People Powered (talk contribs) Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible for me to become an admin by December, and what i'd have to do in order to do that if i'm not on the right track. People Powered 04:19, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Great user, so willing to learn. I'm very impressed. More thorough review on your talkpage, as you already know. I think you will make a good admin... when the time comes. — riana_dzasta wreak havoc-damage report 05:46, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Hello there, People Powered. Since you have asked directly, giving an exact date, I will tell you my opinion. You have been contributing since last August. Note that many editors request a good amount of months of continous participation. So far, you have been active just over two months, so if you continue actively working until December, that should not be an issue. Regarding your edits, you have participated in 13 AFD discussions since you joined, and you have done 21 edits in 15 different RFAs. You have done no reports to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, and around 50 or so edits in the Wikipedia namespace in total (may be off, since essjay's tool is down). While you have good things (as Riana dzasta said, you are willing to learn), your edit summary usage is very good, and you are willing to learn, the amount of interaction you have had with others is pretty low. In example, you have done only 7 edits in article talk pages. I consider this serious, since you are supposed to interact with other users through article talk pages in order to improve articles. Also, you have done around 50 edits in user talk pages. As an administrator you will have to deal with a lot of people, and experience in contacting them, how to treat them, etc, is indicated through the amount of times you have talked with others. This talk is strange, as a future administrator you should keep your head as cool as possible. Good to see you quickly rectified that. This incident, along with the low amount of edits in article talk pages, make me think you may learn something by reading about the ownership of articles. In all, you are a good editor who is learning his way through Wikipedia. However, I think December may be too early still to nominate yourself for adminship. You need to spend more time talking with other users, cooperatively working with other users to improve articles, and at the Wikipedia namespace with XFD (templates, categories and articles for deletion), requests for adminship, etc. Also, administrators are expected to fight vandalism, so you may consider the recent changes patrol in order to work with other people reverting vandalism, reporting vandals who are not willing to stop, and learning to recognize different types of vandalism. Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 04:00, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    Answer New Hampshire State House of Representatives Election, 2006, I put alot of work into those tables, i'm still trying to figure out how to make it more managable and editable.
  2. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
    Answer Not particularly, there was an RFA once where I disagreed with Cyde, but otherwise, I don't take many things on Wikipedia that deeply to heart, so there isn't alot of stress.
