::'''A:''' The Reference Desk! It has been almost a year there, and I love helping people out there. I ask photographers I know if they could donate their image to Wikipedia often, and sometimes they say yes. I also bring a lot of public domain images in from the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, and Navy. I have never really focused on one article, but do a lot of cleanups, reference adding, wikification, NPOV, and tone working.
::'''A:''' The Reference Desk! It has been almost a year there, checking it a dozen times daily, and it has been a lot of fun.
:'''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:''' The most stress I have ever gotten from Wikipedia is when I got Vandal Fighter, and found out some jerks actually spend ''part of their life'' vandalizing Wikipedia. Conflicts and/or stress concering Wikipedia is ''never'' going to happen for me—editing is just too much fun for that! If there is ever a conflict and opposing parties do not intend on compromising at all, I would just have to give in. Cheers!

Mac Davis (talk·contribs) – Mac Davis is an active, fantastic contributor. He has over 4,000 edits (nearly 2000 main and a lot for the Reference Desks. He's had no history of wrongdoing (and even helped correct mine). I don't see why Mac shouldn't be an administrator. -- Chrischateditsessays 15:22, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is an honor to be nominated for adminship! I have always wanted to be an administrator after watching in awe how quickly and efficiently they work. :) As for the "no history of wrongdoing," I must confess I had two copyright vios in my first 20 edits. Sorry.
