[edit] Stifle
I am a Wikipedia administrator. If you need help at any stage, feel free to leave a message.
Please do not edit my userpage to remove, subst, edit, bypass redirects on, or otherwise change userboxes. Contact me on my talk page if you would like to discuss this.
If you need access to a Wikipedia article that has been deleted, ask me. If it's not a copyright violation, libel or similar, I will make the text available to you.
Note that using the text to recreate the deleted content is speedyable, and using it to keep it hanging around in your userspace has gotten editors penalized before. But that's your problem.
This is my user page. However, since Wikipedia is a wiki, you can edit it. Feel free to do so.
[edit] My general links
My main activities on Wikipedia are participating in the articles for deletion process, monitoring the deletion queue, new pages, new images, and new images added by newbies, which are particularly likely to lack source and copyright info.
I also tend to check my deletion log to ensure people haven't recreated stuff on it inappropriately.

The Barnstar of Good Humour |
| Aprils fools day was a blast. Loads of users lightened up to have good old fashion fun. I want to thank you for taking part in editing this page in particular and even though I may not know you, embrace the same talk pages, or even edit with you in the near future, I'd like to award you this Barnstar for making Wikipedia a fun environment in which to contribute. Until next year. :) SynergeticMaggot (talk) 13:12, 2 April 2008 (UTC) |

[edit] Requests for adminship
My standards for adminship have recently changed. The following pseudocode designates pre-qualification requirements.
if (TimeSinceRegistering < 2 months) {
oppose ('Insufficient experience with Wikipedia.')
}
elseif (Edits.WikipediaNS < 500) {
oppose ('Low level of Wikipedia-namespace edits indicate a lack of policy knowledge.')
}
elseif (Candidate has active RFC or RFAR) {
oppose ('Please resolve your outstanding conflicts before returning to RFA.')
}
If these three are cleared, then I will briefly check the reasons given by existing opposers and see if they are concerns that I would share, and then support or oppose based on that.
[edit] Concerns which I consider valid
- Judgment issues
- Civility
- Understanding of copyright policies, specifically with images
- Understanding of deletion policies
- Recent behavioural issues
[edit] Concerns which I do not consider valid
(in so far as they do not conflict with the above)
- Previous (i.e. 6+ months ago) behaviour
- Previous (i.e. 6+ months ago) ArbCom or other sanctions
- Article-writing experience, including good/featured articles, edit counts, etc.
- Length of time on Wikipedia
- How many previous RFAs, how long since the RFAs
- Answers to optional questions
- Self-nomination
