User:Chris is me/Preloaded RFA answers

This page is to make it easier for me to start an RFA when and if I am nominated in the future.

Chris is me
[ Voice your opinion] (0/0/0);

– After last RFA crashed and burnt over my incessant incivility, I attempted to keep a level head since then and have mostly succeeded, excluding a minor issue on MySpace that was mostly a misunderstanding. Regardless, I've since revised MySpace again and have brought The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail and Conserve School oh-so-close to B-class. I've also made a few (bad) Village Pump proposals, closed AFDs, etc. I think I'm a much better candidate now than before, despite my low edit count (I've been here for two years, I've probably almost past Jimbo's count). With my work against copyvios increasing, now I actually have a real need for that mop; it'd save valuable minutes in removing copyvios! Here goes, -- Chris is  me


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Statement: I am open to review of my adminship after any incident or event by renominating me on RFA.

I am not perfect, nor will I ever be. As anyone can see, my first 1000 edits were plagued with stupidity, incivility, and failure. I am still pretty stupid.

I've known of too many people who try and present all their good in their RFA but not their bad. I, in order to keep space down, merely link to my previous RFA, which lists most of my bad.

Also, please don't reject me for a small edit count. I am devoted to Wikipedia and have been a user for nearly 2 years but, since I have a busy and complicated life, I haven't been able to get 4000, 6000, or whatever the average minimum edit rate is. I average (recently) 300 edits per month.

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * Questions for the candidate
 * 1. What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog and Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
 * A: I would help with WP:CP during my free hours (2-3 a day). I also plan on reviewing Special:Newpages to check for articles to add to... or delete. I do NewPage editing now, but the edits don't get tracked, so you can't tell. I'd also try and be on IRC as much as possible to help any urgent requests. Other miscellany I plan to do with my mop include WP:AIAV when the Wikicon (the real name is blocked on my network, so refrain from using it) goes up, closing WP:MFD and WP:AFD, and possibly a little help at WP:DRV Otherwise, miscellaneous protection, unrotection, and wherever help is needed!


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A: It's hard to be proud of contributing to an article on something so loathsome, but my copyedits to MySpace (see contribs) are pretty good, especially if you go back to my first edits to the article. I saved the Belkin and HughesNet articles from corporate spam and propaganda, wrote articles on Conserve School and The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail that I need to finish, and all those general little bugfixes in articles. I'm proud to be a Wikipedian.


 * 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: Have I? I'm not going to pretend that I'm spotless, or a model Wikipedian. I did some pretty stupid things which cost me adminship last time, that I've tried my best never to do again. See my last RFA for the ones I was very uncivil in (I've changed! I hope). Recently, Death Note episode summaries had copyvios in them, so I removed them. Since I forgot the essential link to the summary, a user added them back in, thinking I did it maliciously. I then, after commenting on his talk page, reverted 14 articles (admin would have helped there), and then the user told me I was being reckless with my copyvio removals, even after seeing proof. Ah well, just another day. There have been a few other minor ones involving MySpace that I hope I handled well.
