Re-applying for the admin bit since I was just short in the last 6 month window of activity and removed. I was previously supported 28-0 in 2018 and plan to continue cleanup of items and addressing vandalism. I'm an admin on English Wikipedia and do lots of Wikidata training for cultural institutions and Wikimedia affiliates. Thanks! -- Fuzheado (talk) 18:33, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

edit- Support Sure, if you could check on the deletion requests once in a while that would probably keep you active enough :) ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:07, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- At this stage, I cannot support a candidate that has lost adminship just a moment before the new RfA. — regards, Revi 12:56, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Hello -revi May I ask you a question: Any contributor who has lost a technical right cannot immediately request the return of this right by a new application? —Eihel (talk) 01:16, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose Their answer below does not convince me they will really return to activity, given that our requirements aren't at all that stringent and it is everyone's responsibility to know them.--Jasper Deng (talk) 16:03, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Support An easy choice for me to re-affirm Fuzheado as admin. It's okay to have inactivity removal rules, but clearly Fuzheado's case of editing a lot without using admin buttons in the last few months is one that the rule is designed to let the community reaffirm, not remove for cause! Admins often perform admin duties by reviewing cases and deciding not to use admin buttons. Deryck Chan (talk) 17:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Support great explanation by Deryck Chan, user is an active editor even if not active as much as an admin in the last few months --DannyS712 (talk) 19:00, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Support not concerned with inactivity, if they still want to help out then that is good enough for me. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 21:16, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral; you've shown little commitment to this role in the past two years —MisterSynergy (talk) 21:53, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral, per MisterSynergy. The fact that you have been fairly active all this time but you barely used your admin tools is worrying. Tools are to be used. Esteban16 (talk) 01:24, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A little inactivity is nothing to worry about; I'm sure that they'll do better this time; we're used to the COVID pandemic and there's really nothing to worry about. --Prahlad (tell me all about it / private venue) (Please

- Weak oppose. I am not sure that Fuzheado qualifies as an "active user". According to others above, he has just lost his permissions, he should show a bit more activity before gettin the tools again. Cheers! Nadzik (talk) 17:47, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

edit- Question @Fuzheado: Why did you let yourself lapse into inactivity in the first place? --Jasper Deng (talk) 23:16, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I hadn't looked into it explicitly until it expired, but my list of admin actions tailed off sharply at the end of January, exactly when our COVID lockdown happened. Fortunately, my cognitive surplus is now greater to help with admin tasks. Thanks. -- Fuzheado (talk) 10:29, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- You lost your bit yesterday due to inactivity, and just day after you are here doing RfA. Don't you think a little bit of activity (maybe 2-3 months) needs to be shown before going straight to RfA? If not how someone can believe that you will be active after this RfA? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 12:44, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @1997kB: Fuzheado lost his admin flag because he hasn't performed any admin actions for a few months, not because he has been inactive from editing Wikidata. If you look at Special:Contribs/Fuzheado you can see that he has never been absent from Wikidata for more than a few days at a time. So he has more than 2-3 months of regular activity as a general editor that you can examine. Deryck Chan (talk) 17:35, 2 October 2020 (UTC) Ping User:Jasper Deng as well, who seem to be opposing on a probably mistaken understanding that Fuzheado has been absent from Wikidata rather than editing a lot without using admin buttons. Deryck Chan (talk) 17:36, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Deryck Chan: Strawman argument. If you don't need the tools, you don't need the tools. That they have been editing here means they have even less excuse to fall out of compliance with the inactivity policy.--Jasper Deng (talk) 00:51, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I'm surprised that people who've called for more admins are neutral or worse on this request from an active editor! ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:09, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
