Hello! I'm Alachuckthebuck, A license reviewer and antivandalism user. I've been helping out at FILTERT and assisting when I can, but have been running into issues where neither Jeff G or myself can see the filter entries due to private filters. In addition to the visibility issue, a large amount of our filters need to be rewritten for temporary accounts, and I want to help start that effort. In addition, I'm planning on helping at RFR, mainly with autopatrol, patroller, and rollback, as those are the areas I'm familiar with. I also intend to continue closing LR requests. In addition, I also run Chuckbot, the mass rollback bot used to clean up FlickrReviewer2's bugged reviews in January. All feedback is appreciated. If you have left feedback on my talk page, I've read it, and tried my best to implement it.

I'm familiar with commons policies and have a general knowlege of global copyright, and a very good knowlege of US/UK copyright, and will consult with other admins on any action I'm nor 100% sure on. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 18:05, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Active contributor, understands licensing and good with fighting vandalism and sockpuppetry. And, we still need more admins. Bastique ^{☎ let's talk!} 18:36, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral for now- looks like a great editor from what I have seen in their contributions; going to read more of their contributions to check if there are any issues, but very much leaning support for now. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 18:43, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak oppose per Bedivere- Chuck's a great editor who can become a great admin once they show improvements. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 10:26, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I've found Chuck to be too eager to jump in and help, even when they're out of their depth. They don't know what they don't know, and that means that they have a tendency to confidently give incorrect advice. When they're reporting an issue, it's generally a good report (though there are exceptions). However, when they are responding to other people's questions or jumping into ongoing discussions, it's a dice roll whether their participation is a net positive or a net negative. Knowing the limits of your expertise, and when to leave an issue to other people better prepared to deal with it, is a vital skill for anyone that wants to work in deletions that Chuck still needs to develop.

@The Squirrel Conspiracy: Could you provide some examples where Alachuckthebuck has jumped in unhelpfully in your opinion? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:46, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Elli (talk) 22:07, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose I'm of the same opinion of TSC. It's not a great deal, though, as I think they can still show some improvements and renominate themselves or have someone reapply you in some more months. --Bedivere (talk) 01:14, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support Is Chuck perfect? No. Is anyone perfect? Emphatically not. It is always a good idea to be careful when diving into new areas, but I fully trust Chuck to be careful when diving into the role of mopping. Best, HouseBlaster (talk) 02:18, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose.--RoyZuo (talk) 07:32, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Per Bedivere. Alachuckthebuck generally seems like a nice person. They can sometimes make less then helpful contributions to conversations though. I fully support them becoming an admin if, or when, they improve on it though. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:44, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This editor needs a lot more work to be an admin. Not even a year ago, they marked a picture I took of a known figure with my own camera as copyrighted. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 07:47, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm gonna have to go with a weak not yet per Bedivere, though I do think this is easily fixable if things change by the end of this year. --SHB2000 (talk) 11:40, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, I think that Chuck should gain more experience about adminship. In my opinion Chuck’s adminship request is early. After gaining experience and working more, I will support Chuck’s adminship. --Kadı Message 11:43, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My impression is that this user needs more experience before they can be trusted with admin bit. (Before you ask: sorry, I am not allowed to disclose how I got the "impression".) — regards, Revi 11:54, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Revi C., Can you please email me privately about this "impression"? All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 17:31, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Right now, the answer have to be no, but I think I'll be able to do that by end of next week. (Tentative; no guarantee) — regards, Revi 18:58, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain the block in 2024? JuxtaposedJacob (talk) | :) | he/him | 20:14, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My block was a 3 day edit warring block over a speedy notice on a Vogue Taiwan image. That block was 100% my fault, and I should have just put a DR notice rather than reverting it. Here's the relevant thread regarding the block and my response. I'm happy to answer any further questions or clarify any other points or details about the block.
