With unanimous support IOHANNVSVERVS is now an administrator. GMG ^talk 15:42, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

IOHANNVSVERVS (talk · contributions)

I would like to become an administrator. I'm a long time user and am dedicated to the Wikiquote project and its policies. Immediate motive to become an admin is to be able to archive entries at the reference desk (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikiquote_talk:Reference_desk#How_to_archive_entries). This is my second request for adminship, previous request was 2015 (see below). IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 14:03, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I have seen this long-time user grow in their knowledge and participation in the site through the years. They have been a conscientious member of the community looking to improve it where possible. I believe they would be a welcome addition to the admin team. ~ UDScott (talk) 16:36, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support Agreed with the above. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:19, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support — We certainly need more active admins, and I myself have been so busy with other matters offline that I had not even noticed the self-nomination had been made in recent days until a few minutes ago. ~ ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki ⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 02:15, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support

Support, for his erudite contributions and collaborative spirit. ~ DanielTom (talk) 10:10, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

Oppose for now. With some 400 edits in 2½ months, IOHANNVSVERVS is off to a good start. However, I think it takes closer to 1,000 edits over a period of several months, including both editing articles and participating in community affairs, to learn the written and unwritten rules of the community and to demonstrate proficiency. I encourage IOHANNVSVERVS to keep at it, and to reapply after gaining more experience. ~ Ningauble (talk) 20:53, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Some hints:
1. Please sign your posts in discussion pages (such as the nomination/application above).
2. To figure out technical tricks like listing a discussion you can review the page history to see how "transclusion" is done.
3. Please provide a reason in deletion request templates. (Even when it seems obvious, administrators should state a reason in the deletion log because the page itself will no longer be visible.)
Keep on editing... ~ Ningauble (talk) 20:53, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, Ningauble. Thanks for the encouragement and advice. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 03:37, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ningauble: it's funny, I have the exact opposite concern! First of all, to answer your points—and as you no doubt know—, even very experienced admins: 1) occasionally forget to sign; 2) have had trouble setting up their own request for adminship on Wikiquote correctly (even after several tries); 3) once they become admins, have access to a list of reasons to choose from when deleting pages, which I'm sure IOHANNVSVERVS would use properly. Now, more to the point, if IOHANNVSVERVS really only has "2½ months" of experience, then (to my mind) even just using {{delete}} to tag a page for deletion is already quite a technical achievement (not to mention his first edit here). So maybe I should ask (if I may) IOHANNVSVERVS a question: do you have any previous wiki experience? ~ DanielTom (talk) 10:17, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Response: Before IOHANNVSVERVS I had some few months of anonymous editing[1] and I've been contributing to Wiktionary since October of 2014[2].

Okay, thanks. ~ DanielTom (talk) 19:58, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Agree with Ningauble (talk · contributions), above. 400 edits in about 2 months is not enough experience. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 17:03, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Yes, off to a good start. Keep it up and try again in a few months.--Abramsky (talk) 13:42, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
