[edit] Grm wnr

final (23/1/0) ending 18:58 18 June 2005 (UTC) Grm wnr/Grammy is an active editor who joined Wikipedia in March 2004. Since creating an account Grammy has made over 6,000 edits, and played a key part in the organisation of WikiProject Stub Sorting. I thought that he was an admin when I first joined and maintained that view until recently. Grammy is, overall, a good user who I think could make a good administrator.

15. Support By making the stubs more specific, User:Grm_wnr makes it easier for people to find articles/projects that suit their particular areas of interest and expertise. A daunting and worthy project and well-carried out. Schissel : bowl listen 16:21, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

1. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 07:33, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

   Because Boothy443 has opposed every adminship request on this page without reason, I have left him a polite comment/suggestion on his user talk page that he either provide reasons for his opposition or withdraw his votes. Flcelloguy Give me a note! Desk 21:28, 16 Jun 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 read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)

A. Probably clearing out the backlog of a few *fD pages at first. I'd also spend more time on RC and NP patrol than I do now.

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

A. The best articles I've written are Vision mixer and Funkstörung, but what I'm most proud of was the subdivision of {{music-stub}} into subcategories. That was a lot of work.

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. 2 days ago I would have said "none at all" but recently I made a quite bold edit to Wikipedia:Template messages/Stubs, cutting it down significantly. That seemed to annoy a few people (see Wikipedia talk:Template messages/Stubs; the page itself is a redirect now). Not a "conflict" per se because there was no fighting, but since it's so fresh it deserves a mention here. I apologized for being too bold, but I stand by my edit. The issue seems to be resolved now.
