Pgk

[{{fullurl:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Pgk|action=edit}} Vote here] (13/2/0) ending 7th/8th January 2006 at Midnight (UTC)

Pgk (talk · contribs) – I've never been good at starting these things. Well, to start the New Year, I thought that Pgk deserved to have the AdminPowersTM bestowed upon him. He certainly deserves them! Despite being just 3 WikiMonths old, he has amassed 7000 edits, plenty of which are to all namespaces. He tags speedies ([1]) already and is always bugging me for blocks and deletes on the Wikipedia-en-vandalism IRC channel (whose alternative bot, he coded in Python, incidentally). I have wanted to nominate this well-rounded and nice user for ages but since he would have failed with comments like "too little time", I thought that now would be the best time. --Celestianpower háblame 17:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Support

  1. Extreme "What he said" support --Celestianpower háblame 17:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Strong Support. FireFox 17:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Strong Support. I have a lot of trust in this user's judgement and his interpretation of policy. He has approached me many times with requests for a block or the speedy deletion of a page and I can't remember a time that I didn't agree with him about one of those requests. Of course, being an admin involves more than just blocking and deleting but based on these experiences I've had with him, I have no doubt he'll be a good, trustworthy admin. --JoanneB 19:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

  1. Oppose too little time freestylefrappe 01:21, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I have total respect for you more than I have for Pgk (because of our intereactions and what I got to know about you), but really they have done too much in too little time. Cheers -- Szvest 01:49, 1 January 2006 (UTC) Wiki me up&#153;[reply]
  2. Oppose While Pgk appears to be a tireless vandal fighter and I applaud that, I'm getting concerned about the vast number of recent elevations to admin for people who have only worked on the project for a few months and amassed a slew of edits because they are vandal fighting. I don't think edit counts are a good reflection of anything to be honest. I hope Pgk will take my vote in good spirit as I applaud the effort but I think this has just gone too far with folks who need to have some more time in before being given this kind of responsibility. --Wgfinley 02:27, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A. As a lot of my time has been spent fighting vandalism via RC Patrol, I would initially expect to continue to work around that area, so blocking and unblocking users, page protection (and semi-protection), fixing cut and paste moves and speedy deletions.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I'm probably most pleased with the contributions to RC Patrol, I've produced an alternative IRC bot to help with this and spent much time removing vandalism, tagging speedy deletes, copyvio's etc. It's also the area I am probably least pleased with since I signed up for an account with several articles/areas I was interested in, but end up getting largely sidetracked from that.
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?
A. I've not got into much in the way of conflict, generally I'm pretty laid back so don't let things get to me too much. Most things can be resolved through discussion and compromise.
