Wikisource:Administrators/Archives/Captain Nemo

2015-07 admin
I would like to nominate Captain Nemo for adminship. They have been with us for 5 years, and undertook their first edit on Author:Arthur Conan Doyle, so straight in to the deep end. Nearly 40k edits, doing plenty of maintenance work in that time, and as I noticed a few days ago, unable to clean up after some excellent maintenance. If you look at Captain Nemo's contributions you will see an extensive cross-namespace set of contributions. — billinghurst  sDrewth  11:09, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

 * — Agree with Billinghurst's assessment; a solid contributor and excellent when it comes maintenance practices. -- George Orwell III (talk) 20:27, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * - I see nothing in this editor's history that would disqualify them from wielding the mop. BD2412 T 21:07, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Removal requested.[//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steward_requests/Permissions&oldid=15874053#Captain_Nemo.40enwikisource] Hesperian 04:03, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Reverted self. There has been an error here.
 * According to our Restricted access policy,
 * "An 'inactive administrator' is one who has not edited during the past six months and has nmore than 50 edits during the last year."
 * Captain Nemo may not have edited since November 2015, but they made around five thousand edits in the months preceding, and therefore they are not inactive under our policy.
 * Whoever started this discussion at the start of the month has erred in listing Captain Nemo as inactive. The vote has been held under a misapprehension. As an active administrator, Captain Nemo cannot be removed unless a vote of confidence is called. No such vote of confidence was called, though the criteria for one was met... but again, under a misapprehension. What a mess.
 * I am going to close this without an outcome, and relist it.
 * Hesperian 04:22, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * A sensible reaction, and in response may I register my opposition to continuance. You cannot win them all. AuFCL (talk) 04:29, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Can you vote in the "Captain Nemo" section below please? Hesperian 04:47, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I do not see how an administrator becoming inactive and therefore being removed from administrator status is a "win" for anyone. BD2412 T 13:18, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

2016-09 relisting

 * Relisted from last month. Captain Nemo is active under our restricted access policy, not inactive. Hesperian 04:42, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

As expressed (momentarily) above. Sadly: another failed experiment. AuFCL (talk) 05:19, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * for now and hopefully they return. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 13:25, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * as per August comments — billinghurst  sDrewth  14:02, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * --Zyephyrus (talk) 16:05, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: I have also pinged Captain Nemo about this discussion on his Wikipedia talk page. Cheers! BD2412 T 18:03, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
