Fredg999 for bureaucrat (Oct 2025)

Voting is open for 1 week after the 3rd vote has been cast. Voting is now closed.

Please place any future elections above this one, so that the most recent ones are always on top.

Nomination

I would like to nominate User:Fredg999 for bureaucrat (he is already an admin currently). The wiki currently has very few active bureaucrats and I think it's a good idea to have at least one more.

I'll keep it brief. Fredg999 has a track record of good edits, mostly focused on improving the general quality and usability of the wiki. More importantly though, he has shown himself to be a very level-headed person who is good at conflict resolution.

Comments

The one and only problem I see so far is that if we don't have enough bureaucrats, Fred could be overloaded- especially since he seems to be so busy as is- so we need to nominate at least one to two more bureaucrats. --Aura (talk) 05:29, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi Aura,

This is a fair concern; I think promoting Fred is the best first step for addressing it.

Once Fred is promoted, there will be 3 active bureaucrats instead of 2: Tyler, FloraC and Fred.

If someone else were to become a bureaucrat, it would probably make sense for them to be a regular admin for a year or so first (as was the case with Flora and Fred).

Here is the list of current admins: Xenharmonic Wiki:Administrators#Current administrators. On that list, aside from Fred, I don't see anyone who is both active enough and non-controversial enough to be an ideal candidate for bureaucrat.

As such, I think it might make some sense to nominate more new admins; and maybe a year or two down the line if things are going well, they might be nominated as full bureaucrats.

I think that any of:

Ganaram Inukshuk
Bcmills
Sintel
Gordon Wery
Xenoindex

(alphabetical order by surname)

would be good choices (only if they themselves were okay with being nominated though of course; we'd need to ask them individually first).

Are there any of those suggestions you agree or disagree with? Any other names you think it might be a good idea to nominate?

For some reason, I thought that Admin was above Bureaucrat, but it seems I was mistaken. Anyhow, of that list you propose, the two that really come to mind are Xenoindex and Bcmills. --Aura (talk) 01:59, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

In addition, I would think that Ganaram Inukshuk and Sintel would make good admins. --Aura (talk) 02:06, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Bureaucrats are important but the job itself is not very demanding. For reference, the whole of English Wikipedia only has 16 active bureaucrats currently (see [[1]]). – Sintel🎏 (talk) 18:48, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Result

Fredg999 is elected a bureaucrat following overwhelmingly positive community reactions. —FloraC (talk) 08:16, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
