[edit] Prior nomination

Some may notice this page has been deleted twice. The first time, Jedi6 nominated me after we spent quite a lot of time reverting vandalism over the Wii article. Back then, I explained in his talk page that, due lack of time and administrator-task involvement like AFD and RFA, I would be rejecting his offer. The second time, Fastnaturedude nominated me. However, I had had an inconvenient with him, in which I did not realize I was editing a prior version of his talk page, which created a bad mood during which he nominated me for adminship claiming another had done so. Everything was solved after I apologized. See the details at User talk:Fastnaturedude. -- ReyBrujo 06:18, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Also, I want to point out that I was asked several times to either nominate myself or accept a nomination. However, I refused due a personal thought that I did not need the tools. This was influenced by my fears that people would want administrators who act like administrators during most of the time. As a wikignome, that is something I can't really promise. I enjoy helping users as much as expanding Dragonlance articles and removing non notable external links, and if adminship meant leaving all that behind, I preferred to continue as an editor. However, both User:Interiot and User:W.marsh took their time to explain me that adminship is not to be taken as an obligation, but just another way of contributing to Wikipedia. That is why I am now here, as candidate, because adminship would not restrict my activities here, but instead expand them. I must thank them both for their advice and suggestions. -- ReyBrujo 16:25, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requests for adminship participation

In case anyone is wondering why I don't usually participate in requests for adminship, it is my belief that simple numbers do not really express the quality of a user, and that not only a deep check in the user edit history is needed, but also some experience dealing with the user. That is why I only participate in requests from people to whom I have known prior to the nomination, either by contributing in similar articles, or while working in similar projects. An editor review is usually easier to handle, because you only point what you think about the editor contributions in a pretty neutral way. In a request for adminship, where the user is to be given tools that are not yet available for others, such a cold review cannot take into account something very important: the situation in which his reaction was based. -- ReyBrujo 16:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
