Tomodachi94[edit]
RfP scheduled to end after 21 July 2023 05:02 (UTC)

Hey Wikidata! I've been around since 2020 (though I'd been editing as an IP editor since late 2019). I've created quite a few items, 41 properties, and a few lexemes (so I understand exactly how these facets of Wikidata are supposed to work). I feel that I am able to help with processing WD:RFDs and other administrative tasks. I've certainly made some errors in my editing in the past, but I have learned from those mistakes and I will not repeat them. —Tomodachi94 (he/him · talk) 05:02, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Edit: I made a typo and wrote that I had created 51 properties instead of 41 properties. This has been corrected. —Tomodachi94 (he/him · talk) 05:12, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Votes[edit]
- Support 1248 edits to the property namespace is a good application. And comments such as "I've sent two proposals back to the discussion phase because they didn't address the issues raised by voters or they were missing information." shows good judgement too. Infrastruktur (talk) 12:16, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak support until an answer to Wolverène's question below is provided. Mahir256 (talk) 14:15, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Support -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 15:01, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Support The answers to the following questions are satisfactory. I have confidence in Tomodachi94's ability to handle the WD:RFD in accordance with the wd:N policy. –– Yahya (talk) 23:47, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Support As an administrator who can handle Japanese, I look forward to working with you. あなたの活躍を期待しています。 --Okkn (talk) 01:51, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose Not enough experience with RfD while offering to help out at RfD is not a good sign. Assessing whether a deletion case is trivial or not requires a certain amount of judgement too. In addition I am not seeing counter-vandalism activity. The mishandling of a PfD at User talk:Tomodachi94/Archive/2023#PfD also suggests inexperience.--Jasper Deng (talk) 17:27, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- "The mishandling of a PfD" - If I may, please keep in mind that was four months ago, and I've learned from that error (as I mentioned above, I made some mistakes and learned from them). I'm aware this doesn't nullify the rest of your comment, but I just wanted to point this out. —Tomodachi94 (he/him · talk) 18:10, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Support I am more-less satisfied with the answers. The candidate might've been a bit hurry with applying for adminship right now, would be fine if he is going to start with the trivial deletion requests, it's helpful too. The recent contributions don't look problematic to me. --Wolverène (talk) 06:51, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral: I am a bit worried if a potential Wikidata admin has little experience with other Wikimedia projects. In total, only about 90 edits in other Wikimedia projects. For me, Wikidata is a central database of other Wikimedia projects--Estopedist1 (talk) 17:25, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral I'm not worried about experience with other projects but I kinda wish you had more experience on RfD here if that's what you plan to help most with. That said 90% of RfD candidates are uncontroversial. I hope you'll stay clear of controversial nominations until you've done this some more. BrokenSegue (talk) 18:05, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral I would like to see a bit more experience first in an ideal world, especially in the areas in which the candidate plans on being active. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 14:15, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose Not enough experience with other projects. Rzuwig► 10:32, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Rzuwig: I hope this is only because they have not that much experience on Wikidata specifically. Experience on Wikidata should be the one and only thing needed.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:26, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Initial oppose according to my analysis:
- uh no ! 41 properties only have been created by you and to be completed by important statements (after your visit).
- Of the 5 lexemes created, there are gaps when you are done editing them: incomplete and unreferenced, with unresolved suggestions.
- Your various undos (combined) reach 140 and are fewer than your reverted edits. How to explain that? Mainly your own undos perhaps with 30
mw-reverted
in addition. It doesn't give me confidence. - Your involvement in the Wikidata namespace is currently at 255 edits. If we remove the few editions for rights, you mainly go to Property proposal. It does not give a strong implication and goes against your presentation above.
- Finally, this does not respect Help:Description (a basic guideline in my opinion). Your motivation and your experience are lacking in my opinion. Cordially. ―Eihel (talk) 11:22, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- "41 properties only have been created by you" - I made a typo in this RFP, I'm very sorry for making that mistake.
- "unresolved suggestions" - Could you elaborate on this a little more? Suggestions by whom?
- "Your motivation[... is] lacking" - I respectfully disagree with this assessment. Please refer to the edit counter by month on XTools; I have consistently been making edits nearing a thousand a month, most of which are by hand. (The exception would be last month, June 2023; I was extremely busy that month, so I didn't have enough time for Wikidata.)

- Oppose As per Jasper Deng and Eihel. Jonathan Groß (talk) 18:28, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comments[edit]
- Hello. You've implied that you would like to work actively at WD:RFD, but as I see you made only 10 edits there. Among the pages nominated there, can you maybe analyze some of them? which ones could've been deleted and which could've been kept by you (if you were an admin)? Just some examples, if you don't mind. Regards, --Wolverène (talk) 05:49, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Wolverène, I'm mostly aiming to deal with more trivial requests. For example:
- Earlier today there were a bunch of broken redirects that someone had requested be deleted. Those are clearly Delete.
- There are a few musicians who do not appear to meet WD:N. We should verify with a Google search that they do not have press coverage, then we should Delete them if they have none.
- There is a scholarly article with the message 'completely incorrect' in the deletion request. This message is very ambiguous, so we should request more information about the article; is the item 'completely incorrect', or is the article itself 'completely incorrect'? In both cases, I would Keep since we usually correct items that have incorrect statements in them; having an item for a 'completely incorrect' article is useful if the article itself has retraction notices, amendments, and other such documents associated with them. (I cannot speak or read Chinese, so I cannot determine if the article is 'completely incorrect'.)

- Followup to the third bullet point, it turns out the deletion request was made in error. —Tomodachi94 (he/him · talk) 01:26, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
