'''Final: (288/5/0) - Closed as successful by [[User:Acalamari|Acalamari]] at 13:19, 11 September 2021 (UTC)'''
====Nomination====
{{User|Blablubbs}}&nbsp;– Dedicated, creative, kind, and knowledgeable, Blablubbs is someone I've been pestering to RfA for months now. In addition to his solid content work (four DYKs and new GA [[Wolfdietrich Schnurre]] stand out), Blablubbs particularly excels in the maintenance and anti-abuse work that keeps our project running. In his 40,000 edits over the last 15 months, he has demonstrated a superb grasp of the letter and spirit of our policies as well as the good judgment and temperament that will make him a terrific administrator.

His need for the tools is clear. Blablubbs is one of our best and most prolific SPI clerks{{snd}}his SPI record ([[User:Blablubbs/spihelper log|1]] [[User:Blablubbs/spihelper log/Archives/3|2]] [[User:Blablubbs/spihelper log/Archives/2|3]] [[User:Blablubbs/spihelper log/Archives/1|4]]) speaks for itself, and as a CheckUser, I trust him implicitly. Blablubbs is also a core member of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject on open proxies|WikiProject on open proxies]] and an avid ACC team member, and has helped lead broader anti-abuse efforts, including the [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive335#Recent_proxy_blocks|recent push on residential proxies]]. 

Finally, Blablubbs shares the same unmeasurable qualities as Wikipedia's best administrators: he communicates well (see his talk page), he listens before speaking, he's unafraid to change his mind, and he is enjoyable to work with. I'm honored to present him to the community for adminship. Best, '''[[User:L235|KevinL]]''' (<small>aka</small> [[User:L235|L235]] '''·''' [[User talk:L235#top|t]] '''·''' [[Special:Contribs/L235|c]]) 02:32, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

=====Co-nomination=====
Blablubbs has crossed my path on many occasions in the past year, always in a positive way. He's been working on SPIs (and asking really useful questions), pitching in on the open proxy work, giving serious attention to undisclosed paid editing, and keeps showing up with useful comments and suggestions on phabricator tickets. It was pretty obvious to me that he'd be even more effective if he had the administrator tools, so a few months ago I asked him if there was a reason he wasn't an admin yet. This is where it gets really interesting.

Blablubbs was well aware of the expectations for administrator candidates, and was upfront that he didn't think he had done enough work yet on quality content, but that he planned to address this in the near future; then he did some very good work at [[Wolfdietrich Schnurre]] and got it up to GA.  He also had taken the time to carefully review his activities to self-identify any other weaknesses. He knew that, although his account was created back in 2014, he really didn't get into editing until it occurred to him during the insanity of the global pandemic that editing Wikipedia would be something useful to do with his time. He knows he's made some faux pas on deletion discussions and requests, but has learned from his errors. He's had a few missteps on SPI, which is expected of new clerks, and has learned from these experiences as well. In other words, he's what I look for in a candidate: He knows that quality content is important. He does good work, and learns from his occasional mistakes and does not repeat them. He gets along with most people. And he has found areas where his personal interests and skills make a difference for the project as a whole. I'm happy to co-nominate Blablubbs as administrator.

====Questions for the candidate====
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:
:'''1.''' What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
::'''A:''' Most of my contributions are already in admin-y areas, with the vast majority of my time being spent at [[WP:SPI|SPI]] and [[WP:OP|Wikiproject on Open Proxies]], and I plan to stick to those areas for the foreseeable future. My work there frequently involves asking administrators to use the relevant buttons to block socks and proxies and perform case merges or G6 deletions, which I could do myself if the community chooses to entrust me with the bit. I haven't actively patrolled recent changes in the last few months and focused on SPI work instead, but I also plan to keep an eye on [[WP:AIV]], and I could see myself venturing into patrolling [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions]] and [[:Category:Requests for unblock]] at some point in the future. There are also some administrative areas where I feel that I lack the experience to be able to usefully contribute in an administrative capacity, like [[WP:AfD|AfD]] and most [[WP:CSD|CSD]]-related matters. I would only start working these areas once I have gained considerably more experience in a non-administrative capacity.

:'''2.''' What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
::'''A:''' I enjoy working on content, and I'm proud of some of the articlespace work I have done, but I think my most meaningful contributions have been made behind the scenes: Working together with {{noping|MarioGom}} to [[User:Blablubbs/VPN Verification|create technical fingerprints of most major VPN providers]] is neither particularly glamourous work for example, nor is the end result interesting or comprehensible to the average reader. But it did enable us to query and block dozens of (frequently abused) proxy ranges, and I hope that made a difference. I feel the same way about my work at SPI.

:'''3.''' Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
::'''A:''' Certainly. No specific cases immediately come to mind, but I've been heavily involved with sockpuppetry and UPE-related issues; working in either of those areas often entails interacting with combative or distressed users, and being lied to is part of the job, which can be aggravating (my SPI helper script's log has almost 2000 revisions, and and I can count on one or two hands the number of cases I have seen where a user admitted to socking and apologised for it before being blocked). They are also areas that can sometimes trigger the frustrating thought that there is an incredible amount of abuse on this website and I will never be able to do enough. I try to stay calm and step away whenever that happens; I read the paper, go outside and take a walk, moan about it to friends, ''then'' open the laptop again and type a response. I had an extended "step away for a bit" moment with regard to UPE-related matters some time ago when I noticed that they were starting to burn me out. I didn't give up on the topic area, but I shifted my focus away from actively hunting for PR firm socks and towards bouncing ideas about potential methods for making detection and tracking of complex socking operations back and forth with awesome people like {{noping|MarioGom}} and {{noping|GeneralNotability}}, with some great results.

;Optional question from [[User:John Cline|John Cline]]
:'''4.''' Regarding your userpage statement: "Nazism and similar beliefs that deny or downplay the humanity of people are inherently incompatible with a collaborative editing environment and with the goals of a neutral encyclopaedia", are you suggesting that these topics should not be covered in Wikipedia, that editors contributing to or interested in these topics are inherently incompatible with our project, or something entirely different? Please elaborate. Thank you.
::'''A:''' Something entirely different. I have previously written about far-right groups and the Holocaust myself, I think it's extremely important that we provide accurate coverage of these topics, and I am grateful that we have many skilled editors working on these articles. The statement is intended to convey that I don't believe that people who support genocidal ideologies should be welcomed as editors{{snd}}it is essentially a similar point of view to the one that is expressed in [[WP:NONAZIS]]. 

;Optional question from [[User:TheresNoTime|TheresNoTime]]
:'''5.''' Lately we've seen significant drama at [[Wikipedia_talk:Administrators'_noticeboard#Someone_settle_this_for_me...|Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]], with deeply entrenched beliefs causing significant rifts in opinion, so I'm afraid I have a ''difficult'' question for you... Is it pronounced ''A-N-I'', or ''annie''?
::'''A:''' After extended emails with my nominators where we debated weighing in on such a contentious issue, I have decided to just go ahead and say it: I'm on team Ay-Enne-Eye. All the way.

;Optional question from [[User:Djm-leighpark|Djm-leighpark]]
:'''6.''' <small>Question removed/struck by Primefac, 00:10, 5 September 2021 (UTC)</small>
::'''A:'''

;Optional question from [[User:Lomrjyo|Lomrjyo]]
:'''7.''' What are your thoughts on the possibility of getting CheckUser?
::'''A:''' Given my focus on SPI, it's certainly something I would consider somewhere down the road.  

;Optional question from [[User:WaltCip|WaltCip]]
:'''8.''' Tackling vandalism, proxy abuse and SPIs can be a thankless job. As you've outlined above, it can be stressful managing such abusive use of Wikipedia scenes. So why do it? What motivates you?
::'''A:''' The short answer is: Because most of the time, I really enjoy the work I do here, and because I think it's worthwhile. The long answer is that I've always enjoyed Wikipedia as a reader{{snd}}I learnt English at quite an early age, and that is to a large extent attributable to the fact that I realised that the English Wikipedia was far more comprehensive than dewiki, so I started looking up things in English instead, and occasionally made small contributions. Fast forward quite a few years, and I discovered recent changes patrol for myself. I wasn't in a great place in real life and didn't really have the mental bandwidth to write content, but I did feel that I was doing something useful by trying to give something back to a project I had learnt so much from. And it was a fascinating experience to me: It made me realise how fragile knowledge can be, and it was mesmerising to observe in real time which topics people from all over the world care about enough to edit war and vandalise. At some point I became interested in undisclosed paid editing, which led to interest in socking, which led to interest in proxies. I've always enjoyed investigating things, drawing connections and finding patterns, so it was sort of a natural fit. I made some great friends along the way, and work in these areas has also taught me a lot, both about technical (when I started editing, I didn't know what a [[WP:64|/64]] is, or anything about networking, really) and social matters; that's rewarding in its own right.

;Optional questions from [[User:BrxBrx|BrxBrx]]
:'''9.''' Hi Blablubbs and thank you for running. I see you are an experienced SPI hunter. In a hypothetical situation, how would you handle such an incident where you are accusing an editor of UPE, but the editor's works in question turn out not to be. In this situation, how would you balance vigilance against undisclosed paid editing, and assuming good faith (and assuming others assuming good faith)? 
::'''A:''' I'm afraid I'm struggling to parse the hypothetical{{snd}}are you referring to a scenario where I ask a user about UPE and they state that they aren't editing for pay?
:'''10.''' Unrelated question, but from your answer to q4, in particular, {{tq|intended to convey that I don't believe that people who support genocidal ideologies should be welcomed as editors}}, I'm curious how you square that with our 5 pillars - in particular pillar 3 and 4, which in my view, would suggest that it doesn't matter what crank ideology an editor may subscribe to - so long as it is kept off wikipedia, and does not impact their positive contributions to the project, they shall be allowed to contribute?
::'''A:''' I don't advocate for some sort of political purity test that people need to pass before being allowed to contribute. If support for an abhorrent ideology is in fact kept entirely off Wikipedia, then I have no way to know about it. But if those views become apparent, either through contributions or through open identification with them, our policies and guidelines are inherently being violated: If someone denies the Holocaust, then that's an NPOV issue, and potentially abuse of Wikipedia as a propaganda platform; if someone puts a statement on their userpage that says "my political beliefs align with those of the [[NSDAP]]", then that's a civility issue because they are essentially expressing support for the murder or mistreatment of a good chunk of our editor base. I don't believe much [[WP:ROPE]] should be extended in such cases. 

;Optional question from [[User:Hawkeye7|Hawkeye7]]
:'''11.''' You said the "I have previously written about far-right groups and the Holocaust". Can you tell us about these articles, and your contributions to them?
::'''A:''' I translated [[Dachau camp trial]], a [[w:de:Dachau-Hauptprozess|dewiki-GA]] that didn't exist in English, and [[Hannibal (network)]], which I later rewrote completely. I also significantly expanded [[Wolfdietrich Schnurre]], a biography about an author whose works were strongly influenced by his experiences during the Second World War and under Nazi rule. 

;Optional question from [[User:Nosebagbear|Nosebagbear]]
:'''12.''' I was aware of your NONAZIs position, but from the extra detail you've provided in this RfA I would like to ask: where do you draw the line on what might be called similar infringements (userpage support being a civility-breach)? For example, we've had no-consensus MfDs for things like the [[PKK]], and there are plenty of other polities/organisations both more and less problematic than them
::'''A:''' It's a good question, and I'm afraid I don't have a clear-cut answer. Context and specifics matter; "no nazis, period." is the only hard line I can really draw. In very general terms, I believe that people who advocate for ideologies that inherently support violence against people based on their ethnicity, disability, religious beliefs, sexuality, gender, or nationality (that's not a complete list, just the first few things that came to mind) in any namespace inherently contribute to a toxic editing environment. Regarding the specific example, I'm afraid I don't know enough about the PKK or the specific userbox to have a strong opinion on whether it should exist or not. I can say that I certainly wouldn't act without precedent and consensus which, I believe, exists for people who openly support Nazism.  
;Optional question from [[User:RZuo|RZuo]]
:'''13.''' What tool were you using, or what page were you watching, when [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Blablubbs&dir=prev&limit=500&target=Blablubbs you suddenly became active on 11 June 2020] <small>(having only 55 edits from 2014 to 2019)</small>? How did you learn about that tool or page and learn how everything works?
::'''A:''' I was bored and reading Wikipedia{{snd}}at the time, there wasn't much to do because of the pandemic{{snd}}clicked the recent changes link, played around with the filter options, saw people reverting vandalism and figured it might be an interesting thing to do, so I observed for a while, started making some reverts of my own, and learnt by watching other patrollers as I went.

# Without question - heck, I would have nominated him if he'd asked. Blablubbs has a great head on his shoulders and is both very competent and unfailingly polite when dealing with others.

# '''Strong Support''' One of my few regrets with Blablubbs is that even though any who have known him for any time have seen that he was always going to make a good admin, by the time I raised it with him I would later find out I was at least the 7th person to do so. I've helped him with a few VRT areas and he's always been excellent there, and the noms outline both his excellent personality and broad and talented skillset. I simply cannot recommend him highly enough to the Community. I would note from how he's continued to pick up at-need and difficult areas over time, that he has the propensity to become a go-to admin for not merely the array he's currently active in, but across the toolkit. !Vote support, and have him join the mopcorps.

He is ubiquitous at SPI, keeping afloat a beleaguered critical part of our anti-abuse infrastructure. He already probably does more admin-level work than most admins.

#'''Support'''. In a relatively short time Blablubbs has mastered some of the most vital but technically difficult areas of the project. Apart from his main work at SPI, I've found his comments at AfD to be very well-considered, even when the consensus goes the other way, as are the handful of closes he has made, and would have no qualms about him also working in deletion as an admn. I have no idea why he would be worried about his content record, either, which just shows a commendable focus on quality over quantity. I have no doubt he will prove just as adept with the mop, and with his SPI experience I hope he will put himself forward for CU as soon as possible. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 09:18, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

#'''Support.''' This is a clear yes. Sockhunting is important, and the admin toolset is fully appropriate in this case. The oppose rationale that [[WP:NONAZIS]] is disqualifying seems to be based on the notion that right-leaning editors will get falsely swept up in the blocking. The actual advice that I see in the essay (particularly its section on [[Wikipedia:NONAZIS#What_to_do_if_you_encounter_a_racist|what to do if you encounter a racist]]) boils down to a narrowly tailored version of report-problem-editors-that-tenditiously-edit-to-advance-their-personal-beliefs; this isn't a convincing reason to oppose. I'm not particularly motivated to deny or support someone's access to admin tools based off of whether they are an inclusionist or a deletionist, since I'm not exactly experienced in the area of deletion. All in all, {{u|Blablubbs}} looks as if {{he/she|Blablubbs}} will make the community better off if {{he/she|Blablubbs}} gets the admin toolset, so I'm all for it.  — [[User:Mikehawk10|Mikehawk10]] ([[User talk:Mikehawk10 |talk]]) 06:01, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

#'''Weak support.'''  Highly skilled and civil editor who does a vast amount of valuable work. On the other hand, I share some of the oppose concerns, especially BrxBrx & TOA.  I recall the candidate [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=1007490528 voted to permban] the good hearted moderate conservative editor BusStop. The candidate's user page says Wikipedia has a "huge impact on what the world believes". Thats correct, but not largely in the way the candidate seems to imagine. Hardline 'NoNazi' type views, amplified by Wikipedias effect on the wider media sphere, risks accelerating civilisational collapse. Two reasons why this balances only to weak support & not oppose. Several editors I've admired for years also voted to permaban BusStop, so perhaps it was warranted for reasons I'm not seeing.  And the hard-line NoNazi thing is perfectly reasonable as an individual rule, its only dangerous because its becoming the dominant view across the liberal thought bubble. So can't really blame the candidate, though may decide to indulge in a little rant on the talk page. [[User:FeydHuxtable|FeydHuxtable]] ([[User talk:FeydHuxtable|talk]]) 20:30, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

#'''Weak support'''. Not someone I was familiar with, so I had to do a bit of digging, but I think they'll be a net positive with the toolset. My support is "weak" because I would expect somebody with the same level of support at RfA as {{u|Megalibrarygirl}} and {{u|Cullen328}} to have an incredible track record of kindness, compassion and friendliness that's easy to spot. I can see evidence of good collaboration in places like [[:Template:Did you know nominations/Hannibal (network)]] where Blabubbs worked well with the very much missed Yoninah, but much of Blabubbs' activity is deleting drivel and telling trolls and spammers to "jog on". Blabubbs, I would strongly recommend you work towards being a good all-rounder, working in both content and administration. Don't spend all your time handling disruptive editors, because you ''will'' burn out and either quit or get hauled off to Arbcom on trumped-up charges. I see Ashleyyoursmile has already quit the project; don't let the same thing happen to you. :-( As [[WP:OWB|Observations on Wikipedia Behaviour]] put it: "{{xt|Trolls, banned editors, and mental defectives will try to annoy you, if you are an active contributor.

Probably not. I asked a question about this at [[meta:Requests for comment/Global IPBE guidelines]] but largely went unanswered.

#'''Reluctant Oppose''' This is a difficult !oppose for me as clearly Blablubb's has made many helpful contributions on SPI and OTRS, and generally seems to have the right personality for adminship. I would have wholeheartedly supported Blablubbs if it weren't for the answers to question 4, 10, 12 and 13, which give me reason for pause. Whilst I appreciate Blablubb's pledge to avoid "purity tests", I can't help but feel that this may be in opposition to what was answered for q 12. I fear that by even having a no-nuance position as mentioned may cause future problems in more ambiguous positions - after all Nazis aren't exactly a sympathetic bunch, but what about a future controversy over (for example), the PKK, or Azeri/Armenian disputes, etc, whereby users on one side or the other are scrutinized for any possible unrelated positions, in the event that they may fall afoul of an extended NONAZIS standard. There's also the fact that NONAZIS is not a policy or a guideline - it is an essay with limited consensus that makes having a ironclad position as expressed in the answer for 12 concerning to me - our 5 pillars seem to make it clear that as long as one keeps their unproductive beliefs off the project, they should be welcome. We welcome avowed communists, [[dominionists]], [[creationists]] and the sort on WP - all of which can be argued to be fringe (and even frankly genocidal) perspectives. Nevertheless, as long as they kept their nonsense off the project, they are welcome to edit. To use NONAZIS as policy (as Blablubbs appears to be leaning towards) without the full buy in of the community would also raise the question of what we should do about other editors with fringe, if off-wiki, perspectives. Nevertheless, it appears this RfA will pass handily - hopefully the community will be in a position to answer these concerns should they arise in the future.[[user:BrxBrx|BrxBrx]]([[user talk:BrxBrx|talk]])<sup>(please reply with <nowiki>{{SUBST:</nowiki>re|BrxBrx<nowiki>}}</nowiki>)</sup> 07:16, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
#:Thought elaboration: For q12, the lack of knowledge on the PKK and the no consensus MfD is perhaps the distillation of my concerns. While Nazis are generally accepted as awful, groups like the PKK (or for that matter, ETIM, etc) are certain to elicit similar reactions. There is considerable rhetoric in kurdish and armenian communities comparing the turkish state to the 3rd reich - and [[armenian genocide|for good reason]]. The arguments for NONAZIS could easily be applied to the Turkish state as well - yet one can only imagine the conflict doing so would result - not least as considering many muslim states consider the Armeninan Genocide and the oppression of the Kurds to be islamophobic smear jobs. If we were to take an unambigous NONAZIS stance to these disputes, what would our position even be? Blablubbs has wisely decided that this is probably not a good place to be if one wishes to be productive, and frankly I must concur. Yet if we apply NONAZIS to nazis, and throw out our 5 pillars, it will strengthen demands that we apply the same reasoning to other highly controversial contemporary culture wars/geopolitical mudflinging topics -  a path that is highly unproductive and very likely to breed resentment and a cultural civil war.

#:::I think my understanding comes from {{tq|No Nazis, Period}} - the concern I have is that this will create precedent for {{tq|No X, period}}, where X can refer to other similarly construed positions on the basis that they are credibly accused of oppressive or even genocidal natures - for instance, let X be turkicism, or communism, or hindutva, or dominionism. The problem here is that creating consensus on these will likely be unbelievably contentious. Wikipedia was blocked in Turkey, for example, for refusing to censor our armenian genocide page. Suppose in the future, a large influx of editors come demanding that we do, and apply a NONAZIS-style "policy" to, say, armenian atrocities during the breakup of the ottoman empire. Such a course of action would be nominally supported by NONAZIS, even though it'd also be a complete misreading of the historical theme. That said, I have no qualms about Blablubb's otherwise mature and uncontroversial nature, and I do believe that Blablubbs will uphold consensus, instead of seeking to undermine it.

If some anonymous Nazi can edit butterfly or asteroid articles without spewing hate, then we would have no way of detecting that. Once they rear their genuine head, any administrator can block based on hateful and divisive POV pushing.  This would be the case even if the NONAZIS essay had never been written.

#:::::I think part of the issue is that "Nazi!" (along with "fascist!" and "bigot!") has become a common-use pejorative, often against people who are demonstrably not (see enthusiasm for "punch a Nazi" in relation to Trump supporters). When words are used bluntly, and misused, but you want your use of that word to be viewed as less blunt and more nuanced, it helps to make that clear. I think the candidate did quite a good job of that on his user page, and a less good job of that here by endorsing that essay.

#::::::You're right Stalwart. The essay, while admirable in and of itself, intensifies the issue by explicitly lumping in all sorts of racists under the term Nazi. Another part of the issue is it reflects a wider trend thats been intensifying for years, to treat all sorts of socially right wing views as deplorable & bigoted, in both article & project space. Cullens also right that this would be happening regardless of the essay, it reflects wider cultural change. Unfortunately, not really reflective of society as a whole becoming more progressive. But of a cultural elite being ultra progressive in a way thats perceived as self righteous and even hateful by a wide section of the population. All that said, I doubt either you or I would disagree with the vast majority of NONAZI blocks. [[User:FeydHuxtable|FeydHuxtable]] ([[User talk:FeydHuxtable|talk]]) 08:25, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
#:::::::Exactly right. And while it seems very unlikely that this candidate will make those blocks a focus of their work, I don't want my comments (and I imagine you're the same) to be interpreted as a suggestion this candidate ''shouldn't'' do that work upon being given a mop.

#::::::::I do feel obliged to note with the civil, but fairly pile-on nature of comments above, that BrxBrx's view, while perhaps unpopular with a majority of the Community, is certainly not inherently unreasonable. As well as "it doesn't have policy backing, don't block people on even well-accepted essay grounds", which is reasonable, I mentally sit between the two viewpoints: stating you're a Nazi on your userpage indicates a position contrary to civil participation...but we should also only block people who ''actually'' attack someone/the encyclopedia. You could make both a moral and a policy-backed argument for either case, and BrxBrx's phrasing is the best of the opposes on these grounds.

#::::::::::{{ping|Vexations}} Since we have no confirmation that these souls are not merely idiots, nor any indication that they would ever actually act on their position, that's dubious to hold up. In what might well be considered a subset of idiocy, most self-declared Nazis that I run across online, or (by god thankfully) vastly more rarely in-person, indicate beliefs that don't really line up with actual Nazi beliefs (though still not anyone you'd genuinely want to know), on functionally 90% of the belief set.

#::::::::::: Thanks for engaging in such a thoughtful way Nosebagbear.   Youre way of thinking seemed to be much more common 10 or more years back. These days, I'd tend to the view that a userpage Nazi declaration is so inherently disruptive it warrants a permaban on its own, despite your good points against that. This is just based on the sense allowing such an account to roam the wiki would now provoke feelings of intense outrage in many good faith editors.  The concern some of us have with the  NONAZI essay (at least now it's gaining informal policy like weight) is more on the ambiguity dimension, on how it risks encouraging treating non Nazis like Nazis.
