Hi there! I'm Scott5114, and I'd like to become an administrator on Wikidata. I have been involved in Wikimedia projects since 2005, when I joined the English Wikipedia; I became an administrator there in March 2008. I have over 25,000 contributions across all wikis—with 1,500 contributions right here on Wikidata. I have participated in several areas of the project, primarily the properties for creation process, and I think I have come to understand the project well enough to administrate it. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 07:36, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  1.  Strong support I've worked with him for several years on the English Wikipedia, and have worked with him on Wikidata, and have no concerns. --Rschen7754 07:38, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  2.  Support Very helpful user, and hopefully this means he doesn't have to bug me to do stuff for him :) Legoktm (talk) 07:43, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  3.  Support The candidate has good Wikidata experience. And being an admin on the English Wikipedia means that the candidate already has experience with the mop. The Anonymouse (talk) 16:00, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  4.  Support StevenJ81 (talk) 16:29, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  5.  Weak support I echo some of the concerns below, but I feel there is trust. Adminship is no big deal.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:45, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  6.  Weak oppose per the lack of XFD work here. --Jakob Scream about the things I've broken 19:15, 20 June 2013 (UTC) Switching to  Neutral per DangSunM. --Jakob Scream about the things I've broken 22:55, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  7.  Support Rzuwig► 20:14, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  8.  Strong support - Valued member of the community, does lots of stuff to held the roads task force, and can definitely continue that work with the sysop flag. I can't say I agree with the oppose above. I had a total of three, yes, three edits at RfD (and not many more at PfD) before I ran for the sysop right, and I passed with no opposition.

    That's why I like if the candidate presents his rationale himself, as it becomes clearer what he intends to do with the tools then. Vogone talk 10:12, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  9.  Support Enough experience here for the candidate to do the boring work at RfD, I think. Just remember to check the whatlinkshere ;) Ajraddatz (Talk) 16:09, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  10.  Support trusted user. (Per comment section) If somebody be admin than he must made lots of RFD? I think this is one of reason to support him, but must not be oppose him because he made less rfds. Admin rights is not only used for tool of merging and deleting. Doing another activities also (blocking, right changes for trusted user, mediawiki edit and etc...) --DangSunM (talk) 22:34, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  11.  Support — ΛΧΣ21 14:37, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Question I see fewer than 20 edits to RFD and PFD. What is it you hope to do with admin tools? --Jakob Scream about the things I've broken 12:08, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Although I have not personally run across many items and properties that have needed deletion (a lot of my activity is adding claims to items), I would like to be able to assist in performing deletions there. (I do have experience on enwp with the necessary skill of gauging consensus and closing deletion discussions appropriately.) Additionally, although I realize the admin toolset is a bit of overkill for it, I would like to assist at Property Proposals, as I have had a few proposals remain open way past when they should have been created due to lack of a closing admin/property creator, and I doubt I am the only one to have that happen. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 18:32, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well, deleting plain items is mostly about a good knowledge of the policies here, rather than about gauging consensus (except PFD, of course). If you feel a property discussion takes too long, you are always free to request the property creator right (which is no big deal) or ask an existing admin/property creator for creation. Anyway, help at RFD cannot harm and is much appreciated, as it is mostly a quite boring task. Vogone talk 18:39, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
