Clear consensus to become a BAG member. -- Avi (talk) 22:22, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BAG Nomination: Harej[edit]

• Harej (talk · contribs)

Harej has been operating bots since before I joined Wikipedia. More recently he has undertaken the difficult task of running a date delinking bot. In undertaking this task he has shown a detailed understanding of policy and a willingness to comply with both the letter and spirit of complex rules. I believe he would make a good addition to the BAG.

Candidate acceptance:

Discussion[edit]

What BAG work do you intend to do? I ask because we've had a large number of people become BAG members for the hat value alone. --MZMcBride (talk) 23:00, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will read and give feedback on ongoing bot requests for approval. I will approve bots for trial where necessary. I will approve bots for flagging and then use my persistent IRC access to pester a bureaucrat to give the bot flag. I will also use my weight to make the process more efficient where I see fit. Having gone through the BRFA process myself recently, I know how much everyone wants a fast process that works well. @harej 23:20, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Support Probably non-BAG members votes are spit upon, but I think BAG members need some help and Harej is responsible and communicative. --IP69.226.103.13 (talk) 21:13, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Just a note that the reason why nominees are required to notify all of the pages that are listed in the policy is to ensure non-BAG members take part in the discussion (I know because I'm the one who added the requirement to the policy). MBisanz ^talk 01:47, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Support I believe the BAG serves an important function to ensure that the bots operate productively and efficiently and (most importantly) within the scope of their stated objectives. Harej has demonstrated a respect for the bot approval cycle, an attention to detail, and a responsiveness to inquiries during his own bot operations that makes me believe that he would be a definite asset to the BAG. -- Tom N (tcncv) talk/contrib 04:16, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Support As an experienced, respected bot-operator, Harej is very qualified for this position; I think he will make a good addition to BAG. I'd also like to thank him for User:RFC bot, which is a big help at MfD (and, I gather, at RfC). A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 05:23, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Support Clear understanding of bot policies in addition to being rather skilled at coding himself. Responsive to questions and thoughtful in handling situations. Would be an excellent addition. Shell ^babelfish 06:12, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
