Edit count Account creation 3/16/18 Blocks I've made, I always try to leave extended rationales for more complicated blocks (example). I’ve made around 100 or so blocks for copyright violations.
I was an Arb clerk from January 2020 to September 2021. I'm not putting much stock into it towards resolving disputes, since it mostly consisted of paperwork and informing parties of the rules. It did however get me acquainted with the responsibilities and workload that comes with the job. I was a moderator on the Wikipedia Discord starting in June 2021 before resigning a few minutes ago. Being a moderator involved dealing with users who were being disruptive on the Discord and violating server rules.
Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Money emoji and Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Money emoji/Bureaucrat chat: I became an administrator in February 2020 after the longest successful RfA in Wikipedia history at 275 hours. I went on to write a widely read debrief on my experience in June 2021. I've gone on to nominate the largest RfA with no opposes in Wikipedia history at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/DanCherek, and then co-nominate another RfA that gained over 200 supports at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Whpq. I plan to do more in the future. Things changed for me in a big way– don't let past issues limit what you do in the future!
- I prefer AN to ANI, as there is less "noise" there.
- I closed the Geo Swan site ban discussion at AN in 2022
- I closed the DarknessShines unblock request at AN in 2022 as "no consensus".
- I started this discussion at AN in January 2022, leading to the below case request.
- I started this discussion at AN in August 2021, which led to Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive336#We_cannot_sweep_copyright_issues_under_the_rug_any_longer, which I think is my most important writing on the matter of copyright violations.
- I closed the widely attended SashiRolls unban discussion re-open discussion in July 2020 as no consensus, which was endorsed on self-requested review.
- I filed the declined in lieu of motion Timwi case request at the beginning of this year. I wrote a further explanation of filing the case at User:Moneytrees/why, which contains a lot of key values I have about “Doing The RIght Thing”. I think the end result was good, and I am glad that Timwi is still an administrator.
Miscellaneous:
- In March 2020 I became involved in a cross-wiki dispute after blocking a Commons administrator's sock for block evasion, resulting in them harassing me at Commons. I subsequently presented evidence of sustained harassment and abuse against several other editors, resulting in that administrator being desysoped. The ordeal was the first major conflict I was involved in and taught me about dealing with harassment and the ways in which it is enabled. I was more cocky then than if I would be if I pursued this case now, but I don't regret pursuing it. It was The Right Thing To Do.
- Best example of my analysis and opposition to disruptive editing
- My guide at ACE2021, where I was critical of unblocks made by that year’s committee. I think they’ve improved on that front this year.
