Nomination

Supdiop (talk · contribs) – I started editing wikipedia on 2 March 2015. I nominated new articles for speedy deletion at first and later did a lot of anti-vandalism work. I also participated in AFC. I am requesting adminship because I want to extend my contributions to other important areas of wikipedia. I have been here for 6 months and I got used to the wikipedia culture. I have experience in dealing with vandals and new editors. I created a few articles, mostly geography related. I like to help new editors by making them understand the wikipedia policies.

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia 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 want to mainly work in AIV, UAA, RFP and RFPP. I will rewiew the articles which are tagged for speedy deletion and delete them if they meet the criteria. I patrol recent changes; I will take appropriate action against vandals. I take BLP and copyright violations very seriously and I will warn the violator, if they continue to violate, I will block them to stop further disruption.

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

A: I did a lot of anti-vandalism work, I consider that to be my best contribution. I created 8 articles. I put a lot of effort in creating Moula Ali hill article because its history was different in different sources. I had great difficulty in putting all the things together to make it understanble by the reader. I reviewed many drafts in AFC and helped the creators to make it acceptable.

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, I first edited as an ip before creating this account. My edits were reverted by several editors, I had no idea why this was happening. I thought my edits were being reverted because I am editing as an ip, so I created this account and edited from this account. Again my edits were reverted but this time I got a message on my talk page that I was edit warring. After discussing with the editors on article talk page, I understood that my source was not reliance. I don't like to go into conflicts. Even if I ever go into a conflict, I will try to resolve it with discussion.

Additional questions from Ian.thomson

4. Define your understanding of what constitutes edit warring.

A:Edit warring occurs when two or more editors revert to their own preferred version of a page (several times). If editor reverts more than three times in the same page within 24 hours, they will be blocked from editing, but they can also be blocked if they don't violate 3RR.

5. You said you created eight articles. What are they?

A:1.Paraspori 2.Harda twin train derailment 3.Ramanthapur Lake 4.Moula Ali hill 5.Kapra Lake 6.Safilguda Lake 7.List of ISRO missions 8.Ramakrishnapuram Lake 9.ECIL Bus Station

I thought I created 8 articles.

Additional question from Berean Hunter

6. In this edit summary, you explain that you are not a new editor. What other accounts have you edited under? Please justify the "not new" qualifier as an account from March would certainly be new to most editors.

A:I consider editors with less than few hundred edits and 1 or 2 months of experience as new editors. As I have more than 5500 edits and I am more than 6 months old, I don't consider myself as a new editor. Everybody has their own definition of new, I don't think I will be considered as a new editor. As I mentioned before, I edited as an ip just before creating this account. I never edited wikipedia before that.

7. With this edit, you ask a person to not revert your edits, you will be blocked. Do you feel that not showing details, context or policies that may be relevant is acceptable conduct? TheMagikCow (talk) 13:08, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

8. Given that you intend to fight vandalism, what is the difference between a ban and a block? TheMagikCow (talk) 13:08, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Additional questions from Ian.thomson

9. You have three editors on a page, who we'll call A, B, and C. A has reverted to his preferred version 3 times, and has not cited any policies or guidelines for doing so. B has reverted A once, citing an essay that not only addresses A's edit, but represents community consensus. C has also reverted A twice, likewise citing the same essay. Which, if any, of these editors is edit warring? If none are edit warring, who has come closest to doing so?

A:

10. A WP:TEND WP:SPA has filed a WP:AIV report because Jimbo Wales called the WP:SPA a "fucking dumbass" in a message which the SPA reverted four times. What action do you take, if any?

A:

Oppose

1. I really dont like to oppose but I really cant take seriously a candidate with so short of a term of experience on Wikipedia. Is this really happening? Dont hit me, this oppose vote is mild compared to what others would write, but I suspect this RFA will close soon. —Soap— 11:14, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

   When you're bleeding, do you peel off your bandages and say "stick another knife in me!" Thats what it seems like youre doing. —Soap— 12:07, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

2. WP:NOTNOW- eight months is not really long enough tenure. Reyk _YO! 11:20, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

   See my contributions. My account's age doesn't determine my ability to do admin work. Supdiop (T🔹C) 12:26, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

   But it is an indication of knowledge of policy and experience. TheMagikCow (talk) 13:00, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

3. WP:NOTNOW and not anytime soon. Softlavender (talk) 11:26, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
4. WP:NOTNOW and feel this should be a WP:SNOW. Too few edits and too short a time on WP. TheMagikCow (talk) 12:59, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

General comments

• Comment. It would be better if you withdraw nomination, otherwise this would create problems for your second nomination. You have a clean block log. Your account needs to be two years old.--112.79.36.220 (talk) 13:12, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
