Comments

  • I nominated myself once long ago when I was much newer. I was inspired by the "this should not be a big deal" and the requirements of good faith and support of the ideals of WP. I thought, "hey" I meet all that -- so I put my hat in the ring. It immediately became clear that this is much stricter process to get through than I had realized and that I would have to have more "meat on my bones" in order to get through with at least some left once I was done getting stripped down. So, I quickly removed my former self-nomination thinking I would see how it went at some point in the future. It is now that point. Qaz (talk) 05:13, 9 October 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. I would like sysop so that I can more easily deal with the vandalization of pages, be able to delete pages that require it when someone duly request it for the right reasons, and of course for the worldwide fame and respect I see bestowed upon Wikipedian admins at exclusive social events.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I am most pleased when I am able to start a new article that we need or when I am able to help others get past something they are stuck with.
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. Recently I was helping to fix the many vanalistic edits of what appeared to be a WOW incarnation. Not fun. I contacted others on user pages to get help dealing with the user. Also, I was in a debate a long time ago over what should happen to the article at Deaf but I think we were able to work it out on the talk page with only minor breaks of comity.
