AlbertR
[ Vote here] (1/12/2) ending 20:59 7 September 2005 (UTC) - I am nominating myself to be an admin becuase I would like to help with monitoring for vandalism and clearing out the backlogs on several pages. I'll admit that I'm relatively new here, but I do have about 1,200 edits. --Alr 20:59, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

I accept. Alr 21:06, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Support
 * 1) Support, over 400 edits in the Wikipedia namespace is quite enough, and you seem to be familiar with policy. I like your answers to the questions below, and I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be an admin. One and a half months of heavy editing is enough by my standards. Just remember to use edit summaries consistently and you'll be a fine admin. - ulayiti  (talk)  20:34, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) Needs more experience. First edit was only about 7 weeks ago. Looks to be a good start though. Carbonite | Talk 21:06, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose per Carbonite. Will support in two more months. One suggestion for the future - please use edit summaries more frequently. It helps the RC Patrollers out a lot. Acetic  ' Acid  21:56, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 05:12, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Will support in one month. --Merovingian (t) (c) 12:18, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) So far, your edits look good, but you need to spend some more time here. A couple of months later (barring anything catastropic) the vote will probably be changed. Bratsche talk 13:49, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose You need a few more months under your belt before I can support. Whilst you seem to be a very promising contributor, I don't feel you've been exposed to Wikipedia long enough for us to see how well you will cope in conflicts. --Cyberjunkie | Talk 16:49, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose. Insufficient experience. siafu 00:52, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose – too new and no email ID specified. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  14:28, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * 9) Oppose. Too new. CDThieme 23:36, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 10) Oppose. Not sufficiently experienced with less than 2 months here. --Jusjih 03:55, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 11) Oppose for now. Albert you are on the right track.  Keep up the good work and in the future I'll support you. Tony the Marine 04:55, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * 12) Looks like hes biting the newbies oppose Jobe  6  [[Image:Peru flag large.png|20px]] 21:54, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * 13) Extreme Oppose of UltraDoom to anyone who bites a newbie. R  e  dwolf24  (talk) 21:30, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 14) *That's a very minor case of biting there. I wouldn't find 'read the instructions' offensive at all myself. All right, he could have given a link, but still. - ulayiti (talk)   (my RfA)  01:33, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 15) Extreme Oppose of Inexorable Doom cause 7 weeks is ridiculously too little time editing. freestylefrappe 03:07, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) Abstention. Permanent record indicates minor conflict with this user over Template:Idw being put on my user talk page regarding Image:Bcferry.png, but this user subsequently apologized, so I will neither support nor oppose. Denelson83 23:14, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Not enough edits or time. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2005-09-3 04:03

Comments
 * I agree with the oppose votes here more or less. Besides the comments there though seems like a good candidate... maybe in 3 more weeks Ryan Norton T 22:44, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. I am interested in clearing out the backlog on some of the deletion pages, like WP:CP and WP:PUI. I would also like to be able to deal with vandalism more effectively, though I would leave actually blocking users to the more experienced admins for now. Alr 21:06, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I am particuarly pleased with my contributions to Montreal-Mirabel International Airport. I was mostly responsible for getting it featured, and I drew two diagrams for the article. I also reasearched it and added a significant amount of content. Alr 21:06, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. I will freely admit that I have done some things in the past that may not have exactly been good, like nominating Watch/schoolwatch for deletion. I do feel, however that I have grown as a Wikipedia user, and have learned from my mistakes. Aside from those errors, I have not really gotten involved in any pressing disputes. Most controversial edits I've hade have been resolved by discussion. Alr 21:06, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
