EPIC

[edit]

Vote

RfP scheduled to end after 26 December 2023 20:34 (UTC)

Hello there, all of you! Today, I am applying for adminship here on Wikidata.

I have been a Wikimedia user since 2019, and I have made a bit over 38,000 edits here on Wikidata. I try to split my activity between WD and the Swedish Wikipedia, and surprisingly I have managed to do that quite well. Most of my activity here has gone towards patrolling RC/SWViewer to revert vandalism, and I am here daily to do so. In some cases I have dealt with mass vandals when there have been no administrators on WD:AN, and in those cases it would be handy to be able to deal with it myself, instead of having to bother the admins at AN each time.

I have experience of both the Wikimedia wikis and the admin tools, as I am an admin on the Swedish Wikipedia, a rollbacker/PCR on the English Wikipedia, and was recently also appointed a global renamer. I have a couple of years of experience of the admin tools and have frequently been patrolling and blocking vandals on my home wiki. Of course I still won't be very strict with blocks, and will only use the blocking tool in situations where it is needed, such as repeated vandalism, libel, block evasion etc..

In short, most of my usage of the tools will go towards handling requests at WD:AN and WD:RFD. I will also likely be keeping an eye on WD:RFOR as well as WD:PC. We currently do not have any Swedish administrators on Wikidata and have not had for four years, so if elected, I'll also be the first one in a while. Cheers and happy holidays! --EPIC (talk) 20:34, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  12.  Support While I'd prefer candidates with a bit more experience in the project namespace (I saw just ~70 non-sandbox edits? Maybe I'm asking too much), they are an admin on the Swedish Wikipedia and I have seen lots of good anti-vandalism work from them. I believe they will be a net positive. --94rain talk 02:21, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Question I noticed that you had most of your edits in a short time span mid 2021 and just recently resumed your activity here on Wikidata. Activity on sv.wp had a peak in mid 2019 to mid 2020, then another smaller peak mid 2021 and then little activity until 10/2023. Now, it’s really none of my business how and when you devote your time and energy to Wikidata but I still wonder what your plans for the foreseeable future re admin and other activity might be. --Emu (talk) 22:35, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for asking! This is true, basically, my activity has been going up and down in the past for some periods due to multiple studies and other things in the real life taking up my time. These studies are now finally done and I have gone back to full activity once again. Like I stated above, most of my time will be going towards counter-vandalism patrolling as well as handling requests at the above mentioned pages, and I have more time to spend on these tasks than what I have had in 2022.
    I hope this answer will satisfy you, do not hesitate to ask more questions if needed. EPIC (talk) 22:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question you were granted global-renamer permissions just a day before this request was created (m:Special:Redirect/logid/54527596). Do you think you will have enough time to be active as an administrator here given your new role as a global renamer? --DannyS712 (talk) 05:29, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, thank you for your question! The way I see it, it should not be a problem to split my activity between the two roles. My home wiki does not really have constant renaming requests, and the global rename queue requests are quickly handled. Actually, I have managed to split my activity between multiple wikis for the time being. I keep an eye on here, my home wiki, Meta, as well as multiple small wikis since I often use SWViewer which combine them all. And even considering my role as a global renamer, I have still had more than enough time to spend on counter-vandalism patrolling.
Don't hesitate to ask further questions if you feel like you need to do so. EPIC (talk) 06:57, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay - to be clear I have no problem with you splitting up your time (given how many wikis I'm active on it would be pretty hypocritical of me to say that you couldn't do the same) I just wanted to make sure that the two brand new roles at once wouldn't be a problem --DannyS712 (talk) 09:07, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
