Droll

2006-02 admin (withdrawn)

I would like to ask if I could be made and admin. As you know I have contributed to Wikisouce over some time now and in a substantial way. Also, I believe I have something special to offer since I have a BS in computer science and experience in Information Systems. Thank you for you consideration --Droll 22:49, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• Support, but while I check your edit counts at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~kate/cgi-bin/count_edits , it will be much better if you make more useful edits at project pages (those prefixed "Wikisource:") or their talk pages to show your understanding of policies here.--Jusjih 07:41, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: You say that you have something 'special' to offer as an administrator without specifying what that is; do you have any goals as an admininistrator, any projects that would be aided by adminship? —{admin} Pathoschild 17:12, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Support. Responsibility and good taste proven through hundreds of positive improvements to author pages, plus a good number of actual texts. Dovi 19:20, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Support - Has been working here well for some time. AllanHainey 13:20, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Support - Keep up the good work!--BirgitteSB 16:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Moderate support - my only nit-pick is that Droll doesn't get involved in community-wide, general discussions. He has, however, done a fantastic job with a lot on the maintenance/housekeeping side.—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 00:25, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

• Neutral— I have no doubt that Droll is a good contributor to Wikisource, but I'm a little apprehensive about adminship. His tone in recent comments on my talk page² was unnecessarily agressive and possessive. Although he apologized when I pointed this out, I've seen similar attitudes lead to too many conflicts and problems on Wikipedia.

  Droll has almost no edits to the project namespaces^[1], which may indicate either a lack of knowledge of Wikisource's policies and guidelines or a lack of project participation. He also appears to have been completely unaware of recent discussions at the Scriptorium²; I feel that being aware of recent changes and events is critically important for an administrator.

  With unanimous support from other users, I have no doubt Droll will be granted adminship. However, I hope he will consider the points I've brought up here and improve them as he sees fit to do so. —{admin} Pathoschild 06:08, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

• I have decided to withdraw my nomination. I would like to thank those have supported me. I want to assure everyone that my reasons are personal and not related to anything to do with Wikisource. I will still be around. Thanks again.
  • The nomination cannot be withdrawn unless the user is signed in and withdraws the nomination. It's the only proof we have that this request is coming from the actual user.—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 04:43, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
