9cds (talk · contribs) – I hereby nominate cds (9cds) for the mop. She's kind and civil, enjoys adding content to articles, is keen to follow policy and is specifically dedicated to referencing.

I actually first met this user while editing Big Brother (UK series 7). In fact, that is a very good example of why the AdminPowers^TM should be bestowed upon her. This shows her openness to new ideas ([1]), commitment to policy ([2], e.g.), civility ([3]), commitment to referencing ([4], [5]), commitment to discussion (Talk:Big Brother 7 nominations table) and knowledge of WikiSyntax (a real feat of engineering).

For all these reasons, I think that she should be made an admin, and so should you :). Regards, —Celestianpower ^háblame 22:06, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept. -- 9cds^(talk) 22:39, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

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: I will continue working on AfD, helping with the backlog. I have been recently closing discussions that are keep, but I will continue by closing delete discussions, if given the powers. I will also continue to revert vandalism, with the ability to block consistant vandals.

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

A: I think that Celestianpower has done a fine job listing good contributions. I'm particularly pleased with the work I've recently spent on the Big Brother 7 article, keeping it clean and in particular the housemates infobox, which I converted to 100% wikisyntax this afternoon. I'm also pleased with my earlier work on the British TV shows and TV channels wikiprojects, where I created new articles, and added more detail where it is to be found.

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: My most recent stress will have to be from the Big Brother articles, where there was a lot of disagreement from JD_UK and others about the articles and its content. I feel I managed to keep my cool, and instead of making personal attacks, or edit warring, trying to discuss articles on the talk pages, and trying to follow wikipedia procedures and guidelines. I think I've done a good job with it, but I regret trying to not reach to JD_UK earlier to try and offer my help with editing wikipedia, and explain how things are done.

DriniQuestion

Do you think admins performing actions (deletions, blocks) for reasons not covered on policy should be sanctioned/punished? If so, how? -- Drini 22:24, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I think that punished is a strong word to agree with, I think that everyone makes mistakes, and the first thing to do is to explain on the admin's talkpage that the action was not covered by policy. However, I think that if this is persistant, the admin should no longer be trusted with the powers, at least for the time being.
