Calebrw (talk · contribs)

I'm nominating Calebrw for adminship. We don't really have a serious need for administrators, but an extra one would never hurt. I've had several interactions with Calebrw, all of them positive. According to the edit counter, he has over 1100 edits and has been registered with Wikinews for close to a year now. He's made some excellent articles during his time here and is a good reviewer. I'm sure he will do well in the added capacity of a sysop. Tempodivalse [talk] 19:09, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Questions/comments

Do you accept the nomination? Tempodivalse [talk] 19:09, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I do. Thanks for confidence. Calebrw (talk) 19:19, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you successfully become an Admin, will you help out with admin tasks such as archiving articles older than seven days, proposed deletions and closing deletion discussions? Cirt (talk) 02:53, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes I will. As I told Tempodivalse (talk · contribs), I try to be as active on WN (and WP) as much as can. I don't always have internet access, but when I do WN is one of the first sites I go to. Being an admin means using the tools afforded responsibly, but it also mean taking your obligations seriously, for instance taking a look at WN:ALERT, as well as the links you mentioned above.

Will you add yourself to the admins open to recall? --Brian McNeil / ^talk 07:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I will, though I'm not exactly sure how to do it. I assume it is adding Category:Admins open to recall to your user page. Calebrw (talk) 19:23, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Twitter. Identica. Or Neither. --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 16:07, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't quite understand, and I have no idea what Identica is, though I now see it is similiar to Twitter. I do have a twitter account, but only use to follow a few select things. I'm not one to check it daily or post a whole bunch of status updates. Does this answer your question/comment Calebrw (talk) 03:09, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you wait with your {{editprotected}} requests until your adminship is confirmed (it looks like a landslide)? Tempo is trying to keep up, but if you can do it yourself it really cuts the work to less than half. --SVTCobra 00:52, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry about that. I am all done now. I responded to you on your talk page as well, but the short of it was I wanted to have all the articles that needed to be tied into ManUtd known, so that I didn't have to make a ton of really complicated requests now. Thanks to Tempo for helping out. Calebrw (talk) 01:05, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
