Voice your opinion (12/1/0); Scheduled to end 00:00, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Feydey (talk · contribs) – He has been a great well-roudned editor since arriving in March of 2005. Especially active in copyright issues (which he could do an even better job if he were an admin), he has over 15000 edits with a great balance between mainspace, wikispace, and talk edits. He is active in many Wikiprojects as well as in XfD, and I have no reaon to believe he would not make a great admin. Wizardman 19:40, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept, thanks Wizardman for the nom. feydey 00:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I started out 2005 in wikipedia working on NP, general article editing, voted on Speedy deletion criteria, participated on VfDs and CPs. In 2006 moved to fighting vandalism; participating in wikiprojects, portals and working with NIs; as participation to NP and Afd decreased (and mutated to XfD !voting). Started using AWB, popups, and engaged in RC patrolling. Throughout my wikipedia time I have contributed images here and to commons. Lately I've been creating geographical articles, Great Craggy Mountains being the last. I'm content with my articles (see below) and patrolling RC for User, Portal pages vandalism and tagging new images.

I believe, that in every situation/conflict, friendly discussion is the key to resolving conflict, by pointing to applicable guidelines and policies; whenever that fails, the solution is to consult others. I will try to resolve them to the satisfaction of both parties. I will thrive to improve and maintain Misplaced Pages according to the rules created by the consensus of the community.

My RfA slogan :D 

You damned fools. You can either vote for me for mayor or you can go to hell. John Wentworth

(the previous quote is meant to be humorous, and users should AGF, not NAM, nor quote other acronyms and NPA the candidate for this)

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 do you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Misplaced Pages backlog and Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: I expect to close backlogs in CP, CSD especially those involving images; and less XfD's . I am prepared to protect (semi, full) articles and templates if needed (f. ex. the recent vandalism relating to FAs on mainpage). Also with the tools I would be able to delete duplicate images, instead of burdening CSD. I'll be blocking vandals spotted on RC (avoiding Quatar's IP), and intend to assist at WP:AIV.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: Writing historical articles like Great Flag Debate, biographies like Norman Lloyd, creating lists like this, contributions to WikiProjects like Canada collaboration, WP:BOOKS and its subpage WP:BOOKS/Non-fiction article, maintaining and getting Portal:Literature to FP status (and maintaining several other portals, like Portal:Beer), also my first article Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra still looks good. For my major contributions and edits see my user page.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you believe other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A: No I haven't, seriously, there have been rare conflicts, a recent one, a) my rm of text was rv, I questioned it on the talk page, and resulting in a thinking period, and then this. B) on ext. links and copyrights here. My involvement with new uploaded images and related issues has meant that I got my fair share of insults. They don't create stress and how can I take them personally when I don't know them personally!? For images related discussions (see my talk archives; like archive 2) relating to (fair use) image uploads see for example this. I have been annoyed by the user page attacking vandals and in the future will continue to warn and report them (and if sysoped also then block). I'm not involved in articles that come into conflict e.g. Armenian Genocide etc., so I haven't been in any lengthy debates (reason for a low mainspace talk count).
I have made mistakes, but I rarely make the same mistake twice.


Optional questions from Iced Kola

4. Under what circumstances would you place a longterm or indefinite block on an expierenced editor?
A: Depends on the situation and editor. feydey 00:27, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
5. If you encounter a dispute in which users are being incivil torwards each other, how will you try to make everyone remain civil and follow the dispute resolution process?
A: Concentrate on the issue and try to resolve the dispute by involving other users. feydey 00:27, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Optional question (or questions) from —— Eagle 101

6. As Misplaced Pages grows, and its search engine ranking increases, this is causing some people to use Misplaced Pages for search engine optimization, and to generally promote their website. Spam has almost doubled in little over 2 months. This information was derived from watching Linkwatcher's (IRC bot) output as it sits in #wikipedia-spam, a channel on the freenode IRC network. The core policies and guidelines dealing with spam are WP:SPAM, WP:EL, and WP:RS. An open ended question, what is your view on how severe spam is, and why? What is the purpose of External Links? Should we be allowing every myspace, youtube, blogspot, ect links into Misplaced Pages, Or should our standards be a bit higher then that? If so, how high?
A: No easy answers here i guess. I have little idea how severe spam on WP is. Should we be examining these issues more? feydey 01:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Optional questions from 219.75.39.68

7. How much pay do you expect from wikipedia?
A: Whatever Bill Gates gets. 219.75.39.68 You had questions or was this a copy/paste thing? feydey 01:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

  2. Support. A good catch, Wizardman. =) Although, I would like to see more editing as admin. Misplaced Pages will now be your life. So, you must now maintain an average of 250 edits per day, and no AWB cheating like Rich Farmbrough. Nishkid64 00:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
  3. Yay! Definitely. :):):):):)JorcogaYell! 00:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Oppose - Like 99% of our fair use policing admins you police the fair use but don't know our FUC thoroughly your self, I also worry with the possibilities of you going rogue (I've watched it happen to much when supporting fair use policers). thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 00:13, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
    Proof? Jaranda 00:16, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
    Making stereotypical assessments of users isn't really helpful here. Can you elaborate? Nishkid64 00:17, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
    You mean rouge. -- Renesis (talk) 00:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
