Eleassar (talk · contribs) - I have been Wikipedian since January 2005; first editing as Eleassar777 (talk · contribs). 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 [1]) but come here frequently too (altogether more than 7000 edits [2], [3]). 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. --Eleassar my talk 08:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: As stated above, I would like to help with possibly unfree images, improve the interface in Slovenian, and help with template editing (adding interwikis, fulfilling other editprotected requests and general technical help).
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: I have made many small and larger improvements to the articles about medicine, biology, Slovenia, astronomy, and other topics (of the more extensive e.g. Antibody, Gastric acid, History of neurology). Unfortunately, I did not realize at that time how important it was to add references. As this has been stressed so much recently (in the Signpost and elsewhere) I am now much more conscientous here and am planning to add them to the articles cited above too.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A: In general, I try to stay as calm and polite as possible and find arguments and reliable sources to support my opinion. By finding the relevant sources I have been (with a lot of help from Dystopos; I did not understand the process of mediation at that time) able to sort out the trouble two editors caused the community by constantly edit warring over whether it is better to use Slovenian or Slovene. This question first arose in February 2004 but was finally solved only in August 2005. Edit wars at my watchlist really annoy me.
4. Could you give an example of when an {{editprotected}} request should be declined? Could you give an example of when a request should be left open for a while? --ais523 16:12, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
5. As you seem to be more active on the Slovenian Wikipedia, is there any reason you are not an admin there? Rigadoun (talk) 17:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Optional question by 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.

  1. Definite support! I though Eleassar was already an admin! - Ta bu shi da yu
    You mean he isn't?!?!? Stwalkerster talk 10:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support - wel the contributions look ok and the user is also very experienced :)..--Cometstyles 12:16, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support Looks good, contributions all over the place, civil, and trust is evidenced by adminship on another project as well.Pedro |  Chat  12:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Support - sure, a little bit more activity might be desired, but overall you seem to have been here a long time and seem to be experienced. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk -- (dated 12:51, 18 June 2007 UTC)
  5. Support as a fellow relative-outsider. A decent human being and a great help on templates, it would seem. -- Thesocialistesq/M.Lesocialiste 14:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  6. ZA; Good user, no problems and clearly trustworthy. - Zeibura(talk) 15:29, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Good user, who wants adminship for the 'right' reasons. Multilingual admins who can coordinate work across multiple projects are always an asset. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 16:02, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Support He looks good. He knows what he is doing. I would like to see a healthier edit count, more than 3500+, but other than that, he should be an admin! Politics rule 17:49, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    That makes no sense. Eleassar has made over 38,000 edits, with 7000 in English, which beats even your ludicrously inflated minimum of 3500 hands down. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 21:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    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. Captain panda 23:08, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    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. Keegantalk 23:29, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Support, looks good. Tim{speak} 17:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  10. Support - He looks good to me. By the way Rspeer, there is no need to jump on Politics rule. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (ταlκ)
  11. Support, candidate certainly would make a great administrator. -- Phoenix2 (holla) 22:37, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
