(5/11/2) ending 19:26, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Larsinio (talk · contribs) – I have been a member since July 5th, 2005 with an average of 14.74 edits per day. I spend most of time in the Computer and video games project, helping out with admins Thunderbrand and Jacoplane. In CVG, i have been helping out choosing essential articles, creating useful stubs, re-categorizing items, and being a driving force on our weekly collaborations. I like creating useful templates, particularly series and infobox templates.

Me on Interiot's tool and

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Self-nomination, after consideration of advice Thunderbrand had given me.

Support

  1. Support, this is a great contributor. jacoplane 19:32, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  2. Support per nom. - Wezzo (talk) (ubx) 20:24, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  3. Support. Has shown great contribs. to the CVG proj. and passes my standards. Thunderbrand 02:11, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  4. Support per nom. Axiomm 03:34, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  5. Support. He looks good to Me. Even though He might not win on this nomination, I feel He deserves the promotion. -- Eddie, Monday March 13 2006 at 09:44
    This is NOT A GAME. People don't "win". NSLE (T+C) at 09:50 UTC (2006-03-13)

Oppose

  1. Oppose - Needs more experience with the Misplaced Pages namespace. Most of his contributions in this space have been related to the Wikiproject he mentions. Spend some more time looking at the administration side of things and the policy side of things and I will support you. Try again in a couple of months. -Localzuk 20:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  2. Oppose sloppy, and his answer to question 3 is incorrect. KI 21:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
    To be fair to larsinio, there is no right or wrong answers to the questions below, they are opinions questions. Moe ε 22:57, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
    What KI may have meant was that the information was wrong rather than the answer. Gizza 08:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  3. Oppose per Localzuk. Moe ε 22:57, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  4. Oppose prefer admins to have broad experience across all facets of the project.--Looper5920 23:38, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  5. Oppose. Lack of experience, apparent lack of policy knowledge (under 100 contributions to Misplaced Pages namespace, which I would consider short even if they had been to various different areas, which they haven't). You don't need to be an admin to welcome folks, so I'd encourage you to do that and try again in a month or two. Stifle 23:44, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  6. Oppose per above statements. --CFIF (talk to me) 00:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  7. Strongly oppose per above, and see new questions below. NSLE (T+C) at 01:11 UTC (2006-03-13)
  8. Weak Oppose. It isn't anything personal, but you're a bit too specialized; maybe move around a bit, and do some stuff on the rest of Misplaced Pages. But it's a good start! --M P 02:02, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  9. Oppose I really appreciate specialized content contributors, but you do need more wikispace experience to deal properly with difficulties that arise as an admin. Xoloz 05:44, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  10. Weak Oppose, would lean towards support if you come back with a bit more project space interraction under your belt. --kingboyk 07:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  11. Weak Oppose, your profilic contributions to CVG stuff is good. However, as an admin you need more Misplaced Pages space contributions. --Terence Ong 08:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  12. Oppose all of the tasks he anticipates doing (in the answers to questions below) can be accomplished without admin tools Cynical 11:01, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. Neutral. I'd like to see more project space participation. pschemp | talk 05:31, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  2. Neutral Per Pshchemp. Gizza 08:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments

  • As a follow-up comment, I would like to say that I have observed this user closely over the last few months. Although it is correct that he has been focused on a limited aspect of the project, as those opposing have pointed out, I feel it is my duty to point out that the work he has done within this admittedly limited scope has been excellent. I have seen few contributors that have been as devoted. Accusations of sloppyness fall on deaf ears in my case. If adminship is indeed no big deal, then I would hope that uninformed opposers would have better arguments than these superficial conclusions that they are apparently reaching simply by looking at the nominee's entry on Interiot's tool. I think I can personally vouch for the integrity and worthiness of this user. Larsinio should answer the additional questions posed by NSLE. However, I find it rather odd that NSLE would oppose and at the same time ask the nominee to answer additional questions. The least you could to is await his answers, or abstain from asking them in the first place. jacoplane 02:19, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Misplaced Pages 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:Misplaced Pages backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
I'm interested in dealing with Requests for Protection and AFD. I would also like to help welcoming users, particularly by aseembling a ready-to use toolbox page that would be somewaht similar to my own, but with added information. That initial welcoming was really, well, welcome when I had joined, it seemed like somobody actually cared, and it is this care and good faith is what the wikipedia community is all about.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
I have done a number of complete video game serie, particularly Konami titles such as Gradius, Metal Slug, and Contra. But the article I'm most particularly proud of is Beer Pong, an article I saw was in such bad shape that I just re-wrote the whole thing from essentially scratch; I even created some diagrams to help out. This re-write got more people excited about the article, particularly Rethcir, who I have been coordinating tgasks in order to have this article become featured eventually. I am pleased with almost all of my contributions essentially, because once I created two or three, I really got the hang of it and it became enjoyable.
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?
Vandalism gives me a lot of stress on article I monitor, particularly newbie. But this is mostly from anonymous users. In the beginning of my wiki journey, I had conflict over Umbrella Corporation over the use of of a lengthy amount of history that was there. It was unsourced, but I was new and naive at the time thinking that even a large amount of unsourced information was better than none. Today I realize that keeping the wikipedia free of possible copy-vio'd content is essential to its mission and its future. About a month ago I got in a little bit of a quibble with User:EllG73 who had deleted some comments on his user page, including oneI had just left him. I looked this i up in the policy and saw that it was vandalism. I reverted that, and had left him additional comments saying that It was considered vandalism and told him where to look it up. He then started saying that I was harassing him. I got third party interevention and the advice that was given was somethign that I will takewith me from now on; that users any users, whether breaking policy or not, should be dealt with calmly and if its clear a message is not getting through, just have someone else help out. Being a lone gunman to resolve a matter will many a tims not work because users may only choose to ignore one person, but they wont ignore several people regarding policy infractions.

Questions from NSLE:
The following are hypothetical situations you might find yourself in. I'd like to know how you'd react, as this may sway my vote. There is no need to answer these questions if you don't feel like it, that's fine with me, (especially if I've already supported you ;)).

  1. You find out that an editor, who's well-known and liked in the community, has been using sockpuppets abusively. What would you do?
  2. While speedying articles/clearing a backlog at CAT:CSD, you come across an article that many users agree is patent nonsense. A small minority, of, say, three or four disagree. Upon looking the article over, you side with the minority and feel that the article is salvagable. Another admin then speedies it while you are making your decision. What would you do?
  3. You speedy a few articles. An anon keeps recreating them, and you re-speedy them. After dropping a note on their talk page, they vandalise your user page and make incivil comments. You realise they've been blocked before. What would you do? Would you block them, or respect that you have a conflict of interest?
  4. An editor asks you to mediate in a dispute that has gone from being a content dispute to an edit war (but not necessarily a revert war), with hostile language in edit summaries (that are not personal attacks). One involved party welcomes the involvement of an admin, but the other seems to ignore you. They have both rejected WP:RFC as they do not think it would solve anything. Just as you are about to approach the user ignoring you, another admin blocks them both for edit warring and sends the case to WP:RFAR as a third party. Would you respect the other admin's decisions, or would you continue to engage in conversation (over email or IRC) and submit a comment/statement to the RFAR? Let's say the ArbCom rejects the case. What would you do then?
