Egil
[ Vote here]  (46/0/0) ending 19:46 November 3, 2005 (UTC)

– Egil Kvaleberg has been an active contributor to Wikipedia since January 2003. During this time he has managed to accumulate over 12-thousand edits, approximately 10% of which are to the project and project talk namespace. Egil has a number of special interests, one of which includes being a key contributor to WikiProject Norway, where he maintains the Wiki bot User:Nobot for the purposes overseeing pages for Norwegian counties and municipalities. With the exception of his user pages, all of his contributions to Wikipedia are multi-licensed with Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike. In addition to his edits to Norwegian-related subjects and other articles, Egil has logged a significant amount of time reversing vandalism, and he frequently makes good use of edit summaries. He has expressed an interest in becoming an administrator, and I believe now is the time to make it happen. Hall Monitor 19:46, 27 October 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 would mostly concentrate on vandalism on my watchlist (I believe it is around 5k pages), as I have been. But hopefully I would have time to at least spend some time on other housekeeping chores.


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. Probably the WikiProject Geographical coordinates, which is a concept for adding geographical coordinates to articles, and link them to various map resources. It is still in a trial phase, linking to an external server that I run, but even the trial version seems to have created a reasonable degree of interest &mdash; more than 5000 articles had such coordinates last time I counted. The software I wrote for this is documented on Gis; perhaps one day it may be considered for inclusion in Wikipedia proper, in which case it would allow further functionality for the geo-ccordinates, such as neighborhood information and eventually, automated maps.


 * 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 guess, with one exception, issues has always seemed to be solvable in reasonable manner via discussion. People here seems reasonable. The exception is described in Requests for arbitration/Rktect, which now seems to have been solved (I hope).
