User:Giraffer/2024 U4C special election guide

< User:Giraffer

This is a rough analysis of each candidate's Wikimedia experience, using their statistics. Blank or mostly incomplete candidacies are excluded, as are ineligible candidates.

To avoid any confusion: the official guide is an adaptation of my first table, with some editorial judgements removed.


i made this entirely on mobile web

never again

Legend

edit

Any candidate involuntarily desysopped or blocked within the past three years is automatically coloured red. Candidates who did not answer any questions before the voting period began are also automatically colored red. If neither of these conditions apply, the criteria below are used.

     Bureaucrat, arbitrator, or functionary experience      10000 edits and non-temporary sysop rights OR 20000 edits      Does not meet either of the above criteria

Sorting the table by rights will also sort it by color.

Abbreviation Seat
NA North America (US & Canada)
NWE Northwestern Europe
LAC Latin America and Caribbean
CEE Central and Eastern Europe
SSA Sub-Saharan Africa
MENA Middle East and Northern Africa
ESEAP East, South East Asia and Pacific
SA South Asia
CAL Community-at-large
  1. ↑ To three significant figures.
  2. ↑ Includes bureaucrat, checkuser, oversighter, arbitrator, and steward. All permissions listed are on the specified homewiki unless stated otherwise. Test and affiliate wikis are excluded.
  3. ↑ a b Did not answer any questions before voting opened and did not answer any questions at all, otherwise they would be colored green.
  4. ↑ CentralAuth gives a date of September 2009, but their first edit was in June 2006.
  5. ↑ CentralAuth gives a date of July 2009, but the dewiki local interface says August 2008.
  6. ↑ CentralAuth gives a registration date of 2011, but their registration was pre-SUL. Their first edit is from April 2006.
  7. ↑ While Waltercolor has no significant onwiki permissions, they were part of the U4C Building Committee, Revisions Committee, and the Phase II Drafting Committee for the Enforcement Guidelines. This experience does not fill the criteria for a higher color band but is both relevant and substantial, and I have left them uncolored (rather than red) to reflect this.
  8. ↑ Did not answer any questions.
  9. ↑ Their current account's CentralAuth dates to October 2021, but they have a previous account which was registered in May 2014.
  10. ↑ On their current account.
  11. ↑ Did not answer any questions before voting opened, otherwise they would be colored green. Answered questions after voting opened.

Table 2: Homewikis

edit

This table displays some additional information about candidates who have declared there homewiki to be a wiki that is not their most edited.

"EC" is an abbreviation for edit count. All numbers are to two significant figures.

Candidate Homewiki rank by edits[1] Homewiki EC divided by total EC Homewiki EC divided by most edited wiki EC Homewiki Most edited wiki
787IYO 2 0.22 0.39 Hausa Wikipedia Commons
Ajraddatz 2 0.29 0.75 Wikidata Meta
Iwuala Lucy 5 0.08 0.23 Igbo Wikipedia Commons
ProtoplasmaKid 2 0.26 0.60 Spanish Wikipedia Commons
Taoheedah 2 0.11 0.22 English Wikiquote Yoruba Wikipedia
  1. ↑ In other words, if the candidate's homewiki is their most edited wiki, it would be 1. If it is their second most edited, it would be 2, etc.
