Hdt83 (talk · contribs) - Hello, my name is Hdt83. This is my 2nd rfa after the first one which failed [1]. I am nominating myself for adminship to help out Wikipedia more than what I'm doing now as a regular editor. I joined Wikipedia after learning of it though search results on the web and joined around September 2006. I really got stated editing around January and have since been very active on Wikipedia. Since my last rfa, I have improved greatly and addressed many of the concerns. My main contributions are towards WP:AFC and vandal-fighting but I also help out at the help desk and voice my opinions at afds. I have almost 10000 edits on Wikipedia per edit counter and I am knowledgeable in Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --_Hdt83 ^Chat 00:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?

A: I intend to help out at WP:AIV to block vandals espeacially if it is backlogged. Another area I would help out in is CAT:CSD which is continuously backlogged and is in need of help. In addition to these tasks, I would also close afds and the other proposed deletion categories as well as protect articles needing protection at WP:RFPP and remove protection from articles that don't need it.

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

A: It would be hard to say which of my contributions to Wikipedia are considred my best as all of them benefit Wikipedia in one way or another. I would say that vandalism reverting and helping out at WP:AFC would be the best contributions I have made. Without both the creation of new articles and reverting the muck that tends to come on them, Wikipedia would cease to exist.

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 been in conflicts in the past but not too recently. I deal with conflicts by backing off and letting the conflict cool down before discussing it to come to a compromise. If tensions do rise, I would request the opinions of others before taking action. These actions are what I would do in any future conflicts or disagreements.

Optional question from EVula

4. Your last RfA failed (apparently) primarily due to concerns about civility. How do you feel that you've addressed those concerns in the few weeks since your withdrawal?

Discussion

Support

Support, seen him around, nice chap. Would certainly take the burden off AIV. Ryan Postlethwaite 00:58, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Support removed for now - a couple of weeks is not enough time between RfA's to show you have relieved concerns. Ryan Postlethwaite 01:09, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Oppose This user's last RfA was less than a month ago. That is far too soon. Captain panda 01:05, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
2. Oppose Far too soon since last RfA (closed May 27). —AldeBaer 01:09, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
3. Oppose Unfortunately I must agree with the other users, it is far too short a time in between RfAs. I have looked over the user, and I do believe that he/she will make a good admin in time. He should do another RfA, but perhaps wait a couple of months, to prove without a doubt that the concerns from the previous RfA have been relieved. --HAL2008 talk 01:22, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Neutral

1. Neutral. You've been doing some good work recently, and I liked the way you handled your last RfA, but it's still a little too soon for me to support. I'd suggest maybe writing some articles or something and coming back in a couple months. - Zeibura^(talk) 01:15, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
