MusikAnimal (talk • contribs • deleted user contributions • logs • block log • abuse log • CentralAuth • stalktoy) Bureaucrats: user rights management.

Hello! I'm MusikAnimal. I serve as an administrator, CheckUser and abuse filter manager on English Wikipedia, and am also a global renamer, and abuse filter helper. To give a brief history: My earliest contributions to Wikimedia date back to 2003 or so, limited only to occasional minor anonymous edits on English Wikipedia. In May 2012 I finally decided to start giving back, and by March 2013 I was editing heavily on enwiki. Eventually I made my way to Commons, occasionally contributing to English Wikivoyage and Wikidata, and to some degree here on Meta. I am a native English speaker with an aspiring fluency in Spanish.

Following a recent RfC, Meta admins are now allowed to manage global abuse filters. This, along with improving local filters, is the main reason I'm here today requesting adminship. General counter-vandalism is a strong interest of mine, and accounts for the bulk of my Wikimedia contributions. The most recent example of where I could help out is this cross-wiki vandalism report. For this I've been communicating with a steward off-wiki on how to combat the abuse (as we do not want to discuss the filter patterns publicly). Beyond this, I am committed to improving filter performance anywhere I notice it is needed. I monitor the slow filter dashboard and make recommendations if I observe filters are exceptionally slow (e.g. local: 1, 2, global: 3, 4).

I admit my contributions to Meta in particular are not profound. For my primary use-case (abuse filter management), it was recommended by some that I seek temporary adminship. However, I see this as an ongoing area where I can volunteer my expertise. Additionally, if given the privilege, I look forward to making myself helpful in other venues here on Meta, such as WM:RFH, general patrolling, wherever I see I have something to offer. So in summary, I hope I can be trusted to use the sysop tools wisely, as they would certainly be useful to me, as much as I hope I will prove to be to you. Thanks for your consideration. — MusikAnimal ^talk 00:08, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support trusted and active user who can help us manage the global filters, and is sufficiently experienced to use the tools in other areas of the project. – Ajraddatz (talk) 00:30, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Lot of experience. –Ammarpad (talk) 00:59, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think that MA's skills will be a great benefit here. —DoRD talk 01:28, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support is competent with AF's and will be able to help there. FWIW @MusikAnimal: I think I was mentioning going for "limited" (which is temporary by nature, but we have precedence for it to be recurring) adminship, primarily if you were not going to be able to maintain the (albeit quite low) activity requirements for normal adminship. — xaosflux ^Talk 02:43, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support meets the requirements, trusted and knowledgeable. Just make it full, lets not dick around limited — billinghurst sDrewth 06:18, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support well, seeing as he nom'd me on en.wiki adminship, I can't really say I don't trust him or that I think he's unqualified. Great user and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. No reason not to give it to him. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:00, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support MA is one of the most trusted user on the English Wikipedia and the type of person we need as admin here. My limited experience with this user on the English Wikipedia has been quiet pleasant. T Cells (talk) 08:02, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
