Welcome message

Hello and welcome to my userpage on Metawiki! My name is fr33kman and I'm an a former administrator on this project and a former steward & former global sysop for the WMF community globally. I am also an administrator, former bureaucrat, current check user, and a former oversighter on the simplewiki. If you need any help or advice please do not hesitate to contact me on my talk page or email me if you would prefer privacy.

My methodology

Basically I feel the following, of course there are always exceptions to the rule. I will strive to treat everyone I have dealings with in a respectful and polite manner. Whilst I may engage in wiki-combat with vandals and sockpuppeteers, I also chat quite friendly to some of them in IRC. My belief is that at the end of every keyboard is a real person. That having been said, I also expect the same in return. Be rude and I'll ignore you. I don't understand vandals and I probably never will. Why any one would decide to vandalize such a great cultural and educational resource such as the Wikimedia Foundation wikis is frankly beyond me. I have, to the best of my knowledge, been rude once and only once, something I am very sorry and regretful for.

Admining

I believe that once you get elected an administrator then as long as you remain decently active you should remain one. An admin who has 10 edits in two years, probably is not a good candidate to retain the mop; it's not a medal, it's a job. As for xwiki administration tasks, my attitude is that if there is something that needs done then it doesn't matter who does it, so long as it gets done. I fully agree that non-urgent things can wait and be brought to the local communities attention, but if something is time sensitive, illegal, libellous, etc., then I'm going to act. This may mean I do an emergency admin task on even a large wiki. If you do not wish me to act in this manner simply tell me so and I'll stop.

Discretion

Each bit that we get over time includes the concept of discretion. The holder has the right to either exercise or not their privileges under that flag. As such I may choose to exercise discretion in the use of any of my flags. i.e.: you can't force me to give you the flood flag if I don't think you need it.

IRC

I take part in many IRC channels and always use the nick fr33kman. People can just feel free to PM me and I'll talk with vandals, editors or anyone. If you see me in a "WMF" channel then I'm speaking as a steward, if you see me in a non-"WMF" channel I'm speaking solely as an individual. For those who think that secret goings on happen on IRC, they do not. For the most part the channels are public and you can feel free to join them. The private channels are there to ensure the enforcement of and compliance with the privacy policy, and for the most part go unused for hours on end. The same goes for IRC as it does for Discord, I do not think community consensus for onwiki matters should be made there. The only place where consensus should be built is on the official WMF wikis. I feel this because lots of people don't like or use online chat and it would be excluding their opinions to build consensus in a chat room.

Discord

I take part in the Simple English Wikipedia discord chat rooms where I go by the name fr33kman. If you need something doing urgently then you can ping me there and I'll be happy to help.

Blogs

I have a blog but it is nothing to do with WMF and I will not discuss WMF matters there. The only place I will discuss WMF matters is on IRC, Discord via email or onwiki. There are no exceptions to this rule.
