Lar for checkuser
I am very happy to nominate Larry (Lar (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) ) for Check User rights. He is a respected active admin on both this and other Wikis. He has suggested that he would not wish to take "front line" CU requests but would be happy as a "watcher". I sure he will help out but the idea of a watcher seems entirely in keeping with the basic ideas of check user - trust is involved but watchers make sure it is ok! He is genuinely active here which is an important factor as this is a tool that should be used on those who treat Commons with a lack of respect. Bearing in mind the requirement for 25 affirmative votes I do hope you will be able to support this nomination. For more information see m:CheckUser.
The fact that there are a number of these nominations is all to the good given the inactivity of the current sysops with CU rights. These rights do not solve problems but they are a tool that can help those involved with keeping Commons clean. --Herby talk thyme 11:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Acceptance -
- I accept. 25 votes is a high hurdle to get over though, so if you are considering only voting for some of the good candidates that have been put forth, I'd ask you to support Greg first so we can get him over the top and confirmed. But I think all the candidates put forth are worthy of your support. Thank you, Herby for your nomination, and thank you in advance to all voters for your consideration. ++Lar: t/c 14:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

- Support absolutely. Lar can absolutely be trusted with this tool. And more CUs is always better, because CUs have the tendency to disappear from Commons ;) -- Bryan (talk to me) 11:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

- Support I know Lar from many other projects and he is definitely trustworthy and an excellent choice. The fact that he will mostly be a wathcer is something very important to the nature of checkuser. Cbrown1023 talk 17:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose why are more checkusers needed (not personal). NielsF talk/overleg/discussion/discussione 03:43, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- See Commons_talk:Administrators#Checkuser_and_dealing_with_users_who_violate_policies ... there are a number of people that think we do need additional ones here. You may want to discuss further there. Hhope that helps, and nothing taken personally, no worries on that score. ++Lar: t/c 03:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
