Nomination

Connormah (talk · contribs) – I'm stepping up to nominate an editor who missed narrowly, fairly recently, but who I think deserves another shot, Connormah. He's one of our go to guys on images, including signatures, and has uploaded over a thousand to Wiki. Now, some concerns were expressed at the last RfA about content contributions. Connormah has ignored the recent debate on that subject and spent his time working on content areas, and has racked up a nice brace of GAs and a few DYKs. No matter how you slice it, he's a useful all around guy in these parts and would make an excellent administrator. Wehwalt (talk) 00:19, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

A: I intend to take part in the two places I occasionally dip into every now and then, AIV and RFPP. I also intend to use delete function to perform non-controversial moves that require deleting a redirect once in a while, but I am not really interested in CSD or XfD.

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

A: Recently, I've performed some expansion work on Herbert Charles Wilson and William Egbert, which have been listed as GAs. I've also done some work on expanding William Kneass, Christian Gobrecht and Bryan Hall. I also am quite proud at negotiating releases of images from Flickr users to replace low-quality images currently in articles, namely (off the top of my head) File:Larry O'Brien by James Maclennan.jpg, File:David Swann - April 12, 2010.jpg and File:Lee Bollinger - Daniella Zalcman less noise.jpg (now an FP). Also, (as some may recall from previous RfAs), I've uploaded various signatures of various people in vector format.

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've been in a conflict before (as some may recall from my previous RfA), though I won't state it again (for redundancy's sake), in any future conflicts I will remain calm and engage in a constructive discussion over the dispute. Though I don't intend to invoke drama as an admin (should this pass), the dispute resolution process would be no different than my process stated above.

Additional questions from Connormah

4. Under what circumstances, if any, would you block a user without any warnings?

A: Sockpuppets of banned/blocked users, users, gross username violations, making legal threats and single purpose disruption accounts may be blocked without warning. Most of the time I will warn (or warnings will be present for SPAs, but a block is in order if they're out solely to disrupt). In case anyone was wondering, I still stand by an answer for my opinion on the warning system form my previous RfA.
