Cowman109 2

Voice your opinion! (9/0/0) Ending 06:23, 2006-08-12 (UTC)

Cowman109 (talk · contribs) – I would like to nominate User:Cowman109. He has been with us since late October and has more than 3 thousand edits. He is best known as the former head and current coordinator of the Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal where he has done some excellent work in. He also fights copyvios [1] and vandalism [2], rewrites articles like Henry Ossawa Tanner and partipates in AFDs [3]. He had one prior RFA nomination in Mid-may Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Cowman109 in which he was opposed for inexperince and withdrew early but he is much more experinced now. I think Cowman109 would make an good admin. Jaranda wat's sup 04:03, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept. Cowman109Talk 06:25, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
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, 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: The area I'm most interested in is helping protections in WP:RFP, as I've seen times when the list is not looked at for several days and people are left without assistance. As I'm also usually involved in dispute resolution, proper use of page protection could stop an edit war in its tracks before it escalates further. I would also get involved in WP:AN3, as that area seems a bit undermanned. I would refrain from using sysop powers on disputants in a Medcab case I'm involved with, of course, as that would conflict with my neutrality.
I admit I don't forsee myself hunting out vandalism as much as other syops do, but of course I would deal with persistant vandals that I come across through my watchlist. As people often say, I would also lend a hand at the speedy deletion backlog when I have the chance. I sporadically participate in AFDs and RFDs as Jaranda stated above, more so on RFDs, though only on overlooked or borderline cases. As for AFDs I admit it's usually only ones that I've come across or if it's one I've proposed myself. :).
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: Well, in terms of contributions I'm pleased with, I recently found a chain of copyvio articles (which is pretty evident by my recent contribs) which I am still dealing with. Otherwise, generally my article contributions are usually spread between many articles instead of focusing on one in particular. I recently went on a sort of mini clean-up campaign to clear up Category:Cleanup from June 2005 with the help of the people in #Wikipedia-en, which was quite successful.
In terms of major edits, the majority of my article contributions are indirectly through discussion in talk pages or mediation cabal cases. Though, as Jaranda stated, I have made efforts beyond the mediation cabal for pages as well.
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: As I stated in my last RFA, I'm generally a laidback person and few things cause me stress, but when things do, I don't hesitate to take a break to put things back into perspective. As for getting into conflicts, well, that pretty much goes without saying. I'm usually the one trying to fix the conflict.

  2. Cabal support. --Keitei (talk) 06:36, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support The main concerns for opposes in Cowman's last RfA we're not enough mainspace work and lack of time here. Neither of these are reasonable causes to oppose at this point. He has helped at many articles making both major and minor changes. In some cases such as Henry Ossawa Tanner he has completely rewritten the articles. JoshuaZ 06:39, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
