[edit] TioChaka

FINAL (0/11/1); Ended 03:35, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

TioChaka (talk · contribs) - Musician from Lima, Peru, has already created an article Pancho Pepe Jazz Band, and corrected a number of articles before being a member. Reverts vandalism and adds valuable information tu music-related articles. Drummer. Fan of Incubus. Very concerned on the debate between Peruvians and Chileans, but not biased to the Peruvian side.

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

I accept the nomination and will answer all questions to obtain it.


[edit] Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: Music related articles, neutrality of articles involving rivalry between Perú and Chile
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A:Reverting vandalism in Markham College by a certain IP, Pancho Pepe Jazz Band, adding valuable facts to severall music related articles
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A: One incident in an article about the Zampoña or Siku, I am peruvian and I know it as Zampoña, but a certain user changed it, and also cleared that Huayno is not only peruvian but also bolivian and chilean. IP: 200.60.106.35 has been vandalising many articles such as Markham College (changing Cochrane, Guise, Miller, Rowcroft to Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Starr), Evo Morales (puting a picture of a llama instead of Evo Morales) and PPJB editing members and other things; I suggest that IP is banned.

[edit] Discussion

Support

  1. Support I love Pancho Pepe Jazz Band. - ElbridgeGerry t c block 01:35, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Oppose Sorry, but you don't need to be an admin to work on music related articles. --Wikihermit (Talk • HermesBot) 00:59, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
  2. Oppose. Nice contributions related to music, but the answer to Q1 sinks this nomination. We do not make people admins to give them the upper hand in conflicts they are currently involved in. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 01:07, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
  3. Oppose per Rspeer. You don't show a need for the tools. - G1ggy Talk/Contribs 01:08, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
  4. Oppose You've made good edits on Wikipedia so far (especially Pancho Pepe Jazz Band), but I don't think you have an understanding of many Wikipedia policies, and I don't see a need for the tools in your answer to Q1. I suggest you go for an editor review to get an evaluation of your contributions from other community members. Some things I suggest you do is get more involved editing articles and participating in discussions, and also contribute to admin-related tasks such as reporting vandals at AIV, requesting page protections at RFPP, participating in deletion discussion at XfD, etc. Also, read the relevant deletion, block, protection and other policies to get a better idea of rules we must adhere to on Wikipedia. Since you're interested in music, you may want to join WikiProject Music and also familiarize yourself with WP:MUSIC notability guidelines. P.S. Wikipedia is not about credentials; we only look at the actual contributions you have made here, not your personal background. Nishkid64 (talk) 01:09, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
  5. Per Nishkid. Suggest withdrawing and trying an editor review instead. Daniel 01:19, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
  6. Oppose per nishkid. Suggest this be closed per WP:SNOW--T. Wiki 01:27, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
  7. Oppose - I didn't read anything but Q1, but Q1 reasons my oppose. Cool Bluetalk to me 01:30, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
  8. Oppose As everyone else has stated you need a better understanding of admin chores, a more firm grasp on the rest of Wikipedia, a more broad sense on editing in all spaces of Wikipedia, and quite frankly a lot more edits. Maybe after some more experience, background knowledge on Wikipedia, it's rules, what an admin does, and a lot more edits, then you might have a chance. Good luck in the future but for now, my vote stands as an oppose. Sorry. GeneralIroh (Leave a message after the beep if you gotta problem.) 01:57, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
  9. Oppose All you Project namespace (Wikipedia) edits have been in this RFA. That suggests that you don't have a very good grasp on Wikipedia policy, which is essential. Gutworth 02:00, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
  10. Oppose Per above. You do not show a need for the tools. If you still want to become an admin stay active in making articles better, fight more vandalism, get active in Xfd's, and come back to Rfa in 6 months. Sorry:(--James, La gloria è a dio 02:02, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
  11. Oppose Being an admin means that you will have some additional responsibilities, such as blocking vandals, responding to posts on the AN, and closing deletion debates. Editing music articles does not require adminship. I also concur with closing this per SNOW. (→zelzany - review) 03:31, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. Neutral to avoid pile on. Just not now. Using admin powers in disputes that you might have a WP:COI in (Peru v Chile) is a nyet nyet. JodyB talk 03:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
