Inkipedia:Requests for Rights/Archives/Miss Delibirda (2)

Hello. I would like to apply for administrator, as I enjoy jantorial activites and would like to help out in more ways. Miss Delibirda (talk) 11:00, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Delibirda has repeatedly proven themself to be a reliable editor, through constructive page additions (primarily in Etymology), managing talk page discussions for both useful responses and removing unrelated banter, and community management both on and off platform. Thumbs up from me. Trig Jegman - 19:26, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 2) Strong Support- Delibirda is very helpful and polite! They are good with talk page discussions, as they always are polite and helpful with issues. Their edits are all relevant as well, and they are active regularly, as I have seen from watching the Recent Changes. They have amazing amounts of potential!

Oppose

 * 1) Strong oppose. While Delibirda is an experienced editor and patroller, she has made several bad judgement calls on the finer details, in my eyes. I've had information I added to mainspace pages be removed by her several times, when the info in question should have simply been reworded or cleaned up, not fully removed. I have had other mainspace information that was correct be replaced with incorrect information by her. Additionally, the thought of allowing someone who wanted to start linking unreliable Youtube clips on the wiki instead of clean audio rips (a topic which she has brought up in the Discord) to control policies horrifies me. I believe admin rights should be granted to those already displaying the current admins' level of judgement and Mediawiki knowledge, which in my opinion, she currently does not. She has the skillset of an editor, not an admin. Yoshifan52 (talk) 20:12, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose. I am conflicted on this matter. No doubt I trust the user, and there is no question that this user is active, follows the rules, and is there for the community. But compared to a Patroller, I don't see how the Administrator rights can improve the type of edits they do, especially since this user works on the content of existing pages rather than coding, etc., making administrator rights a rather pointless addition. Factor time also plays a role here, as most admins have been associated with Inkipedia for more than 2 years. Time alone is of course not a huge deciding factor as this user became Patroller faster than an average Patroller but as they are not working on the wiki for that long they are lacking experience. Being wrong or not 100% correct is normal but it shows lack said of experience needed to become an Administrator, which can only be gained through more time and learning. I am opposing for this one as I currently don't see how this improves the wiki at the current date. 20:31, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Question: which duties that are currently exclusively handled by admins are you interested in picking up? Yoshifan52 (talk) 20:14, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
