Revision as of 23:31, 19 July 2010
Marcus Qwertyus
(talk page) (2/2/2); Scheduled to end 21:51, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Nomination
Marcus Qwertyus (talk · contribs) – (Formerly known as Marcus Aurelius Antoninus and User name one) I principally work on tedious tasks such as New pages patrol and vandal-fighting but have also created lots of articles (74 to be exact but I've created dozens of others over redirects). I help new users by moving userspace drafts, answering the occasional question and providing encouragement.Marcus Qwertyus 20:42, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
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: Mostly deleting articles with speedy tags and expired prods. I hang around requested moves a lot and perform moves on userspace drafts and in the future I'd like to assist moving uncontroversial moves (e.g. over redirects and stuff.) I would also monitor AIV and in addition have over 2,700 articles on my watchlist and will issue blocks accordingly. At some point I'd like to help clear out Category:Wikipedia files on Wikimedia Commons. There are ~20,000 images in the backlog there. I would also like to edit twinkle and already have to some extent by asking administrators to implement the changes I make.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- A: My best contributions have been to the mainspace. I have cleaned up
dozens, no, hundreds of articles. Here is an example [1]. I am also particularly skilled at article mergers. FCS Manned Ground Vehicles was consolidated from 8 different stuby articles.
- A: My best contributions have been to the mainspace. I have cleaned up
- I have also worked extensively on the main page. On my trophy shelf there are 6 DYK's (and rightfully there should have been a couple of ITN's but the ITN talk page's atmosphere is not conducive for democracy). I often check the factual accuracy of the main page and report problem and updates to Main Page Errors.
- 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: I do not edit war though there is the occasional edit conflict. I made Jansport87 quit (I think I was the straw that broke the camel's back) so I apologized.
Slightly random question from WFC
- 4. I appreciate how random this will seem, but I ask it in good faith. This was my first thought on seeing your username. Do you have a reasonably strong password?
- Additional optional question from Beeblebrox
- 5. Since you took a moment put of your time while preparing this RFA to re-address the situation at User talk:Jansport87, it can hardly come as a surprise to you that it is on my mind as well upon seeing this nomination. Would you care to explain your actions in this matter?

Discussion
Support
- First to support. Good balance of contributions for an admin. --WFC (talk) 22:01, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
- Support Good balance of audited content creation and vandal-fighting. Clearly here to build an encyclopedia, have never had any negative interactions with him. Jclemens (talk) 22:13, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Oppose
- Oppose I find both your actions and your explanation for them in the Jansport thing disingenuous. You didn't seem to care one bit about this until earlier today, when you went over there and asked them to come back right in the middle of putting together this RFA. (look at the timestamps on these edits:[2] [3][4]) That looks to me like just trying to cover your tracks and make an apology for the sake of appearance to help you at RFA. You completely ignored my postings your talk page about this incident[5] and about a bad CSD tagging you made the same day[6]. Admins are expected to be skilled at communicating with other users, and should respond to legitimate criticisms of their actions. Your answer to my question about this did nothing to persuade otherwise. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:09, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
- My lack of a response to your critisism should not be interpreted as me ignoring them. Recently I have taken to writing "duly noted" or just "noted" on such posts. Marcus Qwertyus 23:15, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

- Oppose. No rationale given to Jansport87 as for what makes the username promotional (I honestly have no idea!), and a lack of follow-up on this article's speedy G11 tag, which you self-removed without explanation after the material was sent to OTRS for G12 compliance. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 23:28, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Neutral
- Neutral for now at least. Although contributions look great overall, I am a bit concerned with multiple converted taggings as recent as July 3 (found here). I am impressed at the amount (2500+) pages he has patrolled, but am not confident he holds a super-firm grasp of CSD policy. Since this is a place he intends to work in, I am uncomfortable supporting at this time. Airplaneman ✈ 22:23, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
- Neutral At least until there's a more in depth answer to Question 5. Begoontalk 22:40, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
