FloNight (talk · contributions)

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, I present to you FloNight. If you're confused about why I'd submit a sysop's name here on RfA, you're just as confused as I was when I realized that she wasn't one already. :)

FloNight casts a wide net here on Wikiquote, improving the site in many different ways: providing sound rationales in VfDs,[2] general cleanup,[3] finding sourced quotes[4], and salvaging articles that come up on VfD (see VfD/Bear Bryant and count how many times her efforts are cited as being the reason to keep the article). She's nominated a few dozen articles for VfD, and has helped to revert vandalism.

On top of this, she has ample experience with the tools; in addition to a sysop flag on the English Wikisource, she's an administrator, CheckUser, and oversighter on the English Wikipedia.

Though she's obviously dedicated to the site (she's got more edits now than I did when I ran a month ago), I think we should finish digging our hooks into her by appointing her as a sysop. ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 23:01, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Acceptance: Thank you, EVula for the kind words. I accept the nomination. FloNight♥♥♥ 14:22, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

• Support - Agree with EVula (talk · contributions)'s wise words, above. FloNight (talk · contributions) is a great asset to this project. Thank you for volunteering to help out in this added capacity. Cirt (talk) 17:12, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
• Support - A welcome addition to the team who is already helping in many areas. ~ UDScott 02:12, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
• Support – FloNight (talk · contributions) seems like... no... is a very dedicated user to the English Wikiquote. She has done a whole lot to expand and help our project in many ways. She has done a good amount of article work and cleanup, along with vandalism reverting. I'm most impressed with FloNight's participation at WQ:VfD and have enjoyed her help there since she pretty much always gives a good rational for her !vote which helps bring many VfDs to reach consensus. FloNight could do more positive tasks with the help from the administrative tools such as closing VfDs when the time comes to close them, blocking disruptive users and vandals, etc. I know she knows what to do as an administrator since she does have experience as one as mentioned in EVula (talk · contributions)'s nomination on other Wikimedia Foundation wikis, so we shouldn't have a problem with her asking how to use the tools correctly and all that. Overall, FloNight will do just fine as an administrator for the English Wikiquote, and I trust her as one. – RyanCross (talk) 04:49, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

• Support - you forgot arbitrator ;). Trust her with the tools. Will ^(talk) 21:38, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

  Haha, so I did. That's what I get for only looking at the SUL report... they really should assign an empty group name for ArbCom members, just as an extra layer of validation. EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:15, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

• Support. - I would have done so earlier, but as power and cable are still out at my home, due to an ice storm, and I'm only checking in her briefly each day, from another location, I had not noticed the nomination until a few minutes ago. Kalki 21:42, 16 December 2008 (UTC).

FloNight is now an administrator. ~ Kalki 09:17, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks to you all for your support and kind comments. Let me know if I can be of help to you. FloNight♥♥♥ 12:20, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
