Commons:Administrators/Requests/Moumou82

 Support = 15;  Oppose = 6;  Neutral = 0 - ~71.4% Result. -- Cecil (talk) 09:52, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Required are 75%. Until I calculated the percentage I still had planed to discount the votes of at least Poudou99 and Tmouchentois (they were obvious, the rest would have required further investigation), but even without removing questionable votes, the request ended negative.

Canvassing (my personal opinion): open == not off-wiki. This is borderline but actually Moumou82 did not write on this wiki-project. He picked another one, which caused it to be out of view for the community here (of which he wants to be admin). This actually also makes it partisan == informing a selected audience where the probability of support is high: in this case people from French Wikipedia which are active on two very specialized portals.

Dear all,
I hereby declare my candidacy for the administrator's role. I have been active on Commons for a couple of years (since November 25th, 2006) with regular uploads of personal or public domain pictures. I am also making patrolling and copyvio tagging on new files, particularly concerning Tunisia, and concentrate also on categorisation. Until now, I had to put the appropriate models for other administrators to take the necessary actions. Alternatively, I also post a message in the Village pump to alert administrators (particularly when I found series of such copyvio uploads). The tools would allow me to put less strain on the current admins. Regards Moumou82 (talk) 09:50, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Out of Wikimedia Commons, I am also an administrator in Wikipedia (French) since 2006 and the president of Wikimedia Switzerland since 2009.

• You seem to be a very respected and trusted user, but for me one of the most important things is for a candidate to have some experience with DRs; starting DRs, and even more importantly commenting on them, shows your knowledge of policies and tricky copyright laws, which is an essential part of being an admin here (and it's the only way to learn too). It would also demonstrate your need for the tools, and that you're going to become an active administrator, which is what we really need. So if I did not demotivate you too much, it would be great if you spent some time on DRs, and then you'll have my full support for a next run; but for now,  oppose, sorry. –Tryphon^☂ 21:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
  • The user created and updated Template:PD-Tunisia. This is more than some administrators active on DR manage to do. --  Docu  at 05:25, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
    • Sure, but admin rights are not required for that. –Tryphon^☂ 06:11, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
      • Agree. It only addresses part of your comment (core IMHO). --  Docu  at 06:15, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

•  Support - Sounds good, -- Cirt (talk) 17:00, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Strong Oppose Candinate has engaged in canvassing: here and here, attracting the !votes of users who are his friends, and not active community members of Commons. On en.wikipedia, such an RfA would have been snow closed within hours. I strongly encourage the closing crat to discount !votes obtained through canvassing. Also, I have concerns with your lack of experience in the commons namespace and your lack of interaction with the DR process. That said, at this time, I don't believe you have adequate experience to he a sysop on Commons. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 21:26, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per comments and findings below, the fact that the candidate did not answer and to outweigh some of the asked support votes by users with few contributions to Commons. --Leyo 18:43, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per comments by Fastily and Leyo regarding conduct of this user. Hydriz (talk) 07:52, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support per work on Template:PD-Tunisia and editcount >12000. --  Docu  at 10:32, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose The behavior of this user is unacceptable for an administrator. Canvassing on their home wiki for voters and failing to respond/acknowledge shows a clear lack of accountability. theMONO 00:33, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Fastily -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 07:43, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Comments

•  Info The candidate has made only few contributions to the Commons namespace (incl. DR). --Leyo 10:02, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
• Does anyone other than me find it peculiar that the candinate managed to acquire 8 very similar !votes in a period of just 5 hours? I don't like to assume bad faith, but this smells strongly of canvassing. Feel free to convince me otherwise. Cheers, FASTILY ^(TALK) 06:26, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

  Seems like… --Leyo 22:20, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Although I have the same concerns that Leyo and Tryphon have noted above -- far too little activity in the Commons namespace (60 edits) -- in fairness, I have to point out that although WP:EN has an explicit rule against canvassing, I don't think we have one here.

Of course, the closing bureaucrat has great discretion in deciding how to count the consensus -- nine of the supports above have a total of 57 edits between them in the Commons namespace (including seven with single digits), which suggests to me that they might not be qualified to judge an Admin here, and therefore might be discounted by the closing 'crat.

I encourage Moumou82 to withdraw this, spend a couple of months making good comments on DRs, and then return for a quick election without the canvassing.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 16:57, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

• I wonder if you don't have double standards, looking at Commons:Bureaucrats'_noticeboard#De-admined_without_warning. --  Docu  at 19:10, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

I completely agree that Aqwis does not appear to be a promising Administrator, and had not done the required five edits in the six months. However, Commons rules require warning him and giving him a chance to fix the problem. When taking away rights I much prefer following process carefully. He was not given any warning before being removed from the Admin list, so he should be reinstated and given him six months to get back on track.

• I just realized that not only did the candidate not answer any of the comments here, he didn't contribute to Commons at all since starting this request. Doesn't sound very promising regarding his future activity here. –Tryphon^☂ 18:52, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I was not aware that contributing every day of the week was a requirement... If that is the case, this should be clearly stated somewhere. Note I had the Wikimedia Switzerland General Assembly during the period, so other important tasks to complete. By the way, looking at my contributions, I don't feel as coming to Commons once per month.

As for comments about canvassing, by looking at the provided link, I found the following inappropriate notifications: Mass posting OR Biased OR Partisan OR Secret. In this particular case, nothing is secret (interventions limited to two discussion pages), there is no mass posting, it is not biased or partisan as I have not asked for any support or any vote but just notified the candidacy (one of my posting was even the result of another user's suggestion). If someone can demonstrate that the concerned users (which ones by the way?) are "selected based on their known opinions", I would be happy to know what these specific "opinions" are.

As indicated below, I worked on Template:PD-Tunisia so I don't feel I am unexperienced regarding copyright matters. Naturally, I would be happy to request inputs from more experienced admins. Moumou82 (talk) 08:25, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Despite of being busy, you made 150 edits in fr.wikipedia in the same period. You could also have chosen a less busy period for your RfA. --Leyo 07:35, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
