Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Lupo

User:Lupo
User:Lupo is an encyclopedia addict and on Wikipedia since 18 Dec 2003. He has 1713 mainspace edits and 2812 edits altogether. He is active in almost all areas of Wikipedia (WP:RCP, WP:CU, WP:FAC, VfD, WP:CP, WP:SD, etc.). He got three of his new articles on Did you know (Frankfurt kitchen, Short-horned Lizard, Amerigo Vespucci), and is currently working on turning Kitchen into a featured article. A calm and reasonable editor in exchanges with other editors. He has been nominated for adminship before on 25 Mar 2004, and the main objection was the lack of experience on Wikipedia. I believe he has now enough experience and would be an excellent admin. -- Chris 73 | Talk 00:59, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * 14) Acegikmo1 21:58, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC).  This user has comprehensively answered a few questions I had on User talk:Lupo.  I appreciate his responses, which have convinced me that he feels very strongly about some Wikipedia policies and has good reason for doing so.  Lupo has also made many excellent contributions to the encyclopedia.  As such, I believe that he is a trustworthy user.
 * 15) I strongly supported Lupo's failed nomination in March, and I strongly support his (I'm glad to see successful) nomination today. He is an asset to the project. -- Hadal 04:19, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate'

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters, if you care to respond:
 * Oh yeah. The standard questionnaire. My answering here does not relieve any responsible voter from checking my contributions him- or herself and form his or her own opinion.
 * 1. Have you read the section on Administrators?
 * 2. Are you interested in, and do you think you'll have some time to perform, the chores that only sysops have access to do, to help keep Wikipedia up to date?
 * 3. If you become a sysop, which sysop chore or chores (WP:VFD, recent changes, watching for vandals and vandalism, responding to editor requests for assistance, any other) do you especially think you would be able to help with.
 * Answer to (1), (2), and (3): I'm not running for a political office here, and neither am I applying for a job. I accepted the nomination because I'd be willing to expand some of my housekeeping activities a little bit if the community considers me trustworthy enough&mdash;getting the "janitor's keys" would allow me to do some of these chores myself instead of having to ask others to do them. I would have declined Chris's offer for a nomination if I wasn't familiar with the relevant reading list.
 * 4. In your opinion, what article have you contributed the most succesfully and helpfully to?
 * See the nomination statement by Chris, or check my selected contributions.
 * 5. In your opinion, what has your best contribution to the running and maintenance of Wikipedia been? (i.e., have you reverted a bad stretch of vandalism, done extensive work categorizing articles, helped mediate a dispute?)
 * Nothing spectacular. I'm helping out a little bit here and there.
 * 6. Of your Wikipedia edits and experiences thus far, what is your biggest regret? What do you wish you'd done differently?
 * Not having checked up on the nominator of my nomination back in March prior to nomination.
 * Thanks and good luck! -- Cecropia | Talk 05:21, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Lupo 12:14, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)
