Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A:I tend to visit the various XfD projects daily, particularly WP:RFD and WP:AFD, taking note of the various discussions and analyzing the articles. So that will be my first and primary interest, especially at RfD. I'm a person who likes to provide constructive insight during discussions, researching page histories and logs to make sure all sides of the argument are considered. I'm a person who relies on consensus: even if I don't agree with the final result, I'm satisfied if the users involved considered my suggestions. I also browse through the various WP:PROD, reading the pages and either confirming or contesting the proposals, so I'll also dedicate time for those pages.
As for non-article cleanup, I dedicate time to add fair-use rationales to non-free images when I encounter them, unless they're a clear infringement. I have some experience on tagging for CSD because of this, and like I stated before, I always read its history and contact their uploader, usually in non-boilerplate messages, to figure out a solution.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: I've written quite a few articles, including some which, I was surprised to find, hadn't been created yet.
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: Actually, I don't think I've been in a serious conflict before (any users are fully welcome to correct me on this, if I have, I seriously can't remember). That doesn't mean I haven't encountered disagreements, but I've resolved them by talking it out.

General comments

RfAs for this user:

Please keep criticism constructive and polite.

Support

  1. Weak Support He's a nice guy, he made a Holiday Committee and made more edits to Wikipedia compared to his userpage than I ever will. If he had more edits and uses edit summaries, then I might give some more support. Its just that he is a much more descent contributer than me, and he possibly has work hard to try an become a good contributor. I'd probably give him more time to see if he improves.

Oppose

  1. Oppose: has very little edit count, and lack of use of edit summaries. Tiptoety 13:52, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral

  1. Neutral Good user but too few edits and lack of use of edit summaries. Djmckee1 - Talk-Sign 15:40, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Neutral, Friendly user etc., but too few edits and use of edit summaries. Not many mainspace edits recently either. This edit seems a bit strange, arguing about ownership of something which is gonna be deleted soon. — jacĸrм (talk) 17:29, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Neutral- He's a good guy, just needs to do a couple more edits. Mabye in a little while --PolarWolf ( sign ) 23:37, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
