Capable, consistently well-intentioned, even-tempered, even-handed, and respectful of existing consensus even when it might not be exactly what she personally would choose to do. Those are pretty much the characteristics we need in an admin. Probably a bit less broadly experienced than a typical person we make an admin, but I would completely trust her to stick to tasks and areas she understands: I've never seen her do otherwise.

the candidate should "accept" with a short statement and sign it... that timestamp is when the candidacy starts... - Jmabel ! talk 19:35, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Candidate acceptance: Thank you, Jmabel. I accept this nomination. If elected, I will do my best to help with the tasks I currently understand and feel capable of, and to learn other tasks with time. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:56, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

•  Neutral I am a bit worried about the candidate's indefinite blocks on wikitech.wikimedia.org for impersonation / abuse of multiple accounts. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 16:57, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

  That Wikitech account is not attached to the SUL account. That makes sense because, citing Wikitech, "[it] is the only wiki using the LDAP authentication backend, since a Wikitech account was actually a Wikimedia Developer Account. From a technical administration point of view, it has been a uniquely configured wiki, requiring special casing when performing infrastructure migrations and updates". So, that Auntof6 is not actually this Auntof6. Bedivere (talk) 17:02, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

  I think there might be a misunderstanding here. Probably someone else created an account to impersonate Auntof6 on Wikitech as that account in question is not attached to Auntof6's main account. I would appreciate an explanation from Auntof6 though. Jianhui67 ^T★C 17:04, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

  (Edit conflict) That's strange. I have never impersonated any other account or abused multiple accounts, but people have tried to impersonate me (possibly related to my being an admin on Simple English Wikipedia). I also don't think I've ever been on Wikitech until just now when I went (without logging in) to see what you were talking about. I see that the listing of "my" account on Wikitech is noted as "not attached"; are Wikitech accounts linked to the usual Wikimedia unified login? -- Auntof6 (talk) 17:07, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

   Support O.k., thanks for the explanations. All the best --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 17:46, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

  You might want to try contacting WMFOffice or visit wikitech:Wikitech:Rename_requests for this. Although it isn't you, it still isn't nice for "you" to be blocked for abusing multiple accounts. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 12:17, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

•  Useless bit of trivia Every successful RfA in at least the last three years has been a self-nomination. That has absolutely no bearing on this RfA; I was just surprised to see a non self-nom on this project. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 10:15, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

  Although I'll note that CptViraj's successful RfB was a non self-nom as well. Abzeronow (talk) 16:49, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
