Teke[edit]

Teke was renamed to Keegan in June of 2007

Final (76/1/1) ended 15:16, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Teke (talk · contribs) – Teke (talk · contribs) (previously known as TKE)– from Tennessee, United States has been editing since November 2005 and has contributed a lot of time to Recent Changes Patrol, stub sorting, as well as helping at AfD and being a voice of calm reason on article talk pages.

On the writing front, Teke has written articles such as Lynn Peterzell, Sea Island, British Columbia as well as maintaining Tau Kappa Epsilon, showing a good grasp of WP:NPOV, the fundamental pillar of encyclopedic integrity, also evidenced in this edit.

Teke is at all times calm and polite, and has not engaged in edit-warring, nor been the recipient of any blocks. His email is enabled and his userpage is noncontroversial.

Teke can be seen engaging in calm, skillful and rational debate, at pages such as Talk:Northern Exposure ([1]), Talk:Edward Teller ([2], [3]), Talk:Queen Anne-Marie of Greece ([4]), Talk:Athenian democracy ([5]), Talk:Neil Patrick Harris ([6]) [7] and Talk:East Timor ([8]), where sensitive issues such as sexual orientation, nationalism and anti-Semitism are present.

His AfD participation and nature of his comments show rational thinking, logic and commitment to quality debate, which would be required of an administrator in closing non clear-cut debates (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zachary Eastham, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Tsou, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Toronto poker, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NikeTalk, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Logically inevitable andWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Markus Kuhn)

He also has a good understanding of image copyright as can be seen by his uploads ([9]). He has also helped to track sockpuppets (User_talk:Redvers/Archive09#IntheGhetto06) and helping new users ([10]), as well as a solid policy knowledge shown by helping to compile evidence for Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Monicasdude (no he was not the party under investigation).

I ask the community to consider Teke for adminship.Blnguyen | rant-line 07:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I humbly accept the nomination. Teke 17:06, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: I am eager to get started with some of the more obscure pages, such as Wikipedia: Requested moves, WP:COPYVIO, and WP:RFP. I started to tackle WP:MERGE, a huge backlog, several weeks ago, but put that on hold as that backlog would greatly benifit with admin tools in merging page histories. I will be more than happy to clear out CSD and AIV should it get backed up while I'm online, and look over the five-day-old XfDs and PRODs as they expire.
I also would make great use out of the server based rollback, as my .js one has been ornery and doesn't always do what I like. I am certain that I will be active in every aspect of administration, I already read WP:PAIN and WP:AN/I daily and I am more than ready to aid in conflict resolution with an admin hat ready.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I state on my userpage that this is the encyclopedic edit that I am most proud of out of historical significance. I've also enjoyed maintaining Two Gallants (band), which used to be a copyvio press release. I am not a writer , I am critical analyser and discussor by nature (hence my decision to major in history). Therefore I'd say my pleasure come from the Talk resolutions I've participated in mentioned by the nominator, as well as chasing away of the Matt Leinart Vandal, who has not vandalized Matt Leinart since my checkuser request.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A: I have not been in any conflicts over my own editing, and none of the other conflicts I have been engaged in have been particularly heated. I know that as an administrator this changes rapidly, with protections, blocks and deletions angering users that were often making changes in good faith, they just didn't know what they were doing wrong and as such they lash out. I will have no problem dealing with these users. For the ones who get angered and take it too personally, there's nothing I can do about that except give the best advice I can for correcting the error. I've had much experience in online conflicts over the years; I have a thick skin and know when to walk away.

  2. Support After looking at all the things Teke has done, I think he would be a great admin. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 17:52, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support - Teke seems to be experienced and have a good grasp of policy. I see no evidence that he would abuse the tools, and his editing would benefit significantly from having them as outlined in his response to the first prompt. Fabricationary 18:02, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  15. Support Will use the tools well. Not that it actually matters at this point, but I'm changing to strong support per Teke's responses to Kokota below.
