SWD316

[{{fullurl:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/SWD316 2|action=edit}} Vote here] (6/2/0) ending 18:41 21 December (UTC)

SWD316 (talk · contribs) – SWD316 is a user who I have come to respect through his kind and helpful behavior. He is an enthusiastic editor with thousands of edits. His previous RFA three months ago failed because of his failure to make use of the preview button and edit summaries. And, too little experience. Since then he has increased his edit summary usage drastically and previews far more often. Although I do not edit in the same areas as he does, every time SWD316 has come under my radar he has left me with a good impression. SWD316 has the enthusiam, the experience, and the good will that I believe would make him wield the administrator's mop well. - Banes 18:41, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

  1. Strong Oppose - Doesn't have a single mainspace edit outside of professional wrestling articles. Once edited my user page without asking. Accused me of being a sockpuppet vandal (which is false). Even made remarks that I was a "poor editor", which I feel violates various Wikipedia conduct rules. He has an inflated edit count, as he has about 2,000 edits on his user page alone. Even has elements of his user page mispelled and sloppily done, despite the massive amount of edits on his userpage ("Vandalizing againts"?). He comes off as unprofessional and immature. I feel that he may abuse his proposed moderator powers and that he does not handle his stress well on the site. Maybe he has done some good, but look at the facts before you make your decision.

Now, that vandal could well have been someone else, we dont know, I dont want to point fingers and go off topic. However, considering that it was the very first time someone vandalized his userpage, and considering the content, SWD316 had some reason to be suspicious. Also, please provide a diff showing where SWD316 called you a "poor editor", as I cant find it. Thanks Banes 20:27, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Oppose - He needs a bit more experience. Rock09 19:49, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I would love to know how you arrived at this conclusion. SWD has ~8000 edits, while you, on the other hand, have less than 10. «LordViD» 21:07, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'm not trying to be an admin, ever! I've dealt with plenty of admins over the years here all over the network, and I just don't think he would work out. My opinion, and certainly valid to earn my vote. Rock09 21:20, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for the candidate
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 work with Account suspensions, Th deletion process with Wikipedia, I already roll back vandalism, and I try to spot copyright infringment where I can.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Well, there is one I consider good. the Current World Wrestling Entertainment roster I created a while back has been one of the most frequently updated and prefered list on the internet, see www.mywrestlingspace.com and other lists all over the internet. Most other edits are clean-up, vandalism roll back and other stuff.
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. Yes many users have caused me stress over edits because of not adding correct information, no source, wrong sources and such. I usually asked for better sources of information from the user and if they continue to edit with faulty info, I usually contact and admin. Not many conflicts outside that over editing an article as much as a sockpuppet vandal conflict. Per above, Mcfly85. This user, I suspect, has created or used IP addresses or new names to vandalize my user page.
