributor spends a lot of time reverting vandalism and doing maintenance tasks, and – most importantly to my mind – stays cool when dealing with trolls, vandals, and hotheads, and in so doing, shows exactly the right temperament to be an admin. Makemi has a nice mix of article space, user talk space, and Wikipedia space edits; is always happy to engage in discussion with other editors; and shows a strong grasp of Wikipedia policy.

Makemi has my enthusiastic, and unqualified support, and I am happy to suggest giving this exemplary Wikipedian the keys to the broom closet. Antandrus (talk) 03:14, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

 * 19) support: Looks good; as a solid or even exemplary contributor, candidate will likely help maintain needed balance among admin selections, which seemingly veers a bit too much toward favoring vandal fighters rather than editors primarily dedicated to actually building an excyclopedia.

Oppose Neutral
 * 1) Oppose excellent editor but I prefer admins to have more experience throughout the project space. Will have my vote in a few months, now is a bit to soon.--Looper5920 12:23, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose A little too new for me. M o e   ε  20:08, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose- off to a good start, but needs more experience. Johntex\talk 02:31, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose not long enough, KI 03:39, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) Reluctant Oppose good start - but too soon  Trödel  13:52, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose Basically an echo here... good start, but a touch to new. - M ask [[Image:Flag_of_Alaska.svg|20 px]] 03:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose agree with all of the above. Needs some more seasoning.  --Mmounties ( Talk )  [[Image:pawprint.png|20px]] 02:43, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Change to support. Neutral leaning towards support. Looks good, good answers to questions, but I'm a little troubled that the user's talk page is so bare it still has the welcome message at the top. Although there is a large number of edits to other people's talk pages they are mostly warning taggings. Given a fairly low project space involvement I'm not sure the user has shown enough interraction with other editors. I'll probably pile on with the support votes but I'm thinking about it for now. --kingboyk 10:52, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Neutral. Good, quality edits, but only 3 months experience, and also per the reason given above by kingboyk.-- May the Force be with you! Shreshth91 ($ |-| ŗ 3 $ |-| ţ |-|)  07:05, 19 March 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. At first I anticipate simply doing the things I run into all the time, specifically, quicker reverts of clear vandalism when on RC patrol (I'm using Godmode lite, but it has its problems), blocking clear vandals, speedy deleting test pages/nonsense page etc. while doing newpages patrol, and doing uncontroversial page moves which are blocked by a redirect, and keeping WP:AIV on my watchlist. As I become better at using my new instruments (read:mop) I hope to help with more complex page moves, including merging histories, and closing AfDs. I feel strongly that a big danger within Wikipedia is entropy, and with a huge number of new people coming here every day, more people are needed to keep the place tidy. I don't want a vandal whacking stick (although I'll probably need it, I don't want it), I want a good spunge to make sure that Wikipedia can stay a good source of free high quality information. (mixing metaphors :))


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I'm particularly pleased with the article Trobairitz, although I anticipate doing more work on it. I also am proud of Venus and Adonis (opera). I feel that both of these are interesting, though out of the way, articles, which have the potential to teach both the newcomer and the expert something new about their subjects. In addition, I'm pleased with my work at updating some pages originally from the 1911 Britannica. At times this seems more difficult than writing an article from scratch, since you have to be careful to avoid the old-fashioned POV it can have, and it often includes since-refuted facts, such as birthdates or alternate names (see ).


 * 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. The first disagreement which comes to mind is with a user on Frédéric Chopin. This user was repeatedly inserting a false, though widely reported, birth date to the intro of the article, against consensus, and despite the discussion of the date later in the article. The user then continued with abusive edit summaries, sockpuppetry, spamming, vandalism of my user and talk pages, and even e-mailing me through the e-mail-this-user function. I responded calmly, and when it was clear that this user was unwilling to engage in meaningful debate or respect community consensus, I proceeded to continue reverting his edits which were against consensus. Oddly enough, despite the user's incivility, their behavior did not bother me terribly, although I felt the e-mail crossed a line. It's weird, but a debate on Talk:Just intonation got under my skin a lot more. It's a lot easier for me to deal with a vandal who clearly doesn't have community consensus, than when I strongly believe something to be true and other editors disagree with me. In this case I moved on to other areas, since I felt I couldn't articulate my argument well enough, or frame it in a way these editors would respect. I try to keep myself to the WP:1RR, and I've found that this works out nicely.
