Joshbuddy

Discuss here (28/3/2) ending 20:17, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Joshbuddy (talk · contribs) – Joshbuddy has been all around Misplaced Pages for quite a while now. People may know me for Tawkerbot2 but Joshbuddy was the mastermind who came up with most of the idea, I just got to handle the talk page madness (the nice rough start we had). Joshbuddy has been around AfD's, mediated a few disputes, made some great contribs and could use the tools. With no further ramblings, I hereby nominate Joshbuddy for adminship and I hope you'll raise your edit button and join me :) -- Tawker 20:17, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Throwing in a co-nom, not that Joshbuddy particularly needs it :)--Shanel 20:23, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh wow, sure I accept! joshbuddy 20:35, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Support
  1. Strong Support - as nominator -- Tawker 20:21, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
  2. Strong Support - Pending answers to questions, although I imagine he would make a wonderful admin. Good luck with it! HawkerTyphoon 20:23, 19 June 2006 (UTC) Edit: Having seen answers, changed support ot strong
  3. Support. I've talked to the user on the antivandalism channels, very polite and thorough! ~Kylu (u|t) 20:42, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
  4. Support no question on my mind. -- Drini 21:38, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
  5. Strong support, of course. --Rory096 21:44, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
  6. Support --Ixfd64 22:05, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
  7. Support Would make a great admin. Wizrdwarts (T|C|E) 22:08, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
  8. Support per Wizrdwarts. --Shizane 22:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

  13. Support a little bit too low on the edit counts, but for the developers we obviously should have different requirements. If he could do something with the open proxies it would be great (do you need check user privileges for this?) abakharev 23:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Oppose
  1. Weak Oppose While he has a good record, he hasn't been around for a very long time. I like my admins to have at least a year under their belts.Nezzadar 00:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
  2. Oppose. I'd like to see a year of experience, as well. Also, I'd like more namespace edits. SushiGeek 03:10, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
  3. Unhappy Oppose I trust Tawker, but you're well below my amorphous editcountitis standards. - CrazyRussian talk/email 03:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
    Gee, I thought edicountis was a bad thing :o - Thanks for the trust though. May we assume the above is an "weak" oppose? -- Tawker 04:04, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Neutral
  1. Your signature makes me want to leap down the DSL line and do something drastic. robchurch | talk 00:04, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
    You know what, you're completely right. My sig is dumb. Multiple line heights drive me nuts. I don't know why I ever thought it was cool. I've since fixed it. joshbuddy, talk 00:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
  2. Seems to have the skills and mindset to be an admin, but the low Misplaced Pages namespace editcount makes me hesitate. The best way to get an intimate knowledge of policy is to fight down in the trenches in AfD, CfD, or something like it. AdamBiswanger1 04:25, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Misplaced Pages in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Misplaced Pages backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: Well, I've had a lot of fun helping with the open proxies (via programming assistance) and wikifing articles. Anything I can leverage my bot programming talents on is great for me, but otherwise I think i'd be quite content helping out with VIP, getting my hands deep in the drudgery of category sorting and splitting, and anything else that looks fun.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I'm proud of the ongoing work I've done in Jehovah's Witnesses. I'm pleased with the work I've done with both Tawkerbot and Tawkerbot2, and the immense learning experience that comes with having written all of this software.
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 how will you deal with it in the future?
A: There have been tense moments with various editors in the past. Incivility causes tension. I've made every effort to AGF, and in the future would certain do so. I think I would strive toward being gentler and kinder, but then again, that seems like an obvious destination for everyone.

Optional questions:

Dealing with frustration
You buy a dozen eggs. One of them is broken. Do you:
A. Eat eleven eggs,
B. Go back to Wal-Mart and pitch a fit about it,
C. Locate and kill the chicken, or
D. Other (please explain)
Role model
Who is your favorite superhero, comic-book or otherwise, and why?
Issac Asimov, because in his books, everyone is equally intelligent.


Naming conventions
What are your views on parenthetical disambiguation?
Its the current guideline. I think its fine.

Tricky Vandalism Reverts
A new user with infinite patience and the most wonderful enthusiasm makes a minor edit against WP:MoS, and keeps re-making the edit, apolgising to everyone in turn. They won't listen to the community, and won't listen to your requests to stop making the edits. However, the user is not trolling, merely making the same edit, over and over and over again. How much patience do you give them - and how do you resolve the situation? HawkerTyphoon 23:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
This sounds like the kind of editor that wikipedia should retain. First, a warning about the 3RR rule. If it persists, a short block with some useful information on their user talk page would be appropriate. Be kind. Misplaced Pages is daunting and at times byzantine. It can take time to become familiar with the culture and guidelines of wikipedia. I suppose, in short, work with this user. If the behaviour persists, and the user completely refuses to discuss, then this sort of behaviour is disputive to the wiki, and it must be stopped.
In terms of how much patience to show, it depends on how the user reacts to efforts to assist them. If they are willing to listen, I feel lots of patience can be shown. If the user becomes incivil and hostile, less grace is required. joshbuddy 00:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
