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

A: I am regularly involved in anti-vandalism using Huggle, and would like to further this being able to block persistent vandals. I am also involved in Articles for deletion, and would like to further my involvement by being able to delete pages.

What do you expect from the admin coaching process?
Q: How can I help you prepare for an RFA?

A: You can help prepare me by teaching me any important policies and also teaching me any extra wiki-etiquette that I may need to know.

Standard (mandatory) RFA questions
Answer these questions:

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


 * A: I intend to take part in page deletion and user/ip blocking.

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


 * A: As a wikignome I haven't made massive edits to wikipedia. However, I would say my best contributions are when I generate a random page a get it up to B-class standard by adding references, links, headings, and most commonly, infoboxes.

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?
