[edit] 9cds

Final (1/6/5) ending 00:49, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

9cds (talk · contribs) – I've been attacking quite a lot of vandalism on Wikipedia, and I've also peeped my head around the AfD door from time to time (and also put up a couple of pages myself). I think that having Adminship would make fighting vandalism easier, and I also would like to be able to help any other users that may need it. 9cds 15:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: How very nice of myself to nominate myself :) I accept. 9cds 15:50, 20 December 2005 (UTC) The general feeling is that I'm inexperienced, which is a fair issue. Therefore, I'm going to follow Freestylefrappe's advice and withdraw. 9cds 00:49, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Support

  1. Support; too many vandals, not enough admins. Why not? Matt Yeager 04:51, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Oppose, lack of experience with policy and process. Radiant_>|< 00:08, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  2. Oppose Lack of wiki namespace edits. --Jaranda wat's sup 00:16, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  3. Oppose. Does not meet my experience criterias regarding User Talk, Categories, Wikipedia. xaosflux Talk/CVU 01:19, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  4. Oppose. As stated above, I don't think this user has enough experience. As an admin, you need to have come across all kinds of things in the past so you know what the policy is to deal with it. JHMM13 (T | C) 05:20, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  5. Oppose. Only 615 edits in total, and only 400 in the Article namespace. User needs more experience. — Wackymacs 22:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  6. Oppose I suggest the candidate withdraws and reapplies when his editcount is around 2000. freestylefrappe 00:16, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. Neutral: Doesn't seem like a bad editor, but seems to lack experience as evidenced by the mistake or two on formatting his RfA (which I fixed). I don't have any grounds to oppose, but I can't support without more experience. You're on the right path, though. Try again in a couple months. —BorgHunter (talk) 16:05, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  2. Neutral: Good editor, but you need more experience. Use of warning templates and warning vandals in general is rather lacking. You also seem to have no experience being on the receiving end of personal attacks, which is something you will eventually have to deal with as a admin. I'll gladly support you in a few months though. -- Megamix? 16:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  3. Neutral. Given some more time and experience, I will support. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 00:17, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  4. Neutral for above reasons. --King of All the Franks 05:22, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  5. Neutral. Get more experience, try again later. ナイトスタリオン ✉ 07:08, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
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 read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A. The main task I'll continue doing will be fighting vandalism, since I think this is a very important task, whether user or admin. I'd also keep an eye on AfD, and perhaps help out mopping the place up. I'll also keep an eye out for people who might need help, in the request for attention page.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Well, I'm pleased at the support I got in starting up the Wikipedia: WikiProject British TV shows. I'm also smiling inside when I see the growing list of Swedish translations I'm managing to do, and my work in the Lancaster University college pages (of which half weren't there before I came along).
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. Apart from the usual reverting vandalism every 10 seconds, I guess the only "conflict" I have came across is over in the Top Gear page where I was moaned at on the talk page for having a hidden comment that unintentionally invited spammers. Whoops :) I think I coped fairly well with it.
