Commons:Requests and votes/Cool Cat (02): Difference between revisions

Vote
User's Commons Edit Count

I am nominating Cool Cat once more for admin. I believe he has done an incredible job at Commons with a tremendous amount of edits. He has not lately been involved in any major disputes, and I sincerely believe that he will be an asset to Commons as a sysop.

I believe this user has worked hard enough in the trenches here at Commons and has earned the position. He has taken the advice from the last RFA and acted without reproach in the months since.

I know from personal experience that users involved in heated disputes can go on and mend their ways and become valued contributors and editors, and administrators. Cary "Bastique" Bass ^parler _voir 00:07, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Neutral When you only make 85 edits in 3 months, it's pretty easy to "act without reproach". Would like to see more community activity, such as helping out on the Welcome log or comments at Template:Deletion requests and/or Commons:Village pump. pfctdayelise (translate?) 01:40, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I frequently assisted in dealing with people who did not know english. I also aranged translation of various copy vio notices to Turkish. I wasn't idleing. My edit count will likely skyrocket if I were to be adminised.--Cool Cat^Talk|@ 17:37, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Support Cool Cat helped me with the turkih tranlations of licenses, which allowed me to remove hundreds of copyvios at en: Drini 00:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Support. A couple of stretches of inactivity, but overall extensive contributions. --tomf688 (talk - email) 19:37, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Support - I voted against last time, but you will get my {{Support}} now. Btw, there is no need to thank the users voting by putting a large “thank you-template” in their talk pages! ;-) Kjetil_r 19:39, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose - Cool Cat is an attention whore, a privilege seeker, and a highly disruptive individual; he should not be trusted with any privilege anywhere in Wikimedia. Kelly Martin 12:52, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So, before I vote, I want to hassle you with a couple of questions. That shouldn't be a problem for you, should it? I mean, you are used to answering questions on your admin requests? Fred Chess 20:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A: Not long ago, you added lots of images to the deletion request that lacked source. In my opinion, images that lack source should be tagged with the {{Nsd}} template. But what is your opinion?

• All of those images were uploaded by a banned user (per arbcom hearing) and I felt that all of the users users should be looked over due to users lack of understanging of copyrights. User preferd to use random tags even for copyrighted images such as one being a TV stations logo. I believe all of the images he uploaded were fished off of random websites. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 20:57, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

B: Can you give some explaining of your previous provocative and unreasonable behaviour, or do you feel that it was you who was wrongly accused all along?

• My issue with Anthere (I assume thats what this is reffering to) was an upleasant one, not just for me and her. I am guilty for my incivility as there is no excuse for that. It was however a very minor issue as far as I am concerned. I am not sure what the accusation is asside from that. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 20:57, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• I think Cool Cat did not choose a very good name. He is often hot on issues, and what happened that day is that he got hot. That happens. That's not pleasant but that is not either the end of the world either. As far as I am concerned, I long forgave him and I chat now and then with him on irc. Anthere

Ok I think it was good answers so far. Now, I have one final question.

I'd like your opinion about your previous admin requests , both here and on English Wikipedia. What did you think about those procedures, the issues raised there, and the way you acted in response to those stated issues. / Fred Chess 21:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• I try to improve myself per personal policy, and I use the negative feedback on the rfas to this end. I personaly find en.wiki rfa procedure to be broken. En RFA is more about how popular you are rather that what kind of an asset you are to wikipedia. That of course doesnt apply to ever vote but to an important number. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 22:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

True indeed! --Kjetil_r 19:35, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
