*'''Support''' Regardless of the controversy that he has recieved around being “involved” in a dispute between several editors and I, I have found him to be quite reasonable in his decisions and has never been biased.

*'''Oppose''' You request topic ban from [[WP:ARBIPA]] on a dozen of editors without adding diffs for your claims[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=841205425&diff=prev] and further state that you "would just ban everybody".[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:GoldenRing&diff=842944422&oldid=842657925] But when the most disruptive user has been caught socking for a long time, you give him only 3 months block and then endlessly argue to falsify every inch of evidence provided against the now sitebanned user.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=854747527][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=856340510] Not to omit your filing of a frivolous [[WP:AE|AE]] report citing "ARBIPA topic"[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&diff=prev&oldid=855887613] ban against a user after rejecting a legible SPI as "violation" of a topic ban after completely misreading the SPI yourself (for e.g. missing the self admission of one suspected account to be related to master[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/MegaCyanide666&diff=next&oldid=855888427]). The user told you at least 2 times that it is not a topic ban violation and you refused to believe this simple fact and reacted in a combative manner.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/MegaCyanide666&diff=next&oldid=855889096][[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&diff=next&oldid=855891224] You realised that it was not a topic ban violation only after an admin told you that it is was not.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&diff=prev&oldid=855898235][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&diff=prev&oldid=855896614]{{pb}}It is unbelievable that it was only 1 week ago that you learned that Pakistani articles also falls under [[WP:ARBIPA]],[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=859555045] and surprisingly you were telling an arbitrator that what comes <nowiki>"under [[WP:ARBIPA]]"</nowiki>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=842941813&diff=prevhttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=842941813&diff=prev] This means that you have been talking about ARBIPA for over 5 months and you don't even know the easiest definition of [[WP:ARBIPA]]. You don't think sock puppetry is "disruptive" or think it needs extra evidence of disruption to block an account than just socking (or socking with proxies) per your statements on this page. Your block of Adding The Truth as a sock of My Lord[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Adding_The_Truth&action=history] was disputed by nearly everyone who took time to review the unblock request on his talk page, including the reviewing admin.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Adding_The_Truth&diff=853494103&oldid=852973828] Adding The Truth could've been a sock of someone but not My Lord and thus your your block was incorrect that was based on "inconclusive" checkuser and very circumstantial behavioral evidence.

Line 101:
*'''Support''' Ivanvector with the CU tool would transform the entire SPI process. Experienced, civil and hard-working. He has helped with his experience in fighting socking in difficult areas such as the Balkans and the Middle East. [[User:Ktrimi991|Ktrimi991]] ([[User talk:Ktrimi991|talk]]) 23:35, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
*'''Support''' experienced admin who looks at the bigger picture. [[User:Son of Kolachi|Son of Kolachi]] ([[User talk:Son of Kolachi|talk]]) 05:52, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
*'''Oppose'''. It surprises me to see this application from Ivanvector here because of the kind of stunts he's been pulling of late. His conduct in recent months has been totally appalling. As per my reading of the oppose comments above and my personal observation: he has a) frequently feuded with a number of editors, b) acquitted (or attempted to acquit) long term abusers such as NadirAli and Nauriya by engaging in falsification of facts, and proxy abusing socks like StLouis2, c) protected pages and acted as an SPI admin clerk where he's [[WP:INVOLVED]], d) frequently engaged in [[WP:NPA]] by casting aspersions on fellow editors (for example, as mentioned by User:Desmay, calling User:DBigXray an "'''obvious meatpuppet'''" without even a shred of evidence[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=859382771]). All of this has happened before this appointment process began. These are significant misconduct issues, and make me believe that this candidate cannot be trusted with a permission like CheckUser at all. Finally, their own comments here gives the impression that they are far from having a fair understanding about policies such as clean start and wheel warring. [[User:Bharatiya29|<
*'''Support''' as entirely trustworthy. The opposing comments look to me like grudges that happen when an admin has been around long enough. --[[User:Tryptofish|Tryptofish]] ([[User talk:Tryptofish|talk]]) 19:02, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
*'''Support''': IvanVector has the necessary expertise and, as Son of Kolachi points out, the "bigger picture" view that is critical to the CU role. I think they would make an excellent CU. [[User:Waggie|Waggie]] ([[User talk:Waggie|talk]]) 03:21, 26 September 2018 (UTC)*'''Support''' [[User:RHcosm|<span style="color:#008000; font-weight:bold;">RH</span><span style="color:#06C; font-weight:bold;">cosm</span>]] [[User talk:RHcosm|<span style="color:#0011FF; font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 09:40, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

*'''Neutral''' On one hand the comment on Meta was probably block-worthy for being a personal attack, but then that is the only comment I've seen after some digging. I am not convinced by the AN incident to oppose - it has too much recentism and politics involved in it to be convincing to me. On the other hand, all I see of ''relevant'' experience/rationale is OPP/unblock requests, and that is only somewhat relevant. So, neutral. --'''[[User:Rschen7754|Rs]][[User talk:Rschen7754|chen]][[Special:Contributions/Rschen7754|7754]]''' 05:56, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

*'''Oppose''' I was unimpressed by their conduct in the IHTS thread and it gives me concern about how they would handle future disputes. [[User:Pawnkingthree|Pawnkingthree]] ([[User talk:Pawnkingthree|talk]]) 14:24, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
Line 147 ⟶ 149:
*'''Support''': In their many years of service to Wikipedia, SQL has demonstrated excellent technical expertise, good judgement, and a willingness to handle difficult and complex situations, which CUs are often asked to do. I'm aware of the recent situation with IHTS, and remind folks that everyone is human, even administrators, CUs, and Arbs and I think Swarm addressed it quite well above. [[User:Waggie|Waggie]] ([[User talk:Waggie|talk]]) 03:04, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
*'''Support'''. The only issue brought up here is the IHTS TP access one where the nominee perhaps misjudged the heat of arguments and acted too early, thus turning half of those debating against him/her (and this now reflects here). Other than that single issue, considering over a decade of administering, I see no compelling reasons not to trust them with extra tools. — [[User:Kashmiri|<span style="color:#30C;font:italic bold 1em Candara;text-shadow:#AAF 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em;">kashmīrī</span>]] [[User talk:Kashmiri|<sup style="font-family:Candara; color:#80F;">TALK</sup>]] 09:35, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

*'''Support''': Having worked with Oshwah in many areas of the project, it is clear to me that they are strongly motivated to protect Wikipedia and has the clear technical competence to do it extremely well as a CU. They collaborate extremely well with others, even when in disagreement, and clearly have the demeanor and respect for the community to be deserving of the responsibility. When I was working with Oshwah to get started at ACC, Oshwah taught me how critical it is to respect the responsibility being handed to ACCers with the sensitive information handled there.
