[edit] Aytakin

Final (1/6/1) ended 15:31 27 November 2005

Aytakin (talk • contribs) – Hello, I am an active wikipedia user. I am web designer and am very familiar with the technical aspects of websites. I activly try to contribute to different pages on wikipedia and also I answer as much questions as I can on the Refrence Desk. I also am fluent in Farsi. I am very knowledgeable on the topics of history and sports. I also am working on many articles relating to 1953 coup in Iran and hope that it will be up soon. Thank you very much Aytakin 03:11, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

I ,hereby, accept my self-nomination!

6. Oppose. See the edit history of English words of Persian origin for why I oppose this request. Alexander 007 07:17, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

   "05:38, November 17, 2005 Alexander 007 m (revert Aytakin: you have been told before by other editors that your additions are either cognates, or they are erroneous. Add them again, and I conclude you are an idiot.)" I assume you haven't read WP:CIV and WP:NPA then? NSLE _{(讨论+extra)} 07:47, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps. But my suspicion regarding his competence has been revived by this premature RfA. Who nominates himself after 99 or so edits? And some bad edits among the bunch? Please. Alexander 007 08:01, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

1. Don't want to oppose, but... Please withdraw. ナイトスタリオン ✉ 11:39, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Comments

• May I suggest that you withdraw your nomination and try after a couple of months. You have only 99 edits and there is no chance that this RFA will go through. Tintin 03:32, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Afraid I must second Tintin's suggestion - the bottom line is about 1,000 edits, but get up to 3,000 with participation in a number of projects and you'll be in good shape. BD2412 T 03:57, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• If you're interested in reverting vandals, take a look at Wikipedia:Revert, which shows you how to revert vandalism without being an admin. In the meantime, you should probably have a better idea of what exactly you'd like to do that requires admin powers and try again in a few months and more edits. --Deathphoenix 08:18, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Please do stick around and contribute your knowledge to Wikipedia, even though it's too soon to become an administrator. We could definitely use more active Wikipedians who know Farsi and are familiar with Iranian history and culture, a weak point for us. Chick Bowen 15:32, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.

A. If I am chosen as an sysop I will try my best to help with everything that I can. I will try hard to help users with problems they might have, work on pages that need help (such as being reverted, edited or just make it better), and also help with the problem on vandalism by anonymous users.

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A. I have contributed mostly to the topics relating to Iran, since my field of study is Iran. I am pleased with all of the contributions that I have made and hope I continue to do so with the contributions I will make in the future.

3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

A. Once I recall being in a conflict over editing. But this was long ago. I was a bit upset over the reverting process and the argument on the talk page, but I contacted the user and we settled it easily and quickly.
