Anynobody (talk · contribs) - I'm not interested in wasting anyone's time so I'll keep this brief. I've noticed that administrator backlogs on certain tasks are very heavy, and I think I can help with some of the work.

I realize my tenure here has been short, but I can respond to any concerns this may cause by stating that I am open to recall by the community. Rather than a set number of editors necessary for recall I propose having the subject be settled by a WP:RFC. I also support administrator transparency and would place a link to my edits as an admin on my user page. Further I pledge never to use any administrator tools in disagreements over the articles I am editing, against any editors I have disputes with, or to help editors I am friendly with break any rules.

This proposal may seem short, especially to anyone who knows me or reviews my contributions. I do not mean to give the impression I am not willing to put effort into this, instead I prefer to let my actions speak for me. Thank you for your time, Anynobody 02:05, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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 participants:

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

A: Anywhere required by CAT:AB but I think I can be of the most help in any of these: WP:AN/I WP:AN3 WP:BLPN WP:COI/N WP:LTA WP:SSP WP:ABUSE WP:CN WP:AN WP:CFD WP:RM. To be clear, when explaining Wikipedia to an editor I would not simply list links to policies, guidelines, or WP:DR. I do that here to save the time of experienced editors and administrators.

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

A: I try not to take pride in any of my edits, this makes it easier to accept criticism and allow others to edit my contributions. I stand behind all of my contributions because I know that I could be called to explain any of them. Here is a link to my contributions, I invite anyone interested to review. Anynobody's contributions

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: Other editors do not cause me stress because I can accept being wrong. I try to handle disputes with other editors in a rational, courteous, but assertive tone. I always try to find something to agree with them on, and am usually willing to compromise. As a sysop I would try to mediate in the same way by looking for something each editor has done correctly and pointing out errors as humanely as possible. As it happens I am currently supporting an unpopular move request regarding Krakatoa, this is an example of how I handle disagreements:Talk:Krakatoa

 I realize my tenure here has been short, but I can respond to any concerns this may cause by stating that I am open to recall by the community. Rather than a set number of editors necessary for recall I propose having the subject be settled by a [[WP:RFC]]. I also support administrator transparency and would place a link to my edits as an admin on my user page. Further I pledge '''never''' to use any administrator tools in ''disagreements over the articles I am editing'', ''against any editors I have disputes with'', or ''to help editors I am friendly with break any rules''.
