Greetings, I come before you today to ask for the tools for being an administrator. I have been active with this project now for a little over 6 months, and have almost 3,700 edits to my name in that time frame. I am very active in the area of vandal fighting, and the ability to delete bad pages, and issue the blocks as required by current consensus, on vandalism I feel would be a great help to the current admin team. That is, that I can take care of the issues as I see them versus, waiting on a VIP or QD to be performed or either talk page message an admin, or track one down possibly on IRC in cases of severe or on going vandalism. I am also almost always on IRC when I am editing, so I would be able to be reached easily should the need for an admin be immediate. I also participate in most of the RfD discussions, and have done a small amount template maintenance / cleanup work.

Candidate's acceptance: self-nomination

Support

  1. Support - I see no issues here and can happily support enfcer for adminship here! He does quite some good work here and the tools in his hands would surely be beneficial for the community. -Barras talk 18:42, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
  2. Support why not? --Alan (talk) 18:46, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
  3. Support - A capable and competent user, who would be able to effectively use the extra tools. Enfcer has also been active in reporting bullying issues where suppression has been needed. He would be a valuable member of the admin team.--Peterdownunder (talk) 22:14, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
  4. Support – If the user's username was actually "Enforcer", I would suggest he change it. It isn't, and I've never read it as such, so I won't. TCN7JM 03:28, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

  7. Support GeorgeBarnick (talk) 21:56, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
  8. Support I wouldn't strongly support but support. He is active in anti-vandalism and that is good enough. --Reception123/Receptie123 (talk) 15:23, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
  9. Support No problem with the user name -- he/she didn't pick it specifically for being an admin. --Auntof6 (talk) 04:10, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Comments

  • The name might not be the most appropriate name for an admin so I might suggest changing it if you become one. -DJSasso (talk) 18:31, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
    • What's the problem with that username actually? I don't really see a problem with it. Do you think it's too close to enforcer? Which would still be no real problem. Just being curious. -Barras talk 18:46, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
      • Yes, maybe its just how I read it but to me it means Enforcer which would be a really inappropriate name for an admin because admins are not enforcers and it would give the impression that they are. I am not saying they would have to, but it would be a very good idea if they did. On en for example I think it would more than likely sink any chance of them being an admin because it would be a major sticking point in an RfA. Here we are more lenient so its just a suggestion on my part, I wouldn't say no based on it. -DJSasso (talk) 19:01, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
