MPF (talk · contribs) – Recently celebrating his two-year anniversary as a registered member of Wikipedia, Michael Frankis (MPF) has been a prolific contributor to the project since January 2004, managing to accrue over 25-thousand edits since he joined. [1] MPF is an active contributor to Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life, with a special interest in Pinophyta, and plants and animals in general. He also makes exceptional use of edit summaries, assists with corrections at Wikipedia:External peer review, helps revert spam and vandalism where needed, and would undoubtedly make fine use of the admin tools. Please join me in support of this nomination. Hall Monitor 21:15, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Having resisted becoming an admin for some time for various reasons, I've finally decided to succumb to the idea, assuming the vote is in favour - MPF 22:08, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Moreover, he is an expert on plants; an invaluable resource for those of us that work in that area.

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.

A. Very little until I've got myself familiar with the 'how to' of it; once I've got the hang of it, then one thing I've noticed is the frequently very long backlogs of dealing with page copyvios, deletions and moves - that's something I'd feel happy with helping out with. Maybe I'll delve into more later. - MPF 22:08, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A. No particular single article, but overall I'm quite pleased with keeping the articles in Category:Conifers and its subcategories in decent order, and various other plant articles, particularly trees and shrubs. - MPF 22:08, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

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 how will you deal with it in the future?

A. A few, inevitably; mostly they've been sorted fairly easily (and often the article benefits from the extra research resulting). Because of the stress, one or two conflicts I've walked away from even where I felt my case was good. - MPF 22:08, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
