RfP scheduled to end after 2 July 2023 18:46 (UTC)

User:Wolverène has been an active member of our community for a long time. They participate in the main namespace, doing anti-vandal on all namespaces work and doing anti-spam work in requests for deletion. I think we could use more admin help across the board (see [1] for evidence of this) and this seems like an uncontroversial pick. --BrokenSegue (talk) 18:46, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

  • Thank you for your trust, BrokenSegue. I accept the nomination. I feel that I'm ready to 'level up' and to get administrator permissions in order to delete/undelete items and to block the WD policy violators - at least, obvious vandals. I have an experience of being test sysop on a couple of smaller Wikipedias, so be sure I won't mess things up. Regards, Wolverène (talk) 18:52, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do not necessarily oppose but I would like to bring for discussion a couple of diffs from 2019: this reaction of the candidate to my warning about edit-warring and this edit summary related to the same episode.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:49, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I had not seen this. yeah this edit comment is especially concerning (I won't pretend to understand the subtleties of what the argument was about re: spelling). I would like to hear @Wolverène:'s thoughts on this. This was several years ago... BrokenSegue (talk) 19:00, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The comment is actually pro-Ukrainian (not worded in the best way), but edit-warring was concerning, this is why I issued a warning. Ymblanter (talk) 19:05, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    (ed.conf.) Thanks for pointing. Well, let me clarify. I was involved in the conflict with one of the users nearly three years ago and it's somewhat awkward to recall it because it seems it was my only strong conflict here. The problem was in the spelling of the name of a Crimea-based person - the user insisted in romanization from the Russian-language spelling, which I decided inacceptable because Crimea is recognized as a part of Ukraine by most of countries. I believed that the romanization should be performed from the person's Ukrainian name (especially because the person's main activity happened before 2014), and I switched quickly to an unacceptable way of defending his case, including insults and far-fetched accusations of working for the Kremlin which I could never prove, indeed.
    I allowed myself to be rude with the user and I continued this even after the warning. I regret such an ugly behaviour. In my defense, I could say that after 3+ years I wouldn't allow myself to such a kind of expressions and besides that, I became more tolerant to other people's views and I'm ready for discussions in order to keep a content neutral. Being politically biased and rude is disgusting from the side of an administrator, so if I'd become one I would never talk to people like in that 2019 situation.
    I fully understand that such a controversial incident may be disappointing to those who supported me within the request, so I'm just asking to accept my sincere repentance. --Wolverène (talk) 19:37, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    P.S. I restored that topic completely on my talk page, beyond an archive. Of course, after a few years it'd be hard to restart that talking, and I have nothing more to say on how to translate Геннадий Борисов properly into English. --Wolverène (talk) 19:46, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
