[edit] Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: Any that I have exposure to. I hear a lot about the lack of admins and figured, with my history, I should help.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: The Heroes articles for eliminating fan cruft and stepping in to protect articles that need it.
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: The two occasions I've really stressed over were the gutting of a significant section of the Strange Days article and the use/abuse of Categories in The Haitian's article. In one I was forced to ask for a third opinion and the other was presented until the consensus became obvious and I backed down.

    1. Oppose. I don't see anything wrong, but he is very inexperienced. Usually a user needs some more time. Mitch32contribs 20:45, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
    2. Oppose. Looks like the user does good work, but I think more experience is necessary. Demonstrating good knowledge and application of Wikipedia policies and guidelines is key, and with only ~500 mainspace edits, I think more time to do this is necessary.

    3. Oppose - needs a few more edits. Insufficient answers to questions. — Rudget contributions 20:59, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
    4. Oppose - only around 500 mainspace edits and twenty-five project space edits. You need more experience before you can get the tools. Sorry! —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 21:07, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
    5. Oppose - Not enough experience. Answers do not reflect understanding of what admins do. Lara❤Love 21:09, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
