| |
| Hi! I'm [[User:NateBumber]], and I'm putting myself forward for admin user rights.
| |
|
| |
| I've maintained a more-or-less steady level of activity on the wiki since I started the ''[[Faction Paradox (series)|Faction Paradox]]'' inclusion debate seven years ago. Aside from the many articles I've written about (largely non-TV) stories, characters, and concepts, throughout this time I've maintained a special interest in moves and merges. For [[Special:Diff/2276248|over six years]] my user page has included a list of requested renames, as well as mergers, most of which I've prepared manually by moving the information (with proper CC-BY-SA attribution) or drafting the changes on a sandbox.
| |
|
| |
| Besides the aforementioned FP inclusion debate and the massive editorial project which followed, here are some of my notable efforts:
| |
| * I wrote [[Tardis:Subpage policy]], [[Forum:Temporary forums/Changing the Spoiler Policy|proposed]] the recent changes to [[Tardis:Spoiler policy]], and [[Forum:Temporary forums/Lists of Appearances|designed]] the new tabular format of [[Tenth Doctor/Appearances|/Appearances]] pages (including creating {{tlx|sortname}}). Thanks again to the admins who ratified and helped implement these proposals!
| |
| * I argued for validity of differing accounts from novelisations in [[Thread:231243]] and [[Forum:Temporary forums/Names from novelisations in page titles|Forum:Names from novelisations in page titles]]. In the process, I pored over dozens of sources to catalogue more than 100 characters who were given distinct names in novelisations.
| |
| * When the retirement of the old forums was still on the horizon, I helped our admin team by [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/User:NateBumber/Sandbox/4?oldid=2871358 indexing] the many open threads which in my judgement were ready for closure. Years later, I helped coordinate [[Forum talk:The Cloisters/Archive 1|the discussion]] which paved the way for the forums' return.
| |
| * And I'm particularly proud of pages I created which set precedents that other editors picked up on and continued, including [[Eighth Doctor novels]], [[The Doctor's ninth incarnation]], [[The Doctor's early life]], and [[Thirteenth Doctor's forced regeneration]] (or, for a more visible example of the latter, [[Romana I's regeneration]]).
| |
|
| |
| Outside of Tardis, I have some wiki admin experience from the {{iw|factionparadox|Faction Paradox Wiki}}; elsewhere around the internet, I help run the DoctorWho and Gallifrey subreddits, the Discord-partnered Doctor Who server, and a number of traditional phpBB forums, as well as non-Who-related communities like r/Stoicism. Through these roles, especially the Reddit ones, I have built up years of experience in communication and conflict resolution which I hope to bring to the admin team.
| |
|
| |
| To briefly answer some other questions from [[Tardis:How do I become an admin?]], I'll add that as an occasional professional copyeditor I have a strong grasp on spelling and grammar; I have read and understand both Tardis's and Fandom's policies; and I'm proud to say that I've dipped my toes into every single known corner of the Doctor Who universe.
| |
|
| |
| Lastly, a personal note: after being on the wiki for such a long while, why do I want adminship ''now''?
| |
| # Firstly, with RTD's recruitment year sure to bring the biggest influx of new fans and new editors the wiki has seen yet, we need more admins more than ever.
| |
| # Secondly, the forums returned with a vague goal of resolving proposals after about a month, and I'd like to help our overworked admin team fulfill that goal.
| |
| # Lastly and most importantly, ever since the resolution of the subpage threads, I feel that I've checked off the list of big changes I've hoped to propose for the wiki. My ambitions have been fulfilled, and admin n8 isn't going to be making controversial changes unilaterally. I'm finally ready to shift into maintenance mode.
| |
|
| |
| It's time to start giving back (and make a dent in [[:Category:Articles that need renaming]] 😄). I hope you'll have me! – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 18:15, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

| ====Support====
| |
| :'''Please outline the reasons you support this nomination below:'''
| |
| I am in full support of this proposal; Nate would be, in my opinion, a valuable addition to the administration team. He has provided valuable additions to many forums, and is a good writer and editor. Additionally, we have very little administrators over all, and I believe that we are going to see an influx of new users with the new Disney+ deal, and the return of REDACTED, and of course they will need to be taught our policies, and N8 is one of very few users whom I think would be suitable for the task. Moderation experience is also a useful skill to have. I fully support this proposal. <u>[[User:Aquanafrahudy|<span style="font-family: Georgia ; color: pink" title="Hallo." > Aquanafrahudy</span>]] [[User talk: Aquanafrahudy|<span title="Talk to me">📢</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Aquanafrahudy|<span title="Stuff I've done">🖊️</span>]] </u> 18:29, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

| |
| I support this self-nomination, especially highlighting the fact that many articles n8 made inspired my editing, and that he was part of what helped me begin editing in the first place. His attitude of change is very welcome, although I'm glad to hear the reassurance he won't be making unilateral decisions as an admin.
