*This users's contributions never require cleanup/fixing. His many image contributions, which don't seem to be moved/edited by staff, shows knowledge of the wiki's image naming policy - A policy that I'm not even sure ''I'' fully understand (which is kinda pathetic!). Through seeing the countless hours that staff spend cleaning up the image namespace due to other user's misunderstanding of these policies, this shows me that this user understands one of the most complicated areas of the wiki, and how this wiki works. I imagine that he could use the admin tools to help further cleanup this namespace (through moving images and such). He has also recently shown dedication to the wiki through completing repetitive tasks such as adding templates to images, another display of knowledge of this wiki. One thing that does concern me is his answer above where he says that the role of an admin is to "to make the right decision even if it's the unpopular one". Most decisions on this wiki are made by consensus, and so if a decision is ''unpopular'', doesn't that mean it needs to be discussed more? Although he does continue to mention helping other users (the ''main'' role of an admin!) and not using admin status as an advantage in discussions.

:I noticed quite a while ago that Silver Infernus' edits have not needed patrolling and recently made him a trusted user. As JFletcher mentions, the understanding of the naming policy isn't the easiest thing for users but Infernus does that with each image, even now adding the relevant screenshot template. His experience on another wiki would also surely be useful to this wiki. And I think the 'unpopular' decisions is in reference to deleting certain images or reverting edits, something that I have done for years, which prove unpopular. I think Silver Infernus is talking about this more than making unpopular decisions on a large scale, such as changing a policy or a page template. A-Dust 21:18, 16 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
