Questions for the candidate[edit]

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
A: I plan to investigate and block problematic accounts, especially sockpuppets. I will also assist with revision deletion.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: I can think of two examples, this and this.
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 have gotten in a dispute that led to a block, but I took it well.

General comments[edit]

Please keep discussion constructive and civil. If you are unfamiliar with the nominee, please thoroughly review their contributions before commenting.

Discussion[edit]

Support[edit]
  1. Support. Socks are the easiest way to sniff out other socks. While we're at it, give him CU too! buffbills7701 20:49, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support no edits, so probably no drama. Northern Antarctica (₵) 22:23, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support .... Meh why not :) -→Davey2010→→Talk to me!→ 22:33, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Support Very clean contributions! ///EuroCarGT 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose[edit]
  1. Oppose User name - WP:IDONTLIKEIT too anonymous. Suggest change to Sock126, Let's call a spade a spade  Ronhjones  (Talk) 22:44, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose Username is confusing if you can't count over 100. Mkdwtalk 22:53, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose Not now. No edits. Donner60 (talk) 22:55, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Oppose – User must make at least 1 log action or edit for me to support. I am also concerned that the username is too long, as it may cause accessibility problems for people who can't read usernames over 10 characters long. Epicgenius (talk) 23:29, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose for now. Willing to revisit in exactly one year. Lagrange613 23:47, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral[edit]
  1. Neutral - as my 6 sockpuppets are evenly split 3:3 I'd better sit this one out: Noyster (talk), 23:28, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
