Izehar

(47/1/1) ending 22:34 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Izehar (talk · contribs) – All around good friend of mine, and perhaps one of the nicest Wikipedians here. I would give him the mop, the broom and the bucket without hesitation, as he has given Misplaced Pages more than 4,000 excellent contributions since October. Help make Misplaced Pages better by making Izehar a sysop, now! εγκυκλοπαίδεια* (talk) 21:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Accepted, with gratitude to Encyclopedist for his kind words. Izehar (talk) 22:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

  2. Support: will be a fine administrator. HolyRomanEmperor 17:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  3. Support: Meets my one standard: Making him an admin would help Misplaced Pages. The absolutely torrid pace of edits doesn't hurt either. —BorgHunter (talk) 22:44, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  4. Strong Support Another I thought he was a admin already --Jaranda 22:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  5. Support. A first rate vandal-hunter. Despite his relatively short time here, he seems familiar with policy, common practice and the Wiki culture. I'm sure he'll make a great admin. Owen× ☎ 23:16, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  6. Strong support - The user's gained a lot of respect from the community because of all her/his contributions and vandal fighting. I believe we will always see more from this user. -- Svest 23:23, 17 December 2005 (UTC)  
  7. Support Maybe I need to start checking Special:Listusers, but I thought Izehar was an admin! SoLando (Talk) 23:28, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  8. Support; I have frequently come across this editor on RC patrol doing useful things and following up on them. Would make a conscientious admin, I think. Chick Bowen 00:13, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
  9. Support - will make an excellent janitor.--File Éireann 00:45, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

  23. Support for good article contributions and excellent vandalism-hunting. David | Talk 11:18, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
  24. Support - because I thought I did an hour ago! And because I've had good interactions with Izehar, who has made good contribs as well as done some good anti-vandal work. jnothman 12:08, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
  25. Support. El_C 12:49, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
  26. Support; unlikely that he will abuse administrator tools. Christopher Parham (talk) 17:12, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
  27. Support Fine, friendly user nominated by fine, friendly user. Has my confidence. Xoloz 18:04, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
  28. Support Daniel Brandt is a two-faced double crossing mongrel, as he just showed today. He didn't appreciate a single frigging thing I did for him, and instead insisted that I'd "prematurely ejaculated" to use his words, and ruined everything. So he can go screw himself. I thought that he of all people would appreciate someone trying to help, but he can't. So forget it. He's a mongrel. Say what you like about him, I won't object. And as for you Izehar, well, you did the right thing and wrote on my talk page, and didn't over-react, so you did your bit. I am sorry that I was so vigorously supporting this guy. I thought that he was just hardly done by. It turns out that he has no honour whatsoever. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 20:17, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
  29. Support. KHM03 22:44, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

  33. King of All the Franks 14:56, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
  34. Support no brainer, great editor.Gator (talk) 19:25, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
  35. Support, of course! A certain boon to the ranks of admins. BDAbramson T 00:37, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  36. Support Strong vandal hunter. A constant feature on AIV. --Syrthiss 14:01, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  37. Support Lectonar 14:12, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

  44. Very Strong Support - My friend Izehar - I'm happy for you! Izehar is one of the users that I like most, he is calm, friendly and a good user. I trust him to be one of the best Administrators. We truely need people like him. Bonaparte talk 16:03, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  45. Support See him on the vandal front often. –Abe Dashiell 21:56, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  46. Support Zocky clearly has it in for this user. You should always annoy at least one troll before being considered for adminship. freestylefrappe 00:23, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  47. Support --Anittas 19:08, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Strong oppose for the failure to deal gracefully with opposing opinions on this page. Zocky 13:47, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
I also raise an eyebrow at the habit of challenging people's votes in the vote list. There's a comments section underneath. Zocky 12:27, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. Neutral. Izehar will certainly make a good admin, I have no doubts about it, but presenting barnstars to the inveterate trolls like Bonaparte is unacceptable, for it encourages them to further trolling. --Ghirlandajo 07:37, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Comments

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 check out Category:Misplaced Pages backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A. I currently spend most of my Misplaced Pages time on RC patrol. I also perform Cleanup Taskforce chores, have responded to Requests for Comment and have participated in Peer Reviews. If promoted, I intend to continue those activities, but to also help clearing out that immense workload on the VfD pages, attending to WP:AIV, WP:RPP and WP:AN/3RR. Izehar (talk) 22:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I am particularly pleased with my work on English law related articles, especially the ones that I've started and almost exclusively contributed to: Partridge v. Crittenden and R. v. Constanza. I'm also particularly pleased with my work on the article on Reform Judaism. I am of course pleased with everything I've done and if anyone would like to check, it is all listed on my userpage. Izehar (talk) 22:34, 17 December 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 how will you deal with it in the future?
A. During my time at Misplaced Pages, I've been fortunate enough not to have found myself in any conflicts nor experienced "wikistress". All content disputes I have been in were quickly resolved with a mutually acceptable NPOV solution with no civility breaches and no petty tantrums. I hope for this to continue, but as I understand, sysop duties will entail a lot of effort dealing with some disturbed and angry users. I intend to keep calm and reasonable and hopefully I'll succeed with the application of the if distressed, walk away from the computer, calm down, then come back rule. Izehar (talk) 22:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
That's hardly true. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 07:27, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Don't troll. NSLE (T+C+CVU) 07:42, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
LOL. I don't know what your definition of troll is, but if you are referring to this one: internet troll, then I think that maybe you should read up on it first. I am merely voicing my opinion. Izehar has got in about 10 or 15 fights with unconnected issues in the past 24 hours. That's hardly "never" is it? Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 13:04, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Evidence, please? Izehar (talk) 13:35, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
