Leithp
final (33/0/0) ending 17:15, 17 December 2005 (UTC) (UTC)

– I've been a registered user since the tail end of March 2005. Most of my contributions have been to articles but recently I've been spending more time vandal-fighting. I'd like access to the admin tools (mostly roll-back) in order to make this process a bit easier. For edit-countitis sufferers, I've got 3568 edits (2745 in the mainspace). This is inflated by a ridiculous amount of stub-sorting I did a week or two ago, though. Leithp (talk) 16:59, 10 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Yes, it's a self-nom...... Leithp (talk) 17:14, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Support
 * 1) Strong support. He's an excellent contributor and very dedicated guy who will surely make a great admin! SoLando (Talk) 17:28, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Support. Looks good, based on reviewing Leithp's edit history and a bunch of diffs. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 19:36, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Support, looks good. &mdash;Kirill Lokshin 20:06, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) BIG BAGPIPE HEAPED WITH HAGGIS SUPPORT. But the nominator has failed to mention the candidate is also co-author of the (hopefully soon-to-be) Featured Article on General Sir Richard O'Connor. Without his encouragement, help, strategically placed edits and sage advice, I would never have had the courage or confidence to BE BOLD and put it forward. He is a great contributor, colleague and friend, he will make a great addition to the Cabal as well.--R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 20:41, 10 December 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 check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
 * A. Mostly recent changes patrol, although reviewing new-pages would also be made easier by being able to speedy delete.


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. Most of my contributions have been copyediting, or odd paragraphs and sentences here and there. Brian Horrocks was the first article I started (if I remember right) and I've been slowly expanding that. He was an important figure in a number of WWII operations and it surprised me that there was no article prior to me starting it. I also quite like Craigellachie Bridge, my only DYK entry, mostly because it eases my guilt about not working on more structural engineering articles.


 * 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 been involved in the odd content dispute, a debate over Bernard Montgomery's Irish service springs to mind, but nothing that wasn't conducted in a reasonably civilised manner. I'm a fairly calm person though, and it takes a fair bit to rile me. If I ever get angry about something, I'd like to think that I'd be sensible enough to walk away and let someone else take up the argument. And if no-one else will argue my case, well I'm probably wrong. I'm also fairly fortunate, in some ways, in that most of the articles I edit are wiki-backwaters.
