Henrygb

Vote here (2/1/1) ending 06:26 4 February 2005 (UTC)

Henrygb has been a Wikipedian for more than a year. He has contributed thousands of edits to a variety of articles, and gets along well with other editors. Someone I consider a solid contributor. Wile E. Heresiarch 06:26, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I am honoured by the nomination and accept it. However it was not sought and not something I am particularly concerned about.--Henrygb 12:23, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Second Silsor's comments (below). I won't vote support for people lacking user pages. User:Anárion/sig 08:04, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. No user page, rare/uninformative edit summaries. silsor 07:56, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)
  2. not having a userpage says nothing. I will change to support once Henrygb accepts the nomination and answers the questions below. dab (ᛏ) 11:28, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Comments

  • First edit at 13:25, November 14 2003. 3719 edits, ~90% to article space. Leaves edit summaries on about one in ten edits. Got involved in the naming wars (Danzig/Gdansk etc). Mostly does the same kinds of edits that I said I did when I was made admin (dab, minor additions, and so on). Has no user page, which is a bit unusual. —Ben Brockert (42) 06:40, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)

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 read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A The two admin powers I would have found useful in the past were quick reverts and the ability to remove the history on minimal history redirects so other pages could be moved there. So I would probably look more at Wikipedia:Requested moves.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A No - I love them all.
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 will deal with it in the future?
A. As Brockert says, I had a minor battle in July 2004 with ex-User:PolishPoliticians over whether Danzig should redirect to Gdansk, and whether Gdansk should mention Danzig in the first lines. Since he and his re-incarnations stopped posting, I have not been involved, as I am happy with the outcome. The potentially similar situation at Derry and County Londonderry was settled in a rather more satisfactory manner.
