RfA and not needing tools

Srose, let me begin by saying I'm not here to dispute your weak oppose of Stevie's RFA. I was curious, however, about a position I see frequently. RFA participants often say that someone shouldn't be made an admin b/c they don't need the tools, even though they won't abuse them, that all of the tasks they are working on can be accomplished without the bit. I've never understood it, though I may well have missed something. What's the rationale behind it? You can reply here. Thanks.--Kchase T 19:07, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Essentially, my rationale is that the community doesn't need to hand out tools to folks who are high quality contributors (much like Stevie - please see my excessively lengthy message on his talk page) when others who actually do admin-like jobs would like them and be more deserving of them. We already have too many admins that do not regularly use the tools. Adminship isn't an elevated status. Admins are merely a group of users who do extremely behind-the-scenes work: closing XfDs (see WP:AfD and its backlog - if it still has one; it changes by the hour), warning and blocking vandals (Wikipedia:Blocking policy), reverting vandalism (administrators have a tool to revert that is much faster than any of those available to non-admins), answering newcomers' questions, deleting non-controversial pages (see WP:CSD), protecting pages that are receiving high amounts of vandalism (like Elephant, after that infamous Colbert Report), and negotiating compromises for users in conflicts. As Stevie rarely does some of these things (and never does the rest), I just don't think he needs the mop and flamethrower. Adminship isn't a reward for particularly good editors: it's an added list of duties for those who have experience in admin areas (XfD, WP:3O, WP:MEDCAB, vandalism) and are trusted enough by the community to have the ability to block users, delete articles, close XfDs and protect articles. Srose (talk) 19:23, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • There's also JS-assisted non-admin rollback. I've been using it for a while now. Anyway, I should have been more specific, but I think it's just because we disagree. To me, it seems like an inefficient use of community time to evaluate a candidate and then not give them the tools because they will rarely use them, even though they will not abuse them. Perhaps the reason for such voting is more global: to discourage RFAs from good editors who don't need the tools and thereby encourage RFAs from folks who are more keen to help with our backlogs?--Kchase T 20:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
    • That last sentence is exactly it, boiled down to a drop. I guess I went on a bit long, huh? Well, in any case, I imagine Stevie's RfA will succeed, just looking at the pattern thus far, and I wish him all the best of luck. I would like to see more candidates who are intent on helping behind the scenes with backlogs, etc., because essentially, that's the entire difference between an admin and a regular, registered user. Srose (talk) 20:05, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
      • Yeah, I think Stevie's going to get the flamethrower. Thanks for the dialogue, Srose.--Kchase T 20:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
        • Ack, I was just about to add a PS, and it appears we edit-conflicted. Anyway, the PS was: I use JS rollbacks too, but the admin version compresses several of the steps, so it's faster and easier. Nice chatting with you, too. If you ever need anything, my door's open! :) Srose (talk) 20:13, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Yay!

Thanks for the brownies. Even though I'm on a "diet", I find that eating a picture of brownies on my computer screen doesn't add too many calories. :) Let me know if I can do any admin-ish thing for you! --Aguerriero (talk) 19:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks very much

Thank you very much for the comment as well as the explanation on the Calvary Church article. I am amazed at how quickly things get done on wikipedia! One question, does wikipedia have any kind of spell check feature (I know that I am going to need it). Thebigaster 22:13, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Bias

Why do you find a particular article nominated for deletion as an "excellent nomination...quite exemplary..."?

Do you like seeing articles being put up for deletion? I thought Wikipedia was supposed to be a place where people would add articles, not nominate everything in sight for deletion... Raccoon Fox • Talk • Stalk 21:25, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Because the nomination was well done and thought out. That doesn't mean she likes to see everything deleted. Yanksox 21:31, 22 August 2006 (UTC) ^Aww :)

Wow. I was just drafting my reply. I copied it and somehow lost it after my computer "illegal op'ed" following that edit conflict. Anyway, the gist of it was that I'm glad to see a nomination that says more than "Fails WP:BIO". I commended the nominator because s/he put a lot of time and effort into the nomination and didn't just stick it up there. Personally, I believe that since articles take an extraordinary amount of time and effort to write, anyone who wishes to nominate an article for deletion should put a great deal of effort into their nomination. Srose (talk) 21:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Lilli Promet

I've edited out the Lilli Promet link (it's still there, but encoded), because it doesn't link to the Lilli Promet profile on imdb. You linked to profile number 181237, which is a certain Rolando Cortegiani. Lilli Promet's link is 1818237. I'll fix it right away. Aecis ^{Appleknocker Flophouse} 21:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Questions

Hello Srose. I would normally post this on your editor review, but you seem to have closed it so I will ask you here. I know that Yanksox is your boyfriend, but what will you do if you break up with him? Will you both be able to continue a positive working relationship? I have seen some fights on Wikipedia that were influenced by events occuring away from Wikipedia. I just wanted to make sure that you will not have that problem. Thank you and have a nice day.--Chili14 00:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think my editor review is closed... it might have been taken off the main page but I don't plan to close it for quite some time. I'm very pleased with the feedback I've been getting.

First of all, let me thank you for taking the time to review me! :)

Next, I'll address your concern. Yanksox and I have been dating for over two years now and over that period of time, we've developed a very good friendship beneath a very strong romantic relationship. I imagine that in the very unlikely case that we do part ways, the friendship would hold firm. In any case, I certainly would not hold a grudge against him (and even if I did, I wouldn't vent it here). I would never let the quality of Wikipedia suffer from the termination of any of my various relationships (with family, friends, and of course, Yanksox himself). I might take a break for my personal benefit, but I would not resort to squabbling at Wikipedia: it would accomplish nothing (everything would be reverted), and this is a public venue rather than the private one I require for discussing private, personal matters. I try to keep my "real" life and my "Wiki" life as separate as possible, although certainly I always go to my Yanker of Oxen (ask Crzrussian) for advise or help in handling vandalism first. I hope this answers your question! Srose (talk) 02:03, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Bake away!

Bake away! I'll take my chances. I can get chips ahoy here in Indonesia. But seldom bother. On a diet now: no cookies. I have often used Wikipedia to get info about something, and have always found that the little bit of knowledge I did get was a lot better than the nothingness I knew before. I am pleased that Wikipedia exists - I've encouraged my English students to use it. I have been a Muslim for 10 years now, and am currently writing a book about Islam in Indonesia. I found some stuff in the Wikipedia pages that was useful and so ended up looking at more and more. But the more I read of the discussion pages, the more I began to wonder about how Wikipedia can exist with all of the differing views that people have about religion. Some of the content in the pages about Islam is enough to give me a headache. Some of it is quite surprising for me, and I wonder whether the authors really want to inform others, or just present their own personal opinions in opposition to mainstream views? I am still learning about the editing process, but after I get the hang of it, I may dive in and completely change some paragraphs to make them more user friendly. I have taught dozens of new Muslims and so (hopefully) I have a good idea of what people are looking for in terms of answers when they type in a word like “Islam” or “Koran”. Unfortunately, there is so much “scholarly” information on some of the pages that the whole process seems more to turn lay people away. A lot of it should be moved to specialist pages where people who want in depth views can get them. E.g. if a person wants to know about the Qur'an then they are not asking for a lesson in Arabic at the same time and shouldn’t be given one. If a person looks in an encyclopedia then they want brevity and clarity in the space of a few paragraphs. How can you deliver that when every guy with a keyboard seems intent on throwing in his two cents worth? I am interested to get involved for the sake of “knowledge” itself, but already I am starting to feel that the whole process of having to constantly check that what I contribute hasn’t been deleted by someone else of unknown religion will lead me to give up in despair. How do you cope with giving knowledge and then having others (perhaps far less knowledgeable) change what you wrote each week? Any suggestions? Or should I just give up now and stick to writing my own book? (Iqraboy 17:56, 25 August 2006 (UTC))

Could never get me down!

No really its true! Im just happy some people (such as the 6 that voted in favour and most of the neutrals) have said nice things :D. I guess i was almost testing the water and the fact that most people are opposing or going neutral based on my lack of time here means in the future if someone nominates me (I doubt I will self-nom again) I will get much more support. But for the polls are evil issue it may have been a no consensus rather than a fail. Thanks for your supportive words / offer and the same goe to you in return :D see you around --Errant Tmorton166^(Talk)(Review me) 21:54, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

younger wikipedians

Hi Sable (I'm going to call you by your real name, this username business is so stuffy :) ), I've been spending some time browsing through old WP:ANI pages, and came across quite a few discussions where older users have definite issues with younger Wikipedians. I personally agree with you, and that these younger users need mentoring and coaching on how to edit in a helpful manner (even if their contributions are slightly inappropriate, in which case they need even more intensive assistance). It might even be quite an educational experience for some of them, learning how to write in the encyclopedic style, do their own research, etc. Just to let you know that if you think something like this should be done, I would be more than happy to take part. Oh, and if you're online now, sorry if I don't reply quickly, I'm off to dinner in a sec :) Cheers, — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 10:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Right, I understand the concerns. Ta for informing me about that. Hopefully it will go somewhere, although I'm not sure whether we have a very strong case, considering all the nasty people out there on the net (and, dare I say it, possibly Wikipedia... who can really tell?) Well, thanks, and keep me posted if anything develops! — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 12:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I know, it's such a shame, considering Wikipedia is such a great educational tool – ignoring, for a second, IP addresses, edit wars and Dungeons and Dragons-cruft – and young people should have the right to feel safe and welcomed here. It would be nice to able to change older editors' perceptions about young Wikipedians, but it's so hard to teach an old dog new clichés :) Oh well, whatever it is won't happen in a day, so I guess we should just wait it out and see what the higher-ups think. — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 13:18, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

That would certainly solve a lot of problems – and not just on Wikipedia! :) — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 13:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

On a serious note, I admire some of the admins Vsmith, etc but when I read the Rfa statements by some people proposed it makes me cringe. To some of them they think it a PS2/3 game "Lets catch the vandals" where as to me it about the wikipedia info. Alot of them forget the amount of information and learning there is there, and without wanting to sound like a geek, it's one of the better things the t'interweb has been used for. They think it's all about having a pretty user page and having wiki mates. I dunno if I could do the fawning, creepingness the alot do to get there adminship, whereas I'm a tad blunt ;) I won't be up for mine for quite a long time yet, gimme another 10,000 edits.

Thank you for the nice comments and cookies.  :-) I took a look at the AWB again - when I first looked at this, admin rights were required but now you can apply to use it. So, I've applied.  :-) I'm also looking for the bot that you mentioned that would add tags to particular categories. This would be very helpfull in my projects. I did not know that such a request could be made and I was doing everything by hand. After understanding that I can accomplish these tasks without being an administrator, I'm glad that the nomination worked out the way it did. For the time, I'd rather be working on articles.

afd Brandon_Academy_Private_School

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Brandon_Academy_Private_School I have added a link to another article of this smart series. There is a wikipedia policy: Do not do edit in highly emotional state. That's smart too. User:Yy-bo 19:00, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Well i am sorry, it turns out this editor (see afd discussion) is not the creator of the school article. I have taken a look at WP:SCH, in these terms the article is rather substanceless. I do not really bother if it stays, just looking for the opinion of others. Nomination for afd does not result in immediate deletion. User:Yy-bo 19:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the article certainly fails WP:SCH. That's why I've voiced my opinion that it should be deleted. I know that the nomination doesn't result in an automatic deletion (I'm very active in WP:AFD as well as WP:MFD). This debate should last at least five days, and I believe the article will be deleted as non-notable. Have a good day! Srose (talk) 19:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

That person hasn't been here that long from what I have seen on his/her page. Is this user a troll? That's just wicked! If I had the power, I would wipe that comment out. Wow.... goes to show it takes all kinds. Give my best to Yanksox. JungleCat talk/contrib 23:48, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Mcginnly has made over 6000 edits and is working to a very high standard which is to be admired. The above comments are no doubt well meant, but nevertheless completely unwarranted and should be withdrawn unreservedly. Tyrenius 06:04, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

My response to this is here. Cheers! JungleCat talk/contrib 13:36, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
