Examknow (Wiki Creator)

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * While there are some concerns with the user's activity, becoming a wiki creator is a great way to get started in the meta community, as very little else happens regularly that is not wiki creation. We should not turn away those who are willing to help. -- Void  Whispers 21:08, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

User: Examknow ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki Creator Reason: Been helping out around here lately and been active on IRC. I would really like to help out on-wiki more and it seems as having more wiki creators could really help. --Examknow ● talk ● contribs 19:34, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Comment Do you plan on being active on Meta on a regular basis? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 19:48, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes I fully intend on being active on Meta regularly. In fact the main reason I am requesting this is so I can be of more help around here. --Examknow ● talk ● contribs 23:35, 28 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, after waiting a few days to consider this, I've chosen to open the voting with an oppose. I've decided to oppose this as in the short time this user has been back from an extended wikibreak where they had no contact with anyone on wiki, despite saying they've 'been helping out around here lately' I've yet to see them successfully help a single user on wiki. I've advised this user on IRC to wait for a week or two and make sure you show your face. When asked whether I'd nominate them days before this request, I again told them to wait a bit, to which they have not done which shows an eagerness similar to that of the current steward application of another user. This is enough for me to show this user is not ready for Wiki Creator yet although I think they could have the potential in time if they are careful. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 19:06, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I believe you told me to be active for a few days which I have and it is not like there is much to do other than create wikis except for the occasional comment on the community noticeboard. If you would like me to help out more than I am right now I really need somebody to tell me what to help out with other than to wait for a new post on the noticeboard. --Examknow ● talk ● contribs 19:11, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * If you'd have waited a week or two and actually successfully helped someone on Phab/IRC/Wiki then I'd have been supporting you. You say in the application you have 'been helping people around here lately' which is a lie in my opinion. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 19:16, 30 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I think it is very serious to say that someone is 'lying' especially as you are an administrator on this wiki and have more responsibility than normal user. --DeeM28 (talk) 08:31, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Apologises if it came across as harsh. I probably shouldn't write so quickly and concentrate. Not the best choice of words. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 19:45, 1 September 2019 (UTC)


 * I understand the other comments here but wiki creator is made to help by helping people with creating their wikis. I do not understand why help on Phabricator is important for a wiki request. For me it is important that a wiki creator knows policies and has been around at least a bit which it seems that Examknow has. But I do have one worry and question which is why I voted weak, can you talk about why you are blocked on Wikipedia? --DeeM28 (talk) 08:31, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Please keep your signature shorter than a 2-3 lines. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  07:56, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Uh, is there a policy for this? Perhaps you can simply guide the user to use a signature template instead of replacing another user's signature.-- 08:11, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * There's a sense that it definitely shouldn't be that long. 2-3 lines was my idea of a reasonable guideline but using a signature template is of course allowed. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  08:14, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * All right, I agree with the fact that the signature was using a very and uncommonly long source code. However, you could've asked the user to fix it by him/herself before forcefully fixing it. A signature is marked to prove who posted the comment, and should not be fixed by others unless it's really necessary due to some serious reasons (such as, containing broken tags or malicious codes).-- 08:20, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
