21655

Voice your opinion (talk page) (0/1/0); Scheduled to end 19:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

21655 (talk · contribs) - After reading this and realizing what I did two days ago was beyond stupid, I decided I'm not going to go down without a fight. Withdrawing my nom was a sign of pure panic and dread that more Opposes will come until it gets closed per WP:SNOW. Total. Mistake.

As if acting like a child during my RFA wasn't dumb enough, threatening retirement here was totally uncalled for. I shouldn't have gone aggro because 8 users all agreed that my non-Wiki stress bout and the incivility that followed on 2008-03-14 and decided that I was inherently worthless because of such. I apologize sincerely, and solemnly affirm that will NEVER happen again.

Why I deserve to become an admin is already here, and I'd like to add that I can help out at WP:AFD as well.

So...it's on. Two One Six Five Five τ ʃ 19:37, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]


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: WP:AIV, WP:AFD, WP:RFR.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: Other than Master Control (Cartoon Network), I have none.
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: As shameful as it is, I'll come right out and say it. The failure of my RfA (and the process itself, as you can see from my edit summaries on my previous RFA) led to tremendous Wikistress, eventually culminating in an episode of emotional blackmail that I don't doubt will lead to Opposes through the roof.

As for the future, it's simple. Fight vandals until I forget why I got mad in the first place. People tell me it causes serious stress, but to me it doesn't. In fact, there's a sense of pride in doing this. But I'll get to that later.
