Nomination[edit]

MediaWiki message delivery (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) – This valuable extensionspambot has been enhancing our talk pages with extremely valuable information for quite a while now. However, I've noticed that Bureaucrat grants access to the valuable noratelimit right, which would allow it to deliver valuable information even faster. As we all know, access to noratelimit is the sole purpose of the Bureaucrat group, as that group has absolutely nothing to do with the assignment of userrights. With over 8.4 million global edits, they are certainly fit for the role. — csc-1 00:32, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for the candidate[edit]

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as a bureaucrat. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. Have you read the discussions on when to promote and not promote? What do you understand the criteria for promotion to be?
A: I'm not sure what the assignment of user rights has to do with bureaucrats, however if for some reason I had to do that, I'd simply use an unprotected mass message list to automatically add and remove rights from users.
2. How would you deal with contentious nominations where a decision to promote or not promote might be criticized?
A: I would allow other Wikipedians to engage in an edit war over said mass message list, making sure to engage in wheel-warring in order to keep it unprotected.
3. Wikipedians expect bureaucrats to adhere to high standards of fairness, knowledge of policy and the ability to engage others in the community. Why do you feel you meet those standards?
A: I would rely on the knowledge and experience of our brave edit warriors in order to interpret policy.

Discussion[edit]

Please keep discussion constructive and civil. If you are unfamiliar with the nominee, please thoroughly review their contributions before commenting.

  3. Oppose in favor of MediaWiki default. JJPMaster 20:00, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

General comments[edit]
  • I can't cast a !vote, but while I like the tireless contributions, the lack of talk page responsiveness is concerning. 2A03:F80:32:194:71:227:81:1 (talk) 03:07, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
