Mizu onna sango15 (talk · contribs) – Mizu was first nominated for adminship on July 10, 2008 but she withdrew it as the consensus was that it was too early for her but that she had great potential for adminship and that she should try again in a few months. So, I'm nominating her again. Everything in that first nomination still holds, so I won't repeat it here. Soon after she withdrew from that first RFA, two articles she worked on heavily have attained Good Article status: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007 film) and WALL-E. She has also worked hard on the areas of concern from that first RFA, including WP:CSD, WP:AFD, WP:RFD, WP:MFD, WP:TFD, recent changes, article building, Wikiproject work, and WP:RFA. — Rlevse • Talk • 14:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Co-nomination

I first encountered Mizu on the pages of the now defunct League of Copyeditors and was impressed with her cheerful, helpful and courteous attitude towards other editors. I've since worked with her on Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007 film), where as well as reinforcing my initial good impression, she showed great patience, determination and a sound knowledge of Misplaced Pages's editing policies. Although I was slightly disappointed when she decided to withdraw her first RfA, I agreed with her decision in the light of the comments made, and noted at the time that it displayed a level of maturity and judgement becoming of a potential administrator. With more experience under her belt, I'm very pleased to see her back here; I believe Mizu is exactly the sort of editor we should be presenting with the tools.

Co-nomination

I'd like to offer a co-nomination to Mizu onna sango15. I actually opposed her previous RfA because I didn't think she was quite ready, but I made a pledge to myself to keep an eye on her because I could really see the potential for the future. I'm pleased to say I think she's now ready. She's a well rounded Wikipedian who enjoys both administration and article writing. As Rlevse has already stated, she's had experience with good articles and you can see numerous article edits in her contributions. She's also very effective in meta type work where she comments well in XfD's, always giving firm policy reasoning and her comments show a good depth of research showing she doesn't just hit and run. I think Mizu will now make an extremely good administrator and I ask that you support her request for adminship. Ryan Postlethwaite 18:46, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, I graciously accept. —Mizu onna sango15 17:47, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Misplaced Pages as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

This time, I plan on working gradually, performing some easy tasks and slowly working into others. If this RfA succeeds, I will start off doing some TfD, RfD work, and Recent Changes-related adminning, and gradually work into CSD, Usernames for Administrator Attention, and AfD. I also plan on helping to lessen the backlog at WP:RFPP.

2. What are your best contributions to Misplaced Pages, and why?

I'm proud of my minor-but-important contributions such as vandal-reversion, cleanup and WikiGnoming, but I also must say my article-work, highlighted by Rlevse above, is my greatest accomplishment content-wise.

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?

My most recent conflict, albeit rather civil, involved a disagreement regarding the style to which musical theatre-related articles should adhere, and it was resolved within days of the disagreement. I try my best to handle any conflicts that arise very calmly and civilly, and that is how I plan on handling them in the future.

Additional questions from JoJo

4. What have you learned about admin work since last RFA? I really want to know about user names.

What I have really learned about admin work since July is that it is for a certain type of person, and is not for everyone. Adminship is a heavy responsibility bestowed by the community, and although I already knew this, seeing other admins at work (my former coach, Rlevse, and EyeSerene, Malinaccier, and Ryan) showed me that it can be rather stressful, and more importantly, it is a task you have to be not only dedicated to, but also enjoy doing frequently, and I do.

5. Do you think women have a different role on wiki. Do we need more women users and admins? How can we get more? —Preceding unsigned comment added by JoJo (talk • contribs) 19:09, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

That's a very interesting question! :-) Although it would be nice to have more fellow women here on the wiki, gender does not really matter to me. If I were the only female Wikipedian here, I would still be glad to have so many skilled users working by my side, regardless of gender.

11. Support. Excellent, thoughtful editor, will make a fine admin. Great contributions to XFD's, RFA's and other areas of Misplaced Pages as mentioned by the nominators. Dreadstar † 19:44, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
12. Amazing username = support - Just kidding, but amazing contribs = support so we'll go with that. iMatthew 20:09, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
13. Support. Seems like a good choice. I do see the concerns raised by A Nobody's oppose, but I am sure the candidate will not let AfD closes be influenced by such personal views or will mistakenly speedy delete stuff as cruft. On a side note, I'd suggest a shorter username. ;-) SoWhy 20:12, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

15. Support. bibliomaniac15 21:12, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
16. To be completely honest, I considered this user to already have administrative tools. On that basis, there is no pressing reason for me to oppose. Master&Expert (Talk) 21:13, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Weak oppose per Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Star Wars vs. Star Trek (use of WP:ITSCRUFT and WP:JNN non-arguments), Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Most Phallic Building contest (2nd nomination) (use of WP:PERNOM non-argument). Only a couple examples, so weak oppose, but still I have reservations whenever I see these used as to how much thought will be put into closes and if the closes will be good. --A Nobody 19:27, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

   For the first one, at least, the user at least supplied other reasoning: non-notable and wholly in universe. Erik the Red 2 ~~~~ 21:35, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
