Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Karada

Karada
final (13/0/0) ending 18:00 16 November 2004 (UTC)

Karada has been here almost two years and has made over 6,000 edits. He is best known for his work on human sexuality topics. Throughout this difficult subject, he has worked to create accurate, informative articles that avoid advocacy and overuse of clinical terminology. Despite these topics being something of a lightning rod for vandalism and POV advocacy, he has kept his cool. I recommend him for adminship without reservation. uc 19:18, 9 Nov 2004 (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. Preventing vandalism, handling speedy deletes.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. The sexology articles, which started as a whimsy, but are slowly developing into a sound sub-section of the encyclopedia. Still, more work is needed; it would be nice to get the entries up to textbook grade.
 * 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 will deal with it in the future?
 * A. Yes, I have. I try hard to keep my cool, and rely on reasonableness and the community's "invisible hand" to fix conflicts. This works with almost all non-troll editors. In my experience, trolls either get bored, or get dealt with by the community sooner or later. I intend to carry on this way if I'm made a sysop.
