Support

Support Thedarkknightli (talk) 22:17, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support The editor has been contributing since September 2017, for nearly two years. No problems with the editor were raised by the opposition in this vote; the comment "inexperienced" is hard to understand given the contribution history, and the 2nd oppose vote states no rationale for opposition. I don't like the user name and the signature, but that's a minor thing, I hope. The English Wiktionary needs an easy desysopping policy via introduction of votes of confidence, wherein a 2/3 supermajority is required to keep the adminship, or, as an alternative policy, at least 1/2 majority. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:50, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

Oppose - seems a reasonable editor of Japanese entries, but no evidence that he has ever dealt with vandalism or has needed admin powers. SemperBlotto (talk) 14:31, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@SemperBlotto: dealing with vandalism was long ago, have you not checked my past contributions? If you like, I will be more vigilant in the Recent Changes for your benefit.

Regarding admin powers, I have some experience in administration in another MediaWiki-like website. Would you like a sampling? ～ POKéTalker（═◉═） 00:14, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose (Thedarkknightli, don't nominate users without their permission first) --{{victar|talk}} 07:07, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Victar: I would be intrigued on @Thedarkknightli's decision only by my revision of 燕雀安知鴻鵠志 and it's smaller cousin 鴻鵠之志. ～ POKéTalker（═◉═） 00:14, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Inexperienced. Allahverdi Verdizade (talk) 11:00, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Allahverdi Verdizade: how so? Was my reaction to one of your edits pose a disturbance? ～ POKéTalker（═◉═） 21:16, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Vote changed from Abstain. DonnanZ (talk) 12:27, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Abstain

~~Abstain~~: I have no knowledge of this user nor of the nominator, nor has the reason why adminship is being sought been explained. DonnanZ (talk) 22:31, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nor has the nomination been accepted. DonnanZ (talk) 10:05, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Or notified. I've added the {{premature}} banner for now. ~~←₰-→~~ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 12:06, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the template. If you like, you can extend by a day or two... ～ POKéTalker（═◉═） 14:24, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Poketalker I don't think that's necessary, the template was only there for two hours. Also, remember that admins need to have the email function enabled. ~~←₰-→~~ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 09:41, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Normally, doing {{d}}'s on categories or articles created in error. ～ POKéTalker（═◉═） 00:15, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to Oppose. DonnanZ (talk) 12:32, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Abstain, same as Donnanz. ~~←₰-→~~ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 09:26, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Abstain. Canonicalization (talk) 10:03, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Abstain User has been here for 2 years so probably trustable! but doesn't seem to work in English, so I'm ignorant of their work. Also I'm not really familiar with the name. Equinox ◑ 11:37, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
