King of Hearts
Final '''(75/1/0) ended 21:48, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

– King of Hearts joined Wikipedia in May, 2005 making great edits. This user welcomes other users, reverts vandalized pages, and talks to vanadalizers on their talk page. This user has almost 5,000 edits, and cites his sources on sentences needed for citing sources. This user also nominated articles for deletion and upgrades many different articles in the best way he can. This user really deserves to be an admin and I think he'll make a great one. It's my pleasure to nominate him. ForestH2

Oppose
 * 1) Oppose. This candidate has few real discussions in the Article Talk space.  This one entry (the largest number of edits in Talk is for Blue Whale) is telling: .  The ultimatum given does not bode well for an administrator.  Administrators should have a minimum amount of civility and grace, and I don't see this for King of Hearts. Ted 15:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
 * A: I would like to help with closing AFD's, fighting vandalism with a server-based rollback, blocking persistent vandals, and protecting pages that have undergone frequent vandalism recently. On close cases for discussions like AFD debates, I would evaluate each individual comment separately, and then decide whether to keep, delete, merge, or no consensus (keep). I would also speedy-delete pages per WP:CSD. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;   &spades;  05:06, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A: I have several major "content" articles, contributions, and uploads listed under User:King of Hearts on my user page. When I'm browsing through Wikipedia, I often find a redlink, and I click on it to share what I know. Also, I have continued to fight vandalism, close obvious "keep" AFD discussions, and tag pages with {{subst:afd}}, {{subst:prod}}, or db-reason over the last few months. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;   &spades;  05:10, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * 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: Occasionally, after I revert a vandal's edit and warn them on their talk pages, they'll try to deface my user or talk pages by blanking, adding obscenities, attacks, etc. Sometimes, I get in debates over the title to be used for an article or over other issues such as whether a line in the article is accurate. I try to make such content disputes as minimal as possible by citing reliable sources. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;   &spades;  05:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
