Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: Resolving backlogs in various XfDs is what I intend to do if I’m entrusted with administrative tools. In fact, as my unavoidably limited time for Wikipedia (I admit that my erratic edits may not satisfy the community) may be a hindrance to the complete devotion, I will mainly keep strict eyes on old AFDs and WP:CFD/W, two fields that I’m mostly active on though my experience is not as fertile as I’d like to be. I would be also glad to assist with Wikipedia:Request an account and candidates for speedy deletion.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: I’m not an outstanding writer but I do try to enrich Wikipedia content as far as my ability can reach. I have edited many pages, mostly related to Beyoncé songs and Leather, as well as doing routine copy-edit and maintenance on random articles. I also created articles on various topics like Creole (song), The Way I Was and recently Still In Love (Kissing You) and edited also Suga Mama, the latters of which I made into WikiPedia. I began some album stubs such as The Way I Was or Still In Love (Kissing You), but not so often. Overall, my most favorite contribution includes reorganization and addition to 2006 songs and 2007 songs. With dogged efforts plus enthusiastic help from respectable user/admin Jgcarter (who I still feared of his strictness), I successfully promoted it to GA status.
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: Edit conflict is a truism that couldn’t be avoided, especially in the place where editing privilege is offered to everyone. Edit war, as far as I’m concerned, is not only disruptive but also indirectly destabilizes article. I myself have dealt with a number of edit wars within the scope of civility and assuming good faith, but most were minor and caused me no real stress.
I was involved in a discussion with an editor over the existence of a section on article Freakum Dress two weeks ago. In the end, I came to agreement with that editor that the information wasn’t verified by reliable sources and thus the removal was warranted.
In general, as long as everyone is willing to follow the spirit of Wikipedia:Etiquette, edit conflicts will have no room for causing stress on editors.
4. Question by Miranda - Hi, Adam levine ian bagg and thanks for applying for RFA. What is your interpretation of WP:BLP?


5. Super-optional question by - Alison ☺ - Hi there. As an admin when would you consider it prudent not to protect a page, upon request? I know that's a loosely-defined question, but I'm interested in your opinions on our protection policy.
6. Another extremely optional question from VanTucky (talk) What informed your decision to redirect your user page to your talk? Was this simply for lack of interest in developing one, or was it a more serious issue?
7. Question from L Do you think that your edits ever show a Point of View on things, based on how you see them, intentionally or not? And what do you do to try to resolve that? --Lucid 06:58, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Optional question from SilkTork

8 Can you think of any situation(s) where an admin shouldn't be allowed to delete an article?
A:
9. Question from Pedro Your early edits show a remarkable level of knowledge of Wikipedia editing and markup - were you editing as an IP prior to your account creation? (added for clarification) Without revealing your IP address, if this is the case could you give a rough indication of the number of edits or period of time you were editing?
A:
