Giggy[edit]

~~Ending: 23:50, 22 May 2008 (UTC)~~ Withdrawn by candidate

Hi, I'm Giggy (it's also my SUL). I've been active on Meta a bit of late and have generally been kinda-active for a while. I've been an admin on commons: for about 6 months (RfA) and have done plenty of work cleaning up around there - deleting, blocking, protecting, and the like.

On Meta I'd like to help with some of the backlogs on image related stuff - as I write this there is a backlog back to 8 Novmeber 2007 (before I became a Commons admin) in Category:Images with unknown source, and with Meta:Exemption doctrine policy coming there will probably see a rise in images for deletion. I haven't been greatly active in tagging images here for deletion as I generally get beaten to it (:() but I think the work I've done on Commons shows I know how to check an image description page for a source, lisence, or permission! I have been somewhat active around Meta:Requests for deletion and could help out there as well if sysopped.

Per requirements, I have over 100 edits on Meta and on other projects (EnWP and Commons), I am a Commons admin, I have a Meta userpage, and I should have email enabled (will check after saving this) - in any case I'm g1ggyman@gmail.com. I am also contactable via some instant messagers; there's plenty of information at w:User:Dihydrogen Monoxide/Contact.

Thanks for considering me for adminship. Cheers, giggy _(:O) 23:49, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose He has literally, just a few minutes ago, falsely accused me of trying to gain checkusership for the sole purpose of trying to find people's personal information. I find this just so utterly unbelievable I can't do anything but oppose here. Additionally, I find him immature and not at all suited. Majorly (talk) 00:00, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- This is the relevant post. Majorly (talk) 00:06, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - though Majorly's claims are "scary", I will oppose him only because in my mind, he is a bit too immature, bit prejudiced at times, though he is really trustworthy, I do believe he doesn't have enough knowledge of what Meta is all about 'yet'..I'll give him time and will definitely support his next RfA, in a couple of months :) ...--Comet styles 00:05, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your comments Comet...I see your point, I guess I was coming into this with a bit less experience than I could...but we'll see what others think. giggy _(:O) 00:57, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Sorry but I think Cometstyles has a good point there. Huji 07:26, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Cometstyles sums it up, plus you caused quite enough internet drama on wikipedia before. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 10:01, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Alex Pereira ^falaê 20:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Comets. A bit more experience on meta would help. --Az1568 23:58, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks all for commenting. I withdraw this nomination. I will do my best to take on board the useful constructive criticism that was provided here by some users. I'm not sure how to close it up, so if someone else could, it'd be appreciated. Cheers, giggy _(:O) 01:11, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
