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 would help out with getting things working, such as bots, and I would also help cleanup around the place, I also know how to use the mediawiki software with adminship, as I started a wiki once before.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A:Oh, I sometimes look at an article and just think, wow, this looks like it was professionally made by a small business, not by a mass of users collaborating to put it together. All the pages with template boxes make me happy.
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: Oh I've had angry vandals after me, especially back in the days when I was VandalKilla. I would deal with them kindly, and assume good faith untill they make a blatant attack.

Support
Oppose

  2. Strong Oppose- Just the other day, he nominated Randy Shughart for speedy deletion as "NN-bio". The article had been vandalized to little more than a stub, but it shows that he did not take the time to check the page history before nominating, nor did he do any research to see whether Randy Shughart was indeed a non-notable biography (Shughart was, in fact, a Medal of Honor winner, and one of the main participants in the events of the film Blackhawk Down, and is a highly notable figure in modern US military history). Carelessness like this shows me that the user is not ready for more powerful tools. ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 08:29, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
  3. Oppose Far too few edits & answers don't reveal any requirement for admin tools. They raise questions instead - you had a prior/alternative account? Details? You have VandalProof according to your Talk page but you don't/didn't issue vandal warnings. This is a major omission on the part of any vandal fighter, let alone an admin. I suggest that you withdraw, get an editor review and work on the weakeness that this review will reveal before trying again in three or four months' time or ~3000 edits.

  4. Oppose Too few edits, and I don't think that you are ready for/don't understand what admins do. I think a Bcrat should close this early before it gets piled on. Dinosaur puppy 09:52, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
  5. Oppose. A good editor who needs some more experience (in terms of time, number of edits, and participation in the Wikipedia space) before adminship can be seriously considered. Zaxem 10:12, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Neutral
  1. Nice guy, but this is too early. Suggest withdrawal. -- Samir धर्म 10:26, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
