Krimpet[edit]

Hello! I'm Krimpet. I am an administrator on the Wikimedia Commons and the English Wikipedia, and am also a volunteer on the OTRS team, handling the info-en, permissions, and unblock queues. I speak English natively, as well as some Spanish.

I am interested in helping out with some of the administrative tasks here on Meta where I believe I could lend a hand, in tasks of both local and inter-wiki concern - tweaking parts of the MediaWiki: namespace (such as maintaining the links to editing and user information tools), maintaining the spam and title blacklists, maintaining and fixing the project portals, and cleaning and housekeeping the many historical bits here on Meta (such as the pages to be moved to MediaWiki.org, which I've recently started combing through and importing, having transwiki and temporary sysop there for that purpose), as well as any other areas that need aid.

I'm also very available and approachable, via the e-mail tool, or on Freenode IRC where I am quite active (my nick is also "Krimpet"; I'm usually around in the #wikimedia, -commons, -ops, and #wikipedia channels), and always willing to help lend a hand. krimpet✽ 03:58, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - while I respect Krimpet's work on en and commons, she has barely made any edits on Meta, and even then, most of them were made today. I would ask that she ups her activity consistently, shows a demonstrable knowledge of policy, and tries again in a few months. --Anonymous Dissident^Talk 04:20, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Krimpet has already told me (elsewhere) that she's interested in working with the Meta community, and I trust the decision. Most importantly for Meta sysops, she's aware that there are some pages on Meta that are quite sensitive, and as she subscribes to the Meta blacklists (among other things), she knows the problems a malformed entry can cause. We can wait, but Meta can always use more trusted hands. Kylu 05:30, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm afraid I have to agree with Anonymous Dissident. Adambro 05:44, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Meta can use the help, and does a good job. SirFozzie 05:51, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support I trust Krimpet in her abilities and think she would make good use of the tools here at meta. --Charitwo 05:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - per anon-diss, sorry but you should have asked someone from meta before running for adminship here, since firstly you are sort of too inactive and secondly you have just over a 100 edits which is not really a criteria anymore but it dates back to april 2007, which means you are a bit too inactive, trust is not a problem, but trust alone cannot be a good indicator, in other words, you don't really meet the desired requirements...--Comet styles 06:16, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sadly I'm afraid. However in my mind not particularly active on Meta (& frankly not that active on Commons). It is great to have people to help on Meta. To anyone I would say "do as you would on any other wiki, help first then request the tools". --Herby ^{talk thyme} 06:54, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Kylu --.snoopy.  07:29, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as per others. Emesee 08:15, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per AnonDiss et al. Why don't you wait a few months and then come back? I'm sure you'll have bigger support then, seeing as trustworthiness is not a problem. No one got promoted beforehand, so you just have to be active here for a while. --FiliP × 08:30, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Anonymous Dissident has made a good point. Its too early, I think. --Thogo (talk) 10:19, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Basically inactive, but would be willing to support with more activity in a month or two. Majorly ^talk 13:32, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per above. Alex Pereira ^falaê 18:03, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support If user becomes more active. Trusted editor elsewhere, especially on MediaWiki.org. --Kelsington 18:44, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral No doubt in my mind about how trustworthy she is, but the inactivity thing... meh. EVula // talk // ☯ // 19:02, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A bit inactive for my taste. Nishkid64 (talk) 22:02, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You state you wish to work on the blacklist - I welcome that, but note that you have done no work there yet. As is usually the case, one should show some need for the tools prior to a request. Some work in that area would garner more support than a promise to work in the future, especially given your activity levels here to date. Oppose on those grounds. — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 02:49, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- To be fair, it's impossible for a non-admin to edit the blacklist... EVula // talk // ☯ // 03:07, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Err - no it is not. Reviewing of the websites, requests & particularly de-listing requests is useful work & can be done by anyone. Reviewing bot reported sites & making recommendations would also be good. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 06:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - See, this is why I usually just keep my damn mouth shut. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:59, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I should note that work on Talk:Spam blacklist is an excellent way to get someone to nominate you :) We need more hands, and if you do good work we will likely want you as an admin here. — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 18:01, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support per most of the above, and, c'mon... She's trusted at a bunch of other relevant projects, does ~~good~~great work there, and, wants to help here.... SQL ^{Query me!} 05:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support; trustworthy regardless of activity levels. —Giggy 06:02, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Anonymous Dissident. I think it's too premature; I would like to see more experience on Meta. Korg 17:55, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
oppose, please show this is meant serious by contributing here first, help is always very welcomed, for wanting to helping sysop tools are not necesary, they might become handy later, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| ∇ 16:13, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for now, but later you may become ready for this responsibility. Huji 19:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support, agree with Kylu's comment above. Cirt 19:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Tacaíocht - per Kylu, above - Alison ^❤ 08:03, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral --Marbot 18:57, 14 July 2008 (UTC) To early, lack of activity at this point.[reply]

Closed - no consensus to promote at this time ++Lar: t/c 04:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
