Slgrandson
Final (34/25/8); ended 17:26, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

- It has been more or less a year since first took me to the challenge. Well, guess what? My misunderstanding of WP:IAR, along with improper answer readjustment, made this attempt quickly done for.

At this moment, I am now learning some good lessons and examples as I progress in my Wikipedia work. Sorry if I took the blocking/deleting desire too hard last time, but now I know better.

I may have 7,650+ permanent contributions and counting—amazing for someone who claims to be the only real user out of Dominica—but as they say, like age and the box-office, it's only another number.

My goal was to come back after my total number of created articles reached 300, but, what on earth? I hope that's "Ignore all rules" for you. Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 17:15, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: «J'accepte,» dit Romarin Passiflore. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 18:02, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer the following questions to provide guidance for participants:
 * 1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
 * A: First thing first: AIV. On and off, I've submitted several suspicious users there for vandalism, and nearly all of these got blocked. Then there are the CSD and Prod departments, where I'll have a look at pages so marked (especially for five-day deadlines at Prodsum). And last, Even I'll try to help out some more in new page and RC patrolling.


 * I could also be of some help at XFD, too; I'll try to help out in the backlogs for every sector.


 * 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
 * A: Right now, it's, which I'm working hard to bring to featured status anytime this month. Otherwise, I've got three GAs (in Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw, The Care Bears Movie and Nelvana) and three DYKs (Family Moving Day, The Princess and the Goblin (1992) and Tubby the Tuba (1975)) that will make for a triple crown when my episode list successfully gets through FLC.


 * 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: Occasionally, apart from the bots that tell me about images and deleted links, I'm all right in my endeavours.


 * Yet something bad always happens to every established editor, and honestly I haven't escaped that reality. For instance, there was this moment back in September 2006 when  made what I thought was a defamatory edit to . Upon my removal of "convicted criminal," some chaos erupted over whose version was legitimate. It was only settled when I finally acknowledged the fact that she was still a criminal.


 * And of course, I felt so upset when vandalised my page—the only time this has happened to me so far. From then on, I've often taken a little risk when warning IPs, because they might do the same thing.


 * Question from EJF (talk · contribs)
 * 4. Are you of the opinion that non-admins should not close AfDs? I ask this because of your comment here.
 * A. Not quite, although I now realise MFC closed it a little bit too early. This may apply when a debate is still running, and the page in question has already been deleted via CSD or otherwise. See, for instance, my recent closure for Zebtron (under G11).
 * 5. I notice in your answer to question 3 that you say you were upset when your user page was vandalised. As a admin working in AIV, it is likely that your userpage will be vandalised very regularly, with vandals posting profanity and obscene edits on your userspace; do you feel you will cope with this?
 * A. Again, I'm risking every report and warning because they might do it at any time. If it persists, protection on my page may ensue, and I will still warn them against such vandalism.

Question from Majorly

6. Are you aware of the RfA cheatsheet? You may like to look at it to help you answer the stock questions above (additionally, have a look at some of the other requests on this page for useful answers.)
 * A: Till now, not yet. But this is a useful thing to have around.
 * Comment: Even I'm wasn't aware of that! I have removed the questions now. -- The  Helpful   One  (Review) 22:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Damn it. How come I didn't know there's a cheatsheet? I wouldn't have failed my first RfA if I know of its existence.... OhanaUnitedTalk page 04:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Whoa. I didn't know that even existed. Although some might debate the answer to the last question... -- Sharkface T/C 20:37, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Question from Jon513
 * 7. On January 28, 2008 Kumarasenpvl1611 (talk · contribs) expanded the article on Puduvayal India (diff). I think that is wonderful; editors from that area of the world are a great resource to the project, and help counter systematic bias.  Around the same time, he created an article about a football club in that area (New Land Football Club).  The article was speedied as an A7 with a templated message left on his page. When he recreated it again you (deleted diff) marked it as a G4 (incorrectly?), left a message on his page and it was speedied again as an A7. On February 12, 2008 he attempted under a different username (User:Kumarasen1611) to create the page for a third time.   It was cleaned up by a different user, and then speedied a day later.  No communication took place at all the third time.
 * I strongly suspect that because of the speedy deletion of this page we have lost a valuable contributor. I don't think that your incorrect labeling as G4 instead of A7 had much to do it; the same would have taken place if you place a A7 notice on the page.  But you were part of a larger pattern of neglect towards new users, that is now very common on Wikipedia.  What do you think can be done to ameliorate this trend?
 * A: To counter the occasional biting that many newbies face, we have to adopt more of them and show them just what the editing process is about. How about we put in this guide on our welcome templates for emphasis? That way, everyone will feel settled in once they read pages like the introduction box, five pillars, and the quintessential Your first article. Too many newbies at present, I fear, overlook every single bit of this, and go once (albeit only once in nearly all scenarios) to create a whole batch of CSD trouble and headache for admins and the community at large. With this suggestion, it's time we showed them how much quality it takes to get through the Wikipedia system.

Question from Tiptoety  talk
 * 8. What would be your requirements for granting a rollback request?
 * A: The user must have made at least 500 quality contributions to Wikipedia, and stayed here for 3-5 months. If said user has committed vandalism, 3RR, or attacks against others, he or she will not be given those rights when asking for them. However, once one is given rollback rights and then misuses them, these will be revoked in this case as well and should never be given back, though this has rarely happened so far. See Wikipedia talk:Requests for rollback#Its [sic] that time. for the basis of this answer.

Question from TheProf - T / C
 * 9. If a user who has only been a member for 2-3 months and all his/her edits so far have been vandal fighting asked you for rollback rights. Would you ignore your criteria (as stated in your answer to question 8) and grant them the rollback rights? Note: All the example users vandal fighting has been good with no mistakes.
 * A: Per IAR, this would be a definite yes! If he/she keeps up with the good work, then he/she is guaranteed a high chance at succeeding in adminship. That, and a whole lot of article development/Wikipedia duties, can easily come in handy.

Questions from Mr. IP, defender of IP editing


 * 10. What is your gut feeling about edits by anonymous IPs? When do you respond differently to an IP editor's actions than to those of an editor with an account?
 * A: I've always been—and acted—suspicious over IP edits, because the great majority have always been known to constitute vandalism, which any established wiki site like this one does not recommend. Once in a while (occasionally earlier in my WP career), I've seen some IPs with a good deal of good edits—enough to make me give them a welcome with welcomeip or anon.


 * 11. Do you feel that anonymous IPs should have more rights at Wikipedia, or less?
 * A: This is really a hard one to answer, because a great deal of IP editing is done over shared and school networks. Speaking of schools, libraries and the like, I think the staff of such institutions should especially teach the younger ones how to edit properly, not go around wasting others' time and valuable effort with their ongoing vandalism.

Question from KC109
 * 12.What would your criteria to delete an article from Wikipedia?
 * A: Usually, when new page patrol calls, I rely on Google to see whether a page stays or goes. Said subject must have received over 1,000 results--and a clipping from a reliable source--if it has to survive. Otherwise, it's off to Prod or AFD.


 * Moreover, there are cases of CSD I have to go through almost every time: pages on 12-year-old wanna-bes (A7), scribbles (G1), and even tables (G2), one of which I detected in an in-progress page called.

Very hard question from Kim Bruning

 * A:

 * 3) Support - trustworthy editor. PhilKnight (talk) 19:55, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Support - The user is an established and trustworthy editor, with applaudable goals. While he lacks experience in several key areas, his history of constructive editing and demonstrated familiarity with policies leads me to believe that he shall become acclimated in no time at all once given the trusty mop.  Policies are not too difficult to learn; it's following them that seems to cause people trouble, and this user is one of the few that doesn't seem to have much difficulty there either.  You'll make a great admin! --Liempt (talk) 21:19, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Nice. Consider that my rationale as well, because it is.   Keegan talk 21:33, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Support, as he's a very helpful user, and it does not concern me that he's not done much AIV work, (per Liempt: he will learn). · AndonicO  Hail!  21:43, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Support It is time to give him the mop. -- S iva1979 Talk to me 22:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * 5) Per all.  Majorly  (talk) 00:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Support per above and meets my standards. While more experience in the admin areas would have been preferable, user has sufficient experience to use the tools constructively so long as caution, WP:AGF, and common sense are given rein. Oh, yes. Self noms do not trouble me one bit. Dloh  cierekim'''  01:56, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

 * 3) Support Nothing in any of the contributions history, ansers to the questions or the oppose comments leads me to believe that this editor will abuse the tools . -- Mattinbgn\talk 05:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Support. Know from a long time ago. Obvious support. RyanGerbil10 (Kick 'em in the Dishpan!) 06:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Weak support - user is OK. Wikipedia-project-talk could have been much higher (interaction with others in project space), but other than that, nothing stands out that should deny this user the tools.  Lra drama 08:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

 * 6) Support - I see no red flags. Slgrandson is reasonable and reliable. P.S. I view self-noms as prima facie evidence of self-confidence. Kingturtle (talk) 14:48, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) Weak support - I change my mind. I think this user has a little learning to do, but don't we all? Nice answers to questions, so WP:AGF. Tiptoety  talk 15:19, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) It's okay if he only has a few edits to AIV: in my second RfA, I mentioned that I wanted to help out at RFPP, yet I only had about two edits to that page at the time, no one opposed me for that, and I haven't gone wild protecting pages. Also, Slgrandson is not in a hurry to re-request adminship, for his previous RfA was almost a year ago, and he's been editing since early-2005. Any evidence to show that he will abuse the tools? Acalamari 16:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) Support - I was somewhat on the fence because your answers comes off as a little wishy washy, but I really don't see anything that inhibits my ability to trust you. You have been an active editor far longer than many Admins have even been editing, so you clearly understand the project and know your way around. Good luck!

 * 15) Support - I've seen him around, and I see no problems. // A Raider Like Indiana 15:50, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 16) Support - User is likely to continue the bias at Wikipedia against anonymous IP editors, and unlikely to stand up against the continued erosion of anonymous IP editor rights. However, the user's overall record and contributions are extremely solid, and this user would be likely to make a good administrator in other respects.  Therefore, I reluctantly lend my support.

 * 1) Support Like I did last time. Yanksox (talk) 03:44, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Support Even though he doesn't have many edits in WP:AIV, by posting this, it shows an extreme want to help out the community. Therefore, I find no reason to deny him the flag when we have a person who just wants to help out the community.  Good luck in the future!  Razorflame (talk) 20:04, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Support, I'm of the belief that Slgrandson has been a member of Wikipedia for sometime now and is quite capible of being a good wiki-citizen in an administrative capacity. Support. CaribDigita (talk) 02:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Support. I think the nominee has full understanding of WP's policies and I see no risk that he may abuse the tools. --Abrech (talk) 12:25, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Weak Oppose - You indicate that you wish to work at WP:AIV to start, yet there seems to be a pittance of contributions to that area. Granted, it's not really brain surgery, but, I would still like to see experience in the areas you wish to work in as stated in question 1. Also, I didn't see much in the way of WP:CSD participation. I saw some red links which looked accurate, but CSD is starting to become a tricky area to work with. I'd like to see more contributions in order to feel comfortable supporting.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 18:33, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose-- I agree with the directly above. So many people come along claiming to want to work in AIV have about 2 edits there. I can only (yet again) emphasise what brilliant preperation for adminship AIV really is. --Cameron (t|p|c) 20:36, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Weak Oppose - Per  Wisdom89 's explanation. You seem to be a good user, with articles under your belt, and I'm sure you will learn - but just a little bit more working in the areas where you say you will help when you are an administrator will be good! -- The  Helpful   One  (Review) 09:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose - Self-nomination. Agree or disagree doesn't matter. It's a point of view supported in some quarters.Netkinetic  (t / c / @) 00:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Removed nonconstructive disruption of wikipedia.Balloonman (talk) 22:02, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Please do not call my good-faith edits disruption nor remove them. Ideally, learn some very basic decency and let someone else handle it. Dorftrottel (complain) 04:32, April 13, 2008
 * 1) Oppose It concerns me greatly that a person who is running for adminship has as many articles/pictures nominated for deletion and/or license validity questioned. While anybody can have an occassional article/picture questioned, the consistency of yours being nominated raises questions as to whether or not you know and can apply the standards.  I am also concerned with your stated goal of having created 300 articles.  This is pure editcountitis.  But, what is worse, is that looking at the articles that you've created, there are quite a few that could be nom'd for deletion.  Looking at a haphazard sample of your articles, it looks as if you are simply creating stubs with the desire of getting to your goal of 300.  Then you leave the stub for others to clean up/expand.  I'd rather see somebody making more commitment to develop articles than take pride in the 'raw number' of poorly written stubs.Balloonman (talk) 02:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Both here and in real life, I always face overwhelming tasks. With so much yet to do, I really can't choose what article(s) to get involved with next, so that might be part of the problem. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 04:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * This will become even more difficult once you become an admin; perhaps you ought first to become confident in coping with your present responsibilities. DGG (talk) 01:44, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose &mdash; I view self-noms as prima facie evidence of power hunger. Kurt Weber ( Go Colts! ) 02:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments about Kurt and not the candidate have been removed. We're all reasonable people here, folks. Let's understand that his argument is his and his alone and move on with our lives. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 18:26, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Another removed. · AndonicO  Hail!  12:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - While I like the answer to my question, I do not think you are quite ready yet. Looking over your deleted contribs I see little to no CSD tagging. Just overall more admin related experience is need before I can support. Tiptoety  talk 04:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose - While my own few interactions with Slgrandson have been quite pleasant, I feel an admin should have a good understanding of some of Wikipedia's key policies and guidelines, such as proper image uploading and adding appropriate FURs to non-free images. I also feel he needs to continue learning more about the proper use of CSD, PROD, and xFD before working in such areas and would like to see more xFD participation beyond the much appreciated delsorting :) I also feel leary about a self-nom, but but have to have kudos for having the self-confidence to do so :) Collectonian (talk) 17:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose per Balloonman and others. A much better understanding of policies is needed, as well as a (slightly more optional but no less important) demonstration of the ability to see a project through. Kafziel Complaint Department 19:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose Nominee states that they will focus on AIV but has only made 14 reports, and only 5 in the last 10 months. Also, in this recent report, the nominee asked that an IP address (with no apparent previous block history, and only a handful of warnings) be blocked for "at least 3-6 months". This seems far too heavy-handed and completely against policy. I can only come to the conclusion that if the nominee had the block button they would indeed have blocked for that length of time. TigerShark (talk) 22:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That happened 3 months ago. Surely, we all learn and grow. Has such a heavy-handed request happened since? Kingturtle (talk) 12:32, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. The user he reported in that diff was only warned once, had only ever made two edits, made no edits since that one and only warning, yet Slgrandson reported him to AIV anyway. Kafziel Complaint Department 15:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't call your example heavy handed. Kingturtle (talk) 13:21, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose per diff presented by TigerShark. Not only is a 3-6 month block for a likely-dynamic I.P. utterly against policy, but the user's "problematic" edits, while quite possibly outright fibs, seem more than borderline enough to warrant actual communication, rather than generic uw-vandalismx garbage. Automated tools (TW, AWB, etc) are no longer in vogue on RfA, and actions like these show why. --Badger Drink (talk) 03:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose. Mainly per Balloonman, but the diffs presented by TigerShark & Badger Drink also worry me, though I don't know enough to evaluate the IP's contributions. Espresso Addict (talk) 04:31, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose the time to learn about policy is before you apply for adminship. The time to apply for adminship is when you have made enough discussions of policy in WP space or elsewhere that we can see that you do in practice know it, instead of having to rely on answers to questions here. DGG (talk) 13:31, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose After looking this candidate over, I feel he needs to brush up quite a bit on policy and have more participation in admin related areas. ArcAngel (talk) 13:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) Weak Oppose - Fails to show enough proficiency in the admin related areas of stated interest. Otherwise good. &mdash;  scetoaux (T|C)  19:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose - I'd rather people with admin power had an interest in contributing to more serious articles. Perhaps this will inspire him to do more contributions in these areas. OptimistBen (talk) 06:34, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * How do you measure the "seriousness" of an article? Popular culture is an important part of the encyclopedia, like it or not. As long as he writes articles, at least a little, that's enough. He's in no way obliged to change his interests because someone didn't think them "serious" enough for an admin. · AndonicO  Engage. 12:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Weak oppose I think you need to brush up on policy, specifically WRT image tagging and block policy.  Please come back and try again in a couple of months. &mdash;Moondyne click! 14:34, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose, poor experience dealing with this user. Everyking (talk) 18:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) I don't believe this user knows the importance of anonymous editing.  Ral315 (talk) 20:06, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose We were all anonymous/IP users once. Implementing this candidates' IP user policy would stifle new blood coming into Wikipedia. --Speakermeonce (talk) 23:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC) — Speakermeonce (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Speaking for myself, I've only edited with an account, never with an IP, so I wasn't ever an anonymous/IP user. Acalamari 19:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose, self-nominated. Tool2Die4 (talk) 13:18, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Weak oppose with the same concern as my other half... we don't agree often on RfAs, but here is one case. I was surprised to see an otherwise experienced candidate with a recent fair-use image warning on his talk page. I think this user acts very much in good faith, and thus would not abuse the tools, but does not have the understanding to properly use them in this area. --Ginkgo100talk 14:35, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) In my understanding, requests for adminship have always been about the community's assesment of the judgement of the candidate. The points raised above, specifically those of the application of various image issues etc, prevents me from affirming this user's judgement at this moment in time.

 * 4) Oppose The candidate's answers to questions worry me that mistakes might be made which could have the effect of biting newbies. I feel that more experience of working with policy would be helpful. Sheffield Steel talkstalk 20:22, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) Oppose per balloonman, rudget, DGG, and Scetoaux, who've all said it better than I could. Just too much to overcome at this time.  Looking forward to supporting a future RfA when concerns are alleviated.  Sorry,   Keeper   |   76   |   Disclaimer  21:36, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose per DGG, this seems just a little too soon. Please try again in 6 months or so.  Jerry   talk ¤ count/logs 02:38, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose per Kurt Weber. Also, his answer to Q9 seems very strange (and somewhat frightening).-- Koji Dude  (Contributions) 23:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose Per Baloonman. Instead of creating 300 articles (many mediocre, esp. with regard to sourcing), it would have been better to create 3 or 4 that are substantive and well sourced, and fill a real gap in WP. Also, if you are going to create articles, please, please, please read WP:NC; I have had to fix (via move) many, many of these.UnitedStatesian (talk) 05:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Neutral does not deserve an oppose.  Sexy Sea  Shark  17:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Neutral There are good sides and bad sides to all arguments posted here. I, at this time, do not feel comfortable taking a side here. I feel that while you might make a good Admin, your past actions concern me. I suggest an updated Editor Review.  D u s t i talk to me 17:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Neutral Not good enough for a support but not that bad for an RfA. Jh  fireboy  Talk  20:48, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * 6) Good user, but concerns per the oppose reasons concern me. But I can't decide whether to support or oppose, so I am voting neutral. NHRHS2010 | Talk to me  21:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) Neutral Good and bad points. Either way good for me. Roadrunnerz45 (talk) 10:37, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
