{{User|Hersfold}} - Greetings! I would like to nominate Hersfold for adminship. I will keep this fairly short (although I tend to go on) - Hersfold is an excellent user who has shown his dedication to the project over a protracted period of time, making his first edit in December 2006. He has over 11,000 edits across the English Wikipedia, with almost 2,500 mainspace edits. A lot of his work has been at [[WP:AFD|AFD]], where he's made many excellent contributions. Hersfold has a number of strings to his bow - he's a new page patroller, helps out on the [[WP:Help desk|Help Desk]], fulfils speedy rename requests at [[WP:CFD|CFD]], contributes to [[WP:MOTD|Motto of the Day]], participates in [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]], and works on some of our most intricate templates, including [[WP:UTM|the user talk warning templates]]. His editing history shows a sound grasp of policy, including our image policies, an agreeable disposition when dealing with both new editors, and general awesomeness.

# '''Support''' Your response to the [[Bertrand Russell]] issue demonstrated a sort of ultimate way of responding to an area where you had messed up. If anything, it shows you would take seriously any significant error you made that is identified by the community. Furthermore, I've reviewed your recent work at AFD and it appears balanced and always with a decent explanation of your thought. An overall glance at your last 1k edits or so shows broad activity and good work being done, and impressive situations where others request help and you promptly help them. Good luck.[[User:Gwynand|Gwynand]] ([[User talk:Gwynand|talk]]) 19:18, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

#:Would you elaborate a little more? After some review of geni's RfA, it seems that Hersfold's done some real detective work.

#::The detective work was crap, look at the comments in the discussion section. I also don't like the dangerous characterisation "Stating that you "no longer really have the time to be involved in that form of conflict" tells me that you no longer really have the time to be an administrator." We're a volunteer project, the attitude that some people need to spend more time editing than others is wrong, and that assertion that someone has no free time to be an admin is wrong. [[User:Nick|Nick]] ([[User talk:Nick|talk]]) 19:54, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
#:::Which comments specifically are you referring to? I also justified my reasoning for that characterization - I do realize that this is volunteer work, but if such conflict comes his way, Geni's going to need to deal with it and not shove it off. Doing such is, as I said, irresponsible. I'm not requiring him to go seek that sort of conflict out, such is his right as a volunteer. Also, offering to take on extra responsibilities by nominating himself for adminship ''should'' mean that he feels he is able to take on that extra responsibility - immediately turning around and saying that he doesn't have time for it seems contradictory.
#:::On an unrelated note, is there any reason directly pertaining to myself as a prospective administrator that you are opposing? We are all entitled to our opinions in RfA's, which is why we have them. Opposing for that reason alone seems unfair (acknowledging that in this case I do have a slight conflict of interest, of course ;-) ).

#::::Geni didn't say he doesn't have time to deal with administrative functions, he said he doesn't have time to continue being involved in conflicts. Adminship doesn't revolve around conflicts and edit warring. I'm sure you know that, if not, then that alone is sufficent for me to oppose. I believe you do know that adminship doesn't have to be about conflicts and edit warring, so I have to take issue with the time statement. I've said this already, availability to be an admin has no bearing on suitability. If that's an attitude that's going to carry over into your administrative actions, then I'm feel I need to note my concerns here.

#::Commentary that you disagree with on a completely separate RfA for another user is not a valid reason for opposing a candidacy for adminship. To clarify, Hersfold's oppose commentary on Geni's RfA and his reasons should not cause you to oppose Hersfold's own RfA, or at the very least should not be the sole basis for your opposition. (I'd support Hersfold in this RfA, but at this point it would not make much difference in an RfA that was already in outstanding favor of the candidate). &mdash; <span style="font-family:Script MT Bold; font-size: 14pt">[[User:Scetoaux|scetoaux]] </span><span style="font-family:Script MT Bold"><sup>([[User_talk:Scetoaux|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Scetoaux|My contributions.]])</sup></span> 20:20, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

#:::Nick, I've been involved in conflicts simply due to the actions I currently undertake as a non-admin, as I have taken painstaking care to elaborate in the questions above. Administrative tools, by their very nature, tend to involve more controversial changes. Even if admins do not go looking for conflict, their position and increased access makes them far more prone to being involved in conflicts. I know that conflicts aren't what adminship is all about, however people seeking the admin tools need to be able and willing to deal with it when it does arise as a result of their actions. Furthermore, that was not my only reason for opposing Geni - if you read my comment again, (which I note you have not bothered to respond to within Geni's RfA, where I believe this discussion should have taken place) you will see that there were other reasons which led to my opposition.
#:::'''I further don't see how this would have any bearing on my actions as an administrator''' - judging the qualities of a prospective admin, and the consensus within an RfA, is the task of a bureaucrat, not an administrator. If the community grants the tools to Geni, as an administrator I would be able to do absolutely nothing about it, nor would I even if I could. You can tell from my responses to my questions above, and comments in debates elsewhere, that I value and respect community consensus and will abide by it even if it is against my own personal views. Your reason to oppose my RfA above does not provide any detail on how you feel this would reflect on my usage of the ''administrative tools'', and you still have not made that distinction clear despite this long discussion on that very topic. Were I applying to be a bureaucrat, then I would understand. Since I am not, I miss your point.

#::::Well, I'm concerned that if you think conflict is unavoidable, that will, to a certain extent, dictate your behaviour, which I find slightly worrying. Conflict is avoidable. If you go into a discussion with the idea that someone is always going to find fault with your actions, it has the potential to completely change the way the discussion evolves, and when you've got access to things like Special:Blockip, that makes me ever slightly worried.

#:::::Polling at... lets see... 97% right now.

#::My comment was probably more directed at Hersfold than you, Nick. I am in no way saying your opinion, discussion, or thoughts should be discounted or dismissed, even in the case that you are essentially the sole opposition (the other being a blanket, template opposition of all RfAs from a not-very-trustworthy editor) in the face of 70-odd positive ones. I was commenting that if I was Hersfold, I would stop arguing with you - I would bet a paycheck his RfA passes.

#:::Agreed. At this point there isn't any purpose in continuing this conversation - Nick and I are each missing the other's points, it seems, or otherwise consider them wrong.
