Nomination
theleekycauldron (talk · contribs) – (First, don't confuse theleekycauldron with the other user Leaky caldron!)
Talented, kindhearted, dedicated, caring, and conscientious, theleekycauldron embodies the traits of our finest administrators.
In theleekycauldron's three years as an active editor, her contributions have spanned a rare combination of prolific content writing, backend and maintenance, and technical contributions. Theleekycauldron has written four FAs/FLs, 12 GAs, and 65 DYKs. Her dedication at DYK is quite something to behold: in addition to promoting over 2,600 hooks to DYK's prep sets (making her DYK's most prolific active promoter), theleekycauldron has contributed to making DYK more accessible including by starting a draft reorganization of DYK's lengthy guidelines. Finally, she also contributes her technical skills as the author of the "PSHAW" script and the maintainer of GalliumBot. I don't personally like the term "need for the tools", but I think it's fair to say that theleekycauldron has a lot to contribute as a sysop in all of these domains.
Her work is well summed up in her citation to be Editor of the Week from last December: Recognized for her brilliant DYK prep work, eclectic article writing and active promotion at DYK, creating many prep sets and userscripts to speed up the process. She frequents WT:DYK, making quick decisions on nominations and significant contributions to discussions. leek's featured work ranges from United States congressional delegations from Hawaii to C. J. Cregg to the ever-debated Pronunciation of GIF, and her GAs are no less varied! Her sense of humor and ease of manner does not go unnoticed.
Since theleekycauldron's first RfA a year and a half ago, I've been eagerly awaiting the chance to support her second try. Theleekycauldron has grown quite a lot as an editor, and it's clear to me that she has been really thoughtful in incorporating feedback from that RfA into her everyday editing. I wholeheartedly endorse her sound judgment, communication, and temperament to be a sysop.
With that, it is my distinct privilege to submit theleekycauldron to the community for adminship. KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 23:43, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Co-nomination statement
As one of the first people to oppose TLC's previous RFA, I am thrilled to be co-nominating her for a second RFA. When TLC withdrew that RFA, I saw that as a sign that she was listening and willing to take criticism, and I hoped we'd be here again in the future.
What I see now is a user that others are already coming to asking for help, a user who is hardworking, patient, and helpful to others. Those are all excellent qualities for an administrator, and I'm happy to see that they have maintained a lighthearted spirit while apparently taking on board the previous concerns about maturity and civil behavior.
As I've said many times, everyone makes mistakes (my own first RFA failed for similar reasons), it is what we do after we make an error that is the true test of character, and I'm happy to say that I beleive theleekycauldron has passed that test and would be a fine administrator. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:44, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept the nomination! My thanks to L235 and Beeblebrox for their help and counsel :) disclosures can be found here. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 17:30, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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. Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?
- A: In the normal course of editing, I'll often stumble on a thing or two that needs admin work – in those cases, and others where some friendly admins might be needed, I'm happy to lend a hand. I have a broad range of technical, policy, and content experience, as well as a good disposition and sense of my limits.
- Much of my normal beat as an editor involves Did you know, where I do a bunch behind the scenes. I know DYK inside and out and have firsthand experience in pretty much every part of the place, even those areas where advanced permissions are needed: promoting preps to queues, helping out at WP:ERRORS, adminbots, and other, more esoteric parts of DYK's functioning. DYK frequently experiences backlogs that are tough to deal with; the prep and queue systems, for example, can't store surpluses. If we can do more work than we can store, that energy is wasted, and we have no backup for times of deficit. That makes it important for DYK to maintain a consistently dedicated group of volunteers who are willing to keep up the jog over long periods of time – something I'm willing and able to do. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 04:22, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- A: I've done my fair share of mainspace work, including three featured articles, a featured list, 12 good articles, and a total of 67 DYK credits. My editing is mostly in the worlds of television, American politics, and music, but I'm also a bit of an omnivore and am happy to help out in a wide range of areas. It's hard to pick a favorite, but a few honorable mentions to C. J. Cregg, an FA of a West Wing character and my indirect namesake; the seven other articles I've written about people who share my name; and pronunciation of GIF, an FA that embodies why I love learning.
- I'm also proud of my work at DYK, where, as I mentioned above, I've lent more than a couple hands. I am the fifth most active promoter in DYK's recorded history (data starts from 2011), with over 2,600 logged promotions. I also help out with reviewing, raise questions at Wikipedia talk:Did you know and Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors, and generally do my best to help keep the train moving. DYK is also the place where I most utilize my technological experience: I wrote the code for WP:PSHAW, a tool that streamlines the DYK promotion process for both prep builders and promoting admins. I also operate GalliumBot, which logs post-promotion changes to DYK hooks, maintains the DYK statistics tables, and maintains the list of DYK's most prolific promoters. Once upon a time, I also wrote DYK's monthly wrap, a pet project I've always wanted to return to. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 04:22, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- 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: Like most folks, while I don't often get into heated conflicts with other editors, I find myself in disagreements from time to time. Generally, I try to stay focused (which means not taking the source of stress personally), concede when and where I think I've been wrong, and avoid going in circles. When something does get under my skin, my goal is for me to be able to take apart what happened after, figure out what caused me to react the way I did, and keep that lesson in mind for next time. If you're an editor out there who's told me that I've done something wrong: thank you, I appreciate it. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 04:22, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You may ask optional questions below. There is a limit of two questions per editor. Multi-part questions disguised as one question, with the intention of evading the limit, are disallowed. Follow-up questions relevant to questions you have already asked are allowed.
Optional question from usernamekiran
- 4. Hi. The stock question: In your opinion, what tanked your last RfA, and what changes did you make in regards with that? (bureaucrats, kindly feel free to consider these as two questions if necessary.) —usernamekiran (talk) 17:37, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- A: First, my thanks again to everyone who participated in my last RfA. The opposition expressed a lot of thoughtful, constructive feedback, most importantly related to maturity and temperament. In the year and a half since that RfA, I've worked really hard to incorporate it into my editing style and routine. I'm older, I've seen more of the wiki, I have a bit of a tougher skin. All told, I'm much better at responding to criticism with an open mind and a polite demeanor. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 18:16, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Optional question from Rotideypoc41352
- 5. What was your thought process behind clipping File:Sample of "Hayloft", by Mother Mother.mp3 to 30 seconds and not shorter?
- A: Oh, nice catch! Looks like that was an oversight – when I was clipping the audio, I'd made a mental note of something to the effect of "it can't be longer than 30 seconds, but you should double-check on that one". Then, when I uploaded it, I realized that I'd actually forgotten to export the clip, instead uploading the full song, which drove the whole second half of that mental note out of my head. Thanks, and my bad! I've reuploaded the file clipped to 15 seconds, which should be within the 10% limit of the 3-minute song. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 16:58, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Optional question from Szmenderowiecki
- 6. In the previous RfA in question 12, you noted, when asked how you would use admin tools outside DYK, that
Nothing comes to mind, no; in any case, I wouldn't be using the tools in new areas until I had built up a requisite experience similar to my level of knowledge at DYK
. Now you claim that you have "a broad range of technical, policy, and content experience, as well as a good disposition and sense of my limits" (question 1). Yet most of the contribs as far as I saw are at least tangentially, if not directly, related to DYK. Because we cannot restrict adminship to DYK, which you do well, what is it exactly that you learned in 1.5 years that you now believe you are confident to have requisite experience in fields outside DYK? If this question is not clear enough, I'll rephrase it: in which areas have you diversified your editing or which areas did you start to watch in a way that would be relevant for your admin duties and to the extent that we could say is meaningful and also a big improvement to January 2022? Szmenderowiecki (talk) 13:11, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]- A: Good question! I do think that both statements can be true. I do want to lend a hand wherever I can – at the same time, I'm not going to use the tools to dive headfirst into the water of a new area. I think it goes back to knowing your limits: For instance, I'd feel pretty okay revision-deleting blatant copyright infringement under WP:RD1, because between three years of content and DYK work, I'm pretty familiar with how the tool works, and it's useful to have in the box as a content creator and reviewer. At the same time, my sphere of competence doesn't extend across the observable universe: I wouldn't feel comfortable jumping into AE blocks, etc. Hope that helps clarify! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:19, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Optional question from Folly Mox
- 7. I feel like I read somewhere that
DYK frequently experiences backlogs that are tough to deal with; the prep and queue systems, for example, can't store surpluses.
If it would be desirable to build a DYK granary, do you have any ideas on how that might be done? Alternatively, if it is not desirable, can you explain why?- A:
Optional question from Soni
- 7. I understand that this is not policy at all, so this will have no bearing on my actual !vote. Editors who are not hyperactive may become confused on seeing two Wikimedians with too similar usernames, especially if they're both prolific editors. Given that you will (likely) become an admin, this confusion (with Leaky caldron) might get worse now. Would you consider a username change because of this?

- I’ve been a fan of Theleekycauldron since she started working at DYK several years ago. The amount of work she’s put in there is pretty impressive and includes multiple improvements to the process. Her input is constructive and clueful, and she shows an enviable temperament when dealing with other editors. I was a nominator for her first RfA, which in the face of some pretty painful opposition she withdrew with grace, unwaveringly continued that grace in the aftermath, and got right back to work. Basically everything we’d hope to see from a disappointed candidate. I’ve only become more enthusiastic about her as a candidate in the 20 months since. She’s not just a regular creator of top-notch content but also contributes in techie ways, and the toolset will let her contribute even more usefully in that area. I support this candidacy with zero reservations. Valereee (talk) 17:30, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- As nominator. KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 17:31, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I was not active while the first RFA happened, but as the one being quoted in the nom, I am more than ready to see leek enter the admin corp. She is a fine editor and has shown incredible growth, and a willingness to learn; those qualities I believe will carry her far. Sennecaster (Chat) 17:34, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Of course! :3 F4U (they/it) 17:36, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, has done excellent work at DYK, both with content and building the infrastructure. She should be made an admin so she can do even more work. —Kusma (talk) 17:37, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Support with pleasure. The candidate showed herself to be mature well beyond what might be assumed from her age at her last RfA, and she's only reinforced that impression since then. The extensive prior scrutiny and highly respected nominators give me confidence that there are no disqualifying demons lurking in the closet. Her answers to the standard questions are good, showing that she has valid interest in the tools, extensive content and non-content contributions, and a collegial attitude. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 17:53, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Support Well-explained nominations. Really impressed by her work in many areas. --Victor Trevor (talk) 18:08, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- (ec twice!) Support: I wasn't here to see your first RfA, but I've always had a good impression of Leeky from the times I've seen them help out at DYK. DYK always needs admins and I'm sure Leeky will be excellent in helping out with the admin tasks in both this area and beyond. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 18:10, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Just a note here: I find it so refreshing that you acknowledge your deleted articles on your userpage. Accountability is a good trait for an admin, and being willing to say so openly that you were wrong in these cases is a breath of fresh air. We all have deleted contribs from when we began, but showing growth from them in such a public fashion is a great show of maturity. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 01:38, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- I reached out to leek a bit after her previous RfA. I saw an editor with tremendous potential and didn't want her to feel discouraged by my opposition. She was incredibly courteous in response, and gave me guidance for my first few encounters with DYK, where I quickly learned she is without equal among active editors both in her knowledge of the intricacies of the DYK process and her commitment to bringing interesting and engaging information to 5 million daily Main Page readers. Then she did something amazing: She made a content creator of a user-conduct admin. Since getting to know leek, I have written 7 GAs (~4 decileeks), and everything I know about content-writing, I learned from her.One of those GAs is Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, which leek coauthored and subsequently advised me on. The article falls into a whopping four contentious topic areas, and I watched leek navigate the attendant difficulties with ease. My previous oppose was based on BLP concerns, and I don't know a better way to show that that concern is gone than to say that we brought a very difficult BLP from redlink to GA together.If putting up with my bullshit (and, very wisely, politely refusing my hundred or so offers of an RfA nom) weren't enough, I want to emphasize this: leek has done just about the best job anyone could ask of taking on feedback from a previous RfA. She didn't run off to some quiet noncontroversial corner of the project and tick off boxes. She kept doing what she's good at, just better. She's modernized DYK procedures in several ways and even wrote the DYK sourcing requirement that led to the new GA sourcing requirement. Great content writer, technically adept, and already knows more about the admin area she wants to work in than most admins. It doesn't get better than this. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 18:23, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The candidate needs the tools for DYK—or rather, DYK needs the candidate to have tools.

- Support I supported in round 1 already and have encouraged Leeky to give RfA another go, hence I'm glad to see this. A strong theme in the oppose faction at the last round was lack of maturity, and whilst I personally was unconcerned about that, I can report that in the intervening time, the candidate has most certainly become more mature. I support this candidate 100% and don't have the slightest niggle; Leeky will make an outstanding addition to the admin team. Schwede66 19:45, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, enthusiastically!! I've been gradually learning how to submit articles to DYK, and now starting to do QPQ reviews, and Theleekycauldron has been a tremendous guide and mentor.

Lately we have been hoping for an extra administrator in DYK, and I would be surprised if anybody knows more about that corner of the project than Leeky. In my many interactions with Leeky, she has always been cordial and understanding. Leeky has the temperament to be one of our best administrators. Two . Leeky keeps many of our processes working and has created tools and templates for us to work more efficiently. Leeky has schooled me into promoting hooks at DYK and she encouraged me at all times. She is without ego and is one of the very best editors on the project. I love that she decided to run a second time because we all need her! Bruxton (talk) 20:54, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And my opinion has not changed. Yes, there have been times since then I have thought she's been a little too demanding with my DYK noms, given how many I have, but to be fair I'm the one letting myself feel entitled because of that, that grudge doesn't last and frankly anyone scrolling through T:TDYK can see she's that stringent with every nomination she reviews. The 100+ !votes without any opposes so far is a strong admission that the community let itself be talked into making a mistake last time ... it would be an even greater repudiation of that RFA if it breaks 200 with no opposes.

To do it with such grace and good cheer is a bonus. I'm also moved by comments from those who work closely with theleekycauldron, above.

- Support; I recently interacted with the DYK corner of en-wiki for the first time, and I was quite impressed how well-coordinated and put together everything is. Some of the most impactful work that can be done on en-wiki is to change and improve the processes by which it works, but that requires initiative, dedication, and being in touch with the community. All of those are valuable traits in a prospective admin. As others have mentinoed, there's not really anything substantial to be concerned about, either. Thanks for your work, TLC!

I don't follow it at closely as I used to, but what I have seen since the last RfA (where I opposed because of DYK issues) gives me no reason to continue to oppose, and the above support by Amakuru, one of the best DYK admins in my experience, only reinforces the impression that the issues from the previous RfA no longer apply.

While I don't regret that vote, I was thoroughly impressed with the gracious manner in which she dealt with the outcome of that RfA, and the active response that followed; her actions following failure are very telling and more than alleviate my concerns from last time.

- Just a general observation here - this RfA (assuming it continues its current trajectory) will join the annals alongside Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Anarchyte 2 of an example of a Wikipedian doing the absolute right thing following an unsuccessful RfA, in addressing the issues raised and running again some time later. The community is not vindictive, and none of us oppose anyone to be nasty or just for giggles - we're all here for the same reason, we all want each other to succeed, and anyone who runs for adminship is to be applauded. If you take "oppose" !votes as constructive criticism rather than an indictment on your entire character, then everyone benefits. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 11:41, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- This is perhaps not the place for it, but I very much disagree. If it has been six years since a candidate successfully re-ran for RfA within two years of the original, more than a quarter of the age of the website, then this is not because all other candidates are too sensitive and emotional: the comment "try again in a year" is a joke and vilification by opposers is not "constructive criticism". — Bilorv (talk) 12:21, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I do think many candidates could run successfully after a year of addressing concerns but decide not to put themselves through it again. It can be pretty ugly even for those who have a successful RfA, and for those who have an unsuccessful one, it can feel like an experience they'd never want to repeat.
- Also, it can be difficult to decide if one has taken enough time between RfAs. Running a second one "too soon" and failing a second time is IMO highly likely to take it off the table forever from the community's point of view. Valereee (talk) 15:44, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I think @Valereee hits the nail on the head. Non-near-unanimous RfAs are unpleasant to watch but they're a hell of a lot worse to live through, and unsuccessful ones presumably worse yet. We don't have a large pile of unsuccessful 2nd RfAs - we just have very few 2nd attempts at all in recent years. Nosebagbear (talk) 16:04, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed, when I suggested TLC give it another go, the response was sort of "eh", so I'm glad that she's finally up for giving it another go. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:10, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it really depends on how the first RfA failed. Some issues (e.g. lack of experience) are easily surmountable with time. Others (e.g. temperament issues) not so much. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 17:23, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed this is an example of good process in action, which should be championed and celebrated.
