Nomination

Sennecaster (talk · contribs) – It is my great pleasure to finally present Sennecaster as an admin candidate. This is a long-overdue nomination of an editor who, if successful, will bring an immediate benefit to the encyclopedia in the area of copyright cleanup.

Senne's talent for handling difficult administrative tasks is evident in her copyright work, where not only does she deal with the day-to-day effort of actual copyright cleanup, but actively works to make the area easier to work in for everyone else. She is almost single-handedly responsible for a complete rewrite of the previously confusing process at Copyright problems, making it far more streamlined and editor-friendly. She has led the way in reducing redundancy by phasing out tags like {{cv-unsure}} and merging the two sets of copyright clerks into one. Finally, Senne has demonstrated her commitment to mentorship by training all three of the copyright clerks who have volunteered within the past few years.

If she ever gets tired of copyright issues, I'm certain that Senne will bring her ability to act decisively but conscientiously to other administrative areas. Outside of copyright, she processes requested moves, slogs through backlogs like unreferenced articles, works on cross-wiki file maintenance, and occasionally dips her toes in at AfC. She has been an active VRT agent for over two years. Her PROD log is small, but shows a 100% success rate, and her logs show that she uses CSD and XfD with similar judiciousness.

I hope you will agree with me that Senne is exactly the kind of person who should be trusted to have the admin tools. I have no doubt that Senne will be an even stronger asset to the project as an administrator. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 05:03, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Co-nomination statement

Every once in a while, you come across a candidate who doesn't just have a need for the tools, but a compelling case for why the project needs them to have the tools. Well, Sennecaster is absolutely one of those candidates! She has a ton of experience at CCI, a project that needs new admins very, truly badly. (Go look at how long the oldest case has been open for.) Sennecaster is among the most tenured copyright clerks on the project and specializes in some of the trickiest and least accessible cases, like copyright violations from offline sources, close paraphrasing, and translation copying. With the tools, she could not only take her own revdels off other admin's plates, she could handle other requests in the copyright area that could use a more experienced eye.

Outside of copyright, Senne does lots of other good work for the project. She takes up lots of actions from requested moves, including technical requests and discussion closes, and helps out with VRT, PROD, and and AfC. She's also written a GA, Through the Darkest of Times, and while it's on the shorter side as GAs go, I'm impressed with how it handles some fairly controversial content and puts together a very good reception section from the available reviews.

Sennecaster and I have had many interactions through our time on Misplaced Pages, coming from roughly the same class of editors who came here because of the pandemic and stayed here because of the opportunity to do something useful and rewarding. I've always found her to be thoughtful, fresh, courteous, and insightful, the best qualities we could ask for in a new admin a long overdue candidacy I'm proud (and very excited!) to be a part of. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 17:00, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: The fine print: I have not and will never edit for pay, and I have 1 (so far) unused alt account that is disclosed to ArbCom. I accept this nomination. Sennecaster (Chat) 17:20, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Misplaced Pages as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?

A: I've spent the past 3 1⁄2 years mostly in copyright cleanup, and I have run into many situations where my work on an article, listing, or file is halted because it needs an admin to do something that not many admins are familiar with. My copyright work that would use admin tools is deleting articles unsalvageable but not clearly unambiguous, presumptive deletions after 7 days, RD1ing removals, moving rewrites, and more rarely, blocking people that have repeatedly violated without improvement. The bus factor is extremely low in copyright for the amount of work to do; there are only about three other people besides me that routinely check and clear listings at CPN, and most of our copyright admins are currently busy elsewhere both offline and online. Additionally, a lot of moves at RMTR don’t need a swap, since the history is redirect targeting, and a better use of time would be to G6 delete and move into place.

The laundry list: Processing copyright problems and CCIs, RD1, doing histmerges off of WP:NHML, un-revdelling files that were once fair use but later determined to be PD to transfer them to Commons, CSD F8, F9, F11, G12, and db-moves. The short answer: Continuing what I enjoy doing here, but with extra buttons. :)

2. What are your best contributions to Misplaced Pages, and why?

A: My best work is in copyright cleanup. I started clerking WP:CP a little over 3 years ago, and I’m proud to have participated in some major cleanups like Misplaced Pages:Contributor copyright investigations/20110727 and WP:CCI/IEP. These two cases in particular were massive time sinks to our community; the first one I completed a majority of the image portion and overall took a 12 year effort from copyright cleanup members, and the second was an equally-longrunning CCI on a university program that unfortunately encouraged widespread copying from textbooks. I am also proud of Through the Darkest of Times, which I created and took to GA. I learned plenty about writing reviews and better understood how to navigate quotation usage in those sections.

I have been a VRT agent since 2022, doing mostly permissions queues but also replying to info-en at times. I am happy with how I’ve helped people with photo permissions or resolved their concerns, even if I can’t share the specifics.

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've had disagreements with editors both over content decisions and copyright matters, and I use a lot of strategies to keep the discussion cool. I like to give myself at least 10 minutes between reading someone disagreeing with me and responding to have time to get past my initial reaction. In content discussions like an RM, I try to stick to the rule of only replying if I have a point I’d like someone to consider that hasn’t been brought up in the discussion at all or if I’ve been replied to myself.

At copyright problems, there’s a lot of gray area for how an issue can be handled, and I'm always willing to admit and revise when I've made a mistake. My approach tends to fall along the lines of what happened at Misplaced Pages:Copyright problems/2024 September 18; a user disagreed with my judgment, so I re-checked the article and issue, and we went back and forth as we figured out what options were available. We concluded that a rewrite/BLAR was best.

You may ask optional questions below. There is a limit of two questions per editor. Multi-part questions are disallowed, but you are allowed to ask follow-up questions related to previous questions.

Optional question from Conyo14

4. You obviously have a lot of passion in the copyright sector of Misplaced Pages, but are there any other topics/subjects you enjoy editing too (i.e. Science, sports, politics, etc.)

A: Both of my created articles are on indie or small studio video games, and I suspect that as I play more indie games that have a lot of sources, I'll probably create/expand those articles too. In the future, I want to search and attain print RS for Celtic music so I can expand out that topic significantly. Sennecaster (Chat) 01:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Optional questions from Espresso Addict

5. Are you open to changing your signature? My first thought was that the pinkish red on the talk page link meant that it was red-linked. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

A: Of course, done so. I actually randomly generate the hex codes and adjust them to meet contrast accessibility, so I'm not attached to the colors at all. I've always had a note that I'm happy to change my signature colors if they're unreadable or confusing, and that won't go away now. Sennecaster (Chat) 00:09, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

6. I'm curious, could you write further about what is it that makes you so engaged with copyright work? My perception is that non-admins (not to mention most admins) don't often get involved in this area, or at least not so deeply. Espresso Addict (talk) 05:34, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

A: I was recommended to try CCI pretty early on and really liked the investigating of sources and copyright status. I like the steady process and wide range of topics I read about, but now it's also fuelled by a sense of responsibility. I picked up copyright problems because there wasn't a lot of people clearing old listings, for one. In a more lighthearted response, "intense desire to solve problem" to quote something PMC said to me. Sennecaster (Chat) 18:37, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Optional question from Hawkeye7

7. On your user talk page you say that you support copyright reform. What reforms would you like to see? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 08:15, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

A: Copyright has a lot of valid reasons to exist, but I have a lot of issue with the length and scope. There are works that are copyrighted for upwards of 150 years, and only a few works ever make profit compared to what is published. Compare to patents which have a 20 year limit. I would prefer a more radical change to publish+50 rule, but PMA+25 is more realistic. Expanding FOP in as many countries as possible to include buildings at a minimum (looking at you, France and the Philippines), and increasing the threshold of originality in Commonwealth countries are other things that would broadly benefit more people. Sennecaster (Chat) 16:44, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Optional question from CanonNi

8. This RfA is almost certainly gonna pass, so here's a lighthearted question: where does your username come from?

A: I used a random name generator off of FNG (don't remember which one) and came up with this username by mashing together two results. There's no specific meaning to it, I just liked the sound of it. Sennecaster (Chat) 16:44, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Optional question from Cordless Larry

9. I see from your user page that you're an advocate of open research and open access. Scholarly and official publications being available on an open-access basis can make the work of Misplaced Pages editors much easier. What is your view on how the verbatim text from an open-access publication that is available under a Misplaced Pages-compatible CC license should be used appropriately on Misplaced Pages, if at all? By that, I don't mean is it allowed, but rather what considerations should go into a decision about whether and how the text is used?

A: Compatibly licensed material can be useful, but like we caution in VRT, it may not always comply with our other policies and guidelines. I think my biggest considerations boil down to neutrality, consensus, and complexity. For instance, a research paper may be compatibly licensed and otherwise summarize scholarly consensus, but it is too POV for us to verbatim copy. In that case, it would be inappropriate to reuse without careful copyediting. We could have a very neutrally-worded paper, but it doesn't reflect current consensus. We would have to be careful with what exactly we copy or if we copy at all. Lastly, we have to make sure that Misplaced Pages articles are understandable by a layperson. If a paper is technically dense and requires subject expertise, it isn't appropriate to verbatim copy into Misplaced Pages. Sennecaster (Chat) 01:53, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Optional question from TrademarkedTWOrantula

10. I was gonna ask about your motivation for investigating copyright violations, but that's already been done. Instead, I'll ask this: How often and how long do you take breaks from Misplaced Pages?

   @Queen of Hearts please redact the offensive part of that. If you were on the oppose side and wrote the "no" version of that, I believe it would be struck as incivil. The same should apply here. RoySmith (talk) 21:02, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

   I'm torn between (a) hoping this RFA doesn't get sidetracked by a pointless argument that has nothing to do with the candidate, and (b) a morbid desire to finally see a threaded discussion of a support get moved to the talk page. Floquenbeam (talk) 21:12, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

   There is a longstanding community consensus that there is no blanket prohibition on using naughty words. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:32, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

   If I said "fuck no", that would be inappropriate, yes, but I don't think "fuck yes" is. Happy to strike or be struck if several people/a monitor think it's inappropriate. Re. Floq, I think a support got moved to talk at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/The Night Watch because it referenced God or something like that? Going off the top of my head. charlotte 23:56, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

   I wrote "fcking finally" and raised no ire, so perhaps you could change your vote to "Fck yes"? Or would it be "Fck s"? Not sure if the letter e is allowed. -- asilvering (talk) 00:46, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

   Yes, that would be this comment and this discussion — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:00, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

   In terms of the standards for monitor action, I do not see a basis to remove or redact this comment, as it does not contain significant policy violations and is not a blockable offense. -- Tamzin (they|xe|🤷) 04:10, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

   I'm pretty sure there is a long-standing consensus that using swear words is not a policy violation by itself. QuicoleJR (talk) 17:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

15. Support Dealing with copyright issues is a complex but important area for Misplaced Pages and I have great respect for those who roll up their sleeves and get stuck in to what can be something of a thankless task!

20. The trope of "Wait, this user isn't already an admin?" has at this stage been used so many times it's basically become a part of RfA itself, but Sennecaster is a shining example of that trope. Thrilled to support, ser! 18:45, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
21. Support The fact that working in CCI for that long hasn't turned Sennecaster into the Joker is a strong enough reason to hand over the tools. Plus, she's been unfailingly civil and level-headed in all our personal interactions. — GhostRiver 18:47, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

I am not a gamer but Through the Darkest of Times is an interesting read and very well done, indicating that the editor is a capable content creator.

She's taught me pretty much everything about copyright I haven't learnt through osmosis, and just in general has given me really great advice. She does what I believe is the some of the most important content work possible- turning a variety of completely unusable masses of close paraphrasing and copyvios filled with original research, plagiarism, and opinions, ect, into proper Misplaced Pages articles that our readers and content reusers can rely on.

50. (edit conflict) Support Unless I'm getting my names mixed up, I first convinced her to install RedWarn, and she was the one who first made me know what CCI is. She was also quite involved in getting that seriously understaffed project its own channel in the Misplaced Pages Discord server, and is perhaps the reason why it has been kept afloat for the past three years. No concerns. JJP_Master (she/they) 21:58, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

61. Support - Their contributions to copyright problems alone given how understaffed it is make this candidate, in my eyes, more than deserving of the tools.

62. Support - I haven't interacted much with Sennecaster but this is a very strong RFA - really competent in an understaffed area, and a lot of editors I really respect are going crazy with support.

Senne is one of the most proficient and experienced editors in copyright cleanup and mediation on the project; where I or others have had issues, she has been invariably helpful and even-tempered.

131. Support. Normally I prefer my candidates to have done more article writing themselves, but Sennecaster appears to do careful work on copyvios and educating new editors about close paraphrasing, and would benefit from the admin tools. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:07, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

153. Support. Can't say this is a name I am used to seeing in my area of work a lot, but seems to have a clear use for the tools, a good head on her shoulders, and the support of some editors who I trust. I see no reason for not trusting with the tools, and look forward to having another admin working in a much needed area! Best of luck, Bobby Cohn (talk) 17:59, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

156. Support. Definitely needs the tools, seems overall pleasant, and I trust the nominators. As an aside, I'm particularly tickled by the admins showing up to support so that she can do the work herself instead of asking other people to do it. Need for tools doesn't get much clearer than that! NekoKatsun (nyaa) 18:49, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

159. Support. Several reasons why Senne is a great person has been established already, so that I do not need to talk too much ;) This is not a matter of "no brainer" or "net-positive" or "no big deal". Senne has been an administrator without tools long before I came across her. Adminship is not an accomplishment, so I won't say "congrats", but I have confidence she is "ready" to do the job.

General comments

• Long-time editor across various IP addresses, aware that I don't have a !vote here, but... I've sought help on copyright problems I've spotted a couple of times and Sennecaster has been unfailingly polite and helpful, treating me like any other editor rather than "just" an IP or a troublemaker or the like (we have a problem with this here, and, no, me getting an account is not a good solution). On that basis alone, I believe Sennecaster would make a good administrator for the 'pedia. 81.2.123.64 (talk) 18:30, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
