[edit] mbralchenko

Final: (0/1/0); Ended 21:13, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

mbralchenko (talk • contribs) - Mbralchenko is online since about January 2006. He does a lot of RC and new page Patrol. He was adminship because in basic edit disputes with vandals, he cannot block them. He also feels annoyed when he has to tag pages for deletions. He sees pages that any sysop will delete on sight.Mbralchenko 20:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

I accept. Never mind, I withdraw, it is true, my edit count is still pretty weak. I'll give it a couple more months. Mbralchenko 20:43, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

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 participants:

1. What sysop chores do 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:

As said in my description, I am an RC and New Page partoller. I run so often into articles that need to be deleted on sight. Since I'm not a sysop yet, I need to tag the article, then post on talk pages. As for RC patrol, I run into vandals that don't give up. I'm stuck reverting a couple times in a row, then post so a sysop will block him/her etc. I'd like to be able to block and delete myself, too. Wikipedia will be a better and more effecient place. If people have other tasks for me, I can always do them, as well. I want to be a sysop as something as an extra tool when fighting "WIkiCrime".

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

A:

I'm most pleased when a complete, useless, senseless page is deleted by another sysop on my request/tag. Poor articles that don't comply with any Wikipedia policy except maybe sometimes but non always being in ENGLISH really get on my nerves.

3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

A:

As I told before, I'm in a conflict every other day with an anonymous I.P. adress. I always am very polite and ask them to stop, but that doesn't always work. Then, I'm forced to report, do this, do that to stop the vandal; I'd rather be able to do that myself. I can resolve confilcts very well and fairly, and if I become a sysop, I'd be more effecient when cleaning Wikipedia.

Oppose

Please keep criticism constructive and polite.

1. Oppose. Too little activity (only ~285 overall edits) & command of the English language is not up to admin standards. Scobell302 20:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
