alnokta edit

I would like to be a sysop because I can do the cleanup work as needed...I use the button as appropriate to delete/protect/block and I like to think that I'm doing the correct thing but I make mistakes and always asking guys to fix me. I don't have a whole lot of contributions here as the counters say. I help in the Arabic wiki mainly (from editing as anon to check potential sockpuppet abusers) , And with bot-like work on the English one. I also help with our email system. Salam. --Alnokta 01:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support I've seen you around quite a bit, and I think you can be trusted as an admin here. Just don't make too many mistakes ;) Majorly (talk) 01:58, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Meta needs a joke. Much more. --Aphaia 03:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: while he didn't refer himself, Alnokta is an experienced Wikipedia editor on Arabic Wikipedia (ar-n, en-2 or more), granted Checkuser access. While he is not terribly active here on meta, we have many sysops in a similar activity level, and he sometimes has given a help on several pages. I'd add we have currently no Arabic speaking admin on meta substantially. --Aphaia 16:29, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

comment/question I am sorry I am irritated by this statement: „I like to think that I'm doing the correct thing but I make mistakes“ - You think You do it right but make it wrong? What are You talking about, if I may ask? Salam, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 13:48, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No need to be sorry :), Here is a mistake I did in not writing in a clearer way which lead to you being irritated and for that I'm sorry..I didn't know that you will find the statement irritating until you noticed me, That is what I mean by

"You think You do it right but make it wrong"...Sometimes, You cannot find the 100% certainty and you need to utilize your best judgment and hope for the good..And you may ask as you wish..Hope that answers your question..btw, Nice to see you use Salam :). Frieden.--Alnokta 15:31, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Selam al'leikum, Alknota. Thanks, I like Your honesty. Maybe Your presentation was a bit too modest :) I'd like to->

Sysops can do things which have wider impact and harder to reverse (at least "politically" so). And they are supposed fix things for people, not the other way round. Your self-recommendation is worrying. Hillgentleman 15:42, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it a bad trait now to be able to admit your own mistakes? Am I supposed to say that I know everything, I never do anything wrong, You cannot possibly find a glitch in my decisions and actions? Am I to say that I'm perfect? An advice If I may relay to you, "You cannot learn without making mistakes and if you want to learn, you have to ask". Thanks.--Alnokta 15:49, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support a strong one; meta is a central project, and native Arabic admins are needed here. Alnokta is very active back on ar.wiki, him being here in meta would server not just meta but the Arabic community both on meta and on arawiki. His is a part of so many projects as a user, sysop , checkuser and Bureaucrat. He is available on the IRC most of the time (sometimes 24/24), #wikipedia-ar, #wikimedia-commons,#wikimedia #mediawiki, #pywikipediabot, #wikimedia-stewards, #wikimedia-tech, ... you name it. He is voiced on #wikimedia-commons, and an op on #wikipedia-ar. All in all, trust worthy, and is needed by Arab community. --Tarawneh 17:25, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alnokta is a very trustworthy user, he has both admin and cu rights on ar.wp and has never abused them AFAIK. He is also active on IRC and one of the few Arabic users active on foundation and wikitech mailing lists. --Shipmaster 19:19, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support for sure. per Tarawneh and Shipmaster. --Mido 22:36, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I ran out of time yesterday. I understand what Hillgentleman is saying but I see that as the way you expressed your request rather than declaring incompetence! A combination of interaction with the user and knowledge of rights, trust etc leaves me Supporting happily --Herby ^{talk thyme} 09:36, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above. --Meno25 14:08, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
