Voice your opinion (talk page) (18/2/0); Scheduled to end 21:02, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Nomination

TheDJ (talk · contribs) – I'm going for my 2nd self nomination. The previous one was in February 2008 and I failed it, for not reading the speedy deletion guidelines before answering a question. That won't happen again :D. Beyond that, i'm basically the same guy. I'm all over the place, mostly interested in template work and javascript however. Still hardly interested in deletion activities, but have since done some more article writing, resulting in my first GA article ! My primary interest in going for administrator, is still that I want that mop, in order to be more effective/useful in the template/mediawiki/JS/CSS work that I like to work on. Also still active on Commons in taking care of NASA images. Just finished a big batch upload there. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 21:02, 18 April 2009 (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 administrative work do you intend to take part in?
A: Mostly "editprotected" related work. Might consider getting back into TfD. Might also care to work in Image maintenance/speedy deletion, since it kinda connects to my Commons activities. Have not as much interest in article namespace deletion.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: In my own opinion, my Javascript work for Safari users. International Space Station and Lodewijk van den Berg are personal favorites in article namespace however.
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: Everyone gets in conflicts or in stress. Never made it to some serious "intervention-required" dispute however. Usually I try to keep my stress on a Talk page. Like almost everyone, I have been unkind to some souls, but usually they deserved it and even if they did, I apologized to most of them afterwards. :D
(addendum) As far as I can remember, I have not been involved in anything approaching a dispute for at least the past year. My attempt at a little "humor" here (Q3) was clearly unsuccessful and misplaced. I meant to say that I have surely stepped on someone's toes, but who hasn't. And people who "deserve it", are definitely not newbies, and are expected to know how to deal with criticism. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 00:21, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Optional questions from Oren0
4. Most administrative functions require the admin to be "uninvolved". What does this mean to you? In what types of circumstances might an administrator be too "involved" to perform an administrative action? Are there specific pages or users (you don't have to list them if you don't want) that you wouldn't use your administrative powers on/against?
A:
5. Can you ever think of a case where you'd immediately speedy delete a page despite a {{hangon}} tag?
A: {{hangon}} gives the answer by itself: "Note that this request is not binding, and the page may still be deleted if the page unquestionably meets the speedy deletion criteria, or if the promised explanation is not provided very soon." --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 23:01, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
6. You come across a page tagged with a speedy deletion template. The criterion listed doesn't apply and the page doesn't seem to fit any of the other criteria either, but the page is blatantly harmful to the encyclopedia. What do you do?
A: Please clarify "blatantly harmful to the encyclopedia"... But pre-emptively: tagging is not required for a speedy delete. A speedy delete simply needs to meet the criteria for speedy deletion in order for an admin to delete. "Criteria for speedy deletion specify the limited cases where administrators may delete Wikipedia pages or media without discussion." --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 23:01, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
By "blatantly harmful", I mean that the page is not constructive and no reasonable editor would ever lobby for the page's inclusion, but it doesn't meet any of the CSD. Oren0 (talk) 01:50, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Optional question from Neurolysis
7. Would you please list some conflicts/disputes you have been in, with diffs (as an expansion to Q3)?
A: I remember once telling a certain admin that he was a disgrace to the project and that the project would be better of without him. I not 100% sure who that was....(I can look that up at a later time). And I don't think i have been in any type of conflict/dispute in the past year. At least not unless you call the debate at Talk:Australian_Communications_and_Media_Authority a dispute. Perhaps "i've stepped on toes" would have been a better description. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 23:47, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A (strictly optional) question from Tempodivalse
8: What is your understanding of consensus? How would you determine if consensus does or does not exist? I'm asking this because, as an administrator, you will inevitably come upon situations where you will have to judge consensus in order to take a certain action, such as in XfDs, article content disputes, etc.

Oppose
  1. Weak Oppose-I liked you at first-good experience, good edits, nice all around and I thought you could be awesome. But the I read this: "Like almost everyone, I have been unkind to some souls, but usually they deserved it and even if they did, I apologized to most of them afterwards. :D"-just doesn't settle well with me. The smallest things can make the biggest difference.-- Gears of War 2 (NGG) 23:31, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Hiya... my apologies, but I was a little confused when I was reading your rationale. Were you saying that that the candidate said the quoted phrase, and if so do you happen have diffs so that other visitors to this RFA can also view this information and/or the context in which it was presented? --slakr\ talk / 23:57, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Umm...just read question 3.-- Gears of War 2 (NGG) 00:00, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I have clarified the answer a bit. Smilies have no place here. If you have any specific questions, please let me know. And for now, Good night... --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 00:25, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for clarifying but that you would say that at all, make me iffy.-- Gears of War 2 (NGG) 00:31, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    LOL sorry, I totally didn't see that. I'm retarded. In any case, glad he clarified. The main reason I asked in the first place is because of the ":D" which indicated to me a joke or at the very least that the quote might have been taken out of context (just tryin' to look out for others) :P. Annnnyway, thanks for the response. Cheers =) --slakr\ talk / 01:20, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose Too many administrators currently. DougsTech (talk) 01:00, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
