Dear community

I'm here to apply for admin right again on Commons. I had requested for adminship nearly 2 months ago and withdrawn. Since then, I have gain some more experience and now I have over 7200 edits. I am a trusted user and active in license reviewing. I also take part in image tagging such as copyio, missing source/permission and DRs (Recently, I know how to use TinEye and Google Image Search to find the similar image and it gets easier to mark copyvio). I'd like to become administrator because I'd like to delete obvious copyright violation and close DRs (for cases where I am sure and knowledgeable) and deal with request for rights. I have also had my name changed, so this is my second application.

I don't say that I understand all the copyright issues but I have necessary knowledge about them. When I'm in doubt, I will ask for opinions from other experienced users. I am fascinated by Commons and I'd like to contribute more effective with advanced tools. Since there is no Vietnamese admin here, I can be the best help for people from my local wiki. As I said from the first application, I appreciate all of your votes and I will be thankful if the community gives me advice for this right. Before nominating myself, I had nominated one current admin here, Denniss. Best regards. Have a good day Quan (talk) 06:06, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Votes

  •  Support I'm delighted to be the first to support Blue Marble (who was previously known here as Hoangquan hientrang). He withdrew an RfA in early September on my advice and is now back with more experience -- 7,600 edits on Commons, including 659 in Commons: namespace. I have run into his {{Delete}}s from time to time and agree with him as much as I do with any Admin. He is a native speaker of Vietnamese and would be our first Admin with any ability in Vietnamese. WP:VI is the 17th largest of all the WPs, and the largest language WP for which Commons has no Admin language ability.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 16:04, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I've seen enough improvement in the areas of concern last time to support. A good candidate. Ajraddatz (talk) 18:12, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Why not? -FASTILY (TALK) 20:40, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Jim said it all. --Bencmq (talk) 21:46, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support per Jim.  ■ MMXX  talk 01:33, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support per Jim. -- RE rillke questions? 17:16, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support On balance I think it will be "yes". Plenty to learn but useful work. --Herby talk thyme 17:39, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Although Blue Marble has been very active recently, I find that he is not fully understanding "no permission" and when it should be used, even after I had a discussion with him about his usage of his tag earlier this month. In this discussion, I asked him why he was placing a "No permission" tag on photos from people's Flickr accounts, and he said that it was because "the uploader must specify that the Flickr account is their account," which is clearly not true, as people upload other people's Flickr photos under Creative Commons licenses all the time. Although he seemed to have understood what I said and indicated that in the discussion, today he has been tagging images as "no permission," even though they say that they are the uploaders' own work. They could possibly be copyvios, but there isn't attribution on these files to a different source than the uploader. Thus, I unfortunately cannot support this request for adminship at this time, as the concept of permission is very important to understand, especially as an administrator with the capability of deleting files.

  •  Support Neozoon (talk) 23:14, 25 October 2011 (UTC) highly motivated, please keep asking us if you have a question (like it seems that you did not understand the flickr review beginning this month)[reply]
  •  Weak support, a net positive to the project. Rehman 09:42, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Per Logan. If you suspect a copyright violation is covered up by an "own work" statement, you have to either show it with a link or argue it in a deletion discussion. Tagging pages that claim own work as requiring permission in the hope that they get deleted is a cop-out of the sometimes difficult work of copyright controlling (asking the uploader, checking their uploads in this and other projects, trying to locate evidence that something can't be own work before making a deletion request). Hekerui (talk) 12:52, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't say that it's a copyvio, I just need to confirm that the Flickr account the image comes from is the account of uploader. I have also ask him/her. At first, I believed it's own work but I'm not sure. And also, since user only had 2 uploaded as well as few edits at other projects at that time so I don't know whether it's true or not--Quan (talk) 13:14, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please explain more clearly, please?--Quan (talk) 15:03, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If you (help to) try to remove the people who do most of the work, your presence harms Wikimedia Commons. Jcb (talk) 15:13, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But I trust our community, and I think they are right, and I can also revoke my vote. I don't say that you don't do a lot of good work here. Based on the opinions of collegues and your vote here which is unacceptable, you are not good enough to be an admin here --Quan (talk) 15:21, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You have to investigate yourself instead of following the flow and trusting the flow. Jcb (talk) 15:55, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
One can change ones opinion when evidence is presented - that's the sign of a good admin. Your comment here disgusts me Jcb.. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:21, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Withdraw

I think this RfA can't be successful, so I decide to withdraw it. Even if, I get ellected, somebody will be unsatisfied about it. Moreover, I don't feel like working here anymore, so a sysop tool isn't necessary for me--Quan (talk) 02:53, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
