•  Support Does a good job as admin and on or two more Checkusers would be good. Especially the basic understanding of Hindi could be useful. --GPSLeo (talk) 12:11, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

•  Neutral Don't get me wrong; you're obviously a hardworking and active admin, and ultimately I wouldn't mind you getting the CU tools. However, the lack of support from a current CU, as well as the fact that the CU team doesn't seem to think that more CUs are needed right now prevents me from giving you my full support. I find it more important that the CUs are comfortable and trust the new addition to the team. I also find the lacking amount of blocks on sockpuppets concerning, but that's not a deal breaker for me. Krd is right that CU does not have a backlog, as the RfCUs do seem to be processed fast enough. CU also doesn't have anything which requires work to be done as soon as possible. If you applied for oversighter instead, as Minorax suggested below, I would definitely support you, as your UTC+05:30 timezone as well as your VRT experience would be a good addition there. --pandakekok9 08:15, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
•  Support. Good answers to the specific questions about CU tool use. Clear track record as an admin. Clear demonstration of polite handling of issues on talk page. Bibeyjj (talk) 19:44, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

How many VRTS tickets have you processed in the last 12 months? --Krd 06:47, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Krd: thank you for your question. My VRTS access was removed for inactivity on March 8th 2021 and was reinstated in August 2021. From August till now I have handled a few tickets, in fact I plan to give-up my VRTS access if this goes through as I will not be able to devote enough time there. --- FitIndia ^{Talk ✉} 07:13, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

If you say that you dot not have the time do work on VRTS why do you think that you have time to do the Checkuser job? Or do you just want so switch priorities? --GPSLeo (talk) 09:11, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

@GPSLeo: If you see my past 2 years history as an admin I have tried to give my best to the community and activity wise I have always been in the top 5 most active admins. As for VRTS I would like to resign from there if I am given CU rights as I could not do justice to both. --- FitIndia ^{Talk ✉} 11:14, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Ok, just wanted to ask. --GPSLeo (talk) 12:11, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

in your opinion, is suspicion of a user using multiple accounts a sufficient condition for checking that user?--RZuo (talk) 15:23, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

@RZuo: Thank you for your question. Having multiple accounts (preferable declared) which are not being used for vote rigging or vandalism are fine and I would not run a check on them randomly unless I have got a request on Commons:Requests for checkuser that these accounts are being used for vote rigging, vandalism, spamming or just trying to push a narrative then I might consider this if there is enough proof provided for the same. In a nutshell I would not randomly run CU on a account. --- FitIndia ^{Talk ✉} 16:28, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Are you familiar with the workings of IPs, IP ranges, and related principles? -- CptViraj (talk) 16:26, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

@CptViraj Thank you for your question. Yes I am familiar with the workings of IP ranges. - FitIndia ^{Talk ✉} 17:27, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Some old question: what is the meaning and when to use these templates: {{8ball}}, {{Crystalball}} and {{Pixiedust}}? Stang^★ 07:21, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

@Stang Thank you for your question, sorry for the late reply was not home. Basically When you are not sure, when you cant predict and when you cant be asked to link accounts magically. - FitIndia ^{Talk ✉} 13:19, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

What inspired you making this nomination and what will you bring to the CU team? 1989 (talk) 13:29, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

@1989 Thank you for your question. For the first part to your question, I have always wanted to help out the community as best as possible even with my admin work I have tried my best to silently go about my work and this is what I would like to do as a CU too. As for what I can bring to the CU team is another active pair of fresh eyes that would probably lighten the work load at Commons:Requests for checkuser. - FitIndia ^{Talk ✉} 14:18, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Do you see any actual problem with the work load? Is has been pointed out several times in the vote section that Commons needs more CUs, but I doubt there can be shown any example from the recent few years where CU request were not processed in a reasonable time. Am I mistaken? --Krd 17:31, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

@Krd I have always been of the opinion that we need more admins as more competent/trusted hands/eyes can only help the community. As for CUs I feel the same. If you have a look at Commons:Checkusers/Statistics 1 CU is handling 10 to 30 times the requests then the others in the past 6 months. At present about 40 admins on Commons are handling 90% of the requests but I still feel we need more active admins as the work load can be shared and they are less chances for mistakes. Also if you look at Commons:Checkusers/Archive in 2013 two CUs were added as the CU that proposed both editors mentions that It is helpful to us to be able to consult with one or two other CUs on difficult cases. About tickets being handled in time in my humble opinion a few more CUs will improve the clearing time. Unless there is a rule or a reason to cap the amount of CUs on a project I dont see the harm in adding a few more CUs. I think if you could trust someone with the admin tool which is way more destructive. I honestly have applied for CU rights to help out as best as possible and would love to have consensus on the request. I thank everyone again who have taken the time out to have a look at my request. - FitIndia ^{Talk ✉} 19:13, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Admin tasks have a backlog, and will always have. VRT task have a backlog, and will always have. CU does not have a backlog, and did not have in the relevant past. The fact that currently one CU does most of the work does not say the rest of the team is not available, or there is no consultation behind the scenes. If you say you want to bring some new ideas or new aspects of work into the team, I may be fine with that. Please feel free to elaborate. I just want to point out here that the so far stated assumptions and conclusions are, IMHO, all wrong. No offense. --Krd 22:37, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

A website with the amount of traffic like Commons needs more than 4 CUs. I would find reasonable to have 8 CUs here. Regards, Yann (talk) 21:47, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

IMO, there should be more oversighters as the stuff they handle shouldn't have a long wait time. Just sayin' --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 03:48, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
