I usually see people being nominated here, but I am attempting to request an adminship for my own again, having been asked to try again in a couple of weeks; 5 months later, I think I can try again. I am an active contributor at fr.wikipedia (editcount), and besides the activity I have at Commons (categorization, tagging for deletion, translations), I sometimes need [someone] to perform administrative tasks on Commons.

People at fr.wikipedia know me well and probably think this nomination is a good idea. But for people who not know me and/or think the contrib lists aren't sufficient enough to give them an opinion about me, I would advise them not to hesitate to ask questions before voting, if they want to see if this status is suitable for my behavior, points of view, and such.

Here are some interesting things about me:

• I can spot problematic licensing ;
• If you want to see how I react to a (small, kind of) conflict: Template talk:Pink CC (please note that I will ask Samuel Blanc to send an OTRS permission once he's back, to make sure) ;
• I watch daily, and participate to the FP candidates ;
• I watch daily the deletion requests, but since I can't receive e-mails from Commons about them, it's when I think about them that I contribute ;
• I tend to prefer interventions on Commons: and Template: namespaces; I prefer dialog rather than to fix problems (ie I know that, on DR, the thing that does matter is the arguments, not the number of votes) ;
• My last (I know how to react now, and that my motivation text for deletion wasn't right) illustration of WP:POINT on a deletion request.

I have read and understand fully the project scope (which I am currently translating, nicely helped by Korrigan when I don't have time —thanks a lot to him—). I have read this section and know what being a sysop here does imply.

Well, I think don't have any other important thing to say, good or bad, about me. Please note that this is a second nomination: first is located here: Commons:Administrators/Requests and votes/Diti. If you are interested, here is my editcount for Commons.

Cheers,

 Question what would you do if somebody uploaded this image here? Also explain why you would do it. --Kanonkas_(talk) 17:09, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, the image seems suitable for Commons, since the Creative Commons license applying to it is CC-by. Just to make sure, I usually quickly look at:

1. The photo at full size, to see whether this is a repost or an original work;
2. The other photos from the uploader at Flickr.

Here, the subject has been photographed by the person at Flickr, his photos are usually “All rights reserved” if identifiable people appear, but as it's not, he has put them under CC-by. So, as long as the correct source, author and license information are given, I wouldn't delete it.

I must add that, if a similar monument had been photographed in France, I would have (even as a sysop, to have the community consensus) requested its deletion, because Freedom of panorama isn't allowed over there.

(Interesting monument, by the way) Diti (talk to the penguin) 17:59, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Wrong answer, you might want to take a look at COM:FOP. --Kanonkas_(talk) 19:16, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Impressive test… I have to admit that I have watched the page in the past but I've been only interested in the France section, living here and knowing that I'd have issues with it in the future. It's definitely a page I have to read completely, or at least looking at it before closing a RfD. Thanks, I have learned of this. :) Diti (talk to the penguin) 20:03, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
