Floaterfluss
Final (1/7/0); ended 19:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I am going to close this nomination early as the consensus is that Floaterfluss requires more experience in all pertinent Wikipedia matters - article editing; vandal fighting, issuing warnings and reporting to WP:AIV; participation in XfD discussions with quotes of policies and guidelines where appropriate. This will also give this editor a sure idea of where and when to apply the admin tools, something that is not apparent in the answers below. (aeropagitica) 20:05, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Self-nomination. I am a lean, mean, wikifying machine. Although I've only been here for while, I have so much time on my hands that it's almost sickening. In the short time I've been here, I have created 16 articles and removed 115+ instances of vandalism, among many other things. I created the Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana article, the Scott Safran article, and the Walter Day article. I have also fixed 50+ links that originally linked to marijuana (a redirect), changing the links to go to the cannabis (drug) article. If I am made an admin, I promise to fight vandals so hard that they'll go crying back to their mothers. (talk) (contribs) 18:31, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * 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 will create articles that are needed and remove vandalism using my special technique (use the search box to find articles containing words that are almost always used in a vandalizing way, like "coolest", "lol", "sucks", etc.) I will attempt to enforce the strictest punishment on any and all vandals that cross my path. No longer shall Wikipedia suffer the wraths of being "on wheels" or its high school articles being vandalized regarding the size of the principal's reproductive organs. I will also help delete non-notable articles and help un-delete them if they become notable enough.


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?

The aforementioned things, such as clearing out 115+ instances of vandalism, fixing the marijuana links, and I am also quite proud of some articles I have started: Walter Day, Scott Safran, kill screen, Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana, Robert R., and others.


 * 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?

Yes. They usually regard misspellings in the page titles and moving said pages, like moving the New antisemitism article to New anti-Semitism (go type "antisemitism" in Microsoft Word, it'll instantly change it to "anti-Semitism), the Canceled Superman films article (which should have two L's), and the like. It really irks me.

Also, I've just created another article, this time on Robert R.. It's a good article on a very notable person, so read up if you have the time.

Discussion



Support
 * 1) Moral support You seem like a good editor, but I'm afraid this request is probably too early to have any chance of passing. I suggest you withdraw and try again in a couple of months. -- Majorly  ( Talk ) 19:11, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) Oppose. I appreciate your dedication to the project, but I feel that you have too little experience on Wikipedia. You joined on November 4, 2006, and you edited heavily in November, but sorta died off in December. You have been a good vandal-fighter and article-builder, and I commend you for your work in this namespaces, but if you want to be an admin, you need to have more edits in the Wikipedia-namespace (at least a few hundred), and also more edits in general (2000+ is a good number). I suggest you withdraw the RfA after receiving some more RfA votes, and then consider re-applying once you have more experience with the project.  Nish kid 64  18:39, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) (edit conflict)Oppose-You've only been here for two months. You're too knew. It also doesn't seem like you need the tools that much. One of your reasons is to create articles. You don't need to be a sysop to do that. Lastly, you only have 600 something edits. --TeckWizTalk Contribs@ 18:42, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose You only have 600 edits, and you appearently don't know what what the sysops tools are. You lack Wikipedia space-edits, but a good vandal-fighter. Recommend editor review.-- PrestonH  | talk  |  contribs  |  editor review  | 18:46, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Weak Oppose. I'm not one to count edits, but your lack of Wikipedia namespace edits show a lack of working with process/procedure. Good faith nom, of course, but just needs more time and familiarity with the system. ^ demon [omg plz] 18:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Oppose I'm sorry, but you just need more experience. TSO1D 19:28, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose per above and Q1 did not leave me inspired. &mdash; Arjun  19:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose Sorry, too early. Work on the advice you receive in this RfA, and come back after becoming more familiar with the policies here and with some more edits. ← A NAS  Talk? 19:50, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
