RuneScape:Requests for adminship/A proofreader

A proofreader
We all know how helpful and active A proofreader is, both on the wiki and the related media. A proofreader is always seeking to improve the wiki in some way, and when not doing so directly, proof is helping others do so. Nearly all of us have had some interaction with A proofreader, yet I can't recall a single conflict that has arisen between proof and another user. Proof is very active (and constructive!) in wiki discussions on the Yew Grove, IRC, and elsewhere. Proof's productivity and savvy (both in the technical aspects of scripting bots and in wiki policy) has led some to claim proof is a robot, and we may never be certain of the truth. One thing is, however, certain: A proofreader is always seeking to improve the wiki's community through discussions, quality through editing and revising (considering the name this is not surprising), and efficiency through scripting various bots (the Image optimisation bot in particular).

With the above in mind, I find A proofreader's request for adminship long overdue. 04:29, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

''I, A proofreader, accept this nomination for adminship. I have read the policies concerning administrators. I realise that this nomination may fail. If I do get community consensus, I promise not to abuse my tools because I realise that this is a serious offence. If the community finds that I have done so, my tools will be revoked, and in extreme cases I could be given a community ban. Signed,'' 04:46, October 9, 2012 (UTC).

Questions for the nominee
1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

Page maintenance, counter-vandalism (including blocking users after the instance of vandalism following  , according to the user block policy; protecting pages for a limited amount of time after they receive vandalism; responding to reports on the Counter-Vandalism Unit; etc.), deleting Speedy deletion candidates, deleting file move artifacts to make way for glitched moves including those in Speedy move candidates, closing Yew Grove threads according to consensus. I do not visit Special:Chat often, but whenever I do, I will help out with chat bans that need to be applied according to the user treatment policy (making this an implicit request for chat moderator).

As for the RuneScape side, I have quit the game, so I will not be available on it.

As for the MediaWiki namespace, I lack experience with JavaScript but have sufficient experience with site CSS, and I will learn more about CSS along the way.

2. What have been your most helpful contributions to the RuneScape Wiki, and why?

I value all of my contributions equally. Whether it be general grammar and spelling fixes, counter-vandalism or my recent bout of applying transparency to files, I feel that each of these things is equally needed by the wiki.

'''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?'''

None that I can recall, as far as talk page conflicts and edit warring are concerned. I do know that I will be under pressure in certain conflicts that I will need to be impartial on, such as edit warring and talk page trouble (such as trolling and flaming). In case I need a second opinion, I will ask someone else to provide more input.
 * After looking at my talk page's history I must mention a conflict with BieberAxeKiller (talk). I resolved it using the same amount of sarcasm as the user used on my talk page. 23:46, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

4. Should this request be successful, which of the following would you also accept: Username highlight; IRC operator; Clan chat administrator?


 * I do not accept the highlight. Having quit RuneScape, I cannot fact-check articles, and I feel that the highlight will place undue credibility on my edits for many users. However, I will revert blatant vandalism where appropriate.
 * I accept the IRC operator tools.
 * I accepted the clan chat administrator tools in a previous RfR. I have quit RuneScape, however.
