[edit] Wjmummert

(withdrawn by candidate 12:08, 14 April 2008 (UTC) Wjmummert (talk · contribs) - I would like to nominate myself to be an administrator here on Wikipedia. Wikipedia has become a big part of my life and I enjoy editing and adding to the content here. I have shown my willingness to add to the site by creating pages and adding to existing pages. I believe that not all information, whether sourced by a reliable source or not, is valuable, and realize that most editors put in hard work when they add to this medium. That said, reliable sourcing is important, but when a revision is done, or a deletion, or when I would undo someones work, I would give advice and/or a reason for the action taken. I believe that organization of an article is important, and I would commit myself to organizing articles here. While I may be a bit stubborned, I view that as an asset and will fight for what and for whom I believe in. I am an Internet Manager by day so I am always by the computer and always ready to help. Thanks so much for your consideration and I look forward to the discussion ahead. Wjmummert (talk) 21:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept this nomination, and I thank myself for my nomination.... as usual, I have my own back! (withdrawn by candidate before transclusion)

[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: Sorucing of information, correction of grammar, flow and readability, as well as organization of articles would be my primary strengths. Other than that, I would look forward to helping the "little guys" and being a voice for them if need be. My strongest interests are Theology, Sports, and Astronomy, as well as some history.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: Organization of the Chicago Cubs page.... It was a disfunctional mess in July of 2007, unorganized and sloppy. Now it has a flow that is very readable, and it is much shorter while still adding more relavent and interesting information. This is thanks mostly to me, though others have helped as well.
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: I think that anytime youre here as much as me, you cant avoid it. I do not get stressed out, but lately I have tried to get admins involved to take care of issues. I am not perfect, I have lashed out, (just today in fact) but that is why I am requesting this nomination. I know I am right, and it seems that nobody will listen. I want to be the one to listen.

[edit] Support

[edit] Oppose
  1. Strong Oppose: This user is only after adminship to circumvent my edits on the Chicago Cubs page. Has no sense of WP:OR, WP:PEACOCK, or WP:NPOV, let alone what counts as a reliable source, or as "general knowledge". Cannot approach a subject without bias and emotion. See my talk page for a nice little note he left me during an argument over his edits. Deleted warning about said personal attack here Tool2Die4 (talk) 01:06, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
    Having this user oppose is a given.... totally expected. His support or lack of such is moot. In fact, if you check out his talk page you will see that I tried very hard to make nice with him. He likes to provoke... (look at his history).... I'm done reacting to him. Wjmummert (talk) 00:22, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

  2. Oppose None of the reasons this user gave for wanting to be an admin requires an admin tool. (1 == 2)Until 00:20, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  3. Oppose - Too soon. Under 1400 mainspace edits. Hang around for a while, and then get someone to nominate you. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) (talk / cont) 00:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Neutral
  1. Neutral/Comment I have known Wjmummert for several months know, and have worked alongside with him on some Chicago Cubs-related pages since. In my experience with him, I can honestly say he shares a passion for bettering Cubs-related articles on Wikipedia, and though relatively inexperienced, has attempted to progress the Cubs article by significantly expanding its historical and cultural content. In my opinion, I can partially see where user:Tool2Die4 is coming from, but I believe Wjmummert’s editing style and understanding of Wikipedia’s policies have improved overtime. Wikipedia routes its foundations in various policies to keep its content ‘encyclopedic’ in nature. It is impossible for most users, including myself, to actually place all these policies into practicality when editing. Thus, I believe it may be too early for to grant Wjmummert adminship. Honestly, I wish to remain neutral; Wjmummert has good intentions for bettering a certain part of this Website, but at the same time probably needs more experience. Furthermore, I do not think he would need Adminship to accomplish some of his goals – perhaps maybe helping other editors at Wikipedia:Peer Review . --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  20:02, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
