Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/Uncle G

+Administrator

I'm nominating Uncle G because he has proven himself to be an avid supporter of new ideas here on Wikibooks and has a very through understanding of policies both here at Wikibooks and elsewhere on other Wikimedia projects. By looking at his list of contributions, he has also been very active in a wide number of areas on Wikibooks, and has made numerous positive contribution. I have not agreed with him on some issues, but his replies have always been well versed and based on solid principles and concepts, even when I thought he was wrong. I don't expect him to be 100% active in administrative duties, but we certainly can use some more administrators here on Wikibooks, and this is one person who I would not object to at all becoming an adminstrator. I hope you accept this nomination. --Rob Horning 10:51, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[]

  • My reply is the same as it was at Wiktionary, Wikinews, and Wikipedia. As far as I'm concerned, what are important are whether you (plural) think that I can be trusted with the abilities to delete/undelete/protect/unprotect articles and block/unblock users; and whether giving me those tools will benefit the project. I haven't nominated myself anywhere, but I have accepted where nominated. In addition to my edit history here, you may also consider whether you think that that trust would be well placed by looking at my history of wielding (and indeed not wielding) administrator tools on the aforementioned three projects. As I said the very first time at Wiktionary, much of what I do doesn't involve the need for administrator tools, although I add to that from experience since then that the ability to actually block Ass Pus straightaway and then roll back efficiently has proven to be handy.

  • Support -- From what I've seen of Uncle G I can be sure that we can trust him with our little book project we have going here. :-) MShonle 19:54, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[]

+CheckUser

Uncle G is a long time sysop of Wikibooks and is really devoted to site cleanup. He fights vandals, deletes rubbish and is active on the project. I don't know him personally, so I think he would be good person to control my CheckUser activity. I hope he will be accepted by the community of Wikibooks. --Derbeth talk 21:10, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[]

For what it's worth, I plan to be very strict about user privacy. Uncle G 23:41, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[]

I've come back to this discussion after a period of absence, to find to my surprise that it is still going! Uncle G 15:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[]
Withdrawing my vote due to inactivity (neutral, not opposing). --SB_Johnny | talk 21:41, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[]
Could not achieve in almost a year's time. Stagnated and thus failed. -withinfocus 02:35, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[]

Based on VVV's adminstats tool, which counts admin actions, not edit (so I may have missed someone inactive). — Mike.lifeguard | talk 21:41, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[]
