Enigmaman

Voice your opinion on this candidate (talk page) (16/0/0); Scheduled to end 07:28, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Nomination

Enigmaman (talk · contribs) – I respectfully request the community's consideration and if you agree with me, your personal support in my nomination of Enigmaman to the position of administrator.

Enigmaman has been a prolific and dedicated editor since February 19, 2007 - amassing a total of more than 25,700 edits over that 2 year and almost 5 month period. Indeed Enigmaman has edited without break on each and every month of his tenure with Misplaced Pages, and has done so with an obvious appetite and relish for the success of the project. He is hard-working, experienced and effecting in vandal fighting activities as well as the checking of sock-puppet accounts; he has made more than 600 valid reports at AIV; and over 200 requests for page protection. He also participates regularly at various administrator noticeboards. Enigmaman has accumulated almost 10,900 edits in the projects mainspace, including appropriate assistance and direct input so that the two articles Sid Luckman & Félix Houphouët-Boigny, did reach GA classification.

Enigmaman is a keen assistant to other editors, and is named within the ranks of highly active users on the eastern side of North America. He in fact appears to be available at least part of the day, for most days of the week and from that perspective he will be a willing and available administrator if so assigned.

I am of the strong view that Enigmaman is a loyal, dedicated and admirable member of the wikipedia community - who despite having made mistakes like most editors do from time to time (and from which he has learned) - is now very suitable and ready to be entrusted by the community with the mop.

I again respectfully request your consideration of this application and I ask, if you are willing, that you please add your comments in support below.--VS 07:28, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Thank you. I accept. Enigma 13:56, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Co Nomination I think VS coves the basics pretty well. My conom is to highlight that I've had a chance to work with Enigmaman quite a bit over the last several months and I've found him to be a conscientious, hard working, and capable editor. He has sound judgement, something necessary in a good administrator, and he really cares about the issues and challenges facing the project. In short he "gets it", has a "deft touch" and is "not likely to blow up the wiki". I would be grateful if you would give him your support. ++Lar: t/c 14:41, 8 June 2009 (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?
A: I intend to patrol WP:RFPP and WP:AIV, as well as occasionally contribute to WP:SPI.
2. What are your best contributions to Misplaced Pages, and why?
A: I primarily do maintenance work, so it's hard to pinpoint one or two particular contributions. I've helped maintain several lists, including WP:MISS, WP:AMDB, and WP:HAU. I did a lot of work with WP:AFC before the change in format last year. I'm proud of my work on Sid Luckman, and I helped Félix Houphouët-Boigny become a GA. I spent a lot of time proofreading and copyediting 1964 Gabon coup d'état, which also become a GA. Finally, I spent a few days editing Derrick Rose. While it did not earn a DYK or become a GA/FA, my focus is just to ensure that as many articles as possible are in a presentable state.
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: I do not recall any significant conflicts since my last request for adminship.
Questions from Rootology
4a. Would you please provide us with a list of all the account names you have ever used, or registered, on the English Misplaced Pages project, including any not in use currently?
A: User:Enigmaman, User:EnigmaBot.
4b. If there are some names you feel you cannot disclose, why not?
A: N/A
4c. If the reasons are privacy related, will you be willing to disclose them to the Arbitration Committee before the +sysop bit is activated on your account, should you pass?
A: N/A
5. Do you have any strongly held beliefs or affiliations, "In real life", and would you be willing to disclose those here? Would you be willing or able to permanently recuse from using your admin tools on those areas?
A: I have beliefs, as I'm sure everyone does, but they haven't interfered with my editing. I would recuse from such situations were they to present themselves in the future.
6. Are you engaged currently, or were previously, in any activities off-wiki which (under your "real name", or your online "handle") which, if made public, could potentially bring Misplaced Pages into disrepute?
A: Not that I'm aware of.
7. Are you over or under the age of majority?
A: Over. However, this is not something easily verifiable, with some exceptions.
8. What are your views on WP:BLP as it stands today? What works? What doesn't? If you had carte blanche to 'fix' the BLP problems your way, what would that be?
A:
9. What are your views on Flagged Revisions, keeping in mind that the beta trials for WP:BLP subjects after the numerous polls and surveys this year are coming to English Misplaced Pages in mid/late 2009?
A:
10. Are you going to be open to Administrative Recall? If so, why? If not, why?
A: No, unless some fundamental changes are made to the recall process. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the recall system is not currently enforceable. Thus, any pledge to be open to recall is essentially an empty campaign promise that doesn't really accomplish anything. If I am made an administrator, it will be because a significant portion of the RfA community trusts my judgment enough to allow me access to the tools. I would ask that the same people trust my judgment in knowing when it's time to step down as well.
11. Do you feel that admins should be subject to all policies, and the repercussions for possibly violating them, as if they were any other non-admin user?
A:
12. What has changed in you or with you since your previous two RFAs, to make previous opposers support now? (RFA #1, 84/32/2, RFA #2, 132/60/11)
A: Only previous opposers can answer that, really. They would have to reevaluate me and see if their concerns are now satisfied or not.
13. Chocolate, cake, beer, whiskey, drama--what is your poison?
A: Chocolate.

  13. Support Enigmaman definitely has the experience and temperament to handle the tools well, and he certainly could use them. 649 vandals reported and 238 requests for page protection? He will be a huge asset to the encyclopedia with the extra tools. Timmeh!(review me) 15:39, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
