RuneScape:Requests for adminship/ElfAnurin

ElfAnurin
ElfAnurin has been a very helpful editor on the wikia. Everytime I and other members see a vandal, it is reverted by ElfAnurin. The contributions are as great as ever and the most images are always up-to-date all by this one wikian. Certainly one should deserve admin status. 14:00, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

''I, ElfAnurin, accept this nomination for adminship. I have read the policies concerning administrators. I realize that this nomination may fail. If I do get community consensus, I promise not to abuse my powers because I realize that this is a serious offence and if the community finds that I have done so, my powers will be revoked and in extreme cases I could be given a community ban. Signed,'' 15:11, 7 June 2009 (UTC).

Questions for the nominee
1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in? - I watch the recent changes looking for vandalism. When I suspect that a vandal can do more harm to the RuneScape wiki then I will block them for a period of time. I will often check for reported vandals in the RS:CVU (where I reported a lot already). The quicker a vandal gets stopped, the better. Furthermore I look after images and pages that need to be deleted and would like to fix problems that are reported. I also tend to continue my activity on the Yew Grove.

2. What are your best contributions to the RuneScape Wiki, and why? - Tool Leprechauns. KIDDING (although it took me hours). Lol ok, well.. As part of the Image Maintenance Team I have helped (and still help) with updating of hundreds of images. I activly participate in improving new quest guides with information (Sorry to all ppls .jpeg images that I replace but guys, please save them as .png to prevent that.). Ummmm.. what else.. Oh! Welcoming users. After welcoming them I still watch the edits on their pages and support them and other users on the wiki with improving of their editing. I also make a lot of news updates for the mainpage. Now it seems to take me a while before I get this question answered.. I just think that I contributed a lot and everything of my 3,000 edits in the past 10 weeks are improving the wiki. Overall all my edits are, for me, my best edits. It's just that some are more time consuming then the other..

'''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?''' - There have been 2 minor conflicts that got solved after some talk. If in the future another conflict occures I will explain my edit on a users talk page and then we can probably find an agreement.

Discussion
Support - As nominator. 14:05, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Weak Oppose - You are a good anti-vandal, but (correct me if I am mistaken) you haven't been here all that long, and I am just a bit unsure if you are admin material. Sorry. Also not a lot of major page contribs.14:10, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - I think that you are a very good contributor. However, just by taking a quick look through your contribs, I found assumptions of bad faith, such as believing that a test edit is vandalism, and abuses of the undo button. In addition, you tried to copyright your talk page, which shows lack of understanding of our GFDL license. Again, I think you are a very good contributor, but not quite ready for adminship just yet.

 * How are these test edits? The IP just plain deleted content from an article. How are these undo's  abuse? I undid an edit because it's wrong. (GE price indicated that it was sold on GE and you can't "make" a clean herb (In a later edit I described it better)). And about the copyright, ofcourse I know it isn't really copyrighted. I had discussed that with Bonzii already and it was only ment to prevent ppl running away with my design that I made myself without saying a thing. (I put it there after that happened ) I have already adjusted that © message. I read all comments directed to me and use them to improve myself on and for the wiki. It isn't said that you are ready for getting a driver license because you can't drive a car without having lessons. But I got my lessons with hitting a couple traffic cones, and I'm ready for the license. Some final instructions?  15:45, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I am assuming that you are trying to help, but please remember to assume good faith before saying something is vandalism. For, he didn't put anything purposefully scandalous. For all we know, he could have been testing to see how the edit button works. By assuming good faith, we assume the best; that it was simply a practice edit. However, you responded with.


 * As for the undoes, it's not wrong to revert edits; it is wrong to not provide explanation, per H:RV. As for, that's not wrong; shorts can be purchased on the Grand Exchange (personally, I would have left it there, but that's beside the point); however, you simply undid it without explanation. Same with ; that information is correct, and someone inexperienced with herblore would probably really like to know that.


 * The copyright thing is demonstrating more to me than simple lack of understanding of GFDL; from your reply, it's misunderstanding the purpose of a wiki; you do not "own" material you put on it, as we are all working together.


 * ElfAnurin, I don't hate you; I am just working for the best of the wiki. Given what administrative tools are for, it is critically important that one assume that we are all working to help the wiki. I think that you have good potential and that, in the future, you may be a good user of admin tools, but I think there are still some things to be corrected before you receive them.

 * Ok thanks for the input. I'll put more info in the edit summary from now on. But I never reported that penguin case to the CVU. I only gave a warning. 19:12, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose I have concerns about ElfAnurin communication style. He recently posted on my talk page about my editing style, but instead of asking why I edit the way I do, he posted a note that was not constructive. 16:09, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Butterman's points sum up my reason perfectly - good faith is not assumed often enough. If this concern is addressed, I may well support a future RfA. However: your work to the wiki's images is wonderful, keep it up. 19:24, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Horsehead and Gaz. When you nominated me for UoTM, I declined and in result you basically flamed Tarakochi. You need to work on communicating and good faith before I will support you. 19:28, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - I don't know you yet. Just getting to know you. 02:23, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Haven't been here that long, and I have seen a few cases where you haven't AGF. 02:41, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - I remember once when you had a slight argument with Caleb and you happened to call him a kid. That comment seems pretty unneeded. He was asking why did you do it and trying to help you because you violated DDD. 02:49, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Butter and Horse-- 09:48, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Bonzi. 15:08, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Great image contributions, but it seems you haven't been here for too long. 21:28, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Butter. 17:45, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
