Voice your opinion on this candidate (talk page) (1/5/1); Scheduled to end 10:58, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Nomination

Madhero88 (talk · contribs) – Here is my first attempt at nominating someone else for adminship. User:Madhero88 has been editing for nearly 3 years. During the three years he has created over 80 articles, participating in the DYKs and the Wikipedia:WikiProject Jordan. He has also adopted three other users. Although he got blocked once in January 2009 I still hope it isn't a surprise for him to be nominated for adminship. Minimac94 (talk) 11:28, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I really appreciate the nomination, and I thank User:Minimac94 for it, and I am honored to accept it, and become one of the great admins of Wikipedia MaenK.A.Talk 17:04, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Support
  1. Support as the nominator. Minimac94 (talk) 19:38, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Oppose
  1. Oppose - You seem to have a penchant for Huggle mistakes. This coupled with my relative disdain for the overuse of Huggle, I'm going to be force to oppose for now. Wisdom89 (T / C) 19:33, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Everyone makes mistakes, but I can't support in good conscience an admin who accidentally restores vandalism twice in a day while using Huggle. Looking at your edit history it seems you do a lot of good work, both in article work and in anti-vandalism, but one out of every few hundred reverts is something like this, which you didnt seem to notice until the user Tangent747 brought it up on your talk page. I would be happy to support if you return to full time editing for a while and show us that you won't make mistakes like that in the future. -- Soap Talk/Contributions 20:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose, I see some causes for concern regarding Huggle and copyright issues. Would also like to see some more experiences in varied capacities, including quality content work. Cirt (talk) 20:11, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Oppose Per Soap and lack of recent activity. The majority of activity within the last 2 months seems to be controversial, and I cannot support an admin with that in mind. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 20:11, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I see now that the edit counter seems to be a bit borked; it's only showing 11 and 3 edits for the last 2 months, but looking at the contribs log it's much higher. Still, the recent momentary lapses of judgement give me reason for concern. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 20:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I just manually counted edits for January 2010, and I got 11,; 7 for December 2009, and none for November- the same as the edit counter. Edit counter is a bit sluggish for current month, but I don't think the edit count is that far off. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 21:09, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I just looked at this month's, saw it wasn't "3", and assumed something was wrong. Thanks for the info. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 22:09, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose per soap.--Coldplay Expért Let's talk 21:47, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral
  1. Neutral due to lack of evidence - I like to review the candidate's answers to the three standard questions as a minimum.--otherlleft 19:58, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
