- Nomination statement:
Hello. I've been one of the most active users in this project (with over 20 000 edits), and I've done most admin actions per this site. Before I've been Wikipedia addict, but now I'm also addicted to Wikidata. So far there is not much admin things to do, but I've helped a lot for deleting duplicate items and other unneeded stuff. I have also translated many pages to Finnish language. I'm very interested how this project will grow up. Greetings, --Stryn (talk) 06:23, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Nomination statement:
Hey there, here is a Wikidata Lover from East Germany. Adminstats says I'm the 28 most active admin on wikidata. To be honest, at this time of the phases it is really hard to get some work ;) and I feel not like doing much work ;) . My plan is to make more MediaWiki: edits to improve Wikidatas surface. Like my aims in november last year I will support integration for tools using Wikidata.
My part was in last time also observing talk pages for deletion requests, vandalism and comments as well as checking deleted talk pages for dubious deletions. I did 990 edits till now and will stay and give answers on events for externals asking how to use Wikidata for their projects in germany and motivate people to check in here. For a good admins climate, greetings too, we go big, Conny (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2013 (UTC).[reply]

- Nomination statement: I have been inactive for some time. This is because I couldn't find anything to do as an admin - while I have found the cvn channel in the meantime I have become a little more active. I hope I still have the trust to serve as an admin on this project. If I don't get confirmed, I completely understand. Thanks. TBloemink talk 07:37, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Nomination statement: I have just shy of 1,000 edits here and am a globally trusted user, with several user rights on en.wp, commons, and outreach. I'd like to help with routine maintenance and assisting new users on this project. In addition, I have translator admin rights because I am proficient in Spanish as well as English.

- Nomination statement: I created the FindRedirectsForAliases gadget and WikidataInfo, among other scripts, and I've done a reasonable amount of editing in the main namespace. I'm pretty enthusiastic about the Wikidata project, and I look forward to continuing to help build the project, hopefully as administrator so that I'll be able to edit the Mediawiki namespace and help with other admin tasks. --Yair rand (talk) 06:45, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak support - very active editor but not many admin actions. Seems like Yair rand has been doing translations in the MediaWiki: namespace, so I think he would find continued adminship useful.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:26, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Adminship extended indefinitely. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 00:29, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Nomination statement: Hello. I'm afraid that after my initial spurt (a few thousand edits), I've not been very active during phase 1 as there was almost nothing to do (especially as a sysop), as so much was going to be done by the bots. However, now that phase 2 is active and so there are many more things to get involved with, I have returned. I'm hugely excited about Wikidata and what we can build here (as well as being a Wikimedia sysop since 2003 and a Wikimedia Foundation staffer working on the VisualEditor and admin tools, I was the founding head of data.gov.uk and have a background in publishing data on the Web). I would hope to continue as a sysop here if the emerging community will have me, so that I can help deal with the inevitable backlogs that will be much higher now Wikidata is really taking off, but I understand if my previous inactivity means you do not feel me worthy.

- Support Lots of experience and committed to the project, which is enough for me. --Rschen7754 02:33, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Reconfirm This is a toughie. He's certainly not a model of admin activity, and while he has exactly 999 edits this month (which is less than a week old), he has 0 in January. Ultimately, I'm voting to reconfirm because he's Jdforrester, a rationale that will a good deal of sense to a number of people and absolutely no sense to everyone else. You've just got to have been around for a while to get it. Sven Manguard Wha? 02:39, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

From some odd reasons I thought the confirmations begin on Mondays, so I wanted to create the statement during the weekend. Sorry for adding it late then. Anyway: As I stated in my initial RfA, I do mostly technical stuff around Wikimedia wikis. That means maintenance (thus typically deletions in case of Wikidata) and care of messages, translations, gadgets, styles, scripts, templates, code QA etc... Typical content-wide edits are not to be expected from me in any significant amount because of that, so the number of edits is not so meaningful criterion in my case.
Feel free to ask for more...

Update:
Because this unfortunately went so far and is seriously damaging my good reputation and putting me without any justification in the bad light by stating the things which are not true at all, I am updating my statement as the reaction to false accusations and unsubstantiated allegations that appeared bellow, which obviously come both from misunderstnanding and misrepresenting of my edits as well as from not being familiar with the case and just blindly copying someone else's concerns.
I would like to appeal on everybody to please read this thoroughly before making any further judgement on ungrounded statements bellow, thank you.
- I have never misused, the less so abused, my admin rights in any single edit I have done here. Never. Nobody proved that I would have done, so please respect that and do not just copy somebody else's statements without checking the reality, thank you.
- I have never made any incorrect edit to translations or messages. Never. All of them were proper and had their reasons. Nobody shown any single incorrect edit in such area, so please respect that and do not just copy somebody else's statements without checking the reality, thank you.
- I have never done any single edit here with impatience. It is somebody's purely subjective assumption based on incorrect impressions from the points above. In fact, this whole discussion clearly shows, that I patiently try to explain every raised concern as well as patiently prove that the conclusions based on the points above are therefore incorrect.
Should you have any concerns about any of my edit, please do ask about it first rather than making a speed judgement while not knowing the context. Thank you.
Also, I have realized that some treated my comments in different way than they have been intended. I count this to the "lost in translation", since English is not my native language. However, I can just sincerely say, that all my replies were in a friendly way trying to constructively solve the raised concerns and definitely no offense nor disrespect of companions was intended.

- Oppose Fewer than 100 undeleted edits, not a single edit in the main namespace (which shows that he even has never cared about the scope of this project) and some ununderstandable local translations of TWN messages are enough reasons for me to oppose here, I'm sorry. --Vogone (talk) 13:53, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Please do not state untruths here and do not (mis)interpret my care based on your wrong assumptions. There is no relevance between the number of edits in main ns and caring about the scope of this project. Especially considering that until now there was phase 1 which was typical work for bots and not for humans. Can you define "ununderstandable local translations of TWN messages", please? Thank you.
— Danny B. 14:07, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]- You wanted to have a reason for my oppose and you have it now. And you're still unsatisfied. You obviously want to comment every oppose you get (see above). But let that be now. In my opinion a user can't be familiar with a project, when he has never created or edited any content, as there is so much work in the namespace (like fixing bot errors and add/translate descriptions). My statement "ununderstandable local translations of TWN messages" was a bit unclear. I meant the corrections of translations of TWN content, which you made locally instead of making them globally on TWN. You are familiar with this kind of things, thus I (and some other users) were surprised about your actions. Please don't feel attacked, but this is my opinion and my reason for opposing your confirmation. Kind regards, Vogone (talk) 14:21, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I actually don't see anything wrong on commenting the votes (regardless if they are oppose, neutral or support) because it's good both side feedback and helps to improvements.
Familiarity with project by the number of edits in main namespace is totally illogical and false assumption. And especially here, where such edits are nothing creative (unlike creating articles on other projects) but monotonous work. There are not only edits in main namespace. There are also activities in background, such as bugtesting, reporting, QA, further development suggestions and so on.
Re translations: You are again assuming something on wrong basis. Doesn't it sound more reasonable that I made those translations because of any reason here? For instance when TWN message updating was broken? Or when such messages were not in TWN? Etc. Oh, man, do you really think that while (quoting you) being familiar with this kind of things I would do that just without a reason? Come on, just use some logic in your assumptions, please...
And no, I don't feel attacked, your opinion is your opinion. I just want to have things clarified because it helps to prevent further misunderstandings. That's it.
— Danny B. 14:43, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]- höhöhö … I never mentioned messages which weren't in TWN and "For instance when TWN message updating was broken?" is nonsense. And you know that. Live wikis were never affected by this "error". I really dislike your discussion-style. I won't response on any following comment. My oppose will stay. Regards, Vogone (talk) 21:29, 7 February 2013 (UTC) sorry for being intolerable[reply]
- You actually never mentioned any concrete message which we could talk about, so it is hard to discuss on anything particular. Besides that, I do not see any message translated here by me which wouldn't have a reason to be, so unless you will be concrete and prove some unnecessary edit, I have to start to consider this argument as pure unsubstantiated rumor instead of the reality.
Also, please, do not manipulate the reality, there is no nonsense, that TWN update was broken in past for couple days - I was reporting that issue actually and it is easily provable by searching backlogs of tech IRC channels (and I guess there was a bug in Bugzilla for that as well).
About disliking the discussion style - I was nice and patient, trying to friendly find out, what exactly are you refferring to with your general descriptions where it's hard to react because of their generality. But the responses on my tries were more and more attacking unfortunately. Looks like AGF somehow vanished here :-/ On the other hand I am not going to just stand by statements on my person or activities which not matching the reality and truth. That's my right, as well as yours and anybody else's.
It's pity that this discussion drifted from constructive discussing of reservations to bashing... :-(

- Now a strong oppose based on the above comments. The last comment (immediately above) in particular demonstrates temperance issues ("Oh, man, do you really think that while...", for example).--Jasper Deng (talk) 20:17, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Legal proces against unknown person which mihgt be Wikipedia editor. Thats different. JAn Dudík (talk) 21:22, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm, that's quite paradox... The quotation you mentioned is being used in our language exactly for the opposite purpose - to ensure, that the following part of the sentence is not taken in any offensive way, but as a friendly reminder. Thus as the opposite of temperance - to calm down things. I'm not sure how in your language though so I understand you may have a different view on it then. Different cultures, different habits... But it is quite unfair to judge on this base... :-/

- changed to Oppose, per Jasper Deng --Iste (D) 23:42, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose for two reasons.
- Firstly, the creation of local translations (on the 15th of december) show that Danny B. does not have much patience. Makes you wonder how he is going to react in situations when his patience is put to the test.
- Secondly, admins should never have edit wars. Personally, I basicly follow the zero-revert rule. I do not revert or undelete a page when a fellow admin deletes my work or someone reverts my edit. I either talk with the person in question or improve their edit. Danny B and Vogone did have an error war by undeleting and deleting on the 15th of December. There is no discussion about this on their talk pages about that. I think that both of them should follow my example in this case, or at least discuss such issues.--Snaevar (talk) 01:50, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I really do not understand what is improper (and impatinent - sic!) on the creation of local translation when the update from TWN does not work for several days. (That was the same reason for undelete, which we actually discussed on IRC, so no edit war. Where is the AGF?). And on top of it, Wikidata:Aliases for special pages mentions, that it is being updated "manually at (ir)regular intervals". Multilingual projects are supposed to have multilingual user interface, and if there is none, we should create one as soon as possible to allow people to use it. We should be user friendly and not user unfriendly by showing users that we don't care about their comfortable usage of the site. Furthermore, what does being nice to international users have in common with patience?

- Which particular MediaWiki edits are you concerned of, please? From which of my edits do you judge my temperament? It's quite impossible to react on such general allegations. :-/ Re my other flags - yes, I do. And I already made a huge maintenance on those projects and almost finished there, so there is not so much more to do, than keep it running in order there. And friendly, please let me decide, what I want to focus on. ;-)
— Danny B. 04:21, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The general combativeness of your comments here is why I switched to an oppose from neutral; it is what I feel that demonstrates lack of temperance. The more you make these comments, the less I feel I can trust you.--Jasper Deng (talk) 04:24, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose Maybe I should go take some Ridalin, but I can hardly even follow the discussion here. It reads like a newbie's first AfD. If you can't see the problem with responding to (almost) every oppose vote, then I don't think you're really cut out to be an admin. I've gotten users blocked for that on en. Likewise, it takes a certain cavalier attitude to pick a fight at your own RfA. (Phrases like "totally illogical and false" have no place in any civil discourse, especially from an admin, especially at his own RfA.) Admins are here to serve the community, and your attitude seems to indicate that you feel you simply deserve adminship, and that anyone who disagrees is making false accusations and unsubstantiated allegations which obviously come both from misunderstnanding [sic!] and misrepresenting [your] edits as well as from not being familiar with the case and just blindly copying someone else's concerns. It's a mop, not a medal, and definitely not a divine right. I'd very much suggest that you either resign or stop commenting here, before you find yourself blocked for a battleground mentality. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 05:42, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I just might support such a block (only as a remote possibility), but on IRC the user seemed to have shown genuine interest in learning how to tone these comments down. But the fact that he doesn't already know them shows that he is not suited to continue holding sysop rights here.--Jasper Deng (talk) 05:48, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, to be clear, I don't think that a block should be on the table at the moment, but I do think it could become necessary if Danny continues to behave in this manner. I'm glad he's interested in coming across more amicably, but that's something that one should do before being sysopped, not after. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 05:54, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I never treated the admin rights as any award or any sign of appreciation or deserving, but always as a service to the community and that's how I always do - I mostly do technical stuff on request. When people need help with technical issues, I help them. And no, I really do not think I deserve the adminship. I can't even think it, because - as I said - I do not consider it to be deserved, but rather given to people who want to serve to the communities to ease their work.
Re responding to votes - it's actually a question of local habit. There are wikis, where is expected to discuss the mentioned arguments, there are wikis where there is no discussion allowed. I did not find any rules about RfA's here, so I use the approach I am habituated to. If it is inappropriate, then I apologize, but as I said, I did not see any guidelines. Also, if you think it's inappropriate, I respect your opinion and will be more than happy to accomodate, so could you please suggest the better (more cavalier) way how to show disagreement with untruths and explain the context? How should one defend in such cases? Thank you.
Re the blocking - where is the AGF? Why is patient protecting of somebody's good reputation against untruths considered as battleground mentality? (Just by the way to illustrate how different wikis and their communitites are: On some other wikis you would be asked to run confirmation because of this kind of threat as an implication of possible misuse of rights as well as this kind of description would be treated as personal attack. Different wikis, different attitudes... This is neither enwiki nor any other wiki, this is multilingual and cross-project-serving wiki and thus can't favorize any single attitude, but needs to find out some balance between all of them.)
— Danny B. 06:29, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- This argument can also work the other way. Wikidata is a community in and of itself and you must adapt to it. I don't think a block will ever happen here, but you definitely, as I said before, are not helping your chances of being reconfirmed here.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:35, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose Lot of bad experience from Czech Wikipedia (where Danny B. is blocked due to violation of the WP:LEGAL; bad experience from Czech Wiktionary, Wikinews and Wikiversity. Bad experience from mutual cooperation in Wikimedia Czech Republic. Danny B. is also an admin of so many Wikimedia projects in Czech language (basically all of them, except of Czech Wikipedia where he resigned due to criticism of several other admins). The fact that he has so many admin privileges leads to a conclusion that he does not respond to users' requests for actions (because he is simply too overloaded and has no time to process it). Danny B. indeed does not have enough patience to do things properly. He likes to shout on people who disagree with him (several meetings of WMCZ in autumn 2010, when Danny tried to introduce the grant system into our chapter).

- Oppose -- Strong oppose. Argueing instead of respecting different opinions. Misunderstandings. Hot blooded. Not suitable for such a complex and multingual project with a high level of background noise. An admin on Wikidata will need patience, must respect different views and different cultures and needs the abilitiy to listen closely and must be always aware of the language barrier. This page is about collecting friends, not about defeating opponents or for justifying yourself. Nobody expects an admin to do his work always 100% right so I mistrust any statements that tells "I´ve never done anything wrong, all I do is right". It might be of more interest how you deal with the limitations everyone of us has.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 13:56, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak support I'm somewhat concerned by the fact several users I trust here voted against, but I personally don't have the feeling that the candidate is doing anything bad for Wikidata — quite the opposite actually, since he's still working on cleaning up the MediaWiki: namespace at the moment. I know it's hard to manage opposition to one's RfA (I've seen candidates I know better than Danny B. fail at this on frwiki while I'm sure they'd have been great sysops anyway), so I'm trying to give little importance to this, as it's very easy to ruin months of good work within a few minutes and some misguided words. — Arkanosis ✉ 18:57, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm certainly not saying they're wrong or that (in general) good work excuses bad conduct, but the limited knowledge I have of what Danny B. is doing on this wiki, makes me think he's a valuable resource for the project.

Many of these redirects had to be restored manually again after we realized what damage was done. Danny B. did not inform the Czech Wikipedia or Wikimedia community about this.

- But that is not policy globally (i.e. commons, meta), and as a global user he should be aware of this (holding adminship at incubator). --Rschen7754 22:36, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Contoversial deletion of what? orphaned talkpage? And is here some policy not to delete useless lone talkpages? In cs: project is noncontroversial habit to delete such talkpages... JAn Dudík (talk) 22:23, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The action log where he just made a controversial deletion... --Rschen7754 21:52, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Neutral, good work as an admin on Wikidata, but I can't support because he hasn't done any edits (ok, one) in the main namespace[1]. --Stryn (talk) 10:10, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose I am not a strong Wikidata contributor and I might be considered to have a conflict with Danny B., but from what I am reading above, I would say if Id like to contribute to this project in the future I would not freely breath, that the project is led by the community. Reading the upper statements takes me to the fact, nothing had changed. When Danny B. appeared on cs.wp years ago, people amazed of his technical skills. But shortly after they woke up. Well, he was not respecting community and manipulating "things", how he needed them to work. Thats why there underwent 2 RfCes and 2 arbitrations. Danny B. also resigned twice, when the results of his confirmation in admin possition where not good. But not just this, there were comunication problems, people called it agressive, arogant, rude etc. And that was back to 2007. As the years were passing nothing had changed. Other problems were rising at cs.wp, than WMCZ, than cs.wv, than cs.wn, again at cs.wv and again at cs.wn. Czech Wikinews, Wiktionary or Wikiversity doesnt actually work on the community consensus, they are ruled - according my opinion - by Danny B. Anyway, do you think this is a polite behaviour? How technically skilled admin could delete pages used for ages without leaving redirects and if politely asked, not able to respond and just stay silent?!--Juandev (talk) 19:38, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose I came here ready to oppose before I saw the above content. I don't agree with a good amount of this user's actions, thinking and behavior. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 21:55, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
