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: Some of the admin work that I will probably be participating in will probably cover a wide range of topics. I will participate regularly in WP:AFD, WP:CSD, and others. While I'm not patrolling the pages of Wikipedia, I will most likely be participating in a variety of Wikiprojects, one of which being Military History. I have created a quite a few articles in this subject that I am familiar with, and I feel that with admin powers I would be able to contribute much more than being a regular user. Also, being the founder of the upcoming Wikipedia:WikiProject Technology History, I will be able to do more productive work. My first RFA was before I had any idea what I was doing at all on Wikipedia. As you would expect, it failed quite miserably. Now, having much more experience, I hope that I can get adminship to help out much more on Wikipedia.

2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

A:

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:

Discussion

Support

1. Support, would not abuse the tools - but I'll see your answers to forthcoming questions in case. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{it seems the winds have stopped...} 22:35, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

   #Support would use tools well. But like WBOSITG, I'll bear in mind other questions answers. However, it worries be that you put this then this on someone else's usepage that wasn't your own. However, that was last October, so I'll give you benefit of the doubt on this. Spencer^T♦C 22:40, 15 February 2008 (UTC) Changed to oppose[reply]

This is what happens when you leave your computer alone for a few seconds in a school library. Redmarkviolinist ^{Drop me a line} 00:00, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1. Moral support - You can be a helpful editor, but you really need to become more familiar with CSD. This has next to zero chance of passing, but come back in a few months. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 23:40, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

1. Oppose [1] Strange. And then I find [2] [3] [4] Plain wrong. Sorry, but low number of edits, lack of edit summaries, garish user page and very dodgy C:CSD calls all mount up I'm afraid. Pedro :  Chat  22:43, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

   In his defense, he reverted the first one. Maybe it was an accident with Twinkle? _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{it seems the winds have stopped...} 23:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

   Actually, scratch that, per Darkspots below. Sorry. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{it seems the winds have stopped...} 23:48, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2. Oppose per the diffs pedro gave. Spencer^T♦C 22:52, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
3. Oppose. Pedro's diffs are extremely worrying. Plus, your own coach doesn't think you're ready for adminship [5]. Malinaccier (talk) 22:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
4. Oppose Pedro's first diff was actually the second speedy tagging of that user page by RMV in rapid sucession: [6]. Hey, everyone deletes the main page makes an honest mistake from time to time, but twice in three minutes? Please edit slower. Also, please make your user talk page more legible. Darkspots (talk) 23:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

   I wanted to clarify my remark about your user talk page--in my browser (IE), the bright green background makes the black text really hard to read without eyestrain. Thanks, Darkspots (talk) 23:28, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

5. Oppose You request two times in a row the deletion of one of Wikipedia's main contributors as patent nonsense. One mistake can happen. Two in a row? And maybe you should stay away from CSD anyway, the other diffs are not ok for me too. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 23:27, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
6. Oppose Redmarkviolinist appears to have a poor grasp on deletion policy and unfortunately is too quick to nominate items for deletion. He gives no answers to two of the standard questions and a poor answer to the first - again indicating he doesn't understand the role and an admin and basic Wikipedia policies. I'm sorry but you simply are not ready yet. Gwernol 23:34, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
7. Oppose - Rushed RfA, along with diff's provided by Pedro. Tiptoety ^talk 23:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
8. Oppose. Not enough experience. CSD diffs are troubling. Vandalism in October on another editor's userpage is unacceptable. Doesn't meet my criteria. Useight (talk) 23:48, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
