===[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Lourdes 2|Lourdes]]===
'''Final: (207/3/1) - Closed as successful by [[User:Acalamari|Acalamari]] at 02:50, 26 February 2018 (UTC)'''

====Nomination====
{{User|Lourdes}}&nbsp;– I have had my eye on Lourdes becoming an administrator for some time. She has an impressive number of mainspace contributions, including [[Van Diemen's Land v Port Phillip, 1851]], [[William Walker (Australian cricketer)]] and [[Cottalango Leon]]. She has a good track record in AfD and CSD; even when consensus doesn't go her way such as [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zaid Ali (2nd nomination)]], she is civil and respectful to the other participants in the debate (not to mention putting forward the strongest argument, IMHO). She regularly participates in noticeboard discussions, helping to calm down tempers and diffuse difficult situations. In particular, I see her a lot on the [[WP:Help desk|Help desk]], fielding questions from new and experienced users alike.

As you can see, this is Lourdes' second RfA. Since the first one, around a year ago, she has reached out to those who have opposed, gathered constructive feedback, and greatly improved her temperament and communication skills as a result. I was particularly impressed by her comments at [[Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Joe Roe]], where her thoughts on conduct of administrators drew high praise from a number of established editors. If she's getting that sort of feedback, there's no real reason she shouldn't have the admin toolset. I hope you agree. [[User:Ritchie333|<b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b>]] [[User talk:Ritchie333|<sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Ritchie333|<sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)</sup>]] 13:31, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

;Co-nomination by [[User:SoWhy|SoWhy]]
When Lourdes ran for adminship the first time, almost exactly a year ago, I was torn. Here was an editor who within a short time had made so many good edits that had she run a decade earlier (when people like me became admins), she would have passed with flying colors. On the other hand, some of the opposers raised good points, mainly about her interactions with other editors and approach to policy. Before I could make up my mind, the RFA was already closed.

In the year since them Lourdes has improved her communication skills and approach to collaboration significantly and a check of her contributions in the meantime did not raise any red flags. As Ritchie already pointed out, she demonstrates a wealth of knowledge of policy as well as skills as a writer that far surpass my own, including an FA that appeared as TFA on the Main Page. In her answers to the standard questions below, you can find more examples of both her skills as an editor and the kind of approach and insight we should expect from all of our admins. So, without further ado, I hope you can agree with Ritchie and me that Lourdes has matured into the kind of editor who would make a great admin and can lend your support to this candidacy. Regards '''[[User:SoWhy|<span style="color:#7A2F2F">S<small>O</small></span>]][[User talk:SoWhy|<span style="color:#474F84">W<small>HY</small></span>]]''' 17:52, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

:''Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:''
::I thank my nominators for their gracious nominations and humbly accept the same. I hope I'm able to learn as much as they have in the years to come. I also sincerely thank the community in advance for taking the time to review this RfA. <small>(I have two alternative accounts: [[User:LourdesBot|LourdesBot]]<sup><small>([[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/LourdesBot|approval]])</small></sup> and [[User:❤️|❤️]]<sup><small>([[User:Lourdes/Alternative|usage policy]])</small></sup> Briefly, I was also [[User:Wìkìpe-tan]] at [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Wikipe-tan]].

::*My (!)vote of thanks: Dear friends and fellow editors, because I may be traveling when this RfA might be closed and might not be able to respond individually to any messages left on my talk page or other forums, I thought of leaving this sincere vote of thanks to all those who commented in this RfA, whether queriers, supporters, opposers, general commenters, or talk page respondents. I realize that to question or assess a candidate and to comment in any manner, you’ve invested a significant part of your valuable time – I am sincerely thankful to all of you for that and feel honestly humbled that you’ve taken time out of your lives to provide me your views and feedback. I never expected this, but this RfA has left me a significantly more knowledgeable person due to the research I had had to undertake to answer a few queries, like #4 by {{u|Smallbones}}, #11 by {{u|Ivanvector}}, specially #14 by {{u|Coffee}}. When {{u|I am One of Many}} !voted support, it felt surreal – I guess the first !vote always does that. And when the others came in, it felt more surreal, as I never expected this swell of support. While I’ve clicked the thanks button for many supporters and commenters, for those whose names I may have missed out, please consider this my heartfelt thanks. {{u|TonyBallioni}}, {{u|Dial911}}, {{u|There'sNoTime|TNT}}, {{u|Amorymeltzer|Amory}}, you have no idea how comforting your notes of support on my talk page and your !votes were.

:::A special mention to {{u|Kudpung}}, {{u|Ad Orientem}}, {{u|78.26}},  {{u|Dlohcierekim}}, {{u|Kurtis}}, {{u|Chetsford}},  {{u|Beeblebrox}}, {{u|Davey2010}}, {{u|Rpclod}}, {{u|Noyster}}, {{u|Nick}}, {{u|Linguist111}}, {{u|Jetstreamer}}, {{u|Tony the Marine}}, {{u|Nick Moyes}}, {{u|Cullen328}}, {{u|Pagliaccious}}, {{u|TParis}}, {{u|K.e.coffman}}, {{u|J947}} <small>(I remember… thank you once again)</small>, {{u|SMcCandlish}}, {{u|Bellezzasolo}}, {{u|HandsomeBoy}} – and to all the others whose names I’ve missed – for their very thoughtful comments. Your words will remain for long in my heart. To my dearest friends and guides {{u|NinjaRobotPirate}}, {{u|Gerda Arendt}} and {{u|Serial Number 54129}}, you made my day. To dearest {{u|Oshwah}}, [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?diff=764468188&oldid=764468079&title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Lourdes I will still hate you forever ❤️.]

:::How can I forget {{u|Tryptofish}}, who !voted in support despite my once saying that the anagram of his name was [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?diff=773497502&oldid=773395118&title=User:Xaosflux/Requests_for_adminship/Wikipe-tan Shitpotfry], and {{u|Xaosflux}}, who ensured that I already had had an [[User:Xaosflux/Requests for adminship/Wikipe-tan|experience of handling the fame that comes with an RfA]].

:::To conclude, the biggest of thanks I have reserved for my two most outstanding nominators {{u|Ritchie333}}, {{u|SoWhy}}, and for {{u|WereSpielChequers}} – these are my mentors who have have been as patient with me as I could have imagined, providing me advice before the RfA and supporting me to the best extent possible. There are no words to thank you all and I hope other editors across Wikipedia also have the invaluable benefit of being guided, mentored and nominated by you. It would be years before I end up contributing anything close to where you are now. Thank you, all the three of you, and my love always for you. This is '''[[User talk:Lourdes|<span style="color:black"><small>Lourdes</small></span>]]''', signing off for now. Cheers and best wishes!

====Questions for the candidate====
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:
:'''1.''' What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
::'''A:''' During my tenure here, I have gained a fair amount of experience in the [[WP:AfD|AfD]], [[WP:CSD|CSD]], [[WP:UAA|Usernames for administrator attention]], [[WP:AIV|Administrator intervention against vandalism]] and [[WP:RFPP|Requests for page protection]] areas. If this request is accepted by the community, I expect to take part significantly in these areas. Having said that, I do expect myself to not jump headlong into all of these together. I would rather start with limited admin actions and focus on learning. To prioritize, I'll start at the AfD and CSD desks where I would see and learn from the regulars, and subsequently move on to the other mentioned areas once I'm comfortable.

:'''2.''' What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
::'''A:''' I have contributed to Wikipedia in various areas and some of these are very close to my heart as a result of the knowledge and experience I have gained while collaborating with other editors.

::In the mainspace area, amongst 34 articles (listed at [[User:Lourdes]]), my best contribution is [[Van Diemen's Land v Port Phillip, 1851]], a [[WP:FA|featured article]] that appeared on Wikipedia's main page on [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 11, 2018|11 February 2018]] – purely due to the wonderful collaboration I have had with one of the FAC coordinators. I also have two [[WP:FL|featured lists]] (of which one appeared on the main page on [[Wikipedia:Today's featured list/May 1, 2017|1 May 2017]]), three [[WP:GA|good articles]] and seven [[WP:DYK|DYK]]s; I'm fortunate to have had the opportunity to work upon these with other editors. In this list, I also include a few articles that I saved from the deletion desk by re-writing them (e.g. [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lisa Douglas|1]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Akhtar Khan|2]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kavijanasrayam|3]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Presidium of the Bundesrat|4]], amongst others).

::I have written seven [[WP:US/L|user scripts]] (listed at [[User:Lourdes]]), including the [[User:Lourdes/PageCuration|Page Curation script]], which is now used by quite a few editors. I count that too amongst my best contributions.

::Apart from these, I have been a significant contributor at the [[WP:Help desk|Help desk]] throughout my time here at Wikipedia, answering queries and helping editors to the best of my knowledge. For example, when a user [[Special:Permalink/812518775#How_to_create_backlinks|requested a solution]] to find out possible backlinks to articles, I created [[User:Lourdes/Backlinks]] as a solution. When another user complained that [[Special:Permalink/804539201|Wikipedia:Credible claim of significance]] made no sense, I wrote up [[Special:Permalink/812766433#What_does_a_credible_claim_of_importance_mean?|this response]] and spruced up the [[Wikipedia:Credible claim of significance|original page]] too. With committed intent, I cherish my Help desk contributions because of the invaluable opportunities I've gained to interact with and assist both newbie and established editors and resolving their editing issues.

:'''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:''' Yes, I have been in conflicts in the past. Over the time I've spent here, I've learnt better to deal with such situations and the editors involved. Instead of responding with the same tone to editors who may have, for example, either [[User talk:Lourdes#Sorry|called me names]] or have become [[User talk:Lourdes/Archive 1#Fallon fox edit|hot]]-[[User talk:Lourdes#mind your words|tempered]], I've extended an olive branch, offering them my guidance if they required it. In article talk pages (for example, at [[Talk:Swati Chaturvedi|Swati Chaturvedi]] or at [[Talk:Kavijanasrayam|Kavijanasrayam]]), I've handled potentially disruptive discussions with policy/guideline-based arguments. When established editors have disagreed with my edits (for example at [[Talk:Telaga#Deletion of caste status discussion|Telaga]]), I've taken the effort to understand their points of view and worked towards collaborative and consensus-based edits.

::Perhaps the most significant example of how I have handled criticism can be seen at my [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Lourdes|earlier RfA]]. While my [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?diff=764467604&oldid=764465902&title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Lourdes withdrawal statement] at the said RfA consolidates my proactive orientation towards the critical feedback, even post that, I have worked hard towards attempting to improve upon the areas that editors had pointed out. From ensuring that the tone of my interactions softens considerably towards RfA nominees, to ensuring intelligent and worthwhile Afd contributions, to handling vandalistic edits with a combination of policy and common sense, I have also individually reached out to the key opposing editors to get their renewed feedback.

::No editor has till date personally attacked me – so I don't know how that feels. But going forward, I believe that the ability to listen to logical criticism – whether during conflict or away from it – and act on it is key to self-improvement, and I would hope that I continue doing that.

;Additional question from [[User:Smallbones|Smallbones]]
:'''4.''' First thanks for answering whether you've ever edited for pay without even being asked! You are the first admin candidate since the addition to [[WP:Admin]] of "Candidates are also required to disclose whether they have ever edited for pay." You've met the requirement, but could you give a more general comment about your attitude toward paid editing and how you'll deal with paid editing as an admin?  Thanks again, [[User:Smallbones|Smallbones]]<sub>([[User talk:Smallbones|<span style="color: #cc6600;">smalltalk</span>]])</sub> 03:57, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
::'''A:''' Hello Smallbones. Thanks for your question. I am against undisclosed paid-editing, or disclosed paid editing that does not adhere to our editing policies and guidelines. Such editing has the egregious potential of shifting the focus of articles from being encyclopedic to being promotional or to having conflicted content; as a recent Arbcom case witnessed, such editing may also promote points of view within various forums that serve the purpose of only the paid-editors or of those whom they work for, and I'm against all of this.

::I do understand that there are a few areas (e.g. [[WP:GLAM|GLAM]]) where contributions are made in good faith. However, I believe that even editors who may be teaching or working at GLAM organizations should necessarily disclose their associations in case they are paid for their contributions. Without such disclosures, the community would not be able to review the contributions in the right perspective.

::Having said that, in all of this, I also understand the need to exercise restraint and caution as no investigative process should end up demotivating the majority of our editors, who are unpaid volunteers; and in my broad understanding, it’s critically important that we do not push such good-faith editors for unnecessary disclosures in our eagerness to get paid-editing disclosed.

::My response to paid-editing as an administrator would run mostly similar to how I’ve handled it whenever I’ve come across such editors in the past. I would advise paid editors to adhere to the requirements of our [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure|paid editing policy]] and our [[WP:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest guideline]]; and in cases where the editor falls short and disrupts the project, to report such cases at relevant desks to get more eyes on the issue and to take restrictive action as may be feasible, depending on each case.

;Additional question from [[User:Everymorning|Everymorning]]
:'''5.''' How have you improved as an editor since your last RFA beyond having become more experienced? Some of the opposes at your first RFA were just because they didn't think you had enough experience, but I'm asking about other concerns expressed by oppose voters there, like {{u|Sergecross73}}. He wrote the following about you in his oppose !vote: "...I've kind of been rubbed the wrong way with some of their interactions. A few editors in the past, myself included, have expressed concerns with their badgering of people at WP:RFA." Similarly, {{u|Softlavender}} accused you of "adopting a superior and patronizing tone with admins and more experienced editors". I want to know how you have improved to address these concerns. (Sorry this question is so long.)
::'''A:''' Hello Everymorning. I understand the perspective of your query. Both Serge and Softlavender brought out quite relevant issues in my previous Rfa. Serge and Softlavender’s opposes, apart from similar ones of other editors, provided me insights into where I had gone wrong in my past interactions. Communication, respect, civility and ability to understand criticism and improve thereon are critical to a productive and collaborative environment. For administrators, to be a benchmark in these is non-negotiable, and in the months leading to my previous RfA, I clearly wasn’t.

::While my responses to query #3 would provide you insights into how I’ve hopefully improved in handling criticism and in my interactions with other editors, whether tendentious or established, let me also share a part of a communication that I had recently with one of the opposers of my last Rfa; my communication to them consolidates much of my thought on what happened then and how I view it now.

::''Hello, Hope all is well. As you had suggested, I've taken a deep and long look at Ferret's Rfa and my interactions there.  Maybe it's because of the experience I've had in the past year, or perhaps it's because of my taking a re-look from a perspective of a neutral observer (I mean, I've tried to look at the Rfa as would a person not involved with the Rfa), I have to say that I'm a bit embarrassed about how I've proceeded in that particular Rfa. Putting myself in Ferret's shoes, (and I think I realize this more after my own failed Rfa), I would feel quite disappointed that an editor can ask pushy questions like I did, and not wait for comprehensive replies before jumping onto the oppose segment, and then push more for replies to multiple questions. Time teaches us various things I guess – and one thing I've learnt is that it takes little effort to criticize fellow editors, and quite some maturity to understand the effort that fellow editors – like Ferret – are taking to improve the project and make it a better place for readers. With respect to how I'd handle it now, I think my Rfa interactions with nominees over the past year can provide significant evidence of how I've changed from a person "trying to find out what's wrong with the nominee" to an editor who tries to find out what all proactive efforts the editor has taken to support the project. Since the Ferret incident, and since my Rfa, from a critic out to prove (some silly) point, I believe I've changed to defending nominations of positively oriented candidates. An example could be Joe Roe's Rfa, where there was opposition to his Afd participation. I defended Joe's actions, explaining why it's human to err, and nothing more than that should be made of it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship/Joe_Roe#Responses_to_MPS1992's_oppose). I can imagine – or rather, perhaps I don't want to recall – how I would have responded if Joe's Rfa had been two years ago.  Similar is how I've participated in other Rfas in the past year, questioning questionable oppose !votes and going the extra mile in supporting credible candidates. If Ferret's Rfa were happening now, I would be one of the first supporters. Like I said, I think the more interactions one has over the years, the more stable one's responses become within the cultural context of Wikipedia.  I hope what I've written makes some sense :) If there's anything else you would wish me to take a re-look at, please do share. Have a good time in your travels.  Warmly,  Lourdes…''

::Everymorning, I hope this provides the context you were looking for in your query. If not, please feel free to ask further.

:'''6.''' Are you regularly doing any "admin-ish" activity?  Non-admin closures; clerking for any processes that use clerks; responsible use of advanced bits like template-editor, page-mover; etc.  What stands out as work you're proud of, and how have you resolved any criticisms?

;Additional question from [[User:Amorymeltzer|Amorymeltzer]]
:'''7.''' What are your thoughts on Administrator Recall?  Is it necessary given our other procedures?  Do you intend to take part?
::'''A:''' To be honest, I have not given any thoughts on administrator recall. I have witnessed some cases of administrative overreach. In most of these cases, to my understanding, the community seemed successful in engaging with the administrator involved and effecting a course correction. In extreme cases, the arbitration committee has taken the bit away, or the administrator has resigned the bit before the final decision. So I’m ambivalent on the need to have an admin recall procedure. However, if the community in the future makes the same mandatory, I’m okay with it.

;Additional question from [[User:Linguist111|Linguist111]]
:'''8.''' Suppose, right now, an IP adds an unreferenced list of supposed new [[Asia's Next Top Model]] contestants to [[Asia's Next Top Model#Cycles|this table]], in the box where it says "TBA" in the section "Other contestants in order of elimination" (this has actually happened multiple times before, [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Asia%27s_Next_Top_Model&type=revision&diff=821453631&oldid=821372245#Cycles here] for example). I, knowing that the sixth season (or "cycle" as it is called) of Asia' Next Top Model has not started airing yet and the list of contestants has not been printed in any reliable sources and cannot be verified in any way, revert this, saying it is unreferenced or original research (as I have done a number of times in the past, e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Asia%27s_Next_Top_Model&type=revision&diff=824933745&oldid=824911841 here], [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Asia%27s_Next_Top_Model&diff=next&oldid=814507026 here], [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Asia%27s_Next_Top_Model&type=revision&diff=812725440&oldid=812663193 and here in the "Contestants per country" section]) and welcome the IP with {{tl|welcome-anon-unsourced}} on their talk page. Without any discussion, the IP puts the list back in and I revert, leaving {{tl|uw-unsourced2}} or {{tl|uw-nor2}} on their talk page. This happens again and I give them a level 3 warning, after which they revert a third time. Now, if I revert again, it will be my fourth revert, but if not, the unverifiable material remains in the article. What action do you think would be appropriate for me to take now, and why?
::'''A:''' If you're sure that there are no reliable sources supporting the addition of names by the IP, then such material would go against our BLP policy. In that light, give a level 4 warning to the IP, revert the addition, report the issue at [[WP:BLPN]] or [[WP:ANI]] mentioning that you crossed 3RR in the light of BLP violations, and request more eyes from experienced editors and administrators who frequent the BLP/AN noticeboard to review the situation.

;Additional question from [[User:GeneralizationsAreBad|GeneralizationsAreBad]]
:'''9.''' How would you respond to [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=826501315 this] AIV report? 
::'''A:''' The OP Mvcg66b3r had a couple of hours earlier {{diff4|826488596|old=826487261|added}} a report about the same user [[User:Chrome2005|Chrome2005]]. It was perhaps mistakenly {{diff4|826491131|old=826491682|removed}} by another editor (I dream of horses) as a stale report, leading to the OP re-adding the report you link above. A quick look at the history of the articles shows immediate, matching multiple ducks in the form of [[User:Chrome 313|Chrome 313]] and [[User:Chrome 313 2|Chrome 313 2]]. A rudimentary seat-of-the-pants review of the editing behavior of these accounts shows a matching standard pillar-box HD/SD vandal, whose edits match multiple editors like [[User:WALL-EPixarSpongebobfansic2008|WALL-EPixarSpongebobfansic2008]], [[User:WALL-EPixarSpongebob|WALL-EPixarSpongebob]], [[User:Spongebobfan1997|Spongebobfan1997]] and multiple IPs, with the probable master being [[User:Tazlinc1|Tazlinc1]].

;Additional question from [[User:Ivanvector|Ivanvector]]
:The following two questions are based on this scenario: Three users are engaged in an edit war on an article subject to Arbcom discretionary sanctions. All three editors want to change the stable content but have different points of view. You have full-protected the article for 3 days, and a discussion between the editors has been progressing productively. It is the second day of protection.
:'''11a.''' While the three editors are politely discussing the matter, you notice that a map image in the article has changed. Clicking through the map to Commons, you discover that the three are now revert-warring over different versions of the map, causing it to change rapidly and not match the protected caption in the enwiki article, and you also discover that the three are now edit-warring in other articles linked from the protected article. What can you do?
::'''A.''' Ivan, to the best of my memory, I've never had experience with any articles under discretionary sanctions. So I'm afraid that due to my lack of experience in this area, my response may come out to be sub-optimal or plain wrong – but I'll try surely (my apologies in advance if the answer is plain wrong). The ultimate objective of any resolution process is to reduce disruption to the project, while encouraging collaborative editing. Knowing that the editors have been politely discussing, there may have been potential for them to be advised informally. But given that the three have extended their edit-warring to the commons image and to other articles (I understand that these articles too possibly belong to the same discretionary sanctions area), assuming that the three editors have not been aware of or procedurally notified of this in the preceding 12 months, I'll proceed to formally make them aware of the existing discretionary sanctions; and at the same time advising them to stop edit-warring on articles broadly and reasonably construed to be coming under the said discretionary sanctions; as well as to stop warring on the commons image, which defeats the purpose of the page protection and is almost equivalent to gaming the system. I expect that given their polite demeanor, things should proceed to normal. If they don't, and the warring continues, in my inexperienced opinion, specific 1RR restrictions may be placed on the specific warring editors, explaining clearly through formal sanctioning templates about why the same have been placed and informing them of the scalable consequences of not adhering to the restrictions, while noting the same in the arbcom log. If things still remain downhill with the warring, progressively increasing blocks can be placed on the specific warring editors to ensure the project is not disrupted. I don't know if I got this whole procedure right, but hope it makes sense.

:'''11b.''' Two of the editors have come to an agreement, while the third opposes but has been blocked for a week by another admin due to an unrelated incident. Should you lift the protection?
::'''A.''' In the spirit of productive collaboration, perhaps yes; but ensuring that I've followed the above mentioned procedure of informing the editors of the existence of discretionary sanctions and advising them to exercise judicious restraint. I know there's no need to hurry on Wikipedia, but in my opinion, there's no need to restrict the good-faith consensus-based editing of any editor just to wait for another editor to get unblocked. I was wondering if my answer would change if two out of the three editors had been blocked for a week and only one was there to edit. I would have still lifted the protection, following the points mentioned previously.

;Additional question from [[User:Tigraan|Tigraan]]
:'''12.''' <small>(For the purpose of this question, assume you do not speak Somali, and do not know any active editor who does. Sorry for the convoluted example, but I see no simpler way to check what I want to check.)</small> You come across a 7-days-old AfD for John Doe. The article consists of the text {{tq|John Doe is buznessman famous in Somalia who will be the next president}}; it includes links to two youtube videos in Somali with about 1M views each. Nomination is "Per [[WP:GNG]]", two participants !voted delete "per nom, nothing found on the net". What do you do?
::'''A:''' Hi Tigraan. Assuming that everything else is in order (that is, the videos are not attack videos or copy-vios or general vandalism; the nominators, the !voters are all good-faith editors...), while [[WP:SOFTDELETE]] is an option if the article hasn’t been declined for a prod, I would rather prefer leaving a note at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Somalia]] about the AfD and moving on. I’m not comfortable taking administrative action in an area where I may have to assess Arabic or Somali sources through my own research. Same with editorial involvement (although I can't say I haven't involved myself into foreign language Afds previously).

;Additional question from [[User:Jetstreamer|Jetstreamer]]
:'''13.'''&nbsp;Can you please tell us how would you have proceeded in the entire process that led to this {{diff|Wikipedia%3ADeletion_review%2FLog%2F2018_February_9|826340140|826055405}} closure?
::'''A:''' Jetstreamer, I’ve read through the complete timeline that finally led to the DR and the overturn. Let me give you a quick synopsis of an experience I had had a couple of years ago. Although this may not be anywhere in the same category as the one you’ve mentioned, to an extent, my first exposure to the issue of whether a list is notable or not at  [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Formula One Grand Prix wins by Ayrton Senna]] taught me a few important points, one of them being that an established and experienced editor can view the same list, which you might consider notable, to be not notable, using compelling arguments which are as logical as yours. While I argued that the list was worth one that could be upgraded to Featured status, the nominator provided convincing arguments that this was just equivalent to fancruft. The List got saved in that AfD, and later the original author Harrias nominated it for FL, which it eventually passed when I re-nomm’d it. What I’m trying to reach here is that having read all the discussions at the VPP, AN, AfD and DR, I feel that both sides have had weighty arguments and interpretations that strike home. Those are experienced editors and administrators who have opposed your points of view with very logical interpretations of how Rfc decisions at VPP should be read and implemented, while there are equally strongly worded arguments given in your favor by as experienced editors. When interpretations from both sides are strong enough, sometimes it becomes purely a number game – about how many editors support which side. To be clear, as an editor, I would be in your camp (if that’s the right way to put it). That is, I don’t feel that a bunch of lists can be clubbed together as deletable through an Rfc that pushes the deletion as policy supported by the community. Yes, we many times have multiple articles listed at the same AfD, but each one is assessed on its own merit in the respective discussion. My personal opinion is similar, that each list can have its own unique characteristics and notability worth, that cannot and should not be assessed en masse, and that too at a forum that is away from AfD. If I had had to close the original AfD without being initially involved, then I believe that given my reading of the consensus evident in the deletion discussion, I would have closed it as keep than as delayed delete, additionally providing the relevant descriptive in the closure statement. I hope this gives you an understanding of how I would have proceeded in the entire process.

;Additional question from [[User:Coffee|Coffee]]
:'''14.''' What is your understanding of the Arbitration Committee's [[WP:AC/DS|Discretionary Sanctions]] system, specifically what do you think its purpose is and when should it be utilized?
::'''A:''' My first view is that it should probably have been called the discretionary restrictions and sanctions system than just discretionary sanctions. My understanding is that the purpose of this procedure is to allow administrators leeway in placing sanctions on editors and restrictions on pages that make a part of some of our most contentiously edited topic areas to ensure that disruption is minimized. Some typicalities of the DS system include the fact that it provides uninvolved administrators with the option of implementing a range of restrictions and sanctions, without necessarily requiring community consensus for the same (with the exception of controversial cases, where the AE may be reached out to). For example, in the normal course, an administrator would not have the authority to force a topic ban on an editor unless community consensus exists for the same; similar is the case with, for example, 1RR restrictions on any page. The DS system makes such and similar actions quick and within the grasp of the acting administrator. Additionally, a restriction or a sanction placed by an administrator cannot be overturned unilaterally by another administrator – giving more weight to an administrative action made through the DS system than through the normal system; for example, a block placed on an editor via the DS system cannot be reconsidered by another administrator, unless AE/AN consensus or Arbcom approval is obtained. With respect to your query on when DS should be utilized, my understanding is that when, in these most aggressively edited articles, the spirit of productive editing and collaborative discussions gets waylaid by tendentious editors, the quick implementation of reasonably proportionate page restrictions and discretionary sanctions would enable the minimization of disruption while allowing good-faith editors to continue collaborating on the said articles. Compared with the pre-DS era, when articles in these conflict areas were probably protected for the longest time possible to ensure that editors stop edit-warring and gain consensus about all contentious items on the board before requesting for page unprotection, the DS system I expect would have broadly reduced this need for long-term protection by effecting, say, consensus requirements/1RR/and similar proportional restrictions and sanctions to allow the majority of editors to keep editing. Although I’ve never had an experience with this system, your queries allowed me to perhaps read up on this area for the first time and actually gain significant knowledge – so apologies in advance if the answers don’t match up to what should be right.

;Additional question from [[User:Coffee|Coffee]]
:'''15.''' How many warnings should a person receive before being blocked or otherwise sanctioned for violating a Arbitration Enforcement restriction?
::'''A:''' My understanding of the standard provision on enforcement of restrictions is that unless any case-specific enforcement provision has been passed by Arbcom, no warning before blocking (or sanctioning) is required for users who violate restrictions they are subject to.

;Additional question from [[User:Siddiqsazzad001|Siddiqsazzad001]]
:'''16.''' If you got this right then how you help new user's?
::'''A:''' Hello, I don't believe one actually needs to pass an RfA to help new users. Of course, the tools provide helpful fixes – for example, I occasionally see newbies at the Help desk complaining about their articles having been deleted; the tools may help me to see the deleted versions and guiding them better.

#'''Support''' because having seen the candidate on the Help Desk, I am fairly sure that (in addition to being an all-around decent Wikipedian) they have the clue to [[RTFM]] when needed and to listen to criticism. This being said, I acknowledge Chris Troutman's (oppose #2) concerns about AfD as legitimate - my feeling about stuff like [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AIOps]] is that Lourdes searches for sources (which is good), and once enough second-grade sources have popped up to push it into the gray area, she feels somehow committed to the keep side to not waste the discovered sources (which is bad, see also [[sunk cost fallacy]]). I do not believe that to be a serious obstacle to getting the mop, though. For the record, I&nbsp;had asked Q12 expecting an answer along the lines of "I will search myself for sources" and from there on the follow-up would have probed their requirements on sourcing etc. but the answer given is good (except for the "what if refs are attack/copyvios" part - the premise of the question is that you could not evaluate their content yourself).

=====Oppose=====
#'''Oppose''' per Q10.  The explanation of what is being done in such edits is weak.  My impression is that the candidate goes to a random page, runs a formatting script (which one?) and then moves on.  For a more recent example, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Hendrick_Zwaardecroon&diff=821256088&oldid=774815487 Hendrick Zwaardecroon].  This page has had a clean-up tag since 2009 but the candidate ignores that, runs their script and moves on, as usual.  What I'm not seeing here is any added value or appreciation of [[WP:COSMETICBOT]].  I am familiar with some other editors who love doing things like this and, in my experience, they tend to be trouble-makers; they annoy other editors more than they please them.  I therefore feel the candidate needs more experience and understanding before they are given a more powerful toolset to play with.

#'''Oppose''' - not to be "that guy who nitpicks", but I do have several concerns involving Lourdes.  Two years of experience is a little less than I like seeing; my general rule is that if you're newer than I am or have fewer edits than I do, I am going to wonder what makes you so special that I should support you.  I agree with [[User:Andrew Davidson|Andrew]]'s point above about high numbers of merely cosmetic edits done through a script that cause no change to the actual content of the page as it appears; this seems to be simply an attempt to boost one's own edit count.  Also concerning is her apparent lack of use of the preview button, as on [[Special:Diff/824065148|the help desk]] earlier this month and many other instances, causing her to make a half dozen consecutive edits to the same page in rapid succession.  As such, if you account for these, Lourdes has far fewer than the 17K edits she boasts on the surface. I'm also not the type to bring up old business, but the [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Lourdes|first RfA]], a self-nom twelve months ago, also seems a bit misguided, running after only fourteen months and 11K (many trivial or automated) edits, in blatant disregard to the advice of [[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] and seemingly ignoring concerns related to experience and demeanor.  While not blatantly uncivil, Lourdes can admittedly be a bit snippy at times, such as the many times she has brusquely pointed someone to a rule page with nothing more than a one-short-sentence explanation if that. In short, while there are no dealbreakers that jump out at me, there are a combination of factors that make it hard for me to support this RfA.

# '''Neutral leaning oppose'''. I opposed last time around, and Lourdes asked for feedback on 24 December 2017. I did a small-sample review and came across the 12 December [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fawzia Peer]]. It made me leery about several issues. My feedback is at [[User talk:Glrx/Archive 11#Request for feedback]]. Her response to my feedback troubled me further. Somehow, my small sample managed to find her "once in a year share of an unexpected slip-up". She also did not understand the interview quotation / PR release issue raised by [[User:Gbawden]] and seconded by me. I'm not sure the policy understanding is there. Sorry, but I'm pressed for time right now and do not have time for further detail or research. [[User:Glrx|Glrx]] ([[User talk:Glrx|talk]]) 23:00, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
#::[[Fawzia Peer]] undoubtedly fails [[WP:POLOUTCOMES]] and while, to justify keeping it under [[WP:BIO]], not all of the sources Lourdes offered are platinum, there seems to be enough to demonstrate that this was a GF salvage effort by Lourdes, though you are correct that one or two should be discarded as PR. Were I !voting in that deletion discussion I would still have probably supported delete, however, I think it's really on the fence and there's nothing inherently unreasonable about Lourdes' position, even if it might not be one with which I probably agree. Out of a preponderance of caution, I pulled a non-representative, convenience sample of three random AfDs ([[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International Food Waste Coalition]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Masters in Strategic Project Management (European)]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Uzair Farooq]]), from Lourdes' 30 most recent and in each of these I see a good !vote rationale, as opposed to vague waves, while two even have proactive identification of PR in sourcing. (Perhaps unbelievably, this really was a random pull, too - I didn't set-out looking for AfDs in which Lourdes demonstrated an ability to identify PR!)

#::: First, I wish Lourdes all the best in her new position. My comments have nothing to do with which way she voted in the AfD. My cursory examination did not see depth in her argument, and that is why I brought up the FP AfD. When called on the FP name collision, she blew it off as the only error she made all year. Am I really that lucky to find her yearly error in my small sample? I don't think an I'm-almost-perfect viewpoint is appropriate for an admin. OK, it's a mistake, people make mistakes, and I can forgive. Given the small sample I used, I'm concerned about a high error rate. I don't have the time to peruse her contribs to check the error rate, so I landed in neutral. Her response also missed Gbawden's criticism about PRs; in fact, she doubled down on her PR interpretation by citing to the last line. I want admins to understand the issues. I think she will reject a PR that appears on a corporate or personal website (so your PR samples are not on point for my worries) but she will accept as a RS a PR that was published in the NYT. In other words, I worry that she judges by publisher name rather than actual content. [[User:Glrx|Glrx]] ([[User talk:Glrx|talk]]) 03:02, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

* This is my question --> Wikipedia has a lot of pending controversies and admins (if they desire) have an important role to play in taking decisions that will ensure that this community is not ruined. Seeing that you've barely been here for three years, how informed are u on the most notable pending cases that have gotten to ArbCom, ANI, COIN or any other admin noticeboards? Will you say mediating on OLD issues involving regular editors on these noticeboards is an area you think you will be interested in?[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy|talk]]) 16:47, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
:*Hi Handsomeboy. You're right that my tenure of just over two years is not enough to provide me experience commensurate to those who've been here for a lot more time and have been involved in a range of dispute resolution activities. While I have occasionally taken effort to read up on the notable ArbCom, ANI or other noticeboard cases whenever they've come to my notice, I suspect I don't qualify on the well-informed quotient as you might perhaps expect. I'm not sure about mediating on old issues; but yes, with the minimal DR experience I've had in the past (listed in my response to one of the questions above), I might initially slowly wade into mediating fresh cases which are not too complicated. I don't know if this is the answer you were looking for. Thanks, '''[[User talk:Lourdes|<span style="color:black"><small>Lourdes</small></span>]]''' 11:01, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
