Rich Farmbrough

[edit]

I would like to tentatively nominate myself as an admin, because I just spent some time reverting a vandal and it would have been so much quicker to do "rollbacks". This vandal (as you all know) makes Wiktionary very unappealing to the general public, so I would be happy to divert some effort into restraining him and his ilk. I am an admin in Wikipedia, if that matters. Rich Farmbrough 22:37, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

For:

  • Trusted sysop on Wikipedia, why not? Being a sysop is not a privilege. 24 21:06, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Against: --Wonderfool 22:46, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC) Dude, these things take a lot of time. Clearly you'll have to prove yourself more here. All the users here have rolled back and tagged on the rfd templates against the persistent AP vandal at least one, I'm sure. However, during the early hours there is a lack of admins sometimes. But theres a bunch of ppl I'd nominate before you, sorry. But i guess u were expecting this answer.

Sure, perhaps it's worth nominating them. The Wikipedia is more proof against vandals because there are more users and more admins. Not much can be done about the former, but something can be done about the latter, on Wiktionary, with due care and consideration of course. Rgds. Rich Farmbrough 10:30, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
<Jun-Dai 05:47, 6 May 2005 (UTC)> You are absolutely right, Rich. I disagree with Wonderfool that these things [should?] take a lot of time, but I will feel more comfortable voting for you when you've been contributing for at least a month or so. I really hope you won't take offence to that. Anyways, while vandalism is a problem here, our larger problems include simply a lack of content and not enough organized discussion about what it is we're really trying to accomplish in this project. </Jun-Dai>[reply]
<Jun-Dai 08:36, 17 May 2005 (UTC)> Well, I guess Rich either lost interest, or got offended. </Jun-Dai>[reply]

Action: Since he has had only 1 edit in the last month, I interpret this as a lack of interest even though he has continued to be active in Wikipedia. This name will be dropped from the list in the absence of any surge of support in the next few days. Eclecticology 01:22, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
