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 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: I would edit Avatar and any things on the Backlog that I see need something happening to. Also, I would try and help out starting people off with an extra special welcome.

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

A: I am really pleased with the Avatar the last airbender episode list and I hope to be able to help out on a lot of more pages which only admins can work on.

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: I haven't yet, but I am ready for it, and will deal with it.

4. If you are asked as an admin to delete or revise or anything to a page that regualar people cannot what would you do?

A: I would get onto it right away. I would only delay if I am needed for a sudden emergency, that is it.

5. You made some mistakes in the past, made pages that got deleted, don't you think that might mess you up?

A: I know, but if I am made in to admin then I would stop making them, actually I will stop whether or not I am made into an admin.

6. Can you name at least one circumstance where it would be inappropriate to semi-protect an article?

A: I wouldn't semi-protect when there is a content dispute. Semi-page protection should be only used to interrupt vandalism in progress by multiple IPs and should be a short-term solution, not for other stuff. If there was a full on content dispute that involved an anon and had become disruptive to the point where protection was warrented I would protect the page.

Support

Oppose

1. Oppose per lack of edits, experience, etc. Feel free to try after you amass WAY more edits. --Wizardman 22:36, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
2. Oppose. It's good that you learned from your mistakes, but I feel you still need a lot more experience on Wikipedia. You've been here for a mere 10 days, far short of what I would expect in an admin candidate. Read Wikipedia policies, get involved in WikiProjects, continue editing the encyclopedia and maybe after you have a few thousand edits and months of experience under your belt, you can consider RfA again.
