[edit] CanadianCaesar

final (63/4/3) ending 11:11, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

CanadianCaesar (talk · contribs) – Self-nomination. I've been a Wikipedian since June 2005 and have over 5,500 edits. I have an obsession with improving articles I find on Canadian law that need work, with categorizing articles, and checking for copyvios. In fact, I work so long on Wikipedia my eyes hurt. Along with very good folk like User:PullUpYourSocks, User:Hurricane111 and User:Habsfannova, I've tried to improve coverage on the Constitution of Canada. I enjoy reverting vandalism and hope to improve my performance on that front with rollback and blocking powers. I have also participated in many deletion discussions and love it when I see votes "per CanadianCaesar". CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 08:01, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Accept. I got a little nervous yesterday and removed the RfA, I'll admit, but I want to help Wikipedia. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 11:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Support

  1. Of course Sceptre (Talk) 11:13, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  2. Support, but please use more edit summaries on minor edits. smurrayinchester(User), (Talk) 11:48, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  3. Support. I see involvement in a lot of areas: wikiprojects, copyright, article templates. Well rounded solid editor. NoSeptember talk 12:06, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  4. Support, looks like s/he would be a very good admin Where (talk) 14:21, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  5. Support, everything looks good to me. (ESkog)(Talk) 14:32, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  6. Support Wow can't believe people are opposeing you !!! Mjal 15:52, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  7. Support, unlikely to abuse admin tools. Christopher Parham (talk) 16:23, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  8. Support, see no potential for abuse here, people are quite capable of learning on the job and people should not be penalised for being more interested in helping wikipedia the encyclopedia grow as opposed to looking after process. If the user is trusted, they should be supported. Adminship is no big deal. Answers to the questions are solid. Hiding talk 16:32, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  9. Support In my experiences with him, trustworthy and good-natured user. Xoloz 17:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  10. Support --NaconKantari e|t||c|m 17:42, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  11. Support Good edits, plenty of experience. I agree with Smurrayinchester on edit summaries, though. --Allen 18:25, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  12. Support. User is ready to take on more responsibility. No Guru 20:51, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  13. Support. Well-rounded editor who is ready to take on more tasks. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 21:15, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  14. Support. CC helps with vandals. WP is not in position to get picky. For what I remember, CC's edits were generally useful. Being involved in internal WP processes would be plus but main task of admins is dealing with avalanche of vandalism and crap. Pavel Vozenilek 21:25, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  15. SuperBowl Sunday Support Image:SuperBowlXL.png εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 21:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  16. Support. I do share some of Radiant!'s concerns, but I have seen nothing that makes me believe that CanadainCaeser will abuse the mop or get his or herself into anything stupid. Basically, this user being an admin would be "no big deal." youngamerican (talk) 22:50, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  17. Just spent a pleasant fifteen minutes skimming through CC's edit history. Very, very, very impressive material. Support. DS 23:38, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  18. Support. >1000 edits in Wikipedia namespace is enough. Wouldn't abuse admin powers either. -- WB 23:41, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  19. Support Great answer to my question :) This combined with excellent work otherwise, which many people above me attest to, makes me feel comfortable with lending my support. Ashibaka tock 01:40, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
  20. Support Lots of contributions in the Wikipedia namespace which is important as well. I can't understand why he loves reverting vandalism, but it is an additional bonus for an admin. Dr Debug (Talk) 03:02, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

    Support, inexperience in a given area should not be a bar. Adminship has no criteria other than having earnt the trust of the community; adminship is no big deal. Hiding talk 19:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

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 voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A. On many occasions I've tagged articles for speedy deletions and then watched for what seemed like forever before the link turned red; on many other occasions I've seen articles tagged for speedy deletion and sometimes wished I could second the motion. The delete button, I think, would he a useful tool and one I would be able to handle responsibly, as I dislike bold deletions. Closing AfDs would also be interesting, as I've participated in many such discussions; once again, I dislike bold deletions but I respect consensus. I don't think I'd have a problem with deleting an article with a consensus to delete, even if I would have voted to keep. Lately I've also noticed many offensive names in the user creation log and am interested in blocking powers for that purpose.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I am particularly proud of my work in Category:Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I believe the Charter deserves the coverage we give to the United States Constitution and have started several articles in that category, and have raised others from stub level to more informative pieces. For example, Preamble to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms involved some research from a variety of sources. Although not as much as my colleague PullUpYourSocks, I've also written articles on Supreme Court decisions and like these to be full and complete. See R. v. Labaye, Doucet-Boudreau v. Nova Scotia (Minister of Education), R. v. Morgentaler (1993), and Native Women's Association of Canada v. Canada for examples.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A. When I was new, certainly there was stress, but I hope that's in the past and appreciate people understanding my errors. User:Tony Sidaway was particularly encouraging and helpful. Generally I try to avoid edit conflicts, and can think of only two incidents that might qualify; one being reverting some odd GNAA edits, the other being how to cover literary criticisms, but no one broke 3RR, we took it to the talk page and we debated. I've learned never to edit another person's userpage except in good faith; the one time was the last time and it was months ago (I removed an obscenity inserted by the userpage's own user). I have never been blocked for anything.
4. Would you apply "ignore all rules" to your admin powers if you felt really strongly about something, even if other people disagreed? Ashibaka tock 23:27, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
I've been thinking about that lately, and I've come to the conclusion that, administrators being editors, with their votes weighed equally as other users and their being no less immune from policies like 3RR, that IAR ought to apply to administrators while carrying out activities that anyone can do; however, inasmuch as one carries out administrative activities, there is inherently greater responsibility entrusted with the user and IAR should not apply in those situations. As I said above, I dislike speedy deletions that don't match the criteria; because as I said below, it's serious business and we have an encyclopedia to build. This, and I genuinely don't want to be a disruption; viewing wheel warring sometimes makes me a little surprised and annoyed. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 01:27, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
5. How would you respond if another admin undid one of your admin actions without discussing it with you first (e.g. (un)blocking, (un)protecting, (un)deleting)? Hermione1980 00:20, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
In the open wiki world, deleting, blocking and protecting are serious business. If I ever made a mistake in one of those situations, it would impede the goal of the project. I didn't respond angrily, for example, when Phil Welch removed a speedy tag I applied to an article, incorrectly in retrospect. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 01:27, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
