NielsF

edit count

I am nominating NielsF for adminship. He is a very active member of nl.wp, where he is an admin, and speaks another four languages besides (including it-3). He has shown great patience and willingness to work with the Commons community in order to improve inter-project communication, and for this reason I consider he will be a great asset to the Commons.

I accept the nomination. As a Commons admin my first interest would be in trying to improve coöperation and collaboration between nl.wikipedia and Commons. I'm not completely up to speed of Commons procedures and policies but I will of course first acquaint myself with them before using admin "powers". Speaking of these "powers", I would use them for (amongst others): streamlining the Dutch-language user interface (MediaWiki texts), which at the moment are somehow slightly different from all other Dutch-language projects (which is confusing sometimes), helping to clear the backlog of images to be deleted, and other maintenance work.

•  Support Communication situation with Dutch Wikipedia should be improved. However more Commons experience will be big plus. I hope, candidate knows from Dutch Wikipedia experience which actions must be avoided :-). --EugeneZelenko 14:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
•  Comment I would like to see a great deal more edits before supporting this candidate, although I'm pleased to see substantial involvement in the community. Cary "Bastique" Bass ^parler _voir 17:03, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

  Ok, I'll work on this. Not being appointed as administrator is not an extremely big deal, however I think as one I could help out on a lot of issues. NielsF 06:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

•  Support, good contributions here and on other wikis. --tomf688 (talk - email) 14:04, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  •  Oppose, wait a minute, only 128 edits, and not very high activity. --tomf688 (talk - email) 14:56, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

•  Support Siebrand 18:06, 3 June 2006 (UTC) If Niels wants to go for it, I'm sure he's up to it.
•  Oppose I'm new here, but active on en.wikipedia, and I don't get how a user with only 127 edits can become an admin, only because he's active on another wikiproject in another language. Then, can I become an admin, because I've got nearly 5000 edits on en.wp and I'm an admin.--Shreshth91 09:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Note that COM:A#What_is_expected_from_an_administrator.3F explicitly states what is officially required. Individuals may of course have their own standards and expectations. pfctdayelise (translate?) 11:13, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
•  Agree I agree with Bastique and Shreshth91 that 127 edits are very few edits, but in this case I believe he can make a good job and he may be a good administrator. --Prevert^(talk) 17:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
