Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Administrator/Diego Grez 5


 * Unanimous support; noting there's no set time to run these for I see little point dragging it out any longer. Congratulations, and welcome to the team! Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 19:27, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Diego - who has accepted this nom via IRC - has, I believe, been working hard and to a high standard for quite some time now. He's had a few noms in the past, but the time has now come where I'm delighted to nom this user for the mop. We all trust Diego by now.

 * I accept ;-) --Diego Grez return fire 19:07, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Comments

 * - Your contributions to Wikinews have been positive and the community respects and appreciates your work on this project. However, can you please explain your Block log on English Wikipedia ? Thank you, -- Cirt (talk) 19:07, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not something I like to remember. My early months on Wikipedia were really problematic, not only there but on es.wiki. I behaved very childishly, and I ended annoying the admins on Wikipedia. I think I have matured enough, not only here on Wikinews, that has been my real home on Wikimedia, but on my real life. For a reason I'm not blocked anymore on the English Wikipedia ;-) (Don't ask me about Spanish Wikipedia, they still hate me <.<). Diego Grez return fire 19:12, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, note that the very same person who blocked me for ten years on Wikipedia nominated me for adminship here. --Diego Grez return fire 19:16, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, thank you for the response. -- Cirt (talk) 19:39, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed; and, in my capacity as enwp blocking admin, I supported Diego's request to have the block lifted. I'm happy to admit I kept a close eye on Diego when he arrived on enwn after that block, but it quickly became clear that wasn't needed.

 * I think he's definitely waited long enough. Bawolff ☺☻ 17:54, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Trustworthy user, very much admired his Chile earthquake reports and photos, and more recently his dispatches on the 200th bicentennial of the country. Certainly worthy of the mop.  Wackywace dictaphone 17:56, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
