Wikiquote:Requests for adminship/Yehudi

I am delighted to be nominating Yehudi for administrator. He has been with us for six months, and has been an energetic contributor in every part of the site. He has started articles ranging from Hippopotamus to Andrei Gromyko, from Mud to Charles Perrault. Not only that, he has done category and stub fixing, vandal fighting, greeting new users and any amount of VfD contributions. He has even corrected some of my errors! I am certain that he will be a very useful addition to the admin corps.

He has accepted here and I have asked him to confirm on this page.--Cato 21:54, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Support. Yehudi has been very busy in the time he's been editing here. As Cato says, he's plenty of work on a wide variety of articles. He's done a tremendous amount of maintenance and cleanup work, has done new-user welcoming, and has participated substantially in community forums like WQ:VP, WQ:VFD, WQ:RFA, and WQ:AN (where he's done some anti-vandalism work as well). He's excellent at providing edit summaries. He's bold but not reckless, asking questions when he doesn't know policies and practices (that are all-too-frequently unclear). My only concern is that his boldness can sometimes run afoul with existing practices when questions aren't quickly answered by folks more familiar with long-term practices (e.g., WQ:VP). But I see this as more of a problem between (Wikiquote) age and experience vs. youth and energy, and in the end, WQ geezers like myself will just have to keep up or get out of the way of hardworking editors like him. &#9786; ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:29, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems so ungracious to comment on Jeff's glowing endorsement, but I did follow the advice of Ubiquity over Animals.--Yehudi 06:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Yehudi is now a sysop. --Aphaia 21:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I am extremely grateful for this wonderful tribute to my contributions. I hope that I can continue to deserve it!--Yehudi 06:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
