Hello everyone. I've been editing actively here for around two and a half months and have increasingly found that I'd have a good use for the tools. I was recently told I passed 1000 edits (true!), of which the majority have been to the mainspace. I've written one VGA; Powderfinger, with another (Red Hot Chili Peppers) currently up for PVGA. I've also contributed to a lot of other articles about music, generally cleaning stuff up and creating stubs to compliment the articles I've worked on directly.

As well as this, I check new changes regularly, and have done a fair bit of vandal reverting. Despite this, vandal fighting is not my strength, so I don't have a great number of VIP requests, though I think my reverting and occasional reports there will demonstrate that I have an idea of what I'm doing. I don't see myself doing a lot of blocking, but I do see myself doing a fair bit of deletion. I'm active in QD tagging, and as I write this, Category:Quick deletion requests contains nine items (it had seven when I started writing; two more have since been added!), so I imagine having another admin from a different time zone (I don't think there are any active Australian admins?) would help. I've also kept an eye on requests for deletion and could help out there. Furthermore, I keep an eye on the admin noticeboard and see myself helping out with general stuff there on request. Especially, I could help out with image stuff as I'm an admin (and 'crat) on Commons, the image host for this wiki. I've been doing admin stuff there since November 2007, which will hopefully resolve any concerns about experience.

So in conclusion; I'm been around here for a while, I have a pretty good idea of how things work here, I've improved articles, reverted vandals, tagged stuff for deletion, and commented in discussions. I'm also a Commons admin, and I could help out likewise here. Thanks for reading and considering. Cheers, Giggy (talk) 01:50, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to withdraw this request. The commentary, in general, is appreciated. Giggy (talk) 08:39, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support

  1. Support I don't have a problem with supporting Giggy, I understand Majorly's points, but I don't regard them as enough to sway my vote. Kennedy (talk) 07:50, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support Giggy can speak to the fact that I've been critical of him in the past, but he's shown that my past criticisms of him are no longer valid. ⇒SWATJester Son of the Defender 13:28, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support Static -=Electrify My Thoughts=- 13:29, Tuesday September 9 2008 (UTC)
  4. support Net positive to the project, won't misuse the tools. Oh, support is on the proviso you are not PoetLister ;-) MindTheGap (talk) 16:50, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not, I promise. :-) Giggy (talk) 22:57, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Support - I trust Giggy, and (s)he's an admin on Commons and Wikisource, and is trusted there also. I haven't needed the blocking tool much, only a few times. And I also didn't have many VIP reports during my RfA, so we're somewhat similar. You have several QD tags, and, though I hate it when I see "there are never any admins on when I'm on," I doubt we have any administrators from Australia. So that would be good, and also if we want Commons help, to have one. I have other reasons, but I'll end here. I support Giggy. -- American Eagle (talk) 23:15, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Oppose

  1. You've literally just passed RfA on Wikisource - I get the distinct feeling you're hopping from project to project trying to get as many badges as you can get - when's your next Meta/enwiki one? Slow down. I count 15 QD tags which isn't an awful lot. Good work with articles, but I think that's what you're better at. Commons and Wikisource are very different projects to Wikipedia, and it's trivial to get adminship on Commons (I don't know about Wikisource). I really think you should wait for someone else to nominate you. You come across as way too desperate. And then there's the whole dispute between you and I, which involved us making up, me thinking we're friends, and then you going off behind my back and making an RfC on me. I find you quite sly and dishonest, which are unpleasant things to call someone, but I don't know how to put it nicer. I have tried my best to get on with you, and I've had it thrown back in my face. To be honest, I supported you on Wikisource, with the hope you'd stay more active over there, but I really wouldn't be happy with you as an admin here. This is the one wiki where I've managed to avoid "drama", because most people here are happy, positive and care deeply for each other. It's the one wiki I edit where there's an actual community. I feel you as an admin would break the positive atmosphere because of the negative tension you have brought between us. Majorly talk 03:01, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Weak oppose per above. Please read through what Majorly said (it is long, but useful) and try to do better. Chenzw  Talk  08:10, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose per Majorly Beefball Talk 16:02, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Oppose I cannot jump to conclusions, neither can I give you full fledged opposition on this matter. Maybe if we resolve this conflict, then...-- Tdxiang 01:55, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose per Majorly..you have done it *again* ,..why??.. the last time you had an RfA on enwiki and commons at the same time, though I supported your commons one, i will not support this one..a person hopping wikis and trying to gets sysops is probably not the right person to be an admin here, please respect the project, and don't use it as a means of getting adminship on enwiki....--Cometstyles 08:29, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

It says something about people when they nominate themselves on every project that they edit on, not even waiting for someone to nominate them (I know that somebody said they wanted to nominate you, but you presumptively self-nommed). — Jonas Rand · (talk) 03:21, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It does? What does it say?⇒SWATJester Son of the Defender 13:28, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It says that they value power more than content editing, as with all self-noms. — Jonas Rand · (talk) 18:09, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't say he values power more than content editing - Giggy has a superb record of content editing, both on here and English Wikipedia. Majorly talk 18:17, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
