I don't nominate people unless I genuinely believe they would be a real asset to the team. Multiple times I came across User:1989 and I wondered why he wasn't been an admin here already. After I asked him to consider applying, he immediately replied enthusiastically. :) 1989 might not be active for too long (only three months), but he's been incredibly active. Within those three months he had more than 137,000 contribs, with activity in the complete every admin area and has a few buttons which help him with that (file mover, image reviewer etc). Though, with admin buttons he could do the things himself, like deleting copyvios (for which he now frequently requests help from admins). It would be in the benefit of Commons if 1989 would become an admin. Hopefully you agree with me. Trijnstel_talk 15:38, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Acceptance - Thank you for your kind words. I'll accept. 1989 15:49, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose For now. Not happy with some "no permission tag added on the files" I came across. So many edits within three month shows enthusiasm; but an admin needs to be very experianced than many of us, including me. :) Jee 16:12, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose. I don't like such renames. You don't know Chinese (according to userpage), are you? According to Commons:LP, every file "can be named in any language" (even in Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, Persian and other non-latin languages). --Brateevsky {talk} 16:15, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Surely, why not? Jianhui67 ^{talk★contribs} 16:37, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Will be a great assert to the project as an admin some day, but still need more experience so you don't mistake such as point out by Brateevsky. -- KTC (talk) 17:05, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose not now --Michael Kramer (talk) 17:47, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Uploads logos of companies (more examples) and describes them to be "own work" and self-CC-BY-SA instead of {{PD-textlogo}}. This one is even too complex for PD-textlogo (I'm going to RfD this one and check all other uploads by 1989, fortunately there are not so many by now). Uploads out of COM:SCOPE pictures, too; of course with poor categorization. All that makes me suppose pretty poor knowledge of COM:Licensing, COM:SCOPE, COM:Categories and other policies an admin must be familiar with. --A.Savin 19:33, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Comments

•  Comment Although doing useful edits, I reverted several inappropriate speedy deletion requests. I am not against you getting the admin tools, but you need to be more careful with speedy deletion requests. What do you think? Regards, Yann (talk) 16:03, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry if some of the speedys I made were inappropriate, sometimes when I look at an image that has something that is not in the public domain, I just leap into speedys, in which I have stopped doing. Now I mostly either put a no permissions tag or make a deletion request to see what the community has to say. 1989 16:08, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

The reason I renamed the file was because I did the translation of the previous file name, and the result I had was Xie Jin Yan. The person who requested the renaming was trying to claim that was the wrong person, and claimed that Jeannie Hsieh was the identify of the person on the file. 1989 16:25, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

• Problem is that in Chinese 謝金燕 is correct (see: zh:謝金燕). Still, I see this as a good faith mistake. Google translate does translate it differently than her transliterated name, and an effort was put in to check. Unless there are more examples it seems a pretty weak reason to oppose adminship.

  • If one can't be 100% sure, then it should had been left to someone who understood the language. We have en:Jeannie Hsieh, which could have told even someone who don't know Chinese that the name was correct. -- KTC (talk) 17:05, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
    • Thanks you all for your comments (1989, ColonialGrid and KTC)! This is aslo an additional experience for me...--Brateevsky {talk} 17:48, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

All of the photos I uploaded were converts of SVGs, and all that was back when I first signed up, so I don't see how my beginning is a valid argument. Plus, I don't see how my uploads are out of scope, you didn't provide examples, and the poor categorizing is from the Flickr2Commons, the tool automatically puts in random categories, so that's not entirely my fault. 1989 19:55, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Using Flickr2Commons does not prevent you from adding appropriate categories afterwards. --A.Savin 20:37, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
