[edit] Technical

Administrators are users with the technical ability on Wikimedia Commons to:

delete and undelete images and other uploaded files, and to view and restore deleted versions
delete and undelete pages, and to view and restore deleted revisions
protect and unprotect pages, and to edit admin-protected pages
block and unblock users, individual IP addresses and IP address ranges
edit the MediaWiki namespace
rename files

These are collectively known as the admin tools.

[edit] Community role

Administrators are experienced and trusted members of the Commons community who have taken on additional maintenance work and have been entrusted with the admin tools by public consensus/vote. Different admins have different areas of interest and expertise, but typical admin tasks include determining and closing deletion requests, deleting copyright violations, undeleting files where necessary, protecting Commons against vandalism, and working on templates and other protected pages. Of course, some of these tasks can be done by non-admins as well.

Administrators are expected to understand the goals of this project, and be prepared to work constructively with others towards those ends. Administrators should also understand and follow Commons' policies, and where appropriate respect community consensus.

Apart from roles which require use of the admin tools, administrators have no special editorial authority by virtue of their position, and in discussions and public votes their contributions are treated in the same way as any ordinary editor. Of course, some admins are influential, but that derives not from their position as such but from the personal trust they have gained from the community.

[edit] How do I become an administrator?

First, consider whether becoming an administrator is the best way for you to contribute to the project. Experience shows that outstanding contributors of content often reduce their contributions because of the maintenance overhead after they become admins, and this is what we want least. So please contribute your best skills and understand that there are many ways of getting community credit besides being an admin. Admin status on Commons is not an honour for outstanding content contributors, but just provides an additional set of tools for people who show that they want to clean up.

Consider whether you actually need the admin tools for the work you would like to do. The community does not hand out the tools to those who do not need or who are not likely to make use of them. So, if you need the tools only for a limited period, or in order to clean up your own contributions, please simply ask an existing admin to help you out.

Admins are expected to remain reasonably active here, and if after appointment you cease to use the tools for an extended period you will automatically lose them under our de-admin policy. You should expect as a admin to make yourself available on Commons to a reasonable extent (a userpage that asks people to leave messages for you on some other project is not considered acceptable practice for an admin).

More information about the administrators' community roles can be found at Commons:Guide to adminship.

We do not have any hard and fast rules setting out the minimum period you should have been active on Commons in order to apply for adminship, nor any minimum number of edits. However, the requirement that you be a experienced and trusted member of the Commons community typically means that prior to applying you should have had sufficient breadth and depth of experience here to be able to demonstrate that. If you are an admin or an experienced user on another project, by all means mention that, but bear in mind that off-Commons experience is on its own not normally enough.

Although not mandatory, it is often a good idea to talk to existing admins to get feedback about your experience and approach. You may be able to get another admin to nominate you, although self-nominations are also allowed.

When you request adminship, the community will consider your ability to fill the admin role. Individual Commons contributors may have varying expectations of candidates, and you may wish to review some archived applications to get a sense of what people are looking for. As a practical matter, users often want to see a reasonable level of involvement in admin-type activities such as deletion requests, accurately tagging images as copyright violations, new user patrolling, and so on. Users often want to be satisfied that you are an integral member of the Commons community and will look at the way you interact with others, on user talk pages and elsewhere.

[edit] The public discussion and vote

Adminship nominations usually remain open for seven days, for votes and comments. The period starts when you posted your nomination (if a self-nom) or when you posted your acceptance (if somebody else nominated you). At the end of that period the nomination will be closed by a bureaucrat who will either grant or decline promotion. The nomination may be left open for more than seven days, or a longer period specified, should a bureaucrat consider that desirable.

As a guideline, promotion normally requires at least 75% in favour, with a minimum of 4 support votes. Votes from unregistered users are not counted. However, the closing bureaucrat has discretion in judging community consensus, and the decision will not necessarily be based on the raw numbers. Among other things, the closing bureaucrat may take into account the strength of any arguments presented and the experience and knowledge of the commenting users. For example, the comments and votes of users who have zero or few contributions on Commons may at the bureaucrat's discretion be discounted.

If the nomination is successful, the closing bureaucrat will grant the applicant admin rights.

[edit] The request for adminship

When you are ready, make sure you have a userpage, enable email in your preferences, then apply, or ask your nominator to apply, back on the main Commons:Administrators page.

[edit] Suggestions for administrators

Please read Commons:Guide to adminship.

[edit] Removal of administrator rights

Under the de-admin policy, administrator rights may be revoked due to inactivity or misuse of sysop tools.

[edit] How do I become an administrator?

First, go to Commons:Administrators/Howto and read the information there. Then come back here and make your request in the section below.

After clicking on the appropriate button and creating the subpage, copy the link to the subpage, e.g. "Commons:Administrators/Requests/Username", edit Commons:Administrators/Requests and paste it in at the top of the section, then put it in double curly brackets (e.g. {{Commons:Administrators/Requests/Username}} ) to transclude it.

If someone else nominated you, please accept the nomination by stating "I accept" or something similar, and signing below the nomination itself. The subpage will still need to be transcluded by you or your nominator.

Use the box below, replacing Username with your username:

[edit] Voting

Any registered user may vote here although those who have few or no previous edits may not be fully counted. It is preferable if you give reasons both for Support votes or Oppose ones as this will help the closing bureaucrat in their decision. Greater weight is given to argument, with supporting evidence if needed, than to a simple vote.

Promotion normally requires at least 75% in favour, with a minimum of 4 support votes. Votes from unregistered users are not counted. However, the closing bureaucrat has discretion in judging community consensus, and the decision will not necessarily be based on the raw numbers.

Purge the cache Use the edit link below to edit the transcluded page.

[edit] Requests for adminship

When complete, pages listed here should be archived to Commons:Administrators/Archive.

Please read Commons:Administrators before voting here. Any logged in user may vote, although those who have few or no previous edits may not be fully counted.

I noticed many copyvios and images tagged with no license/source/permission by candidate recently...

I sure administrator's tools will be helpful for candidate's work and Commons as project.

Candidate is also native Lithuanian language speaker what will definitely help to improve communication between Commons and Lithuanian language projects.

EugeneZelenko (talk) 16:19, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I gladly accept the nomination. Thank you. As EugeneZelenko pointed out my main interest and contributions are in monitoring recently uploaded media files, marking possible copyright violations, deletion request, Flickr reviewing and helping to uploaders, like rotating, renaming and so on. Although my home wiki is lt:wiki where I started as editor and occasionally moved images to Commons, now I devote all my time here. --Justass (talk) 16:30, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Scheduled to end 8 December 2009(2009-12-08), 02:27 (UTC)

It's the first time I'm proposing someone to become an administrator on Commons.

English: Jean-Frédéric is a very active contributor on this project (perhaps, more than myself). His editcount is presently 2988 and 220 of his editions have been deleted; most of them were copyvio he tagged.
Active in seeking copyvios, Jean-Frédéric (known as Jean-Fred in real life and on Twitter) is also a very active template maker. For example, he recently created {{Mérimée}}, which is very useful for historical monuments of France. All of his actions show that he’s really involved in the development of Commons, especially in video games, and that he’s a trustable user.
The administrator tools would allow him to delete unappropriate files without making a deletion request. He will also be able to work on protected templates.
Pymouss Let’s talk - 21:03, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Français : Jean-Frédéric est l’un des contributeurs les plus actifs de ce projet (sans doute, plus que moi). Son compteur d’Édith montre actuellement qu’il a fait 2988 éditions et il compte 220 contributions supprimées ; pour la plupart, il s’agit de copyvios purgés après qu’il les a signalés.
Actif dans la chasse aux copyvios, Jean-Frédéric (connu sous le nom de JeanFred dans la vraie vie et sur Gazouilleur) est aussi un créateur de modèles particulièrement actif. Par exemple, il a récemment créé {{Mérimée}}, un outil très utile pour le Projet Monuments Historiques français. Dans toutes ses actions, il montre qu’il est vraiment impliqué dans le développement de Commons, notamment dans les jeux vidéo, et qu’il est un utilisateur de confiance.
Les outils d’administrateur lui serait utiles pour supprimer les fichiers inappropriés sans faire de demande de suppression. Il pourra aussi travailler sur des modèles protégés.

Thanks Pymouss. After thorough reading of Commons:Guide to adminship, I gladly accept the nomination. Jean-Fred (talk) 02:27, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Support:

Deutsch: Definitiv. Zu allererst ist mir seine sehr gute Arbeit im Bereich des Auto-Übersetzens aufgefallen. Er hat bei zahlreichen Vorlagen die Auto-Übersetzung aktiviert und sie zudem alle ins Französische übersetze. Anschließend sah ich, wie er immer wieder die „Lang-.*“-Vorlagen bearbeitete und dabei die grade zuvor von ihm übersetzte Commons-Seite hinzufügte. Doch das ist nicht alles, was sich in seinen Beiträgen finden lässt. Er ist ebenfalls ein gut arbeitender Urheberrechtsverletzungs-Jäger und hat ziemlich häufig kategorisiert. Bei all seinen Bearbeittungen hat er die Zusammenfassung benutzt, um so die Bearbeitung verständlicher zu machen. Entsprechend denke ich, dass er eindeutig bewiesen hat, dass er für das Amt eines Admins in der Lage ist.

English: Absolutely. I first noted his very good work in the area of autotranslating templates. He enabled the autotranslation of quite a lot templates, which he all translated into French as well. Secondly, I noted edits to "Lang-.*" templates, where he added the next French Commons project page that he has translated. But this isn't everything that's findable in his contribution list. He's also a very well working copyvio hunter and he categorized quite a lot. With all edits, he made use of the "edit summary" in order to make his edits comprehensible. Thus, I believe that he has clearly shown that he's able to be a good admin.

Français : Absolument. La première fois, je l'ai vu autotraduire beaucoup de modèles qu'il a toujours traduit également en français. Après, il a modifié de nombreux modeles « Lang-.* » ou il a ajouté la page du projet qu'il a traduit en français. Mais ce n'est pas tout. Il est aussi à la chasse aux atteintes aux droit d'auteur et il fait beaucoup avec des catégories. Il utilise toujours le résumé de sorte que les autres gens peuvent mieux comprendre ses modifications. C'est pourquoi je trouve qu'il peut être un très bon administrateur.

Comment: I've written my reasoning in all languages I'm able to speak. In my opinion, my rationale shouldn't be restricted to people who speak English, but should also be understood by other people. --The Evil IP address (talk) 16:17, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Du hast recht. Ich wird die Eingabe in Französisch übersetzen. Pymouss Let’s talk - 08:39, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Commons is the primary wiki I am active on. I am quite active user with over 30k edits in 2.5 years I was involved. I operate user:JarektBot which had 261k edits in a year. My contributions include:

Template improvements and unification. I was very involved in overhauling {{location}} template family and {{creator}} template, often working, with admins who were allowed to edit those protected templates. I am also involved in template localization/internationalization efforts.
Patrolling new edits. Mostly image annotations, new Creator pages and through my 6.5k file watchlist. I do have rollback and patrolling rights
Image categorization and category organization. I ofter organize image collections related to topics I am interested in. For example: Category:Poland in World War II, category:climbing, category:x-rays. I was also involved in adding categories and descriptions to images from Category:Bundesarchiv and Category:Deutsche Fotothek.
Standardization and internationalization of pages in Creator namespace. That includes organization of categories most affected by problems with autocategorizing creator pages (see here for status]).
Adding my own photographs, scanning of old photographs (see here) or adding and organizing PD images I find on the web (like most of images in here or here).
Removing watermarks from 2-3k images. See here or here.
Contributing to Commons:Village_pump, policy, guidelines and template documentation pages. See Commons:Credit line or Commons:Image annotations.
My bot was involved for a while in header internationalization efforts.
Moving images from pl and en wikis to commons.
Occasionally I also help with DR (see here or here).

This is my second try to gain Administrative rights. The first one was unsuccessful due to lack of votes, see Commons:Requests and votes/Jarekt. I am planning to use my admin rights mostly to "edit the interface and other protected pages" and "protecting Commons against vandalism" ¹. --Jarekt (talk) 16:18, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
