Happy-melon (talk · contribs) - I am pleased to nominate Happy-melon, the user responsible for the restructure of Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors/Requests. His efforts over the past few months have transformed the page from a cumbersome mess into an efficient automated system, maintained by himself and his bot User:MelonBot. This is likely to have a major impact on the improvement of articles across Wikipedia. Other achievements during his two years at Wikipedia include helping to get Emma Watson and Wicked (musical) to Good Article status, and List of poker hands to Featured List status. He is very active at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion, and has participated in numerous notability guideline discussions. Happy-melon is a civil and devoted editor, who would be a great asset as an administrator. Epbr123 (talk) 21:18, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
rollback
link - myself!! The ability to clean up after myself when working on Wikipedia's infrastructure will be invaluable; as will the ability to edit protected templates. Reorganisations like this would be much more straightforward if I didn't have to keep asking admins for the necessary changes.((!))
is one too many! Given the polar opposite requirements for these two groups, it's not surprising that our policy is also diametrically different. We strongly encourage voters to 'select' themselves, either by watchlisting WP:RFA, or by responding to ((rfa-notice))
; but we very strongly discourage anyone searching for voters themselves. With nominations it's the opposite - there are editors (it looks like I was found by one of them) who spend most of their time on Wikipedia looking for good admin candidates, and their contribution to the project is as invaluable as the top FA author. But we fairly strongly (and increasingly so) discourage users from selecting themselves for RfA, as expecting them to be impartial in such a decision is of course impossible. I guess I just feel that sentiment more strongly than some. Happy‑melon 12:58, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]Please keep discussion constructive and civil. If you are unfamiliar with the nominee, please thoroughly review Special:Contributions/Happy-melon before commenting.
