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 be happy to try to help with unblocking (only if the unblokee has a VERY good reason), I would help new users, and, whenever possible, I would handle rule enforcement.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I would say that my user page is one of my favorite pages, as it is a good place to express my feelings. Also, where else would I put "personal" information. My other favorite pages would be the one on crickets, and possibly the town pump.
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 believe that the blocking of one of the IP addresses has caused me stress. Once I get there, I will be putting a discussion of the pros and cons of the block on my T-Page.

Support

Oppose

  1. Strong Oppose You have fewer than 20 edits, and only three to Wikipedia articles. There is no way for me to support you getting access to the tools with this miniscule an edit history. I would need to see at least 2500 edits to get a good feel for whether you could be trusted with the tools. Your answers show no understanding of policy (which rules would you enforce) and mention actions that do not require the admin tools to perform. Please withdraw. Gwernol 02:33, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
    Changed to Strong oppose from oppose due to this edit which is entirely inappropriate and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what a Wikipedia article is for. Gwernol 02:37, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  2. Oppose per Gwernol. Absolutely no way you could be familiar with Wikipedia policy at this stage. I suggest withdrawal. Also, please sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~). Grandmasterka 02:47, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  3. Strong Oppose per experience. G.He 03:11, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  4. Oppose Please read Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship. I suggest withdrawal.--Húsönd 03:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  5. Strong oppose and urge withdrawl per Gwernol. --CFIF ☎ ⋐ 03:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
