====Nomination====
{{User|Modussiccandi}}&nbsp;– It's my pleasure to present to you Modussiccandi as a candidate for adminship. The common theme among the wide range of work Modussiccandi is a commitment to helping facilitate content. He has 2 [[WP:FA|featured articles]], 10 [[WP:GA|good articles]], and over 30 [[WP:DYK|did you know hooks]]. You can also find this same level of attention in his work in other areas, most prominently at New Page Patrol and Articles for Creation. In all places you'll see his skill in applying appropriate policies and guidelines while also doing his best to find and support good content. I think you will find him a thoughtful and knowledgeable editor and hope you will join me in supporting his RfA. [[User:Barkeep49|Barkeep49]] ([[User_talk:Barkeep49|talk]]) 22:02, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

;Co-nomination

It was just recently when I saw the great work of Modussiccandi, but they've made a strong impression. Apart from his large amount of high quality work outlined by Barkeep I've been especially impressed with how they deal with difficult situations. In his many thoughtful comments I've seen lots of positive qualities I find valuable for admins. He takes the opportunity to learn and improve where he can, reevaluate his position when questioned and reflect on situations where they could have acted better. Because of this, I'm convinced they will make an excellent admin and it's my pleasure to co-nominate them. --[[User:Trialpears|Trialpears]] ([[User talk:Trialpears|talk]]) 22:09, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

:''Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:'' Thank you very much, {{u|Barkeep49}} and {{u|Trialpears}}. I accept your nomination. I have never edited for pay and I have never edited Wikipedia with an account other than this. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 09:03, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

====Questions for the candidate====
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:
:'''1.''' Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?
::'''A:''' We have a shortage of new sysops and I believe that editors who have some of the right attributes and an appropriate level of experience should consider serving the community in this role. I want to help remedy the current situation by contributing to the areas that I’m already working in. For the time being, I would like to help out where I can, definitely in deletion, perhaps [[WP:DYK|DYK]] in the future. I can see myself moving into other admin areas that interest me, but I would do so cautiously, one step at a time. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 09:03, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

:'''2.''' What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
::'''A:''' What made me stick around and become a long-term editor was the prospect of adding high-quality content about my own discipline. So naturally I’d say the contributions I’m proudest of are my articles on [[classics|classical literature]]. I’d probably point you to the biographies of classical scholars which I’ve brought to a high standard (particularly my two FAs on [[R. A. B. Mynors]] and [[L. D. Reynolds]]). I had a long-standing plan to expand [[Eduard Fraenkel]], one of the most impactful, but also controversial Latinists of the 20th century. The article was recently made a GA and I plan to bring it to FA soon. My work there was particularly rewarding since Frankel’s life and work are more complex than those of any scholar I had tackled before. When I started editing, there was hardly any detailed article on people in this field – it’s a great feeling to have improved the project in an area that used to be a bit neglected. Outside of Classics, I’m fondest of my small collection of articles on topics in German history. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 09:03, 25 January 2022 (UTC) 

:'''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:''' Fortunately, I have been able to avoid sustained conflicts since most articles that I have strong feelings about lie in a niche that very few editors beside me work in. Of course, I have had disagreements with other editors in the context of [[WP:NPP|NPP]], [[WP:AfC]], and [[WP:AfD]]. I’ve been able to keep a cool head in these situations and have managed to keep things in perspective, which I think is important to avoid Wikipedia-related issues stressing you off-wiki. Besides, I typically have a decent feel for when it’s time to disengage and/or involve a third party.

;Optional question from [[User:Serial Number 54129|Serial Number 54129]]
:'''4.''' Hi Modussiccandi, and thanks for standing! Just a quickie from me; could you briefly explain how you see an appointment to adminship as changing your future editing patterns—if at all of course—e.g., by workspace?
::'''A:''' Thank you for your question, Serial Number. I don't suspect that my overall editing patterns would change much if I were to become a sysop. The only thing that I can say for sure at this point is that I would keep a similar division between maintenance tasks and content. Like many Wikipedians, I tend to add new articles to my list of content projects all the time and so I don't foresee my maintenance work taking over completely only because of the additional tools. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 13:20, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

:'''5.''' With an (albeit brief) passage of time, would you like to expand on your !vote to keep a poorly-sourced BLP [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/José Miguel Sagüillo|last December]]?
::'''A:''' Thank you for this very valid question. My approach to AfDs is normally to do a [[WP:BEFORE|BEFORE]] search to see if the existing sources may count towards [[WP:GNG|GNG]] or if they at least verify an aspect of one or more [[WP:SNG|SNG]]. In the case of José Miguel Sagüillo, I was able to verify that he held the position of ''[[Catedratico]]'', the highest academic rank in a Spanish university. I took this to mean that the subject met Criterion No. 5 of [[WP:NPROF]], which calls for the subject to hold a named-chair or equivalent in countries where those are uncommon (Spain being one of them). Now, the AfD later reached the consensus that the ''Catedratico'' position is in this case not equivalent to a named-chair, a decision with which I can live well because it shows that reasonable editors may still disagree over the interpretation of our notability guidelines. Your question mentions the fact that the page was a poorly sourced BLP; this is correct, but my !vote at the AfD was, in the first place, a statement on the subject's notability, not the current sourcing of the article. It is absolutely clear that we don't want to have poorly sourced content in our BLPs, which is why I would have recommended reducing the article to a stub containing only the verifiable bits. I hope this answer sheds some light on why I !voted the way I did. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 13:36, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

;Optional questions from [[User:اِفلاق|اِفلاق]]
:'''6.''' Under what circumstances should an admin indefinitely block an IP address?
::'''A:''' Thank you for your question. It is generally not advisable to block a newly-offending IP for a very long time. This is because different people may use one a IP address or the IP may be reassigned, which means that an indefinite block will often overshoot the target. So I would only block indefinitely if an IP proves to be a consistent offender over an extended period and after being blocked for shorter amounts of time. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 13:58, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
:::I should add that the deciding factor in whether an IP should be blocked for anything other than a short time is that there needs to be proof that the IP has been used by one user over an extended period of time. Otherwise there would be no evidence that a long-term block would still serve the intended preventative purpose. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 15:33, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
:'''7.'''  What is your opinion on [[WP:AOR]]? Will you be a part of it ?
::'''A:''' Personally, I would not want to stick around as a sysop if the community feels that I've ceased to be a net positive. This means that I would join [[Wikipedia:Administrators open to recall|AOR]] and detail my criteria for recall in my userspace. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 14:06, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
;Optional question from [[User:Panini!|Panini!]]
:'''8.''' ''(This is an opinion question based on a specific field; please ignore if you express no interest)'': I've already supported, but this would be good information to refer to in the future. I often see users who have been blocked who request an unblock appeal, only to receive a snarky decline or a [[magic 8-ball]] "ask again later" message. While it's certain that admins have their reasons that run well into the background, what are your personal opinions on giving second chances? 
::'''A:''' Thank you for the question, Panini. I will accept your offer to stay silent on this question because I have no immediate interest in working in this area. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 15:49, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

;Optional question from [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee V]]
:'''9.''' A new user removed sourced content from [[L. D. Reynolds]]. What would be your response? At what time would you use administrative tools on the article or the user? Best Wishes, '''[[User:Lee Vilenski|<span style="color:green">Lee Vilenski</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:Lee Vilenski|talk]] • [[Special:Contribs/Lee Vilenski|contribs]])</sup>''' 14:18, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
::'''A:'''Thanks for the question, Lee. In the first instance, I would revert their edits and initiate a discussion on the talk page. This is how I handled such issues when my FAs were TFA. In general, I would be very reluctant to even consider the use of administrative tools on this user because I would have a good reason to see myself as [[WP:INVOLVED|an involved admin]]. The one occasion where I would turn to use of the tools is if said user were to escalate their behaviour to the level of obvious vandalism. The same goes for any article I'm involved with. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 15:55, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

;Optional question from [[User:Andrew Davidson|Andrew D.]]
:'''10.''' Your account name seems to literally mean "dry mode" and is perhaps a pun on ''[[modus significandi]]'', right?  Please elaborate. [[user:Andrew Davidson|Andrew]]🐉([[user talk:Andrew Davidson|talk]]) 16:32, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
::'''A:''' My name was inspired by a passage of [[Columella]]'s ''De re rustica'', a Roman treatise on agriculture from the 1st century AD. In Book 2.18, Columella say that a middle course that is neither too wet nor to dry should be followed when curing grass. He calls this 'middle way' of drying ''modus in siccando''. When I read this passage, I was for some reason struck by the phrase and I created the username as a pun on phrases such as [[modus operandi]] or [[modus vivendi]]. I must admit that I didn't know the phrase ''modus significandi''. Still, you got quite close to decoding the whole thing. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 17:46, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 
;Optional question from [[User:Asartea|Asartea]]
:'''11.''' At the risk of restating Q1 and in relation to my comment below: Which areas do you see yourself using the toolset in?
::'''A:''' Thank you for asking, Asartea. Should I become a sysop, I would begin using the toolset in the areas adjacent to those I'm already working in. In the context of NPP, this could mean that I begin by evaluating the most common CSD taggings (I think here of G11, G12, A7). I have successfully tagged for these criteria a good number of times (G11 in particular) and so feel that my potential admin work would build on what I do now. I would also like to explore closing at AfD, where I think I have a good understanding of what goes into consensus building from my experience as a !voter. As I said in Q.1, I might move into further admin areas in the future, but I plan to take things slow at first if I do become a sysop.

;Optional question from [[User:HouseBlaster|HouseBlaster]]
:'''12.''' Why do you edit Wikipedia?
::'''A:''' I edit Wikipedia because I think it's a beautiful way to share topics that I'm passionate about. I love the idea that everyone with an internet connection can now enjoy free, well-sourced articles on subjects that I only learnt about at university. I enjoy the collegiality and collaboration. And finally, I edit Wikipedia because I used to be an avid reader of the site (still am) before I started editing. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 18:28, 25 January 2022 (UTC) 

;Optional question from [[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]
:'''13.''' You already have my support. It has become somewhat customary for admin candidates to expressly state that they have never edited for pay, & I note you affirm this also when accepting this nomination. My question is, seeing the negative impact of UPE, do you see yourself getting involved in tackling UPE in any capacity? 
::'''A:''' Thank you for raising this topic, Celestina. I have definitely noticed in my work at NPP and AfC that UPE and issues surrounding it make a noticeable negative impact on our project. I must admit I haven't given active involvement in anti-UPE measures like SPI much thought so far; but given that I agree with your assessment of the situation, I might well lend a helping hand in this area once I've familiarised myself with the use of the tools. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 20:59, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

;Optional questions from [[User:Kavyansh.Singh|Kavyansh]]
:'''14.''' What is your understanding/opinion of the essay—[[Wikipedia:No amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability|No amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability]]?
::'''A:''' I think the essay touches on the same point that I have tried to make in my answer to Question 5: notability and content are two separate issues. In deletion discussions, we mainly argue about notability. Even if you polish an article on a non-notable subject up to GA level, it will probably be deleted if notability cannot be demonstrated. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 20:51, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
:'''15.''' You have expressed particular interest in helping with deletion process if you receive the mop. Suppose, in a deletion discussion, there are seven 'keep' !votes, all arguing that the subject is notable without providing any sources. The only one to !vote for deleting the article is, well, the nominator, saying that the subject fails [[WP:GNG]]. It has already been relisted many times. What would be your rationale when you close that discussion?
::'''A:''' In this hypothetical situation, it would be important to remember that AfDs are not decided by majority, but by whether a policy–based argument can find a rough consensus among !voters. If, as you say, the seven editors who want to keep the article have not provided any reliable sourcing and have failed to adduce the relevant notability guidelines, I would not close the discussion as a 'keep' because no ''policy-based'' consensus has been reached. At the same time, I would not close as 'delete' either. One !vote, even if it's well argued, does not represent a rough consensus. I think I would close this discussion as 'no consensus' without prejudice against a re-nomination. I realise that this close would probably lead to some complaints from the 'keep' !voters, but a positive 'keep' close would not be justified if they offer no more than 'the subject is notable'. Let me add that I would not have the guts to attempt such a close any time soon. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 20:44, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 
;Optional question from [[User:Lomrjyo|Lomrjyo]]
:'''16.''' What are your plans after adminship?
::'''A:''' I don't have any specific plans in case this RfA turns out to be successful. Should I become a sysop, I would continue to pursue my current content creation projects. For the near future, this includes tweaking [[Eduard Fraenkel]] for FAC and (if I have the time) getting started on a new version of [[Investiture Controversy]]. Apart from that, I would carefully begin using the tools in the way outlined in my responses above. I hope this answers your question, Lomrjyo. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 09:12, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

;Optional question from [[User:Sea Cow|Sea Cow]]
:'''17.''' What is one field of sysop Wikipedia you plan to '''never''' be involved in, if you are successful in your RFA? And why?
::'''A:''' I can't say for sure at this point that I will ''never'' get involved in any one area of sysop activity. However, I can say that it's very unlikely that I'll be involved with [[WP:ITN]]. In contrast with DYK, I have never submitted a candidate for that section and consequently have no experience of the process there. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 09:20, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

;Optional question from [[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]]
:'''18.''' In the context of NPP, do you intend to work at PERM, and if you do, what depth of due diligence will you apply  before according user rights, especially NPR and Autopatroled?
::'''A:''' It's interesting that you should ask this question, Kudpung; I actually am somewhat interested in [[WP:PERM|PERM]]. I used not to have an opinion about it, but that changed after [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Archive 48#Reviews by newish editor|this discussion]]. In the case of this editor, we had given someone a tool for which, it later turned out, they were not qualified. Fortunately, they made only a small number of problematic AfC decisions before they lost the permission; it's still easy to see that they could have caused quite the headache in the long run. With this incident in mind, I would opt for a fairly thorough vet before granting an editor autopatrolled or NPP rights. Of course, we still need to take their self assessments, usually written in good faith, into account, but a good depth of due diligence is absolutely necessary. [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 09:34, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

;Optional question from [[User:Jason Quinn|Jason Quinn]]
:'''19.''' Suppose an editor loves to take macro photos of insects and has added many high-quality images of insect species (say 100) to our large number of such articles without even a single image. The editor has no expert background in entomology and identifies the insect species on their own using the web (as the experts often do too). They are a hobbyist entomologist. You have no reason to doubt the user strives for truth but it is true that it is sometimes hard to identify with certainty a specific species of insect within a genre from a photograph. This can be due to similarity of other species in the genre or due to the variation of individuals. Is this editor violating our OR policy by including their insect photos on the species articles and what, if anything, should be done about it?
::'''A:''' Thank you for the question, Jason Quinn. Our policy on [[WP:OR|original research]] states that image captions are subject to the same standard as the body of the article. If this user has made a less-than-straightforward identification of a species on one of their photos and then proceeds to add this photo to an article, I'd say that that they are violating our OR policy. What I would do about this is to talk to the editor and ask that they limit their illustrations to species where a non-OR identification is possible. (Please accept my apologies if this last point makes no sense — I have no clue about entomology). I see that it's not ideal to discourage this hypothetical editor because their work could help close a big gap in our project. But still, OR is one of our content policies and the need for illustration has to be balanced with it.

;Optional question from [[User:AlexEng|AlexEng]]
:'''20.''' Would you please comment on your understanding of [[WP:REVDEL|REVDEL]] and how you anticipate using this tool? Please describe a specific example of material you would deem appropriate to remove under each of criteria 2 and 3 of [[WP:CFRD|CFRD]].
::'''A:''' Thank you for asking, AlexEng. The vast majority of my experience with [[WP:REVDEL|REVDEL]] has been in copyvio situations where an article had what I would call a partial copyright violation. In those cases there was no need to perform a G12, so I removed the content in question and requested revision deletion. This is the use of the REVDEL tool (CFRD 1) that I'd be most likely to make. To give you an example of a CFRD 2: an editor adds grossly offensive and clearly non-factual statements to the biography of a living person. And for CFRD 3: an editor has inserted into an article a large shock image that depicts something that clearly is not suitable for the consumption of minors.

;Optional question from [[User:RadioKAOS|RadioKAOS]]
:'''21.''' When the encyclopedia reached six million articles a little over two years ago, [[WP:6MIL]] was created, which very prominently featured the Jimbo quote about "the sum of all human knowledge".  In [https://techcrunch.com/2020/01/23/wikipedia-english-six-million-articles this piece], after dutifully regurgitating the WMF's press release about the milestone, it goes on to explain that the sum of all human knowledge has been quantified ("According to one estimate, the sum of human knowledge would require 104 million articles").  In other words, the typical admin attitude of the encyclopedia containing too many articles is viewed quite differently outside of that bubble, and according to this view, we've only accomplished approximately five percent of the overall goal after twenty years of existence.  Taking that into consideration, how can we continue to provide a platform for 1) those editors whose only concept of building an encyclopedia is to tear down what others have built;  2) those editors who spend inordinate amounts of time trying to define what's notable while demonstrating zero interest in reflecting what's notable;  and 3) many members of the top tier of [[WP:MAW]] who make a lot of edits just to make make a lot of edits because they appear to be in some sort of competition, in the process flooding watchlists with low-quality editing activity which doesn't necessarily move the project forward?

# '''Support'''. An excellent nomination. I mostly know Modussiccandi through their nominations for featured article status, where they handled having their first one picked over by reviewers and ultimately bounced (by me, as a FAC coordinator) with grace and a determination to bring it back better. Which they did, gaining their first well deserved and hard earned bronze star. I note that their second nomination ran through more smoothly, with minimal suggestions for improvement, which suggests an encouraging ability to take on board feedback. I only hope that reaching the exulted heights of adminhood will not prevent a third nomination in the near future.

A 90% matching consensus record on [https://afdstats.toolforge.org/afdstats.py?name=Modussiccandi&max=500&startdate=&enddate=&altname=&nomsonly=false AfD] is a good sign for an editor continuing work there.

#'''Support''' I have never commented on an RfA before, but I felt compelled do so here. I first encountered Modussiccandi when [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/R. A. B. Mynors/archive1|he nominated]] the classicist [[R. A. B. Mynors]] at FAC. After a lot of positive comments from others, I waded in and suggested some quite significant additions were needed to make it comprehensive. Modussiccandi would have been quite justified in being rather miffed at my late intervention, but he handled my comments with a patience, politeness and professionalism that is all too often lacking here. He withdrew that nomination, opened a peer-review process, discussed the issues with me and worked out a solution which incorporated my suggestions without unbalancing his otherwise excellent work. I was happy to support when he renominated the article later (and indeed that article was given its well-deserved star soon after). In my subsequent interactions, I have found him to be only courteous and kind. Matched with the exacting standards he has shown in both his AfC and content-editing, these traits will no doubt stand him in excellent stead to be a fair, patient and constructive administrator. Will I cannot comment about his suitability for the more technical tools that come with the mop, I felt compelled to add this support for those reasons. —[[User:Noswall59|Noswall59]] ([[User talk:Noswall59|talk]]) 14:41, 30 January 2022 (UTC).

# Wanted to support, but the pledge to be open to recall made me lose trust in the candidate. Reluctantly neutral. [[User:Hipocrite|Hipocrite]] ([[User talk:Hipocrite|talk]]) 09:16, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
#:@[[User:Hipocrite|Hipocrite]] Could you explain why being open to recall makes you lose trust in the candidate? I am personally open to recall even though I had an unanimous and recent RfA. This is because I want to try to be as acountable as possible to the community even though I know the recall process is far from optimal. In my opinion this is a positive attribute for a candidate and would for me be either neutral or mildly positive on my willingness to support. --[[User:Trialpears|Trialpears]] ([[User talk:Trialpears|talk]]) 09:25, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
#:: Pledges to be open to recall are made ad captandum vulgus. Further, the history of recall demonstrates that when a pledge to be open to recall is made in an RFA, and it is the difference between passing and failing, the candidate is unqualified. People should stop asking about recall, and candidates who are informed about what they are pledging would never promise to be open to recall. As such, a pledge to be open to recall is either dishonest or uninformed, both negatives. If not for the fact I came to support, I would oppose. [[User:Hipocrite|Hipocrite]] ([[User talk:Hipocrite|talk]]) 09:34, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
#:::To be honest, this viewpoint strikes me as rather cynical. While it's true that being open to recall is a very subjective pledge, and I ''have'' seen at least one administrator refuse to resign after their explicit recall conditions were met, I've also seen at least three who ''did'' follow through and resigned following a successful recall (one of whom subsequently regained adminship). In general, I like people who are willing to be held accountable for their actions, even if their idea of demonstrating said accountability is by signing up for an arbitrary and unenforceable process of their own volition. Those are the types of people who I want to see as administrators. If someone ''doesn't'' ultimately follow through, then that is a reflection on their own lack of integrity, not on the concept of recall itself. [[User:Kurtis|Kurtis]] [[User talk:Kurtis|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 12:55, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
#::::It's an extremely cynical viewpoint; people can truly care for the community & value their opinion rather than doing it ad captandum vulgus.

#::::Unless I am misunderstanding what AOR is, it bewilders me as to why someone would be against an admin candidate being ''for'' AOR. Whether the motivation for AOR is sincere or simply "ad captandum vulgus" is irrelevant. The candidate is willing to accept accountability. Would it be better he/she not want to be held accountable? This is a moot point, as this RfA is already well in the bag; I'm sincerely just curious. Maybe I really am missing something.

=====General comments=====
* {{u|Panini!}}, can you clarify that this is a general question about the candidate's opinion on second chances in general rather than a question about when and if an admin should unblock? This is a learning curve issue. No one goes into adminship understanding everything admins do. The candidate has never been blocked, has indicated no interest in working in unblocking, so probably has never even read the unblocking policy, because why would you go around reading policy you’ve never needed? So this question very likely requires the candidate to do significant research if it's about admins unblocking. (And frankly if it isn't about adminship and you've already !voted...) [[User:Valereee|valereee]] ([[User talk:Valereee|talk]]) 15:00, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

*:You asked where they'd use the toolset. You didn't ask what they ''needed'' it for, which seems to be your issue. I would have assumed they needed it to close AfDs, an area where non-admin closes often are looked at squinty-eyed. Not being experienced at non-admin closes at AfD doesn't mean admin privs aren't extremely useful for closing AfDs. I guess I'm confused...if they'd made AfD closes, you'd think they somehow had more need for the mop? That just seems kind of backwards to me. [[User:Valereee|valereee]] ([[User talk:Valereee|talk]]) 18:38, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
*::{{u|valereee}}, the candidate has answered Q1 to my satisfaction, but I do not see any backwards thinking in expecting the candidate to demonstrate having some experience closing discussions without the mop before trusting them with it. Maybe stricter than what others would expect, but not backwards. Kind regards, [[User:Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI|W.

*::I concur with Valereee that we have a [[catch 22]] here: we can't simultaneously [[WP:BADNAC|discourage]] non-admin closes of controversial AfDs and then also expect candidates who want to work in AfD to have experience in that area. A record of good closes in other areas outside of AfD would be a plus (I haven't looked through the candidate's contributions to see if they have done these; others are welcome to share links), but speaking personally, it's not something I'd require. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 22:18, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
*:::It seems to me the greater concern ought be the candidate's familiarity with, and aptitude for the application of, policy (GNG etc.) in the realm of AFD discussion, more so than willingness to, and aptitude for, camping out and jumping on the rare opportunity for a NAC, cases which demonstrate aptitude perhaps for judging when NAC is appropriate, but not so much the substantive policy at play in more complicated cases. But it is a digression for another time and place. For purposes of this RFA, I would plan to assess the quality and depth of the candidate's AFD discussion participation with an eye towards gauging the appropriateness of granting sysop tools for use in that area, and would encourage others to do likewise.

*::Snowball closes ''in favour'' are far less common—if I have ever seen it happen around here.

That issue obviously doesn't happen if the RFA is turning out positively. Many successful RFAs do have oppose !votes as well, some of which may even be valid—even if the RFA is ultimately going to pass, it's worth letting the opposers have their say, since it can still amount to constructive feedback for the candidate (unless the oppose was for silly reasons—I think we're familiar with ''those'').

*:::A couple of thoughts.  For the occasions like this where the result seems obvious there is still the possbility (albeit very unlikely in this case) for a skeleton to emerge so its probably better (and even fairer) to let the week run its course, and might even be better for the candidate long term.  The other point is the !vote count metric is not necessarily an indicator how "good" the candidate is ... if I was to rate this current candidate on a scale from 0 to 10 I might be giving a score of 8 ... maybe higher .... which relates to a solid !vote.  Its also the case a candidate who has contributed in certain areas or more marginal discussions it more liable to end up with ''oppose'' !votes, and they might (or might not) be a more useful admin as they are prepared to get involved in those areas.  But I'm reasonably certain any admin here who gets 100% is not going to be thinking they are perfect and of higher status than the one who gets through with say 75%. Thamkyou.

* I find the response to question 9 just a little bit concerning.  It implies that removal of sourced content should ''always'' be reverted without further investigation.  There are numerous reasons that sourced content should be removed: it is irrelevant to the article it is in, the source is unreliable or just downright wrong, it is an edit by a banned user in contravention of their ban, the source is reliable but has failed verification, it is reliable but [[WP:UNDUE]] detail, it is repeating something described earlier in the article etc etc etc.  I would expect the answer to include things like; look at what was said in the edit summary, see if there is a related talk page discussion, examine what the source actually said and whether it is reliable, consider asking the user why they removed it before reverting, take into account how knowledgeable Modussiccandi is on the subject matter etc.  Perhaps the candidate would have given a more nuanced answer if they stopped to think about it, but as it stands it looks like a tendency to give new users a hard time rather than endeavouring to retain them.

*:::I see where you're coming from but I think you're expressing concerns that Lee Vilenski's narrowly-posed question was not designed to address. For instance, I don't see any reason that a concise answer to his question would have addressed edits by banned users. In any case, maybe you could ask a broader question if you have remaining reservations or would like clarification (particularly since candidates are often reluctant to respond directly in this section).

*:::: The candidate has heard my concern and I'm sure they will take note of it in the future after they become an admin – which they undoudtedly and deservedly will.  I see no need to ask a contrived question to have the answer I require parroted back to me.
