Final (1/9/0); Ended 00:45, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

- This user has been editing Wikipedia since August 06’, but only recently has he begun to shine with his anti-Vandalism and new page patrol contributions. Although he has never been able to fully edit or show his complete knowledge he has spent hours reverting vandalism. He wishes to one day edit an article and grandfather it into “Good” or “Fa” status. This user feels he will be able to better combat vandalism and new page patrol if he were an administrator. Although this user is still in an educational institution he still is able to fully contribute during his free time. After a consensus has been reached this user promise’s to get right to work combating Vandalism to his max and donating his time to all of Wikipedia’s needs. He mainly wishes to become a SysOp to speed up new article deletion and vandalism consequence. Although this user knows the odds of consensus is partly low for the user has no main article edits this user plans to Be Bold. This user is open to any questions about himself or his edits.

Questions for the candidate
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: Mainly anti-Vandalism and new page patrol work, but also any other request from editor to step into situation and give my two cents.


 * 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
 * A: I feel my newly found dedication to Maryland based articles, or my recent changes patrol work.


 * 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: No, not really I’ve had some people dispute with me about a Revert but that all has been solved with an apology or an acknowledgment of mistake on either party’s side.

Optional questions from User:Dlohcierekim, three of which he lifted form User:Benon who got them from Tawker, JoshuaZ, Rob Church, NSLE .


 * 4. Under what circumstances would you indefinitely block a user without any prior direction from Arb Com?


 * A-


 * 5. Suppose you are closing an AfD where it would be keep if one counted certain votes that you suspect are sockpuppets/meatpuppets and would be delete otherwise. The RCU returns inconclusive, what do you do? Is your answer any different if the two possibilities are between no consensus and delete?
 * A-


 * 6. Do you believe there is a minimum number of people who need to express their opinions in order to reasonably close an AfD? If so, what is that number? What about RfDs and CfDs?


 * A-


 * 7. You are RCPatrolling. You see an article has been edited by an anon. The page history indicates the previous entry was by a Bot reverting a page blank by the same anon. The current version of the article has a note at the top of the page from the anon saying "THE ARTICLE IS A COPY AND PASTE COPYVIO FORM ANOTHER SITE” What do you do?  Thanks,  Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  00:15, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) --U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 23:39, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Oppose sorry, but all your edits are clean-ups using AWB. Plus, the answers you gave to the questions leave alot to be desired.  I suggest you promptly withdraw, turn of AWB for a month or so, work on article building and some XFDs, then come back next year.    Sasha  Call   23:26, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment unrelated to my oppose vote why did you write your nominating statement in the third person? At first glance I thought another user nominated you from the way it was written. Sasha 23:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Just in case you didn't notice, there's a section up there titled . — Dorftrottel⁠ 00:30, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) I'm sorry, but the questions do not explain what adminship is or what you plan to do as an admin. I also echo Sasha's comment here.  O2  (息 • 吹) 23:29, 13 November 2007 (GMT)

 * 1) Oppose This user's answers to questions are not good enough; they are way too short. To be an administrator, answers must be long (like at least six sentences each) and good enough for admin candidates. Try again in a few months with better answers and I'll support.

 * "To be an administrator, answers must be long (like at least six sentences each)"? I suppose you're just kidding, right? — Dorftrottel⁠ 00:27, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I mean that the answers to questions need to be good enough; Daven200520's answers were not good enough. NHRHS2010  talk  00:42, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) denomstrated that he has no need for the tools currently by his answers to the question. Sorry.--SJP 23:44, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose. Gives no real reason why tools are needed. Also seems to avoid letting users know this is a self-nom. -- Jack 00:05, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose - Lack of experience.  Lara  ❤  Love  00:14, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Sympathetic oppose. Get more experience in various areas, and ideally wait for someone else to offer to nominate you in a few months. — Dorftrottel⁠ 00:27, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Oppose Don't take this too hard, it's not a reflection on your edits, this was just a bad RfA.Keepscases 00:35, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose. Not enough experience in admin-related areas.  Too much reliance on AWB.  Answers don't reflect a need for the tools.  I recommend withdrawing this RFA, do some work in the Wikipedia namespace, and try a second time in a few months.  If you ever have any questions about anything, I'm always available on my talk page.  Useight 00:42, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
