Mizu onna sango15
[ Voice your opinion] (talk page) (6/8/0) (Final) -- Candidate has withdrawn. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 07:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

- I am nominating User:Mizu onna sango15 for adminship. I've have been her admin coach and when I started coaching her, she instantly impressed me in many ways, including but not limited to politeness, calmness, superb insight and understanding, broad wiki knowledge, and promptness. She has been very active at TfD, and understands that area well. Her insight and input there has been highly valued by the regulars there. She is a member of several wikiprojects, but most notably WP:ANIME and WP:FILM; she has been quite active at WP:RFA, WP:NPP too. She also speaks excellent Japanese. She has also been active in these areas: Copyediting, GA nom, WikiGnomeism, Adoption, Vandal-fighting, Welcoming users, New users patrolling, XfD !voting--AFD, TFD MFD, RFD, NPP, RCP. I present: User:Mizu onna sango15 for RFA-ship. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 02:04, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Co-nomination I am co-nominating Mizu_onna_sango15, because of her horribly infectious kindness, her exemplary dedication to Wikipedia, and for her great intrest in helping people. I first met her when I welcomed her into this big Wiki (as a welcome message), and I've been beside her ever since. She is by far, the best Wikipedian I have EVER seen.

 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I thankfully accept. -- Mizu onna sango15 / Discuss 01:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC) I withdraw my nomination. Again, thank you all whom've participated. I'll be sure to gain more experience next time. :-) -- Mizu onna sango15 / Discuss  07:00, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
 * 1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
 * A: I plan on starting off small and working my way up gradually, mainly at WP:AIV, WP:UAA, CAT:CSD and making non-controversial closes at WP:AFD, WP:RFD, and WP:TFD. Malinaccier kindly granted me rollback a few months back, so I'll be helping out with recent changes patrolling, as well. I am not very active at WP:RFPP, but will be willing to help out there if assistance is needed, as always.


 * 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
 * A:I'm rather proud of my current GA nomination (thanks to EyeSerene for helping out there, also). Aside from that, I haven't written any GA's or Featured articles, though I would like to. I am also happy that I helped out with CSD tagging, recent changes patrolling, and my participation in XFDs.


 * 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:I've been in a few before, but none particularly terrible. My first was with Collectonian, and was resolved rather swiftly (and was, for the most part, a misunderstanding). There have also been some circumstances in which I had prodded an article and the creator contested, so some conflicts have arisen from that. Malleus Fatuorum and I had a bit of an argument over the Ryan RfA recently, but again, that was very short-lived. Aside from that, ther are no conflicts that come to mind.

Support

 * 1) Strong support as nom. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 01:54, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Support Great help at TfD.  MBisanz  talk 01:57, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Strong Support as co-nom :D L337*P4wn 01:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Strong Support, excellent editor, smart, fair-minded, great attitude. Will make an excellent admin.  Dreadstar  †  02:09, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) In my interactions with Mizu onna sango15, I found her to be a polite person who responds well to criticism, and someone who learns from mistakes. She'll be excellent. Acalamari 02:12, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Support, per delving into her contributions. Yes, she made a few mistakes in tagging speedies. Most people who have tagged speedies have made mistakes there at some point. She has tagged far more correctly than she has incorrectly. What I most like about this user is her humility when confronted with her mistakes and her willingness to change and grow from them. I think she would make a very solid administrator. S. Dean Jameson 03:05, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Oppose - I'm sorry, but there's a number of inappropriate pages Mizu has tagged for speedy deletion over the past couple of months which means I don't think he has a good enough grasp of the speedy deletion criteria to use the delete button effectively. Here he tags PriceSCAN which has multiple independent sources. This tag for A7 has notability because Rick Carey (singer) was a member of the band Baha Men. This clearly isn't nonsense, and Vincent Cruz has written several books. He tagged the Chief Justice of the Federal Court of Australia for A1, yet it clearly had a context by stating his roles. Here Reynir Bödvarsson was tagged, yet there was a claim to notability by being responsible for the Swedish National Seismology Network. This just isn't nonsense - it's a good faith attempt by a newbie that could easily have been fixed with formatting changes. Here he tagged Arthur Morton (cricketer, born 1882), yet he had played first team cricket for the county of Derbyshire. Finally, here he tagged an attorney that had been on numerous American TV shows (see the legal commentary section).  Ry an P os tl et hw ai te  02:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your input, Ryan. Just a note: I'm female. No problem, though. Do you have any recent diffs? A couple months back seems to be a little long. -- Mizu onna sango15 / Discuss 02:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Please accept my apologies - I didn't realise you were female, I'm extremely sorry if you were offended. I respect that these diffs go back two months, but that's not long in wiki-time. You do tag a lot of pages that should be deleted as well, but I'm just concerned that in a relatively short space of time, you've tagged quite a few that shouldn't be deleted. That said, you're not too far off the mark and I think in a couple of months you'll be ready. Well done by the way on your article work - you do a good service to WP.

 * 1) Strong Oppose - I've seen this user working at UAA, and simply would not trust them with the block button., user didn't even edit, , , , a question in an UAA report? apalling. There are more like this - tenuous, borderline, users who haven't edited.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 02:27, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Changing to strong oppose based on CSD diffs above. Candidate clearly needs more experience. UAA and CSD are the two most bitey areas for newbies.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 02:34, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose The concerns raised above are legitimate. I am also concerned about the rather light edit history that has nearly 2/3's of all of this editors edits taking place in the past two months. There is definite potential here, and a broader edit history will go a long way to changing my opinion in a future RfA. Alansohn (talk) 03:27, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose. Good editor, generally because she have a good heart willing to help others (adoptee program, etc). However, she seems to be emotional when conflicting to people who have other opinions. Tagging speedy deletion hastily to newly created articles is also a problem.--Caspian blue (talk) 03:35, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose I wish I could support this very civil editor who does good work, but,  I don't think you are ready yet, the CSD diffs and UAA diffs indicate you need to become more familiar with deletion process and blocking policy. Work on those and retry in a few months and you will succeed.— Ѕandahl  03:52, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose Try again in a couple of months (4-6 would be good). That way, you'll get some more experience and truly be ready. NuclearWarfare (talk) 04:34, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) Regretful Oppose The diffs Ryan brought up bother me very much. When doing new pages patrol you must be extra careful since a lot of new pages are created by newbies. You don't want to tag a perfectly fine page, and have the article creator leave wikipedia because of it. In the past few months you've tagged at least 9 appropriate articles. I'm not saying you're careless when doing new pages patrol, but you're not careful enough. I trust you'd use the delete tool appropriately most of the time, but not enough of the time. Some of Wisdom89's diffs bother me as well. If it weren't for those things I'd support you, and I hope you have another Rfa in the future:-) Sorry for opposing you this time.-- SJP Chat  04:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Here for the wrong reasons. —Giggy 05:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
