  19. Strongest possible support. Natalya is an extremely courteous Wikipedian, active on RC patrol, and the mediation at WP:GAN left me completely impressed. She has done a bulk of the boring, repetitive and thankless work of disambiguating pages, and has good contributions to the article namespace. I don't have any reservations as to her preparedness for the position. Titoxd(?!? - help us) 21:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  35. Support. A little low on edits, perhaps, but they do appear to be of good quality. As a huge plus, she appears to be a tireless contributer to one of the less-sexy aspects of editing (to some, at least). Although i have no personal experience of interaction with her, she seems like a solid candidate. Thats good enough for me. Rockpocket -talk- 06:54, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That, and the fact that I think she's been 'around' enough to get a good grasp on policy and the places and people to go to if she has dobuts, makes me very confident to support her. --JoanneB 17:53, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

She's always patient, considerate, helpful and friendly to everyone and makes a much better Esperanzian than I am or ever will be. She really does put the rest of us to shame.

    May I ask what aspect she fails? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 21:04, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Likely that I haven't worked towards getting at least one article to FA status, as the standard is stated. -- Natalya 21:10, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Do you fail 1FA if you wrote an entire FAC article by yourself, but can't get it promoted because the community doesn't respect you and makes a mockery of your FAC? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 21:12, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I presume you are referring to the frustrations of trying to get Torchic past FAC? Mockery and disrespect on FAC is regrettable (that being said, I have experienced that myself), and Raul usually does not take them into consideration when concluding FACs if he sees no reasonable objection that is actionable. If you need assistance on your FAC article, let me know and I'll see if I can help you. - Mailer Diablo 14:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Neutral an exceptional part of the community, seems very friendly and approachable, and a great facilitator with respect to dispute resolution. I just would have liked to have seen her edit more substantially in the mainspace in terms of article content. I see that as an important part of understanding content as part of the encyclopedia. Thanks -- Samir धर्म 12:25, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: I know that as an administrator, there are many unexpected situations that come up that require administrator intervention. Of the many expected situations that also require administrator help, there are a number of things I look forward to assisting with. One is keeping up with violations listed at WP:AN/3RR, and investigating the situations in order to decide the best course of action and length of block (if at all). Another is keeping watch on WP:AIV in order to swiftly stop vandals hindering the progress of Wikipedia. Along with vandalism, I hope to aid in quick reversion of vandalism that has occurred, both through #vandalism-en-wp and elsewhere. While I already participate in such vandalism reversion, use of the rollback tool will indoubtably make it faster and more effective. I anticipate being active at WP:AN/I and requests for investigation, and dealing with situations that are brought up there. As I gain experience as an administrator, I also hope to work at stopping long term abuse. Additionally, I look forward to being able to assist with requests and problems brought up at the Help Desk and the New contributors' help page that require administrator assistance.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I am very proud of my edits to aid in the disambiguation of Wikipedia. I am active at WikiProject Disambiguation, cleaning up pages listed at Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup, and discussing all matters of disambiguation. I participate in much discussion at the Manual of Style for disambiguation pages regarding the style and function of the pages. I also work at Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links, where links to disambiguation pages are corrected to link to the correct article. Additionally, I often keep track of articles from Special:Newpages requiring disambiguation assistance, so that the problems can be quickly and easily corrected. Disambiguation pages aid in the navigation of Wikipedia, and I am happy that I am able to make this navigation clearer and easier for everyone. Additionally, I am very pleased with Quint (fire apparatus), which was the first "real" article that I created and completely wrote.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A: Like almost every other contributor, I have certainly been in disagreements with other users. However, I attribute my calm attitude and drive for compromise to the fact that not one of these disagreements has escalated into anything notable. When reverting vandalism and working on disambiguation pages, there are always conflicts of ideas. I feel that in situations where both parties are trying to work for the best (and even when it may not seem like it), discussing before acting provides the best solutions, and I will always discuss things with any users that disagree with or have questions about any of my actions.
I have been involved in the disputes of other users, sometimes being requested to give a third opinion or outside idea. I recently assisted in an informal mediation at the Good articles project. The discussion is currently in the process of wrapping up, and while no large actions were taken, I am happy that I was able to aid in the understanding of disagreeing parties, and help to calm down the situation. I look forward to doing so in the future, and have learned much from the experience.

Questions from HighwayCello

1. You come across an editor who has migrated through dozens of video game character articles and resized the image and removed the caption. The vandal has done with harmful intent to all the articles twice in one day, the first time 8 hours prior, and the second, 30 minutes before you noticed. The vandal has received two single warnings despite the widespread vandalism, one for the first round, and another just as the editor stopped editting. What would be your course of action?
A. I would first leave a ((test3)) or ((test4)) warning on the user's page, depending on what warnings had been used previously. I would also leave a more detailed message regarding what the problem with modifying the images is, as they may not be actually aware why they should have stopped (as opposed to blanking pages and replacing them by writing 'WIKIPEDIA SUXX0RS' or 'I <3 poop', which is obviously harmful). I would then monitor their edits immediately after, to see if they continued or not. If they were to continue with the image resizing and caption-deleting, I would block them, with the time depending on if there were any previous blocks. If they did stop, I would probably keep them on my watchlist for a bit to make sure they didn't continue in the near future. And of course, revert their changes.
2. You are viewing the page for a Fair Use image and you notice that it links to several user pages. You view the first user page and notice that the user has severl custom userboxes with fair use images as well as a fair use image gallery. What would your course of action be initially? What would your course of action be if the user didn't remove the images?
A. Since Fair Use images are only supposed to be used in the main namespace (with case-by-case exceptions), I would first contact the user on their talk page to explain the general idea of what a fair use image is (since they may not know), and explain why they cannot be used on their user page. I would cite specific references from Wikipedia:Fair use in order to make the reasoning behind why they cannot be used on user pages understood but clear - in particular, the Policy section. If they did not remove the images, I might make suggestions of possible replacements (in an attempt to be helpful), but if they still refused, I would delete them, giving clear explanation of why it was done. If they persisted in repeatedly putting them back on, after warning them about what they are doing, it would likely constitute a block.
3. Is there any particular reason you haven't contributed or wrote a Featured article? Is it something you are against, or have you never gotten around to it? Do you not feel you have enough knowledge to do so?
A. I have the highest amount of respect for Featured Articles, the articles which are candidates, and those who work on them. Certainly I am not against them, if anything I would push for them! When it comes to contributing to a Featured Article. I would say that I've "never gotten around to it". However, I have been keeping my eye on two articles in particular that I think would be good to work up to Featured Article status, both of which I have some knowledge of and an interest in. One of them is Nertz, which is about a solitaire-esque card game. Though the article is in a very rough state at the moment, I could see it being improved very well, especially because there are some dedicated contributors to the article. The other is Hashshashin, about an Islamic sect from days of yore. The article is in better status than Nertz, and while it definitly has a lot more information that could be added, as well as references, I think it would be very promising.

Optional Question from AmiDaniel

1. Have you, either in your interactions with users or in editing, made any decisions that you regret? How were these mistakes brought to your attention, and how did you respond? Please cite specific examples where possible.
A: There are always silly things that I, and probably everyone else, regret doing when we're editing, like leaving out a period or misspelling something (and not catching it before saving the page), but those are all easily corrected. I can think of a couple instances where I really did regret what I did. However, once realizing that I should have done something different, I immediately acted to remedy the situation, and both times things turned out okay.
The first situation occurred during the Good articles mediation. Much discussion had been going on, and we were moving towards trying to find possible solutions. In hopes that something would show more support over the others, I posted a series of possible solutions, and asked all editors participating in the mediation to comment. However, this did not work out quite as planned, and about no one agreed with anything,. Realizing that a much better option would be to have the editors brainstorm some solutions, I halted that section and created a second section, where the editors discussed their own solutions. This worked out much better, and led to large amounts of productive discussion.
The second situation occurred during my interactions with a user just days ago. I had been working with User:Carcharoth to clean up the disambiguation page Diaphragm. We were disagreeing on a few things relating to the Manual of Style, and there was a bunch of discussion going on at Talk:Diaphragm. I pointed out to Carcharoth, in a bit of a curt manner, the Wikiproject Disambiguation Pages With Links, having forgotten that he had already brought up discussion there, and must therefore know about it! Afterwards, feeling that I had been much too rude when there was no offence, I apologized, and it was well recieved. Still, I probably should have done a bit more assuming of the good faith in that situation.

Question from ShortJason:

1. How do you feel about User:ShootJar/ProtectionProposal? ShortJason 23:09, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
A: It is an interesting proposal, and obviously one that took a lot of time to craft. However, I feel that its usefulness may be hard to show, and that it would be rather difficult to enforce. The edit count requirements may not prevent users from vandalising, especially if it is an often-used IP. And while keeping track of blocks is a good idea, I can already see a large number of situations arising where people would have been incorrectly blocked or had the blocked removed, and therefore will need to be approved for editing these pages, which may turn out to be more hassle then help. While the current page protection policy is not perfect, no policy ever is, and it does a pretty good job.

Question from Kilo-Lima:

1. What would you prefer? Häagen-Dazs or Carte d'Or? Kilo-Lima|(talk) 14:00, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
A: Hmm... this is certainly a tough one. ;) I've had Häagen-Dazs before, but I'm always up for trying new ice cream - bring on the Carte d'Or! (or Walls, whichever it is called) -- Natalya 14:28, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
