Werdna648 (talk · contribs) – Werdna648 is a phenominal contributor to Wikipedia. He has been with us since July of last year, and since that time, has helped to make Wikipedia a better place, such as creating Werdnabot. In addition, he has a wide range of contributions, spanning from project-related namespace, to RC patrolling and user namespaces. Werdna is also very friendly, is able to work well with others, and has proven he will be a valuable asset to the admin tools.Pilotguy (roger that) 05:04, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to add that Werdna has addressed many concerns in his previous RFA. His work on the article namespace has increased, and he has shown much more civily. He also surprises many users (myself included) when he tells them he is not an admin! --Pilotguy (roger that) 05:29, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Roger that, making left orbit... Aviation jokes aside, I accept, thanks for nominating me. Werdna (talk) 05:32, 5 July 2006 (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 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 guess I'll probably work mostly on clearing CAT:CSD - an unending chore as I'm sure most sysops know. I'll also probably get involved in prod, keeping an eye on WP:AIV - it's been on my watchlist for ages, and probably take a look at WP:ANI as well. Shamelessly stealing ideas from my previous nomination, I'll also deal with issues on ANI and AN, although probably not AN/3RR. I'll also keep an eye on PAIN, as not enough admins do these days, and remain as a point of contact for new or confused users.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: The most obvious contribution of mine is Werdnabot, who has, today, surpassed me in edit count terms. Werdnabot archives discussion pages, and does a damn good job of it, currently handing ANI, Jimbo's talk page, and all of the Anti-vandal bot talk pages, to name a few. Behind the scenes, Werdnabot also fixes double redirects and a few other mundane tasks. **END OF ADVERTISEMENT for WERDNABOT**. Apart from that, I haven't really worked on any specific articles, however TA Spring, Knox Grammar School and occasionally the ACOTF (Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight). I also regularly discuss on Requests for Adminship, and occasionally on Articles for Deletion, although not now as much as previously. Additionally, I used to be fairly involved in RC Patrolling, but at the moment am taking a break from that to work on my RC Patrolling application "'Pedia Patrol", a shameless ripoff of VandalProof, however I hope to include some extra features. Additionally, I have provided the .NET Bot Framework, recently merged into BlueMoose's WikiFunctions repository on the AutoWikiBrowser CVS. And finally, I've also provided help to new users on #wikipedia, and kept it sane since I was entrusted with Channel Operator privileges, also being instrumental in removing Daniel Brandt's loggerbot from the channel.
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: I have been in a few conflicts - as I'm sure we all have. Two past issues of note include the issues surrounding HolyRomanEmperor's third nomination for adminship, where I made a silly comment about three months ago, causing my first nomination for adminship to fail. Additionally, I have been involved in the Brandt "saga", although this involvement has been somewhat limited lately. Finally, a conflict of note is more recent, and concerns an opposer on Simetrical's second nomination for adminship. This user, an administrator, voted oppose with the simple summary of "No". I requested that he clarify this vote, and the following discussion can be found on the earlier link. A number of users have accused me of harrassing the user regarding this opposition, however I don't believe my actions qualify as harrassment. In the spirit of transparency, I'd like to make this known from the outset of the RfA, so that my actions can be scrutinised. A more recent, but less serious conflict occurred with a malfunction of my "'Pedia Patrol" software. The discussion can be found here.
