Z1720
Final (194/0/0); Closed as successful by  Maxim (talk) '''  at 19:26, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Nomination
– Hi all, Z1720 has been actively editing since August 2020, though has had an account for considerably longer. It's my honour to nominate them for adminship. They know content, with 2 FAs and 5 GAs to their belt and actively participating at Featured article review and Featured article candidates pages. I've found Z1720 to be level-headed and sensible. Hence I'm sure them being an admin will be a net positive. Cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:10, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Co-nomination
It's been a pleasure to collaborate with Z1720 since early 2021. Their content work is excellent (see Types Riot and William Lyon Mackenzie), their demeanor is always calm and sensible, and they're an excellent reviewer who has helped save many older FAs at WP:FAR and have provided valuable input at many featured article candidates. Z1720 has also become a force at DYK, where more administrators are always needed to promote items to the main page and step in when manual intervention is needed for updating the main page. Z1720 has the knowledge, skills, and demeanor to be an excellent administrator. Hog Farm Talk 23:02, 20 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept this nomination. Thank you to the nominators for your kind words and to the editors who gave me advice before this RfA. I have never edited Wikipedia for money and never used an alternative account. I look forward to answering your questions below. Z1720 (talk) 18:41, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:
 * 1. Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?
 * A: My main focus as an administrator would be DYK. For the past several months I have enjoyed creating prep sets and reading articles from all over Wikipedia. I want to help keep this process working by promoting preps to queues, especially when DYK is running two sets a day.


 * I would also monitor ERRORS; I’ve been nominating at TFA for the past few months, especially articles promoted before 2016, so I have seen how that process works and why certain language is chosen for TFA blurbs. With my knowledge of the DYK and TFA process, I can quickly address concerns at ERRORS and evaluate if changes are needed to blurbs or hooks. Another area I would monitor is COIN; I have evaluated requests from editors with a conflict of interest, although not as often as I used to. If there was a backlog of COIN concerns, I would be willing to evaluate them carefully.


 * 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
 * A: My best contribution is William Lyon Mackenzie. I spent almost a year finding every source I could, summarising his life, and bringing it to FA status. It is my first FAC, so I will always have special memories of this article.


 * I am also proud of my work at articles I have reviewed at FAR, like Chinua Achebe and War of the Fifth Coalition. These are topics that I was unfamiliar with before I reviewed their FA status, but I used my knowledge of Wikipedia policy and guidelines to give comments on how to improve them. Most importantly, I collaborated with other editors to save these FAs; Wikipedia is a collaborative project and I am proud of how editors worked together to improve the articles, and I am honoured to have been a small part in helping the articles keep their FA status.


 * 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: Reviewing articles (of which I have done in DYK, GAN, PR, FAC, FAR, and FLC) will sometimes cause disagreements among editors. My approach in these disagreements is to carefully read other editors’ responses and give feedback that focuses on the content of the article (not the actions of the editor.) I also try to employ a “two response” rule, where I will only respond twice to a discussion thread unless absolutely necessary to give more information. I believe an apology can go a long way; if I make a mistake or cause an unintended consequence, I will apologise and propose ways to improve the situation.


 * In the real world, I work in an artistic field where my creations and actions are constantly critiqued. I have learned to respect their opinions and reflect on how my actions cause others to respond. As an admin, I hope editors will post on my talk page when they are concerned about my actions. If I agree with them, I will say why and try to learn from my mistake. If I disagree, I will explain why and try to find a solution. I will also ask neutral parties, particularly other admin, to look at these actions and suggest ways to improve my conduct.

You may ask optional questions below. There is a limit of two questions per editor. Multi-part questions disguised as one question, with the intention of evading the limit, are disallowed. Follow-up questions relevant to questions you have already asked are allowed.
 * Optional question from Fram
 * 4. Looking back at Template:Did you know nominations/Indiana HB 1041, what if anything would you do differently?
 * A: This is an action that I messed up. When I promoted the article, I checked the Indiana legislature source that had the precise dates of the veto and the veto override. I saw that the days were three days apart, as stated in the hook. What I missed was that the veto and the override were two months and three days apart, thus not verifying what the hook said. I realised that I messed up when I woke up the next morning and saw the ERRORS thread. While I was typing a response (which included a huge apology once I rechecked the source) the thread was unfortunately archived as resolved.


 * What I learned from this mistake is to check precise numbers carefully when promoting at DYK. If I become an admin, I will be double-checking figures while promoting preps to queues. This includes dates, monetary amounts, the amount of a group of objects or people, and anything else with a precise number. If I notice a discrepancy in the hook and the source, I will post a new thread at WT:DYK and ping the nominator, promoter, and other major participants of the DYK nomination in my post. If the situation cannot be resolved quickly (because the queue set that the hook belonged to was going to be promoted to the main page soon, or there is an extended discussion) then I will pull the hook and replace it with a hook that was promoted to a different prep set.

 * Optional question from GeoffreyT2000
 * 5. Suppose that you see a user account with any one of the following names: ZI720, Zl720, Z172O, ZI72O, or Zl72O. Would you then block them as impersonating yourself?
 * A: I wrote a very long answer to this question, referencing various pages and policy points, but the short answer is no, for a variety of reasons. If you are interested in the longer answer, feel free to post on my talk page. Before typing this answer, I reread the username policy because I was unsure about the appropriate answer. Whenever I am unsure, I am going to try to find the appropriate policy or ask another administrator for help.


 * Per WP:BADNAME, if the user is not actively editing than no further action is necessary. If they are, but their edits do not go against other policies (such as spam or vandalism) then I would check to see if there was a discussion about their username on the user’s talk page, the administrator noticeboard archives, and RFCN to see if they have been granted permission by an admin or the community to use the name. If not, I would post Template:Uw-username and encourage them to change their username due to our similarity. If the situation is not resolved at this point, I would open a new thread at WP:RFCN.


 * If policy is being broken, such as spam or impersonating me, I would file a report on the appropriate noticeboard. I would not take direct action myself as I would consider myself involved. I would contact another administrator directly if I thought immediate action needed to be taken and ask them to evaluate the situation. Z1720 (talk) 00:06, 23 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Optional question from Catfish Jim and the soapdish
 * 6. What are your worst contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
 * A: I think my worst contributions to Wikipedia were at Miriam Adams in 2016. When I nominated the article for DYK, the reviewer correctly noted that there was close paraphrasing throughout the article. Instead of fixing the problems at the time, I let the nomination fail for being stale (and not addressing the issues) and did not edit Wikipedia for many years. When I returned as an editor in 2020, I revisited the article and tried to resolve the close paraphrasing concerns. I took another look at the article today, and after some edits I think the article’s phrasing is improved even more. Z1720 (talk) 00:08, 23 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Optional questions from FormalDude
 * 7. Do you support no-warning blocks?
 * A: The short answer is yes, under very specific circumstances outlined below:
 * The question links to an essay entitled “Zero tolerance”. While essays contain helpful information, they “have no official status and do not speak for the Wikipedia community because they may be created and edited without overall community oversight” (quoted from WP:ESSAY). I read through ZT, then consulted the blocking policy to get more information.
 * The blocking policy states that “warnings are not a prerequisite for blocking” and “users acting in bad faith, whose main or only use is forbidden activity (sockpuppetry, vandalism, and so on), do not require any warning and may be blocked immediately.” WP:DISRUPTONLY outlines various scenarios in which no-warning blocks may be enacted. Before blocking without a warning, I would ensure that I am not involved in the dispute (for example, I would not block for actions in an article I nominated to FAC) and that there is ongoing disruption to the project (so for vandalism, one edit would not qualify for a non-warning block.) Z1720 (talk) 15:10, 24 August 2022 (UTC)


 * 8. Will you be open to recall?
 * A: I anticipated getting this question, and gave this a lot of thought. The short answer is no. My view is that the community should decide the desysop procedure and I do not want to add additional rules or mechanisms that have not been community approved. This means that, at the time of this RfA, I can be involuntarily desysoped by the Arbitration Committee (or bureaucrats under specific circumstances). However, I will be readily accountable to the community, answering questions on my talk page and participating in discussions about my actions in other locations, as it is required per WP:ADMINACCT.
 * If an editor is concerned about my conduct, I would encourage them to message me on my talk page or send an email. After a discussion, if there is still a major disagreement about my conduct, I would encourage them to open a thread on WP:XRV, WP:ANI, or wherever would be most appropriate for the concern (and if I think my action/conduct needs a wider community discussion, I would open it myself). I would refrain from acting in the affected area while the thread was ongoing. If the community endorsed an ArbCom case, I would actively participate in the case and answer any questions.
 * If the community changed the desysop procedure, I would fully adhere to it. If the community decided to put in a grandfather clause for older admin, I would refuse it as I would want to be held to the same standards as incoming admin. Z1720 (talk) 15:10, 24 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Optional question from Dreamy Jazz
 * 9. Hi. Thanks for willingness to take the mop and you can skip my question if you desire. What would you do if an editor reported another editor at WP:COIN and in doing so revealed non-public personal information that backed up their claim about them being a WP:PAID editor? Let me know if you want more info on that situation.
 * A: There are two separate issues in this question: WP:OUTING and potential WP:COI editing. These would need to be dealt with separately, which is why this answer is long (sorry about that).


 * The question states that the information is non-public, so I am going to assume that this editor has not posted this information on their userpage or on Wikipedia. First, I would do is replace the information with “(redacted)”. Then, I would perform a revision deletion on all article versions in the page history that contain the information, and send an email to the oversight team to have the information suppressed.


 * Then, I would post a warning on the user’s talk page that conducted the outing, indicating that this is a serious offense and under no circumstances should they post information like that again. Instead, the editor should ask on the reported user’s talk page if they have a COI (but not to disclose the nature of the COI) and if they have further suspicions they should post the COIN report without specifics on the user's identity. If the user has been previously warned about outing, I would consider blocking them.


 * I would then post a message on the talk page of the outed editor, explaining what happened and what actions I took to remove the information. I would ask them to post any questions they have and I would monitor the talk page for a couple of days (as newer editors sometimes don't know how to ping, so I want to ensure that I can answer their questions). I would then check the affected talk page, edit summary, and the editor’s user page to see if the editor has made a COI declaration (as that is where WP:DISCLOSE says it is appropriate to state a COI). If no declaration has been made, I would ask the user to read WP:COI and state underneath my message if they have a conflict of interest, without revealing the nature of the COI. If they declare a COI, I would ask them to add a COI declaration on their user page and I would add a connected contributor or paid connected contributor template to the article talk page. While both declarations are not necessary, in my opinion it is usually better to have both to avoid future concerns.


 * I would then look at the user’s edits and determine if they are promotional or promote a POV. WP:COI states that editors are strongly discouraged from editing articles that they are involved with, but they are not prohibited from editing them. That language is chosen very specifically, and admin should not block an editor for editing an article of which they have a COI unless there are other concerns. Rather, I would look at the user’s edits and check for things like removing negative prose about the article topic, adding promotional material or POV concerns, and post my findings in the COIN thread. If I had time, I would edit the article to ensure that it meets Wikipedia policy. If the editor had been previously warned about promotional or POV editing, I would consider blocking them.

 * Thank you for your indepth answer. You have my support. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 18:52, 24 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Optional question from KSAWikipedian
 * 10. To see your individual thought process and judgment, would you please give 2-3 example of what you would consider as appropriate uses of ignoring all rules? Thank you.
 * A: Ignore all rules should only be used if following the rules would be detrimental or disruptive to the project. As an admin, I would invoke this policy sparingly, and probably immediately post a notice in ANI or contact appropriate users (ARBCOM, oversight team, bureaucrats, etc.) as necessary. If I cannot justify invoking IAR when questioned, which I will inevitably be questioned about, then I would not use it.


 * An example of an instance when I would IAR is if an administrator started posting inappropriate swear words and juvenile text on Wikipedia articles. This would be considered vandalism, but more importantly, this would be uncharacteristic of an admin and cause me to suspect that the account was compromised. I would block the user without a warning (thus IAR) and immediately post a message on the bureaucrats’ noticeboard and email the Stewards to lock the account. I would continuously monitor my notice about my suspicions to answer any questions and justify my actions. I cannot think of a second specific example at this time. Z1720 (talk) 15:43, 24 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Optional question from KSAWikipedian
 * 10a-Follow-up. Have you ever taken any steps where you ignored rules, but still did the right thing?
 * A: I cannot think of a time when I ignored the rules on Wikipedia. If I have a concern with following a specific policy or guideline, I post the situation on the appropriate talk page or noticeboard and ask for additional opinions. This has happened so rarely and I would have to search several archives to find an example of this. Z1720 (talk) 22:24, 25 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Optional question from KSAWikipedian
 * 11. If asked to review a pure judgement call decision made by another admin with no clear policy support, under what circumstances would undo that decision?
 * A: I cannot think of a specific instance where I would undo an administrator action unilaterally. Instead, I would post on the administrator’s talk page and ask them why they conducted their actions. If this did not resolve the issue, I would post a notice on WP:XRV or WP:ANI to have a wider community conversation about their actions. Z1720 (talk) 15:50, 24 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Optional question from Lights and freedom
 * 12. Can you explain how this fits the description of "removing copyright concerns"? If you think it does not fit this description, can you explain what you could have done instead?


 * A: This is another example of where I made a mistake in promoting a DYK hook. Sometimes, when constructing preps, the earwig copyright tool indicates copyright concerns. If the problem is minor (a sentence or two) I will fix it myself by summarising the information or phrasing sentences differently. In that article’s case, when I promoted it I thought I could fix the copyright concerns with some minor edits, but the problems were too vast and it should not have been promoted in the first place. What I should have done is post a notice in the DYK nomination page explaining the copyright problems, and not promote the hook.
 * As an admin, if I was promoting a prep to queue and noticed similar copyright problems in an article, I would immediately pull the hook from the set and move it to a lower prep. I would then outline my concerns on the DYK talk page, pinging the nominator, reviewer, and prepper. If the copyright issue is not resolved quickly (probably about a day), I would revert the promotion and pull the hook from the prep sets entirely. I would then replace the pulled hook with a promoted hook from a different prep set (keeping in mind the geographic, topic, and biography requirements of prep sets) and promote the prep set to queue if there were no further concerns. Z1720 (talk) 14:06, 25 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Optional question from User:Robert McClenon
 * 13. Do you have any experience in trying to resolve either article content disputes or user conduct disputes in Wikipedia?
 * A: When I spent more time fulfilling COI edit requests, I would encounter editors who wanted to add promotional or POV language to articles. If rejecting their request, I would explain why I was not adding or changing the prose by referencing Wikipedia policy and guidelines, then trying to explain my reasoning in non-Wikipedia terms (as many COI editors do not have experience with Wikipedia jargon). Sometimes editors would react negatively to my response, but I would calmly explain my position and invite the editor to ask questions on the talk page, WP:HELPDESK or WP:TEAHOUSE.

 * Optional question from 2601:647:5800:1A1F:DD97:EAF0:FD70:BA4B
 * 14. What is your experience level with WP:NPP, WP:AFD, WP:AFC, etc.?
 * A: I have not participated with NPP, though I have created articles that were patrolled. None of the articles I created have been deleted, according to xtools.


 * In late 2020, I was regularly participating in AfD discussions, as I considered it a “jury duty” responsibility for moderately experienced editors. I focused on articles that were relisted, as I thought my contributions could help the discussion come to a resolution. I also focused on Canadian articles as I know about and have access to Canadian sources that those from other countries would not be able to search. I pulled back on AfD because I wanted to focus on article writing and WP:URFA/2020.


 * I have done some AfC patrolling on an inconsistent schedule. When patrolling, I determine if the article would be declared “keep” at AfD and, for BLPs, if all paragraphs and quotations have a citation. When declining the draft, I try to leave a detailed message in addition to the templated messages that give specific information on how the draft can be improved before resubmission. If approved to be an admin, I would leave short, detailed messages when performing admin actions to explain my reasoning. Z1720 (talk) 16:25, 26 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Optional questions from Chess
 * 15. As you're aware, WP:COIEDIT "strongly discourages" editors with a COI from directly editing articles. In practice, editors with COIs are often brought to WP:COIN for directly editing related articles. What factors would you consider when deciding whether to prevent an editor with a COI from directly editing related articles?
 * A: A factor I would consider is if the prose added or changed by the COI editor is promotional or violates WP:NPOV. I would also check to see if the editor is making multiple edits and has been asked to stop on the article’s talk page or their own talk page (aka been given a warning). A factor I would not consider is if the editor is editing an article of which they have a declared COI, as WP:COI allows this as long as the edits do not violate other policies and guidelines (even though this is strongly discouraged). Z1720 (talk) 15:09, 29 August 2022 (UTC)


 * 16. When, if ever, would you consider it appropriate to WP:PBLOCK an editor from mainspace?
 * A: One situation I would consider a partial block from the mainspace is if: 1) the editor is causing disruption on a number of mainspace pages, 2) the disruption is recent and ongoing, 3) the editor has been appropriately warned to stop and has either ignored or rejected the warning(s). Z1720 (talk) 15:12, 29 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Optional question from Ruwaym
 * 17. Let me say it clearly: Do you acknowledge the existence of what i call it "persecution of users by access-holders"? especially through indefinite block; here in EnWiki or other projects.
 * A: I’m not sure what “access-holders” refers to. Since indefinite blocks are cited as an example, my guess is that it refers to any user permissions with include the block function (for example: admins, bureaucrats and stewards) and I am answering this question with this assumption.


 * Unfortunately, with any group of people there are going to be those who make mistakes, and I encourage editors to outline instances when I can improve my skills or handle a situation differently. When blocking a user, I will outline the specific reasons and answer questions about my actions. I will encourage users to contact me if they have questions or concerns so that we can attempt to resolve the issue. If there are still concerns, a review of my actions can take place on the appropriate noticeboard, and I will guide users as to how to file a report. I have not studied admin use of the block function on en-wiki, so I cannot give an opinion about if this function is being abused. I also cannot comment on actions on other wikis as they are organised separately from en-wiki and have their own policies and guidelines that may differ from those on en-wiki.

 * 17) Support, character, clue, conscientousness and content.  Z1720 has been around a long time, knows the ropes, and has two Featured articles, but more relevant is their selflessness in reviewing candidate articles for others at FAC, FAR, Unreviewed Featured articles and peer review.  For years, Z1720 has maintained peer review submissions for articles headed towards FAC, submitted articles for others at TFA at the requests page, and prepared the quarterly reports of featured articles needing review. To recognize the work of others towards restoring FAs to standard, Z1720 initiated the Featured Article Save Award (while declining to accept the award for their own efforts), and prompted the Signpost article on the effort to review old FAs.  There have been many sticky situations when other writers were unhappy with a review or FAR nomination, but Z1720 always maintained their characteristic good cheer, optimism, and conscientous politeness, even when under fire. Z1720 is selfless and egoless, never personalizes a situation, and has the characteristics that will hold them in good stead as they move forward as an admin; I hope we don't lose their work on Featured articles.  I've worked closely with Z for about three two years now, and know they are to be trusted. If there's a mop requirement they're not up on, Z will ask and not dive in unless they can get it right.

Neutral
Moving to support. I don't really feel comfortable being the first to make a vote in the neutral section here and I'm not leaning one way ir the other. However, I'm not finding it easy to pass this on an aggregate of my 'laundry list'. The candidate's work at FA is without doubt excellent but I don't see much work in governance or maintenance areas that while not requiring admin tools would demonstrate a sense of judgment. I realise that DYK needs the intervention of admins but I'm not sure if that alone is a suffciently compelling reason to have the sysop toolset. I'm going to stay here for a while while I do some more looking. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:41, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

General comments

 * Just for the record, Z1720 is pronounced as Zed-One-Seven-Two-Oh per their userpage, and not as "Zee-One". Although I had pronounced it as "zed", and "zero". —usernamekiran (talk) 16:50, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
