These are my guidelines to a perect RfA.

Questions for the candidate

[edit]

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:
  1. WP:AIV - I will take action against vandals on my watchlist that need to be dealt with, acting within guidelines.
  2. WP:UAA - I intend to help out here.
  3. WP:AFD - I would look at the consensus being achieved, comment on nominations (although admittedly this is not a sysop privilege), and delete as appropriate.
  4. CAT:PROD - I would work with deleting expired PRODs, checking the reason and viability of that reason per guidelines before deletion or action.
  5. CAT:CSD - This category is never empty. I would see if the article falls into this and if it did, I would delete it. I admit I have been somewhat slapdash with this in the past, but as you will see, I have cleaned up my act, now helping out newcomers confused by the process of article deletion and always making sure that the article is criteria for speedy deletion before nomination.
  6. WP:BLOCK - I will also indefinitely block users with inappropriate usernames though I would have to think who would have such usernames. I will also repeatedly block users who perform persistent vandalism on the pages of my favourite subjects.
  7. WP:BAN - I will also organize any types of bans for continuously, and hugely, distruptive users, no matter what they do and how they appeal.
  8. WP:RfAR - I will take very distruptive users here to be given an arbitration, the last step in dispute resolution, by ArbCom.
  9. WP:QUALITY - I have also worked in other areas of Wikipedia, like templates and categories, trying to update them to top-notch quality.
Although the above would be my main areas of activity within sysop work, if somebody were to request for me to do something else that required my permissions for a time, I would certainly oblige (if I had the knowledge or I could gain the knowledge needed to efficiently participate).
Being a sysop would mostly be about doing what at this time I have to request to be done.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: My best contributions to Wikipedia are to the articles of my favorite things because I get to polish them all off with incredible results. I have uploaded some images to go with these articles and I do hope to keep up the good contributions. I am also particularly proud of creating WikiProject Indiana Jones and Portal:Indiana Jones entirely by myself. I have also created several templates to put on the mainspace. I am very familiar with markup and I am also an eloquent writer. Again, I hope to keep up the good contributions.
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 haven't been in a lot of conflict, though there was a debate with the image on the Quincy Jones page, and eventually the debate ended up unresolved. With the future, let me think about that.
