Nomination

Hahc21 (talk · contribs) – Saluts. I have been a Wikipedian for over four years now and active since for almost a year now. I know self-noms usually have a low success rate, but after some encouragement from other users, I decided to write my own RfA. I joined the English Misplaced Pages back in March 2008 after an unsuccessful and lackluster time working on nowhere-to-go projects on the Spanish Misplaced Pages, and started to work here constantly since mid-2011. I also like to work on other Wikis from time to time, mainly the Spanish, Italian and Portuguese Wikipedias, since I am knowledgable in all of those languages.

I spent most of the time since March 2008 to mid-2011 reading the policies, getting used with how Misplaced Pages works and watching the GA process. I constantly work on music related articles, and i'm a member of the Wikiproject Latin America Latin American Music Task Force. I have also worked on other areas such as New pages patrolling, fighting vandalism, and correcting grammatical errors with AWB. FWIW, I'm a graduate of the CVUA (and now instructor). —Hahc21 22:17, 7 July 2012 (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. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

A: I will mainly work at Article for Deletion and the other deletion processes, as well as on page protect requests. As I already have rollback and file mover rights, I will still do the work I'm used to doing with said tools. I have not much experience at ANI, but may also like to work there.

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

A: My best contributions on Misplaced Pages are Ricardo Arjona-related articles, as well as some other works on music. I have been invovled as a constant reviewer at WP:GAN and recently coordinating the 2012 June-July drive along with Wizardman. I work a lot there and help in anything I can. I have also worked constantly on template creation, such as {{BillboardID}} and {{Albumchart}}. Overall, I have created more than 50 articles and collected 4 GAs, 5 DYKs and a pending FL (Ricardo Arjona discography). The work I am most proud of would be: Ricardo Arjona, Independiente (Ricardo Arjona album), Ricardo Arjona discography, List of works of J. J. Benítez, {{Albumchart}} and Somebody That I Used to Know.

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 have been in some minor conflicts over editing myself, and actively involved in disputes regarding other users. One of them happened recently and involved some admins and some users, who were blocked for edit warring and some other reasons. It lasted for days and made me reach ANI with a report that brought many encountered feelings about several policies. Eventually, the issue was solved and all went back to normal.

Additional questions from Status

4. Are there any areas of administrative work you have little intention of taking part in, and for what reasons?

A: I will be always open to work on any administrative area when i feel completely ready. I have no intention to work yet on CSD and Blocking users since i'm still developing my knowledge base in relation to those two areas. Also, as i fell those areas might only be worked when you are completely confident of your actions and the consequences it may take on the community, i think it's better to work on them later.

5. In the event that someone alleges that you are abusing your administrator power, what will you do?

A: Difficult question. That depends if the claims are founded or not. Either way, I might study the case form an outside perspective and evaluate my actions to see if I really abused, or being less critic, mistakenly did something beyond the usual behavior for such situation (whatever it might be). As I always look everything from a neutral perspective, it may be easier for me to evaluate such situations, although I'm pretty sure I will hear those claims often, as any admin does.

Support

1. Support – Outstanding editor who is qualified and trustworthy. Statυs (talk) 22:49, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Oppose

1. It's hard to believe that I'm opposing someone on the basis of relative inexperience, but it seems as if this RfA may have been a bit rushed. Hahc21, I think you have the potential to be a great admin someday. My advice is to wait a few months time and continue to be active in places like AfD and RFPP, so that you'll be more experienced and have developed a better understanding of those processes and their associated policies. After that, I have no doubt I'll support you. Good luck! =) Master&Expert (Talk) 23:14, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Neutral

1. I lean too early. I think they do excellent work from what I've seen... but major edit history began only in April. They do great content work and have been very helpful at GAN which are points in their favour. --LauraHale (talk) 23:03, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
2. Neutral I'm a little worried about being out of consensus 32% of the time at AFD, and that you didn't even participate at AFD until recently so this is pretty recent stuff. What worries me most is that fully half of your total English contributions came last month, 5,152 out of your total 10,191, and literally 95% of your edit total is since March. This gives me pause, so having to stay neutral until I can look deeper at your contribs, and the contribs on the other wikis. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 23:08, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
