Natalie Erin

Voice your opinion (78/0/1); Scheduled to end 23:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Natalie Erin (talk · contribs) - I happened upon Natalie Erin's contributions while browsing the noticeboards and feel she would make an excellent admin. Indeed, she has proven herself to be a prolific vandal-fighter (always leaving warnings and using edit summaries) who shows civility and consistently good judgment across AfD discussions as well. She has been a steady and dedicated contributor with over 6000 edits since June of 2006, and has put together a particularly impressive level of contribution over the past several months. Given her level of activity, particularly at WP:AIV, I feel she would make an excellent admin and would benefit greatly from having the tools for rollbacks and blocks. I also feel her judgment indicates she would close discussions and make deletions with speed and care. She also has solid article contributions and is a member of a Wikiproject (no, I am not so biased that I only nominated her because she also liked the Simpsons... :-)), and is member of the Cleanup taskforce as well, for those who desire evidence of encyclopedia-building. IronGargoyle 23:11, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept.


Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: I initially plan to use admin tools to continue activities I already do: recent changes patrol and new pages patrol. I am very comfortable with the policies and processes for these two activities, so I feel like it would be a good place to get use to admin tools. I already read WP:AN, WP:AN/I, and other noticeboards, and would certainly continue to do so, as well as help out with problems brought to those boards when possible. I am also comfortable with closing many XfDs (especially AfD), although I can't say I would be comfortable closing a particularly close XfD or one that seems to fall into a gray area, at least for now. Once I had some more experience, I would be more willing to close close or controversial AfDs.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I must admit that I am not an FA writer, mostly because I am currently in college and have to do a lot of writing for school, which kind of burns me out on writing. Also, I am a historian-in-training, which involves a lot of what Wikipedians call OR. But I have been able to work with several very bad articles and turn them into what I would consider average articles, including Antioch College, Aryan Brotherhood, Elizabeth Van Lew, and Myrtles Plantation. I was also able to contribute to Sean Bell when it was a current event and have updated it once, although it probably needs updating again.
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?
A: I haven't been involved in any content disputes that I can recall during my time here. I have been the target of vandalism, personal attacks, and whatnot in my RC patrolling. Mostly I just ignore this, as these users are usually blocked within minutes and all is well. But occasionally I've been targeted and have been the only person to notice or warn that particular user. In the past I have alerted admins to the situation and let them make decsisions. If given admin tools, I will block if it is a very obvious disruptive spree, and otherwise will continue my practice of alerting others to the situation.
General comments

Please keep criticism constructive and polite.

Oppose

Neutral

  1. Neutral due to general lack of experience in Wikipedia and Wikipedia talk namespaces. While she's off to a good start, I think a little more experience is necessary before I support. I would support if the current level of activity is maintained for another 2-3 months, especially if more focus is given to Wikipedia and Wikipedia talk namespaces, which is where many admin duties are found. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 04:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
