Ryulong

Voice your opinion (17/0/0); Scheduled to end 06:16, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Ryulong (talk · contribs) – Ladies and Gentlemen, I offer you Ryulong. Ryulong has over 40,000 edits, of which, 20,000 are in the mainspace. Ryulong, would make the perfect sysop, and not for these reasoning of edits alone! Ryulong has had (2) prior RfA's, the latest of which he withdrew himself to fix issues which had come up so that he could assure the community he would be a better sysop ( 1 , 2 ). Of which he has made the better of, and improved vastly upon. He has assisted users, while still remaining a stern threat against vandals. ( 1 , 2 ). There is not a day where he is not requesting an admin assist him with a CSD, Vandal, or other issue which requires a mop. Ryulong, has also contributed greatly to Super Sentai,City of Heroes, and getting {{okina}} visible for IE users. All of the listed contributions are just a VERY small sample of the countless contributions he has made. I would trust Ryulong with the sysop tools, and for the above reasons you should too!

Co-nomination from MichaelBillington (talk · contribs)
Ryulong is one of the most active users on Wikipedia. Since he joined almost a year ago (6 Feb 2006), he has clocked up a monumental 40,200 edits, all well spread across the different namespaces. He is a very active vandal fighter, having reverted countless instances of non-constructive edits, and warned accordingly. To give you an idea of how much Wikipedia could benefit from Ryulong having the sysop flag, he has over 3,000 edits to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism - imagine how much faster stopping those users would be if we a Ryulong with a sysop flag. (He has managed to create a backlog on that page several times) He doesn't just revert vandalism either, he has also been active in writing & cleaning up articles in areas such as Pokémon and Power Rangers, among others. He previously withdrew an RfA back in October of '06, and failed one in August of the same year. I believe Ryulong has the experience needed to carry out administrative duties, and that Wikipedia will benefit greatly from him being a sysop.

Co-co-nomination from Keitei

In addition to a browser-crashing edit count, Ryulong is familiar with policy and practice. He is active in article editing as well as fighting vandalism. He has recently begun Wikipedia:WikiProject Tokusatsu, generated a mascot with a free license (experience with freeing images +++), and cleaned up several related articles. I hear he is very active on WP:AIV and he spams IRC all the time with admin requests. He is helpful with newcomers and leeching oldtimers alike and is courteous with every request. I have always known him to be not just civil, but respectful of even the maddest contributors. Giving him +sysop would not only make a lot of sysops' lives easier, but would be a benefit to all of Wikipedia as well. Besides, anyone who likes Totally Spies is alright with me. --Keitei (talk) 06:40, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:I accept—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 07:18, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My statement on prior requests

Of the many points brought up in my past requests for adminship, was my tendency to bite new users while on recent changes patrolling. I have been curtailing this aspect of my Wikipedia edits by working on articles and assuming good faith for some newbie or IP edits. I have also (occasionally) helped out on the Wikipedia IRC help channel (#wikipedia-bootcamp) by responding to requests at {{helpme}} or to users who show up in the channel, a channel I may continue to frequent.

Another issue that is brought up is my zealousness to dealing with some editors, particularly when I deal with either malformed, vandalous, or incomplete requests in CAT:RFU. If I see "WTF? I'm not blocked!" and there's no block log, I tell the user to utilize the autoblock template. If I see a blank one, I <nowiki> it and help the user complete it. If I see, "[Insert admin] is a [insert profanity]" I revert and/or decline it, all of which I do to help the project.

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog and Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: I would continue assisting in dealing with the various levels of vandalism that have been hitting Wikipedia as of late, which has primarily been dealing with sockpuppets of banned users as well as the shock image vandalism (which has somewhat been made moot with the new cascading protection). I was even subject to an emergency sysopping at the Commons due to the use there to vandalize Wikipedia. I will also assist in the various XfD logs and constant backlogs such as CAT:CSD, CAT:RFU, and the (recent [to the best of my knowledge]) massive backlogs of images that lack a source, licensing, fair use rationale, orphaned, etc.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I am particularly pleased with my work to keep two of the newest articles I work with, Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive and Juuken Sentai Gekiranger both free of unsourced speculation and filled with references, be it to images, actors' blogs, actors' profiles at talent agencies, etc., so that some day, these articles could be considered good, or even featured. As Somitho and Keitei state, I have been primarily working with the Super Sentai, City of Heroes, and Tokusatsu so that they are also improved from their prior states. Also stated by Somitho, I was the individual who helped make Template:Okina visible on those who use Internet Explorer, which is currently being used on the main page for the Selected Anniversary on Queen Liliʻuokalani. I have also been expanding 30 Sentai Encyclopedia to a great degree with various other editors as to keep track of the clip show that commemorates Super Sentai. In this process I try to understand what is going on in the Japanese clips, try to get as much of the original Japanese to incorporate as text in the article, and figure out what song is playing in the background (a part of the article added by another editor that I have continued to work on).
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 have been in some conflicts over editing in the past. When this usually happens, I distance myself from the project, and just surf the internet or chat with friends. This is how I would continue to deal with such stresses that come from being entrenched in a certain part of the project.
