'''Final'''
'''(
{{User|Eleassar}} - I have been Wikipedian since January 2005; first editing as {{user|Eleassar777}}. I stumbed upon this web site through Answers.com and liked the idea from the beginning. All the time, I have predominantly been editing articles about medicine and other science topics. I have also been writing, checking, updating and correcting articles about my country. Now I am mainly active in the Slovenian Wikipedia (more than 31800 edits [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username=Eleassar&site=sl.wikipedia.org]) but come here frequently too (altogether more than 7000 edits [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username=Eleassar777&site=en.wikipedia.org], [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username=Eleassar&site=en.wikipedia.org]). As I have recently started editing the English Wikipedia more extensively again I would like to ask for the status to improve the interface in Slovenian language and to be able to add interwikis to protected templates without having to use the editprotected tag all the time. I would also like very much to help with possibly unfree and other problematic images (I am quite actively uploading images to Commons and have the status of administrator there) and with templates as I have some experience in programming them. --[[User:Eleassar|'''Eleassar''']] <sup>[[User talk:Eleassar|my talk]]</sup> 08:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

:'''4.''' Could you give an example of when an {{tl|editprotected}} request should be declined? Could you give an example of when a request should be left open for a while? --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 16:12, 18 June 2007 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])
::'''A:''' I would decline it if there were opposing views on what should be done (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Selected_anniversaries/May_22&oldid=132665453]). The request should be left open for a while when the change is potentially useful, but is not entirely clear to me and affects a lot of pages (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:Details&diff=prev&oldid=131540878#Edit_request]). Some cases (e.g. adding interwikis) are simple and unproblematic. Elsewhere consensus should be formed first and in any case I must understand what the change means actually.
:'''5.''' As you seem to be more active on the Slovenian Wikipedia, is there any reason you are not an admin there? [[User:Rigadoun|Rigadoun ]] [[User_talk:Rigadoun|(talk)]] 17:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
::'''A:''' Actually, I was an admin there from June 2005 till June 2006. I decided to give it up as I did not have enough time to use it much and was discontent with the way things were done there: promoting users to admin and bureaucrat status without asking the community at all, constant reverting of good faith edits with the revert button, protecting pages by admins even if they themselves were involved in edit warring, constant quarrels and insults. We tried hardly to resolve the problems, but to no avail. The atmosphere was so awful.. Many users (including me) left the project at least temporarily at that time. Fortunately, the situation has improved tremendously in the last year so I'm thinking of reapplying in the near future.
'''Optional question by [[user:AldeBaer|AldeBaer]]'''
:'''6.''' Since we all started out as readers of this encyclopedia, I'd like to know what your three (or more) favourite reads on Wikipedia are (may be articles, or even policy pages, whatever you like), ideally with a short explanation as to what especially you like about them.
::'''A:''' There are plenty of good and even brilliant articles that I like to read from time to time, but if I have to choose the three that capture my imagination the most, I would choose the [[Shroud of Turin]], [[Contact (novel)]] and [[The Matrix]]. They present a search for objectively verifiable evidence of the kind that a skeptical scientist would want to find to answer the deepest questions of our existence and our connection with ourselves and the world we live in. I would also like to say thank you to all contributors of the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost|Signpost]]. The stories are really enlightening and help me keep in touch with the community and the development of the project.

#::On the talk page it says that Eleassar has made 3500 edits, so that is where Politics rule makes his statement from. I am confused about the 7000 edits claim, however.

#:::Check the links there in the nomination. Eleassar did not undergo a username change from Eleassar777 to Eleassar so the contributions are still independant. Around 5k edits for Eleassar777, then another 3.5k from Eleassar. There's the source of number confusion.
