2007-10 admin

Tarmstro99 (talk • contribs)

In addition to working on the ongoing projects listed on my user page and reverting vandalism when I see it, I’ve recently been trying to tackle broader issues across the site, such as connecting unlinked pages to the rest of WS (or identifying new orphans), updating categories, and the like. I’ll continue trying to make useful contributions of that sort in any event, but if the site admins can use another pair of hands (or eyeballs), I’d be happy to assist in that capacity also. Tarmstro99 21:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I was recently looking through Tarmstro99's contribs as a result of the help given during the recent gibberish vandalism spree, and came away thinking this user looks suitable as an admin.
So, to quickly give a more detailed run down ... Tarmstro99 joined in August 2005, with three spurts of activity prior to early 2007, resulting in the addition of "United States Code/Title 17/Chapter 1", "BMG Music v. Gonzalez" and "Lexmark Int'l v. Static Control Components", and starting to work on the categorisation of law cases and improvement of Wikisource:Case law‎.
Since early 2007, new case decisions are added in quick succession, coupled with lots of additions and improvements to United States Code. The first community participation came around March 26 with an interesting note on WS:COPYVIO about possible problems with works covered by {{PD-self}}, and welcoming Usdiplomat (talk • contribs) (sadly that user hasnt been back since the first day of activity), and listing Image:56101.jpg as a copyvio. From that time on, Tarmstro99 has participated in copyvio and proposed deletion discussions at a level on par with established users, and started tackling non-law related issues like vandalism, unlinked texts, fixing and creating author pages, etc, etc. John Vandenberg 00:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Support administrator's flag, but oppose bureaucrat's flag. I wonder if we still need local bureaucrats when all three had the last logs years ago (Tarmstro99 on 2011-05-10, BirgitteSB on 2011-11-02, Zhaladshar on 2012-11-17), but if many other users still support keeping any bureaucrats even with no recent logs, I will respect their thoughts.--Jusjih (talk) 06:50, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
     Comment Tarmstro99 is not a bureaucrat. The third 'crat is Hesperian (log). —Clockery Fairfeld (ƒ=ma) 07:37, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
    Hesperian did have a bureaucrat's log on 2014-04-29. I wonder what Tarmstro99's last bureaucrat log on 2011-05-10 would mean. [1]. Without changing my supporting Tarmstro99's adminship, I will check back next year.--Jusjih (talk) 21:09, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
    I have a bureaucrat log also, also not now or ever a bureaucrat no idea why. Jeepday (talk) 22:57, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
    If I might make a guess, that tool is seeing changes to the "bot user" flag in the user rights log, and wrongly labelling it as a crat action. Hesperian 01:05, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
    If anybody is interested, as confirmed using User:Clockery as guinea-pig, here and here, changing another user's rights is logged this way as well, even though she also has never held the bureaucrat bit here. AuFCL (talk) 01:52, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
    Maybe all userrights changes are logged as bureaucrat actions...? Can't think of anything other than that. —Clockery Fairfeld (ƒ=ma) 05:45, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
    Correct, the toolmaker has collected rights allocations under 'crats' actions. Old tool, and traditionally it was crats who did rights changes when the systems where simpler. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:59, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Abstain —Clockery Fairfeld (ƒ=ma) 07:37, 2 May 2014 (UTC)  Support Looks like he's back. :) —Clockery Fairfeld (ƒ=ma) 15:32, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Abstain - Pushing the limits of "Active" Last admin action 15:40, 30 April 2012; less than 10 edits since July 2013. Unless Tarmstro99 is lurking I have concerns they are loosing touch with trends and community consensus on Wikisource, making it difficult to act as community representative. JeepdaySock (AKA, Jeepday) 14:26, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Support—surely the lad deserves credit for not having made any slip-ups at all during the period? And in any case I don't see any request to resign either. AuFCL (talk) 01:52, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Support — While an account's lack of activity would normally concern me here, history shows he mostly works in 'chunks at a time' - setting up multiple volumes through TarmstroBot first and then goes back whenever he has the time to Proofread within them.

    The last I "heard" from him was he was still stuck locating & scanning all the missing volumes in the U.S. Statutes at Large series. -- George Orwell III (talk) 22:18, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

  •  Support I have absolutely no concerns with Tim's lows in activity. We have never put the bar high for adminship, and is part of why we have no intermediate rights classes. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:59, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

  •  Support based on past performance. Admin has been less active of late, but has not disappeared entirely. BD2412 T 20:26, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
  •  Support --DannyS712 (talk) 20:35, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

  •  Comment @Tarmstro99: You have a single logged action in 2020. Are you still interested in retaining the tools? I'm happy to support that if you do—and there's no pressure to use the tools in any particular way or with any particular frequency—but if you don't actually need them for anything I prefer to minimize the number of user accounts with advanced permissions (to reduce risk of account hijacking and other such technical concerns). --Xover (talk) 07:26, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
     Comment Although I am grateful for the support, I fear that my recent inactivity is likely to continue for at least the next several months. Moving to all online teaching has proven to be a major scheduling challenge. Although I remain very strongly committed to the project of en.ws and will continue to drop in to make progress on my ongoing proofreads as often as possible, I think it’s probably better if I surrender the admin flag for now, subject to possibly reactivating in the future when I am confident of being able to participate more regularly. All best wishes to this terrific community. Tarmstro99 17:30, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
    In that case, thank you for your service. Don't hesitate to ping me if you run into anything that needs tools; and please do request them back when life's general insanity ebbs to pre-2020 levels again. --Xover (talk) 19:02, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
