D.M.N.

Voice your opinion (talk page) (0/0/0); Scheduled to end 18:29, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

D.M.N. (talk · contribs) - (Note: I am now under the username D.M.N., but used to be under the username Davnel03, and have nominated myself for RFA twice in the past, which failed - hence the reason why this RFA is under the name Davnel03 3) Previous RFA's here and here. I - formerly Davnel03 - have been on Wikipedia now for a over a year. Since joining Wikipedia, I have worked with WP:F1, WP:PW and WP:FOOTBALL. I recently left WP:F1, but am still a semi-contributor still for that project. My main work includes getting 2007 Malaysian Grand Prix to GA-status after a lot of hard work, and managing to get December to Dismember (2006) to FA-status. I also have got three. other articles to GA status. Since joining Wikipedia last year, I have made over 5,000 edits to the encyclopedia. Davnel03 18:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

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: I intend to help out at WP:ANI as well as helping clear the backlog at several different noticeboard. I would also block clear sockpuppet cases that go to ANI so that the board can be run more efficiently. I will help clear WP:AFD, and close AFD's where there is a clear consesus to delete or keep. I will also do a bit of category cleanup, possibly in the speedy deletion categories. I will also help at WP:SSP, and if there are any clear sockpuppet cases, I will block users indefinitely if they are sockpuppets.

2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

A: My first major contribution that I was proud of was with the 2007 Malaysian Grand Prix article, which I managed to get to GA status. I nominated it for FA status, but that unfortunately failed. One of my best contributions surrounds an idea within the pro wrestling WikiProject as a whole, as we decided to gradually split up pay-per-view articles. The concept (first designed by me), worked and several of the articles that we have worked on have got to GA status. December to Dismember (2006), which I worked on, achieved FA status at the beginninng of November. I have also done some minor edits on football articles, but no major edits. I may look at a wider variety of articles in the near future.

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: I have had conflicts with two different users since I joined Wikipedia in November 2006. My first was with Yamla in April over several copyrighted images. I proceeded to legal threaten him, and she therefore blocked me indefinitely. After reading WP:LEGAL, I retracted those threats at the start of July, and was unblocked. My second conflict came with Cowboycaleb1 in August. At first it was over a minor dispute over the Ashley Massaro article. A few weeks after that incident, I attempted to contact him via his talkpage, but he deleted my comment. My userpage and talkpage was then subject to IP blanking and abuse, coming from Caleb's IP range.[1][2][3] [4]. The IP's directed back to Memphis, TN. From there, I suspected he was a sockpuppet, and therefore launched a sockuppet case, after which he was indefinitely blocked.
