Final (89/5/10). Closed as successful by WJBscribe at 13:33, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
It is my pleasure to present Redrose64 (talk · contribs), a highly experienced and knowledgeable editor who has finally acquiesced to stand for adminship after being pestered by several editors for more than a year.
Redrose's first edit was in May 2009 and since then has amassed an amazing 41,000 edits. His contributions are varied and cover many parts of the project, including:
This last area is where my path first crossed with Redrose and I noticed him providing helpful assistance on complex templates such as ((WPBM)) and the like. It is this area where I anticipate the extra tools being of most use to Redrose, as I am sure he will make himself useful editing high risk templates and interface pages.
Please support this valuable and trustworthy editor. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:46, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well balanced, technical, content and community asset to the project, will be a greater asset with the tools - Rich Farmbrough, 21:24, 6 October 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:
((editprotected))
. I can also see that I might have the need to protect pages (even to block users), to be used in cases like this.((db-a7))
was placed by the page creator, who should probably have used ((db-u1))
. The 20 or so actual articles presently in the cat would all seem to qualify; the most borderline is Clyde Boats but I'd tend to be swayed toward "delete" by SarekOfVulcan's comment on its talk page.((no footnotes))
and possibly drop a line on the creator's talk page - something like this or this. I could also search for a relevant WikiProject and pop their banner (in this case ((WikiProject Transport|maritime=yes))
) on the talk page, in the hope that somebody knowledgeable would have some source materials.((merge))
at the top of the article suggests Americentrism, but the linked discussion on the talk page suggests American nationalism. On the whole I'd merge to American nationalism. The second paragraph is just one sentence, and this is little more than the second entry on the dab page Americanism, so the loss of that shouldn't be a problem.((Proposed deletion/dated))
should be removed again, and the person who replaced it should be advised why this was done, also that they are still free to take the article to WP:AFD.Please keep discussion constructive and civil. If you are unfamiliar with the nominee, please thoroughly review their contributions before commenting.

and a note placed on its talk page. In Q6, Sarek asked me to assume that the article hadn't been so tagged. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:18, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]((proposed deletion/dated))
(but couldn't say which articles these were); and I'm pretty sure that I've advised somebody that they can't reinstate a ((proposed deletion/dated))
which has been removed (I don't think that it was one which I had removed myself) and suggested AFD to them. The last time I tagged something for speedy delete was as part of this discussion, but I'm sure that there have been others. I may not have been active at AFD much (although I've certainly contributed); but you should also find my name on several TFDs and CFDs, one or two FFDs and at least two MFDs. That I am not entirely ignorant of the XFD process is demonstrated here.
