[edit] R.Koot

final (76/0/0) ending 19:15, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

R.Koot (talk · contribs) – Ruud has been on Wikipedia since January 2005, and active since May 2005. Ruud has a good chunk of contributions spread well among the namespaces, contributed to two requests for arbitration (1, 2; evidence and involved party respectively), and is a nice guy always seeking consensus. I believe Ruud can be well-trusted to use the admin tools for the good of Wikipedia. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 18:13, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept. —Ruud 19:15, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

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, 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. I am an active participant in Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science so I will be happy to carry out any admin task required there, such as renaming pages or merging page histories. I am also quite fond of WP:PROD, I think it really shows how good technology can help to increase the efficiency of the Wikipedia process. I have already signed up to monitor it and will also help to close uncontested deletions if I am elected as an admin. I like digging through page histories, so I think I will be helping out at WP:ANI/3RR.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I haven't written any long articles yet, but see Jump search for a shorter one and Zeller's congruence and Stooge sort#Implementation for some nice pseudocode.
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. The Carl Hewitt affair and upcomming exams caused some extreme WikiStress for me, which I solved in this case by taking a WikiBreak and mostly ignoring him after I returned. Recently I have been in conflict with User:Dzonatas over the computer science article, after four talk page archives of disussion and a lot of pointless reverting, we both managed to compomise thanks to mediation by User:Evanx and User:Sdedeo.
