RfP scheduled to end at 7 December 2012 23:26 (UTC)

While being here for some time, I found out that sysop access is very helpful on this wiki. I'd like to do maintenance tasks (deletions of duplicates/nonsense (also my own mistakes), fight against spam bots, …) and I want to help to correct minor mistakes in Lithuanian language in the mw namespace with these tools. Additionally I'd like to become translation admin for marking page revisions for translation. I'm highly interested in this wiki (especially the infobox data phase) and I'm glad to help this wiki growing. Thanks in advance, --Vogone (talk) 23:26, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  1.  Neutral - like I already mentioned in chat - you have been working great - but we already have so much admins and the work you would do is done by the already elected admins more than sufficient. I could imagine another candidature after the reelections. Regards, Lukas²³ talk in German Contribs 00:01, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  15.  Oppose – I've seen at least two instances in recent days of this user making petty reverts [1] [2], and marking them as minor. I guess the second one was technically correct (although I question what good could possibly have come from it), but edit-warring on the Main Page whilst pointing out that another item ID was overlinked is unforgiveable. Vogone probably would do a lot of good as an admin, but if he drove away other contributors along the way, granting the tools would not constitute a net positive. Therefore, we should not grant the tools unless and until we devise a workable way of removing them. —WFC— 10:17, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    With the first revert you mentioned I just wanted to show that another item is also double linked and I didn't consider my change as wrong. Then Delusion23 has also noticed this and has removed all double links. There was no real edit-war as far I can see and I have also explained my change in the edit summary. The second revert was also not wrong because it was forbidden to edit the poll. If I made a mistake you can mention it, I have no problem with this. Kind regards, Vogone (talk) 11:52, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I appreciate your response. As I explain below, I disagree as far as the first edit is concerned. But as I also explain below, I accept that there will be differing opinions on this, and respect that you genuinely believe you have done nothing wrong. Regards, —WFC— 14:52, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  16.  Support Why not? Contribs seem quite good. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 16:52, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • IMO, i dont think WFC's above concern is a Edit war, the candidate undid that with edit summary (Are you saying that undoing with edit summary is considered as edit war?). If he did that after this edit that may be an edit war. and //we should not grant the tools unless and until we devise a workable way of removing them// No worries my friend, if there is consensus to remove the flag means always m:stewards are there to remove the flag :)--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 12:24, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    One, an incident involving a page which will undoubtedly be protected one day is certainly relevant, particularly during RfA week. For me, if you are reverted, have the opportunity to discuss, and choose instead to revert, that's edit warring. I'm not saying that I have never done likewise – what I will say is that on every occasion (on en.wiki) I did so over an issue that I was prepared to risk a block over. Two, unless we have a firm policy on desysopping, any request to desysop someone would be chaotic and dramatic in equal measure: even then, it is likely that the stewards would refuse to act until the community put in place a procedure for desysopping. I respect your differing opinions, but stand by mine. —WFC— 14:02, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reply WFC. IMO, i don't think we should use talk page for the small undo's like this one, edit summary is enough. anyway let's wait for the other community members decision--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 14:29, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
@WFC: I respect your opinion but where is the revert of my undo? This is completely different from this (before my edit). Additionally I haven't used rollback at any time as Shanmugamp7 already mentioned. Only undo + edit summary which was obviously understood by User:Delusion23. I still can't see the problem with this edit. I'm sorry. :/ Vogone (talk) 14:55, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
