Karmafist

Vote here (33/2/1) ending 00:51, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Karmafist (talk · contribs) is a very qualified user, and I'm surprised that he isn't an admin yet. Kate's edit tool puts him at 2,359 edits; he has been around since August 9th, 2004, and while some users who are newer may have more edits, I feel that Karmafist truly deserves adminship. --WikiFanatic

Allow me to elaborate on that nomination... Karmafist is a funny guy, he knows policy, and is all around friendly. He gave me, Essjay, and a few others a barn to store our vandals that we would face as admins. He started the barnstar eaten by a bear thing IIRC, and there's basically no reason to oppose. Redwolf24 (talk) 01:27, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here.

I accept the nomination. Karmafist 01:02, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

Neutral

  1. Am not sure that he will make good judgements when Misplaced Pages policies are concerned. I may have had only few intereactions, and this, in a same page with him, but what I have seen there doesn't satisfy me. Fadix 21:49, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
To help out those in the dark here, the page Fadix is talking about is here. It was basically a tit for tat between Coolcat and several people who were concerned with Coolcat, and I believed that Fadix was hurting himself by making it seem like a vendetta case, and that it ultimately went against precedent regarding user pages here and here. The second of which I was somewhat disturbed by, but it's not up to me to ignore Wiki-law. If I disagree with those laws, I can propose changes and ask others to do so by discussion. It wasn't my intent to offend Fadix, but i'm proud that he considered himself a Neutral rather than an Oppose despite the fact that my opinion was apparently offensive to him. Karmafist 14:16, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
I can't vote oppose, because one pages is not enough. See this in positive light. I've voted for three cases if my memory doesn't fail me, and I opposed two of those, so you're the only neutral. I still maintain you were wrong, but this is entirly another story. :) Fadix 17:57, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Comments

  • Use of edit summaries overall is 31%, 53% over the last 500 edits. I think this person will make a good admin, but I'd like very much to see use of edit summaries be much higher. --Durin 16:15, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. *I assume mostly protection, deletion, vandalism related issues and arbcom enforcement. Although i'd like to branch out into the other admin functions as well over time. Karmafist 01:25, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. There are several, in varying areas. Current Major League Baseball Players by Nationality in terms of sheer addition (37 edits on the article, 8 edits on the talk page, and i'm not done yet); the Missing Barnstar, the Barnstar that was eaten by a Bear, and the Barn Award in terms of Wikilove as well as possible welcoming new users(currently approaching 200); and Nashua, New Hampshire as well as Tony Massarotti in terms of the collaborative power of Misplaced Pages. Karmafist 01:25, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and will deal with it in the future?
A. I've had two big incidents in my opinion in my "wiki-life". One was awhile ago when I had just gotten my account and I got into a stupid and counterproductive argument with MONGO on George W. Bush. Since then, I can barely look at that article without feeling sick, so i've committed myself to staying away from it at all costs. I also had a small revert war on Red Eye(drug) due to my pride in establishing articles, which I resolved with some external assistance from I believe either Redwolf24 or Essjay or Longhair or somebody. Time heals all wounds though, and ultimately, just continuing to edit in other areas proved to be the best medicine. I also believe I have a few other minor flaws that I hope to work on, please contact my talk page to discuss these if you'd like. Karmafist 01:25, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
