ShakataGaNai ‎

User is very active on Wikinews and can definitely be trusted. First edit 5 June 2008 and user became active in July. Twice todays he has asked me to perform an admin action, so he clearly has a need for the tools. Also, ShakataGaNai is a commons admin and an accredited reporter.

Questions

Do you accept this nomination? Anonymous101^talk 19:45, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes. --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 19:47, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you successfully become an Admin, will you help out with admin tasks such as archiving articles older than seven days and Proposed deletions? Cirt (talk) 05:35, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I wuvvle killing things. Wait, am I supposed to admit that I enjoy destruction? Oh well, I can always get my fix on Commons and play nice here. Sure I can help with Protections of archives. I can probably make AWB do it for me even. --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 05:42, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Per WN:ARCHIVE you should not use AWB for archiving. Anonymous101^talk 14:51, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AWB has come a long way since I wrote those parts of WN:ARCHIVE. There are certain aspects of the process could be carried out with it (eg getting rid of stupid MS Word quotemarks and fixing spelling) but I strongly suspect a final once-through with a regular browser would still be required. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 09:24, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support just don't feel so afraid of doing touch-up work on articles that you are reviewing. With some fixes, you can publish some of those you are currently failing. Cheers, --SVTCobra 01:03, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yea. I've been working on taking a softer edge. I'm not failing for no cats and simple stuff that I can fix. I'm always open for comments and critque of what I'm doing. It's not like I'm the "expert" on reviewing - I just seem to have gotten the job. --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 05:32, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
