#'''Oppose''' I found 3 notices of fair use images used in his user space on his talk page, his nominator has only been here since April, and the fact that he has had no disputes means (to me) he hasn't really delved into policy or any kind of controversial XfD work. Actually, looking at his talk page, it looks like he had a little spat a while ago about restoring deleted comments to talk pages in contravention of policy. -[[User:N|N]] 02:35, 20 June 2007 (UTC) |

'''Oppose''' As was pointed out above, the Nominator and the person have very little knowledge of wiki policy. The nominator has been here since April, and has very little, to no experience. And the Greeves has less than 1000 edits. I don't really support people with less than 10000 edits. So I am opposed. Sorry. Good Luck! [[User:Politics rule|Politics rule]] 03:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC) |

Revision as of 03:30, 20 June 2007
Greeves
(talk page) (1/1/0); Scheduled to end 02:22, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Greeves (talk · contribs) - Greeves has been here for approximately 9 months, and has done wonders since that time. He is a usual AfD commenter, founder of WikiProject:MMO, and is very active in fighing vandals. I believe that he would take great advantage of the tools, to continue to improve Wikipedia.

- Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I graciously accept and I thank GrooveDog for the nomination. Greeves (talk • contribs) 02:22, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
- 1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- A: As a metapedianist, I cannot really write you a list of my featured article contributions as the closest thing that I came to a featured article was MMORPG which I helped out with a bit (currently a GA).
- One contribution outside of the mainspace which I am particularly pleased with (which GrooveDog mentioned in the candidate presentation) is WikiProject MMO. WikiProject MMO is a WikiProject which I founded whose scope is MMO and MMO-related articles (a MMO is a genre of video games where the game is played in a persistent universe). I also created much of the framework for many parts of the project as well.
- 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: Luckily, I have not been in any real conflicts. If I were to though, I would assume good faith and try to work the problem out with the other party. If I ever became really stressed about the conflict I would leave the page(s) alone and maybe take a short wikibreak to to stay as cool as a cucumber.
Optional questions from User:N
- 4. There are two warnings on your talk page for changing people's talk comments. Is this a "conflict over editing"? And what have you learned from the relevant policies that would prevent this in the future?
- 5. What is Wikipedia's policy on non-free content in user space, and why did you have 3 of them in yours?
- A: I believe that Wikipedia:Non-free content would be the appropriate policy/guideline here and I had them there because I was splitting the history section of the MMORPG article (see the history of User:Greeves/MMORPG History). I guess I didn't end up deleting the page, and after this RfA closes, I will be deleting the page (in case others are curious about the page's history).

General comments
- See Greeves's edit summary usage with mathbot's tool. For the edit count, see the talk page.
- Links for Greeves: Greeves (talk · contribs · deleted · count · AfD · logs · block log · lu · rfar · spi)
- Most recent editor review: Wikipedia:Editor review/Greeves 2
- About my edit summary usage: To begin with on Wikipedia, I was mostly contributing to the mainspace (as most people do). As a newcomer, I did not see the point of adding an edit summary to all of my edits. Lately however, I have not been doing too much in the mainspace. As you will see, most of my recent edits outside of the mainspace (and even the few that I did do in mainspace) have edit summaries. As Casmith 789 pointed out in my recent editor review, there is a box in my preferences that I could use to to improve my edit summary usage, which I am now using, and I think has been making a difference.

- AfD: When GrooveDog said "He is a usual AfD commenter," I think he meant MfD. Greeves (talk • contribs) 02:22, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Please keep criticism constructive and polite. If you are unfamiliar with the nominee, please thoroughly review Special:Contributions/Greeves before commenting.
Discussion
Support
- Weak Support You're on the right track, but with less then 1000 main space edits, your rfa isn't going to pass. Better luck next time around. ~ Wikihermit 02:33, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Not to badger the commenters, (if I do not pass this, I will have gotten some constructive criticism) but are the number of mainspace edits a problem? I am a metapedianist and I believe that edits in the project space are equally as important as mainspace edits. Greeves (talk • contribs) 02:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- I think so too, but we are trying to build an encyclopedia here. I don't go off edit count alone, but I like to see at least 800 main space edits. I've seen you around here though with the internal works, so that's the reason for my support. ~ Wikihermit 03:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
