Phase I: Getting to know you

[edit]

Editor statistics

[edit]

Why do you want to be an admin?

[edit]

Q: So why do you want to be an admin?

A: Because I look up to the Admins and I would like the tools available to admins to make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia.

What do you expect from the admin coaching process?

[edit]

Q: How can I help you prepare for an RFA?

A: Help me gain the experience needed to become an Admin.

Standard (mandatory) RFA questions

[edit]

Answer these questions:

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

A: Any adminstrative work I am capable to do! Because I am a full time high school student, I cannot dedicate all my time to Wikipedia!

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

A: I have collobrated with TechOutsider on Norton 360 and Norton Internet Security, which are both GA. I have also uploaded the image File:Planetdead2.jpg, which is used in the toolbox.

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 have so far not encounter any major conflits or disagreements with other users. I have had one conflict with the screenshot of Norton LiveUpdate. However, I provided another better screenshot and the conflict ended peacefully.

Vandals are particular stress to me. They seem to have ruin and tear down this wonderous encyclopedia. Did you know there is a WikiProject on Vandals in Wikipedia. Checkout Wikipedia:Rouge_admin!

Commentary

[edit]

I think the main reason that so many of your RfA's failed was due to lack of experience. I notice that you have participated in 3 AfD's, but that was it. You should consider participating in more AfD's. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:38, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Phase III: Administrator's reading list

[edit]

Review the pages in the Administrator's reading list. Put a  Done next to each document that you have read. Put any questions you have on User talk:Genius101/Admin coaching.

Admins are expected to have an intimate understanding of Wikipedia policy. They are also expected to consistently demonstrate comprehension of these policies. This is especially paramount regarding the use of abilities entrusted to admins which are unavailable to regular users and editors of Wikipedia.

The following items are considered highly recommended reading material. These pages detail prerequisite knowledge required by an admin:

I would consider myself as a inclusionist. BTW, does adding the {{hangon}} count as RFD deletion discussion. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 22:38, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
No, hangon is for the speedy deletion process. WP:RFD is redirects for discussion, a completely different process. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:52, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
