Howabout1

[edit]

final (2/6/4) ending 23:38 6 June 2005 (UTC)

I've been around for around four months and have 645 edits. I realize that I don't meet a lot of adminship standards, so, while this still a serious nomination, it is meant to find out where I am in the wikipedia world. I do some RC patrolling and check the new pages list for pages worthy of speedy deletion. I think I could also use blocking powers, as I sometimes come in contact with users that have been warned several times, but still vandalize. As of now I just report them to admins and hope they will do something. Howabout1 23:40, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Support

  1. Since this is a good contributor, s/he certainly deserves some support. RC patrol is a very useful task if sometimes tedious. Keep up the good work and you will be an admin in a couple of months. Radiant_* 12:20, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
  2. I know there are low edit count problems but I will give the benefit of the doubt. --JuntungWu 15:37, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Oppose for now. This editor is well-intentioned and likely to be mopworthy in the future. Not enough information available about how he interacts with other editors; most contributions in the User Talk namespace are {welcome} messages. Needs more seasoning in Wikipedia style conventions (his article Incomplete Pass was created with incorrect capitalization, for instance). Would like to see more experience and interaction before we give the keys to an editor interested in heavy use of blocking and speedy deletion tools. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 03:02, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose Even though I'm normally against judging people on number of edits I have to agree that we don't know enough about his work so I'd say it might be better if he waited awhile to either self nominate again or be nominated by somebody else. Vote made by Jtkiefer (talk · contributions)
  3. Oppose. Sorry, but it is too early. The edit counts are very low and there needs to be more interactions with users other than the welcome messages. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 09:34, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  4. oppose keep up the good work, and re-nominate yourself in a few months. an admin should have a longer basis of experiences with the software and the community and the policies and the procedures. Kingturtle 18:52, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  5. Oppose not because you have done anything wrong, but becuase of a lack of experience. In fact, you seem to be off to a very good start, less than 1000 edits is too little... To paraphrase the {{test3}}-template: Please continue. If you continue with your fine work, you will be promoted to an administrator of Wikipedia. Sjakkalle 11:29, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  6. Oppose Does not meet my admin criterion. If you disagree and think that you do and would like me to reconsider, please leave a note on my userpage, jguk 19:20, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. Will support when edits reflect a greater inclination to admin tasks. Probably will support in a few months. Keep working for a better Wikipedia! Bratschetalk random 01:26, May 31, 2005 (UTC)
  2. Will support if user doubles this number of edits with a similar level of quality and spirit.  !!!!
  3. Not right now. What I have seen so far is good but not enough edits, and not enough contribution to the article space in the form of new writing. Keep at it, and I can see myself supporting in a few months. David | Talk 11:07, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  4. Doing well so far, but too few edits. Come back later, I'm sure you'll be able to get more support (as well as mine). ;) - Mailer Diablo 23:14, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A. RC patrolling, helping with VfD and Speedy Delete, and blocking vandals.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I have no major accomplishments, but marking pages for speedy deletion and wikifying pages are my to best contributions.
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 will deal with it in the future?
A. I haven't had any conflicts with other users. As for dealing with stress, I think I will talk any problems out on the talk page. I will also try to see the other persons point of view and compromise.
