Nomination

Anna Frodesiak (talk · contribs) – I'm truly honored to nominate Anna Frodesiak for adminship. I first met her when I was assisting with dispute resolution back at the beginning of 2012, before my own RfA. The way she could have her own ideas yet still consider the opinions of others in those discussions left a strong impression, enough so that I've kept my eye on her ever since, dropping hints about adminship from time to time, even nominating her for Editor of the Week, which she received April 7, 2013. Her metrics speak for themselves: over 60k edits, over half to articles, several years of service, a total of 1416 articles created but they pale in comparison to her sense of fairness, even temperament, dedication and ample common sense. Not only can she be trusted with the admin tools, but she can be expected to do good things with them. Dennis Brown / 2¢ / © / @ 01:19, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Co-nomination

Although we have posted on quite a number of different articles and areas, I don't believe I have ever actually interacted much with Anna Frodesiak except for this and briefly mentioning Anna's possible RfA a while ago. However, I've been well aware of the candidate's excellent work and unbroken editing history for many years - great content contributions and a balanced participation in all areas - extremely polite, friendly, compassionate, and helpful. I know that 'I thought s/he was already an admin' is a clichéd phrase - the question in my mind for a very long time has always been 'Why on Earth isn't this editor with the subtle user name an admin already?' Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:35, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:
I graciously accept. I thank Dennis and Kudpung for the kind words and support. If approved, I cannot promise to be very productive at first as I wish to proceed slowly and cautiously. But, I do promise to be trustworthy. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:09, 17 June 2013 (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: At first, uncontroversial cases of Usernames for administrator attention and possibly Administrator intervention against vandalism. I want to start very, very slowly and cautiously and get feedback to be sure I'm making the right calls. Then I would like to explore more areas where I may be helpful, possibly Requests for page protection being next.
2. What are your best contributions to Misplaced Pages, and why?
A: I like some of the articles I started because they attract a lot of visitors and are reasonably good quality. My favourites are: List of sandwiches, Brevipalpus phoenicis, Maize weevil, Covered Bridge (Cedarburg, Wisconsin), Melon fly, Red palm mite, Plug and feather, and Bridge scour.
I helped to organize the 'Silver Sandbox Affair', a two-month cleanup of a massive creation of inappropriate Chandigarh-related pages. I think we handled it efficiently and comprehensively. (See all archives at User talk:Maheshkumaryadav and a copy of the silver sandbox here)
I helped to organize the Misplaced Pages:School and university projects/NNU Class Projects. A large number of students from China arrived. There was a small panic. We helped to guide them in creating many new articles. The second term was more organized and went smoothly. It was a good learning experience, and I think over 300 articles were created.
I convinced an administrator to unblock an editor. I assisted and monitored that editor who is now very productive. Of all my failed attempts at rehabilitating wayward editors, this case paid off and made it all worthwhile.
I set up Misplaced Pages:Requested articles/Images. Over 100 stubs were probably created from this, and maybe some new, long term users will also be the result.
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: Yes. The Great Dog Meat Fiasco of 2010. I dealt with it poorly because I allowed it to become protracted. This was due to my blindless in identifying the true source of the conflict: the very definition of the subject of the article. I felt it was about the meat. The other felt it was about the dish. Had I identified that as the key, I could have asked for opinions, and the community would surely have decided that it was about the meat. The problem could have been solved at once. I've learned now to really identify the source of the conflict.
The other conflict was over the creation of UFC event articles. I felt that a group of newcomers were being wikilaywered, and I stepped in to defend them. Although many of the articles may have failed WP:EVENT, I thought that the hundreds of millions of page visits carried weight, and that holes in the sequence of articles ill-served visitors. I've since learned to give more weight to essays and to better read up on guidelines before taking a stance. (See: )
Those were the only two editing conflicts, I think.
I had a small disagreement with Tarc when I first started, but have since grown a "thicker skin". :)
As for other users causing me stress, not really. I don't get frazzled very easily.
Optional questions from jc37
In order to help determine whether you meet my criteria (including your knowledge/understanding of policies and processes in relation to the tools and responsibilities that go along with adminship), please answer the following questions.
  • 4. How would you personally determine whether you are involved in any particular situation when deciding whether you should block (or unblock) an editor, and when deciding whether you should protect (or unprotect) a page.
  • A: I would consider myself involved when considering a block/unblock if I had been involved in any type of dispute with that editor. I would look for previous interaction with the editor, the pages he has edited, and even other editors whom he may consider an adversary, but with whom I may have perhaps sided in a dispute. (I would not want to be thought of as having an ulterior motive.) If I had any prior issue with that editor whatsoever (in a non-administrative capacity), I would consider myself involved. To do that, I would search his talk page and its archives, his contribs, and my contribs. If we have edited articles in common, I would consider myself involved if my contribs were anything other than completely non-controversial, eg. minor cosmetic changes, but certainly nothing that was related to any disputed content. An exception to all of this would be if a block would be needed as an emergency measure in the case of clear mass vandalism or copyvios.
I would consider myself involved when considering page protection if I had ever been part of a content dispute at the page in question. Even if I had been part of an unrelated discussion at the talk page or had edited the article it in any way, I would question how "arm's length" I was, and very likely refer it to another admin. I would even consider any past interactions with those involved in any content dispute which was a causing the possible need for page protection. This is because I might have to revert to the last stable version. Despite the fact that "administrators may also revert to an old version of the page predating the edit war if such a clear point exists.", that version may still be disputed, especially if edits trickle in between others over time, and could lead to accusations of bias. As with blocks/unblocks, there are exceptions, such as a flood of IP vandalism or a similar situation that would supersede my being involved.
In general, I would err on the side of caution as the term "involved" may be subject to interpretation. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:04, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  • 5. Please describe/summarise why and when it would be appropriate for you to apply the policy to ignore all rules to a situation, while also explaining the interdependency between being bold and seeking (and/or following) consensus on Misplaced Pages.
  • A: Dear oh dear. I've been racking my brains over this one. Well, I've always had a problem with the term. Maybe it should be IMR (Ignore Most Rules) because we can't ignore all rules (we can't make legal threats, for example). I sometimes IAR when making cosmetic changes to articles. Guidelines say don't do this or that with images, but I sometimes break the rules because it makes the article look better. I do it boldly. If somebody reverts it, citing policy, I will almost always leave it. But sometimes I may seek consensus at the talk page via the guideline that ties those two concepts together: the WP:BRD cycle. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:04, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  • 6. How do you determine consensus from a discussion? And how may it be determined differently concerning an RfC, an RM, an XfD, or a DRV.
  • A: I would determine that consensus has been achieved in a similar manner in all cases in that I must ignore Misplaced Pages:Arguments to avoid in deletion reviews and Misplaced Pages:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, then weigh the strength of the remaining arguments, while bearing in mind that I mustn't be swayed by the volume of !votes one way or another. I would then observe whether or not there has been a dynamic shift during the course of the discussion where an argument has won the day, and most editors are now in agreement. I must ensure that my own personal views are not a consideration, then I can consider if rough consensus has been achieved.
I haven't been involved in DRV, but it seems like consensus would have to be achieved based on asking what has changed since it was deleted and if there were errors in judgement made that resulted in the deletion in the first place. So, those are the things to be focused on, and not the old arguments.
Consensus at RM is easier to achieve I think because of quite clear guidelines in Misplaced Pages:Article titles, in particular WP:COMMONNAME. Arguments based on these guidelines and search engine results (which show hard numbers) seem to carry the greatest weight. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:04, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  • 7. User:JohnQ leaves a message on your talk page that User:JohnDoe and User:JaneRoe have been reverting an article back and forth, each to their own preferred version. What steps would you take?
  • A: For me, step one would be to quickly dig, dig, dig, and that would include looking into JohnQ's contribs. I would assume good faith that he's come to my talk page with this, but sometimes there's more than meets the eye. I would look at what they're reverting over by looking at the history and versions. I would check to ensure that both are following policies and guidelines in the edits they're making.
I would prepare identical talk page messages asking them to stop reverting, making them aware of 3RR (and the possible consequences), and linking to that and the BRD cycle page. Then I would revert to the last stable version of the article with an edit summary saying so. Seconds later, I would post the talk page messages. I would like to do these within seconds of each other so that each editor sees the talk page message and the change to the last stable version without a gap in time. I might even initiate the talk page discussion without prejudice. Just something like a heading "Dispute at section XXX" "There appears to be a dispute happening. Please discuss it here. Seek each other's understanding, keeping in mind that well-thought-out statements and civility wins the day:"
Then I would do follow-up. I would look at contribs and interaction between everyone and examine their talk pages, including old versions to find any deleted posts, and I would check their block log. Further action, if any, would depend on what I found.
Finally, I would monitor their user talk pages, and article talk page discussion and see if they've been observing the BDR cycle. Hopefully others enter the discussion and consensus is achieved. If not, I would consider measures at Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution or possibly an RfC. I might also check their contribs after a period of time to see if they're canvassing or other issues. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:04, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  • 8. Why do you wish to be an administrator?
  • A: I love the project. I want to do my share, and there is a backlog. I also would like to handle things like non-controversial moves over redirect that I normally request from an administrator. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:04, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Additional question from Trevj
9. You approved Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Michael McGlaughlin, which was subsequently deleted. At the time did you note the first deletion discussion (the 7-year gap between article creations is a factor which I appreciate)? How do you think AfC approvers can reasonably strike a balance between reviewing new articles without unnecessary delays and ensuring they are encyclopedic, warranting entries based on notability requirements? Thanks. -- Trevj (talk) 12:18, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
A: I do not think I noted the first deletion discussion, but should have. It was a while back, and if I remember correctly, this was a case from IRC and I was fairly new at working AfC. DGG stated at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Michael McGlaughlin (2nd nomination) that I thought "...Croatia Cleveland, against which he competed, was the national team of Croatia..." and that rings a big bell. I think it was one of the first (and certainly one of the only) sportsperson articles I ever approved. I think when googling for notability I found the team he played for and just assumed it was the national team. After all, how on Earth does a grown man play for a non-national team? How would he get paid? How would such a team make money? Doesn't he have a regular job? Now you can see why I avoid sports articles. :)
After reading the above paragraph this is going to sound strange: I think that due diligence to assure that new articles deserve to enter the mainspace comes first. Not one iota of that due diligence should be sacrificed to avoid delays. We should not approach this as a coefficient of quality of articles and speed of approvals. That leaves us with the issue of addressing the unnecessary delays and that is a separate problem. We should look for creative solutions to replace or augment our current plan of backlog drives (which seems to be a series of temporary fixes to an endless problem). I have suggested possible solutions here:

Thank you for providing such a comprehensive response. -- Trevj (talk) 09:13, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
Additional question from Minimac
10. As one of your intentions was to work in the username department, I would like to ask you a question based on the following usernames. Are any of these four acceptable, even if they intend to edit constructively?
  • Steve Abbot
  • Cumminghome
  • TheRUCST
  • Tomlikesburns
A: When you say "intend to edit constructively" I assume you mean they've edited already. If the name has been brought to Misplaced Pages:Usernames for administrator attention then that should be the case per Misplaced Pages:Usernames for administrator attention/Instructions.
  • Cumminghome googles as http://cumminghome.com/ and even Bassmaster Classic contains it as an external link. If he has made edits that promote that organization, I would immediately softblock the account. If he has made edits unrelated to the organization, I would write to him asking him to change or abandon the username. I would then monitor to see that he has done so. Whether he has continued to use it or not, I would shortly thereafter softblock the account.
  • TheRUCST googles as both "Rotherham United Community Sports Trust" and "Regent University College of Science and Technology". So, as with the Cumminghome case, if he has made edits that promote that organization, I would immediately softblock the account. If he has made edits unrelated to the organization, I would write to him asking him to change or abandon the username. I would then monitor to see that he has done so. Whether he has continued to use it or not, I would shortly thereafter softblock the account.
I hope I got those right. I'm nervous that I've missed something dreadfully obvious. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:38, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
Additional questions from User:Kiefer.Wolfowitz
11. Please summarize your contributions to Suicide of Amanda Todd (and its talk page) and then describe how your contributions there have helped you become qualified to be an administrator. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk • contribs) 21:23, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
A: Summary of contributions:
  • I stubbed it after researching and carefully considering whether or not it would survive the inevitable AfD.
  • I wrote the initial summary of the story according to the YouTube flashcard video.
  • I uploaded the non-free image.
  • I contributed to the basic layout of the article and helped source facts.
  • I transcribed the entire series of flashcards and, with the help of Riley Huntley, carefully proofread it, and posted it as a pastebin transcript for the external links section. It got thousands of views which showed that it was useful to visitors.
  • I further expanded it here and there, but increasingly removed myself from adding content as many others became involved and less new information became available.
  • To summarize my talk page contributions, I would just say that they were many and varied.
Working on and monitoring the article allowed me to see how and when page protection was required. Other than that, I think my contributions to that article were just like those of many of the other editors. I really just did what I normally do: I tried to keep discussions on track and get things resolved. There were many other very good editors there who did a better job. They were really on top of things and made great decisions. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:15, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
12. The abbreviation "A. Frodesiak" of your user name "Anna Frodesiak" suggests "aphrodisiac"? Would you briefly describe its compliance with our WP:Name USERNAME and WP:CHILDPROTECT? For which users would your user-name result in an indefinite block? Kiefer.Wolfowitz 07:57, 18 June 2013 (UTC) 10:39, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
A: I believe it is in compliance with WP:Name because that redirects to Misplaced Pages:Article titles and my username is not an article title. If you meant Misplaced Pages:Username#Disruptive or offensive usernames, it may not be in compliance with the criterion "Usernames that seem intended to provoke emotional reaction ("trolling")." In its defense, the only emotional reaction my username intends to provoke is amusement, and it is certainly did not intended to "troll".
I believe it is in compliance with WP:CHILDPROTECT because my username in no way could be construed as an attempt to "...pursue or facilitate inappropriate adult–child relationships...advocate inappropriate adult–child relationships on- or off-wiki...or identify as a pedophile." In fact, I don't see the connection to children at all.
To answer your second question "For which users would your user-name result in an indefinite block?" I must answer like this: You say "would", so that means certainty, so that means technically that user would have an administrator. If it were a non-admin, then he would have to report my username and there goes your certainty. So, if it was an administrator, he or she would likely be a serious, staunch, deeply religious cleric of some sort, who has no tolerance whatsoever for any tiny hint of anything even slightly naughty, and who has no sense of humour at all.
All joking aside, I must ask honestly, did you just inquire as a wind-up? I ask because the first part redirected me to Misplaced Pages:Article titles, the second part is about children which has no connection to my username at all, and the third part, well, was just bizarre. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:55, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
Awkward but honest question from User:Pedro
13. Kiefer.Wolfowitz has recently been topic banned from threaded conversation at WP:RFA as a condition of unblocking from an indefinite block. A suitable starting point for research is here : perm link. What is your opinion on the indefinite block? What is you opinion on the removal of the indefinite block? And what do you think about the topic ban?
A: Oh dear. What a quagmire. I just spent an hour digging and digging. It's a rabbit hole. It would be unfair of me to cast judgement without reading everything twice, and there's no way I could do that in several hours.
You may say that, as an admin, I would be forced to cast judgement when all other avenues have proved fruitless. I would, but only if forced to, and with discomfort. There are two sides to a story, so any choice to endorse a ban or block etc. would seem partially unjust. That doesn't sit well with me. I would also consider efficiency with time and energy as a major factor, and struggle to discover other avenues.
In this case, my approach would have to be cost-benefit related. First, I would assume good faith by seeing if he is indeed the common denominator, or if others are responsible as well.
If it is apparent that Kiefer is indeed the common denominator, I would aim to communicate with him without arguing, at his talk page, and preferably at no other place at all. I would rightfully praise him for his obvious intelligence and his many, many good edits. But I would also seek his understanding that a thousand posts and a thousand eyes reading them consumes lots of time and energy (The arithmetic must show that all the Kiefer-related time spent adds up to many hundreds of hours.), and that converting that into forgone mainspace building has resulted in a great loss. I would respectfully ask him how he rationalizes this taxing and self-mitigating manner of editing, and how he feels about seeing so many high quality editors drawn away from the mainspace to engage him. I would want to hear what he says about how, in the big picture of why we are all working on this project, this outcome we are seeing is worth it. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:06, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
14. An experienced editor, say with 2 years or so WP experience, with a previously good record of consensus-building and a constructive and positive WP history loses it over a period of (say) 2 weeks. Begins edit warring and begins to make uncharateristically hostile and negative comments on talk pages, edit summary bars etc. The Ed is getting close to WP official sanctions. Would you act by the book or would you adopt another initial course of action initially? I am looking to explore your gut instincts and interpersonal skills and how you would reconcile that with WP procedure. Courses of action you would consider with rationale please. Regards. Irondome (talk) 01:22, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

  23. Support. Everything I have seen from Anna Frodesiak's work on Misplaced Pages was positive, with good interactions and good content work. Fram (talk) 07:28, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  24. Support I have nothing unkind to say about Anna. Even though I used some in an edit summary, I didn't mean them personally and Anna's response was one of humor and grace -- and actually fixed the problem that I only half-fixed. Her talk page is a clinic on AGF and she's done much to lower Wikipedians' average blood pressure. There are not many here who wouldn't stand to benefit from following Anna's good example. Kilopi (talk) 07:48, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  25. Support I can't remember exactly how often I've interacted with this user, if I even have, but from what I've seen, she'll be one of the best admins on the project. The fact that Dennis Brown nominated her says a lot about her competence and attitude to things. Her talk page, as stated above, is a fantastic example - a beacon of kindness. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:53, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  26. Support Every interaction I've had or seen has been positive. --99of9 (talk) 07:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  27. Strongest possible support. I've had this RFA watchlisted for a while, waiting for it to change from red to blue. Anna is an absolutely exemplary Wikipedian, I can't endorse her enough. She's calm, thoughtful, knowledgeable and very smart; she'll be a huge asset to the admin corps. Plus, she has probably the best username and userpage on Misplaced Pages...

  32. Support Anna was one of the first persons I met on wikipedia. She has always been very kind and helpful, so I think she'd make an excellent site administrator. 512bits (talk) 09:32, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  33. Support of course. Anna is one of the few people who are calm and cool all the time. Her statement - "I try to help folks out. I talk to vandals and ask them to behave" should be enough to make me support her. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 09:44, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  34. Support. Anna seems to be everywhere at once, and unfailingly constructive and helpful. Every time our paths have crossed, it has been a pleasure; and I am convinced the mop would be in good hands. bobrayner (talk) 10:19, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

  36. Support No problems here. I've had good interactions with Anna, and also seen how she stays patient and calm where others would be tearing their hair out. I remember being quite surprised when I first discovered she wasn't an admin. Peridon (talk) 11:16, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  37. Support Anna is an excellent editor, and I'm confident that she'll make an excellent admin. Thank you for nominating for this status. Nick-D (talk) 11:46, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

  40. Support - no issues here.Deb (talk) 11:59, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  41. Support While I have only had a few interactions with this editor, I have found them to be not only mature, balanced and level-headed but also quite competent with Misplaced Pages's markup language and knowledgeable of site policies and guidelines. MezzoMezzo (talk) 12:23, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  42. Support Level-headed, well-meaning, cautious. Huon (talk) 13:09, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  43. Support, good impressions. Concerning the question on IAR, I really do not understand why it is so much confusing for many candidates and why everybody seems to involve really outrageous examples like death treats or copyright violations. Start with smth simple, like a non-admin closure of an AfD nomination where the article was already speedied. Anyway, do not use IAR if you do not feel you understand it, and even then only use it with utmost care.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:41, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

  45. Support - A truly neutral unbiased candidate for admin. History of edits show level headed edits from day one. Amit (talk) 14:24, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  46. Support I have known Anna for many years as an excellent editor and always willing to give a helping hand when needed. She is a mature and competent editor who understands wikipedia policies. I'm a bit surprised that she's isn't an admin yet. She has my full support. JoJan (talk) 14:28, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

  53. Speedy keep, er, I mean, Support. I don't have any reservations here. I think her demeanor is perfect for adminship, and her thoughtful answers to the questions here show that, I believe. ~Adjwilley (talk) 16:11, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  54. Support - The first sentence of 6A concerns me, but my hope is that it's merely due to the compound/complex nature of the sentence not conveying the candidate clear enough. For example, ignoring WP:AADD-typified comments is not a "must". It's more that that page is mostly about reinforcing that discussions are WP:NOTAVOTE, among other things. And we rely on closer discernment in weighing the comments of the commenters in the discussion as well as appropriate and applicable policy and guidelines. - All that aside, I liked the responses to the questions, in particular the first section of 7A. This is a clear Support. Though I vaguely recall the name, I'm wondering how I haven't run into the candidate before more, in discussions : ) - jc37 16:14, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

  63. Support - May as well speedy promote her. I can't imagine seeing too many valid opposes. Kumioko (talk) 17:45, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  64. Support I see about 1 or 2 good canidates for Adminship a season. This is easily one of them. buffbills (talk) 17:52, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  65. Support. I know from personal observation that this is an outstandingly qualified candidate. (On a trivial note, I've actually worked with this candidate before on some edits where she already, um, mopped up. Also relatively trivially, I'm always happy to see more female administrators.) --Tryptofish (talk) 17:54, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

    (No comment on what 207 said.) Well, actually, you raise a good point, in that I myself advocate not making assumptions about anyone's gender. I based it on the user name, and on the pronouns used by the nominators. Anyway, it's really a side-issue to this RfA. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:45, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

  97. Support - I've collaborated with this editor to improve list articles (see my Article collaboration page) and was impressed with their positive approach and ability to improve articles. In the process, I've noticed several times on this person's talk page and in other areas where they have worked to provide useful, functional advice to users and instances in which this editor has acted as a mediator to resolve minor disputes, which served to prevent more significant disputes from occurring. Tossing the mop to this editor, which appears inevitable, will only serve to improve English Misplaced Pages. Northamerica1000 07:19, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
  98. Support -- very easy call. --Stfg (talk) 08:37, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
  99. Support. You are a very strong candidate and I think you have a great attitude. Start with the easy reports at UAA when you get the block button - username stuff on this wiki can be surprisingly complex. Re Q10, note that there is no need to block or even warn people about promo names if they are completely unrelated to the companies/entities in question. e.g., I should not be asked to relinquish my name "NTox" if there is a store somewhere called that, unless I specifically created the name to represent that store. NTox · talk 08:40, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
  100. Support I've had "email Anna Frodesiak about running for adminship" in my to-do list for a few weeks now. I've seen Anna active in a variety of places: #wikipedia-en-help on IRC where she has often helped newbies, AfC where she is generally helpful reviewing AfC drafts. Regarding AfD, Anna is willing to argue for her own articles to be deleted when they fail to conform to policy (which is very commendable if rare). At AfD, I have seen that she is willing to argue for creative solutions to notability issues, and willing to change her mind when presented with evidence that contradicts her previously stated opinions. She seems to call things as she sees them rather than approaching deletion discussions with a set opinion (inclusionism! deletionism! etc.). On controversial deletion discussions, I've seen her act in ways to ensure that Misplaced Pages conforms to BLP. She consults the community when unsure about sourcing. She is somewhat active on vandalism patrolling and makes reports to WP:AIV, and I haven't seen any issue with her vandalism reports. She seems eminently qualified for adminship—give her the damn mop already. She'll make a fabulous contribution to the administration of the site. —Tom Morris (talk) 08:56, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

    I'm not trying to start anything. I no longer care enough to get embroiled in anything. All I'm saying is that you need to look into the mirror before criticizing the Princess of Misplaced Pages.

    Everyone benefits by looking into the mirror, ASO. (You, me, everyone.) But to accuse of hypocrisy in my !vote comments is something different -- a specific accusation. Please watch your tongue. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 03:21, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
  140. Support. Oh hell yeah ;) s'about time Anna! -- œ 04:40, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
  141. Support Outstanding candidate. Astonishing range of interests and articles created on scholarly topics, especially biology topics. I have observed her anti-vandalism work several times where the knowledge of technical topics really helps to spot tricky edits by a clever vandal. Wide range of experience. Great demeanor. Has provided help and counseling to editors. We won't find many candidates who have contributed so much to the project and who have so many attributes we all would like to see in an administrator. Donner60 (talk) 05:49, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
Oppose
  1. Oppose While the candidate may have been a good content creator in the past, I can't really see much evidence that they would be a good arbitrator in user disputes and must therefore oppose on those grounds. I am happy to alter my vote should someone provide evidence to suggest my views are misplaced. ★★RetroLord★★ 11:02, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
    I'm not sure where Anna indicated she wanted to arbitrate user disputes, plus administrators do a lot more than just that. Legoktm (talk) 11:05, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
    What Legoktm said, plus: multiple editors above have commented on the good interactions they had with Anna Frodesiak, even when on different sides of a dispute (e.g. the MMA debates). Fram (talk) 11:33, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
    Dealing with contentious issues is why I noticed her in the first place. You don't have to go further than her talk page archives to see how she deals with people. This exactly why everyone here knows her. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | © | WER 11:37, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
    I've not found any work resembling arbitration, but am happy to point out that in connection with a difference of opinion regarding procedures, the candidate's reasons were courteously explained in an appropriate manner. I'm now offering my support above. -- Trevj (talk) 12:53, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
    I actually think that focusing on key issues and building consensus is one of this editor's core strengths. But, views can differ and the !vote is a reasonable one. --regentspark (comment) 17:38, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
    In reply to Retrolord's query, I find this discussion at ANI took a dramatic turn for better results after Anna included her remarks. The entire NNU class project is an attribute to her calm and confident participation coupled with her ambitious drive to achieve the best of possible outcomes. She worked harder and longer than any other participant to ensure the best was achieved. :) John Cline (talk) 05:05, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
  2. Oppose. At first glance, her answer to Pedro's question lacked perspicacity and self-control, qualities needed in a competent administrator, who does not reignite old conflicts when trolled. At a closer reading, her answer proposes a cost-benefit analysis of blocking decisions, which would be a revolutionary change in WP policy. The "jee willackers" interjections just look like silly affectations, especially here. She has not a word about the abusive behavior of administrators like The Rambling Man or administrator/trolls like Pedro, etc. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 05:54, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
Neutral
  1. Neutral leading to Support Overall, not bad answers to Q10. Although most of them are correct, some of those answers are completely different to what I'd come up with, and there is one for which I would block straight away instead of making a decision whether to edit or not. Interestingly, I didn't realise that Cumminghome was actually a website. I thought it was regarded as a borderline disruptive username. Apart from that, you can certainly be trusted with the tools, and fortunately this vote isn't going against the vast majority of supporters. Minima© (talk) 06:28, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
    I like Anna's answers. I personally feel an immediate block is only appropriate for blatantly obvious trolling like "jimbosucksweiner". From my experience of new accounts with company names, which turn up on the AFC Help Desk all the time, I feel they tend to be more naive than malicious, so I'd prefer to go easy on them. Soft block, and hope they don't leave. Ritchie333 10:02, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
  2. Neutral. Anna Frodesiak is a great editor, but has little experience in admin-related areas. Unconvincing reasons for adminship. Axl ¤ 11:10, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
    I always have trouble with this kind of argument. She is presently an editor and a great one. She does lack Admin experience as she is not yet one. She will gain Admin experience after she becomes one. For now she is a gifted editor with potential. Ret.Prof (talk) 12:19, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
    That's irrelevant to my statement. Axl ¤ 13:00, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
    Comment In theory 99.9% of editors wanting to (or especially being nominated to, as is the case here) RfA are inexperienced in Admin areas, including the use of the actual tools. One grows with experience, and the fact that she is going to be cautious at first with the tools says a lot. Jguy Talk 21:19, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
    Quite. The real question is, would Anna make a net positive contribution if she could block a single vandal, for instance? The answer is a clear yes. If Anna makes mistakes in other areas of adminship, then we can all work together to improve those, once we get up and running. Suggesting she's an unconvincing candidate is a little bizarre. She's a long-term contributor who has a clue. If you're worried about esoteric areas of adminship, let us know, and perhaps Anna can assuage your concerns?

  3. Neutral. For this. (What's wrong with that response? It was just light humor, right? And those two editors were being jerks and wasting everyone's time in trivially bickering, right? And no one complained, right? And other editors and admins have already accepted in this culture they can order one another to "grow up" when they feel like it, right? Or compare editors to children when they want, right? Because it's funny and harmless, right? So we don't need to think about it, we can just do it as our first-chosen response we want to do, right? And Ihardlythinkso is just bitching about nonsense and being annoying with all that "accepted culture" stuff and asking us to think about things we don't care to, because nobody else does, right?)

    It's nurturing advice; with plenty of metaphoric contrast. I hope the candidate retains the entirety of her personality and style. :) John Cline (talk) 02:12, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
    Sounded fine to me. We have an authentic Chinese intellectual woman with a rural heritage with all her proven and greatly-attested interpersonal and humanitarian strengths and a great track record in article creation and improvement; and if pushed, that is what she says. Sweep up and reflect! NOW that would make a refreshing and useful addition to the admin community! And on WP English..A joy. Irondome (talk) 02:47, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
