[edit] User:PHDrillSergeant P.H. - Kyoukan, UASC

PHDrillSergeant (talk · contribs) – This is a self-nomination. PHDrillSergeant is a stickler for details, but is also flexible enough to allow trivial information. An english major, PHDrillSergeant spends his time editing documents both on Wikipedia and off. He is also the administrator of two forums and moderator of three others. He is also kind and has a very open mind, especially to new ideas. P.H. - Kyoukan, UASC 19:03, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Support

Oppose

  1. More experience is needed. Less than 100 edits right now. Please keep up the good work, try to use edit summaries more often and reapply in a few months. Carbonite | Talk 19:35, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  2. Premature ... RfA ... I do not believe in edit counts however I need proof of admin worthyness... --Cool Cat Talk 19:36, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  3. Oppose, seems to have too little experience. Talk page only consists of a welcome message, user has less than 100 contributions (according to contributions list), and doesn't use edit summaries. — JIP | Talk 19:39, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  4. Sorry, I think you need much more experience. Martin 19:59, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  5. Oppose, too little edits, too soon, etc. Sorry, there is no reason to support you what so ever. Private Butcher 20:53, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  6. Oppose. A total of 3 edit summaries so far. Can we close this before it becomes a pile-on? Owen× ☎ 21:00, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
  7. Oppose, everything that needs to be said has already been said. Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 00:23, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

No vote

  1. Oppose but no vote to avoid pile on per oppose votes above, can we stop this RfA? NSLE (讨论) \<extra> 00:25, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Administrative and moderator duties on forums are much more different from the things you do on Wikipedia. Just as on forums, you have to prove yourself here before becoming of a higher power. x42bn6 Talk 01:25, 14 November 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. As an administrator of some other forums, I often scan through posts (in this case, articles) and try to remove irrelevant information. Because WIkipedia is supposed to be just like other online enyclopedias, the organization and relevancy of provided information is a HIGH priority. In order for users to get the most out of Wikipedia's articles, they must be organized, informative, and easy to understand.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I am particularly pleased of my work on the page Code: Lyoko. In my work there, I have reorganized many parts and removed useless and repetitive information (as well as moving much of these trivial pieces of information to the newly-created 'trivia' section). This page is now well-organized (most of the time), and I am pleased to say that I, with the definite help of Wikipedian Someguy0830, have been able to make this page useful to people who wish to learn more about the show. Sure, it's an article about a TV show, but it's one more article that is helpful.
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 have been in a few struggles with some people over whether some information was relevant or not on the Code: Lyoko page. The solution that was reached was to alow the information to stay in the article--but in its own 'trivia' section (see above). I also believe that if more compromises are reached, then Wikipedia would be more peaceful--if we could stop seeing information in right or wrong, but instead as relevant according to each person's perspective.
As for stress, yes, I have been stressed sometimes. But when people work together, it does occasionally get stressful. However, the fact that every person has their own opinion is a good thing for everyone. Without conflicting opinions every once in a while, where's the fun of working together?
