Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Jobe6

Jobe6
[ Vote here] (12/11/0) ending 04:23 12 September 2005 (UTC) - I have been actively contributing to Wikipedia since June 2005 and have 1800 edits and almost 1000 edits to articles. I participate in Vfd or Afd, Cfd and occasionally Tfd and am very familiar with the policies around here. I am also on RC patrol from time to time. Although i was a very minor vandal way back in November 2004, I have not vandalized pages since then and after a long break from Wikipedia have become a more mature contributor. -- Jobe 6   04:23, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

 * 1) I believe that this user has not been editing for long enough as a non-vandal. My standards state 3+ months, and though I am willing to support those who do not meet them if they have other redeeming qualities, I don't see enough in this user to do so. Additionally, past history of vandalism gives me some pause. Oppose. Andre ( talk ) 01:00, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose. Too few edits in too little time.--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91  ($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|)  04:40, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose, too little experience. &mdash; J I P | Talk 09:17, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose. Sorry, but 3 months is my magic line (except once).--Scimitar parley 13:52, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) Oppose per Andrevan, Derktar 23:46, September 6, 2005 (UTC).
 * 6) Oppose It's not because of your past, though. I trust that you have reformed. I've seen it happen before. But since you have only been productively editing since June 25, I've support you after September 25, as you get the good three months in there.  Acetic  ' Acid  00:34, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose. I find it hard to support anyone with only two and a half months of quality edits. Past history of vandalism sets the bar even higher. (But you deserve props for being frank about it and reforming.) --NormanEinstein 20:39, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose, nice edit count, but a very short time. -feydey 21:52, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 9) --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 06:03, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 10) Oppose. Besides being a former vandal and taking off six months (I checked), your user page strikes me as being a bit uncivil.  "Political s***" and "Kick "a** links" for headers just don't sit right with my understanding of WP:Civil.  Yes, you have been making reverts and helpful contribs, but you're too self-centered and absorbed to be an ambassador to new users of Wikipedia.  My advice: become more civil in your use of the English language, learn more new words in the language to help self-expression, and learn from more experienced, respected editors here on the Wikipedia.  Find an area of interest you don't know much about (other than bands and music) and learn and contribute to it.  Then come back and see about adminship.  I hope I've said this in a gentle, constructive way. . . that's my intent here.  Thanks for listening.  --avnative 22:32, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * How is it uncivil? I haven't personally attacked any other wikipedian. Also it seems that you might have not followed WP:Civil because of the "belittling contributors because of their language skills or word choice". It is my user page and I have the right to fix my userpage however i want. I'm not using controversial words in the actual article space. Also i have tried editing in areas of which i had little or no knowledge about and was blasted at and told not to edit in areas of which I was not familiar with. Besides music I have also made contributions in areas of Colonial Viriginian history and also am involved with WikiProject National Football League.

 * 1) Oppose. Only ten weeks of good editing, preceeded by a six month break, preceeded by minor vandalism? What's the harm in waiting? Keep doing good editing, use edit summaries each time for article edits, and in a few months let's re-evaluate for adminship after considering the friendly criticism above.

Neutral
 * 1) Neutral. I added a question for you, though, which I would like you to answer. Andre ( talk ) 23:10, September 5, 2005 (UTC) Moved to oppose.

Comments
 * A chart showing this user's edits along with an total # of edits line is available here: Image:Jobe6-edits.gif. I offer this not as a more refined version of editcountitis, but as just one tool to help evaluate an admin nominee with a somewhat low edit count on Wikipedia. --Durin 15:30, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Although its not very important I can proudly say that i was one of the first if not the first person on the internet to say that Kanye West said his George Bush statement here and also when Chris Rock jokingly said his George Bush hates midgets statement here. It's just an example of how the editing process can allow normal people and now famous news sites to show how fast current events, important or unimportant, can show up on Wikipedia seconds after they happen.

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. The usual RC patrol, Afd,and speedy delete patrol. Rollback feature and block will certainly help.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I'm pleased with my work on William Randolph and many Soundgarden related articles such as singles, albums and related bands.
 * 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've never had any conflicts or edit wars with anybody although numerous anon IPs have caused me some trouble becuase they haven't stopped and I could not block them and when they were listed on Vandalism in Progress no body seemed to do anything.
 * 4. For how long have you been a productive editor? That is to say, at what date did you start editing productively? Andre ( talk ) 23:10, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * A. I've been editing productively since June 25, 2005. Jobe  6  [[Image:Peru flag large.png|20px]] 00:45, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
