{{User|Raven4x4x}} – I mainly know [[User:Raven4x4x|Raven]] from his stirling work in closing nominations on [[WP:FPC|Featured Picture Candidates]] over the past few months &mdash; including a couple that required non-trivial judgement calls when determining concensus.

#'''Oppose''' No meaningful particitionparticipation in AfD, TfD, etc. whatsoever. In the area where he has the most pure edits, AfD, contributions consist entirely of reverting one blanking and one nomination that he quickly withdrew, for example. Very few deleted edits suggests little CSD familiarity (beyond perhaps G1 nonsense, per answer to question 1). Overall, I don't think there's evidence of how this candidate feels about and how much they know about deletion (a key admin role), which could lead to problems. Sorry... --[[User:W.marsh|W.marsh]] 16:14, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

'''Neutral'''

Line 86 ⟶ 107:

:1. '' Hypothetical, yet oddly realistic admin situation:'' Browsing Wikipedia one day, you find the greatest photo ever to grace an article; a photo that speaks 500 million words. The one-of-a-kind image was just uploaded by the photographer, who licenced it as 'non-commercial use only'. The author's edit summary states: "This image is for the great people of the world, never to be taken by the evil corporations." Meanwhile, a renowned corporate POV warrior leaves a message on your talk page requesting you '''immediately''' delete the image, citing [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-May/023760.html this]. What do you do?

::A.I would contact the photographer, explaining that such a license is not acceptable for Wikipedia and ask them to reconsider their license. If they refuse then I'm afraid it will have to be deleted. If the copyright warrior insists it be deleted while I'm still discussing it with the photographer, I could always save the image and description on my computer before deleting it, knowing that if the photographer reconsiders it can always be uploaded again.
