Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

I accept the nomination for Wikipedia administrator.

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog and Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.

A: I would do any and all things I can do to help make Wikipedia a better place, free of conflict and disagreements.

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A: I have spent hours creating pages to detail La Toya Jackson's discography. I successfully created pages for every album and single released by her. I have also contributed many images to Wikipedia, and have contributed tons of valuable information, especially on the Birth certificate and Vivian Gaither High School articles.

3. 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?

A: I have had conflicts over editing in the past and I have dealt with it by requesting a mediation, which never happened. As an administrator, I will help conflicts by offering my third-party opinion and helping to steer things in the write direction. As a trained conflict mediator in Hillsborough County, Florida, I believe that I am excellent at handling conflicts.

In response to aeropagicita's comment, I am a trained mediator under commission for the School District of Hillsborough County. This is not statement of personal belief, but a legal fact.

Discussion

Support

1. Sympathetic Support Spend a several more month gaining experience and acclumating yourself to the policies of Wikipedia. But seriously, please withdraw.-- danntm ^T _C 20:56, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Regretful Oppose I am sure you have good intentions, but I think you need to spend a few more months at Wikipedia, I think you need to socialize and do so good article writing, and you'll be a great admin. Get back to the grindstone, Highway ^Daytrippers 18:47, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
2. Oppose, attacking other users via their user page [1], which is why I believe you were blocked.--Andeh 18:48, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
3. Oppose Sorry, but as recently at September 5th. I had cause to warn this user for removing an AfD notice from an article [2]. This shows a lack of knowledge of Wikipedia policy and a basic lack of respect for Wikipedia's community consensus process. This candidate would not make a good admin. Gwernol 18:59, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
4. Oppose Apart from the above, Rhythmnation2004 has very little experience in the project space, which is a must for administrators. This should probably be removed per WP:SNOW after another few opposes, if not sooner. Picaroon9288 19:05, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
5. Oppose. User does not show a specific need for admin tools. Also I don't like the fact they don't seem to have full knowledge of the rules. Sorry. --Alex ^(talk) 19:07, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
6. Oppose per lack of experience. Michael 19:18, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
7. Oppose Poorly-constructed RfA doesn't reveal a requirement for admin tools. Which specific admin processes would you participate in? Can you provide diffs for edit conflicts? Evidence is also required for mediation skills, a statement of personal belief is not enough. Opposing due to a) low edit count (622) b) low user Talk edits (14) c) ignorance of Policy [3] d) lack of participation in Wikiproject spaces e) no vandalfighting experience. Withdraw this RfA, get an editor review, work on participation in Wikiprojects and interacting with other editors and come back again in three months/~3000 edits.
