Mairi
Final (35/2/1) ended 05:10   8 October 2005 (UTC)

– Mairi is closing in rapidly on 3000 edits (see here) in just over a year as a Wikipedian. A very conscientious and busy worker at the Stub-sorting WikiProject, Mairi has also done a reasonable amount of vandal-reverting and other tasks that rollback would be very useful for. Edit history is in a useful cross-section of namespaces, and a glance at Mairi’s talk page gives a good indication of positive interactions with other wikipedians. Hand Mairi a mop, folks! Grutness...  wha?  05:10, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) Delete nn roadcruft --SPUI (talk) 21:58, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Are you sure you're voting in the right place? &mdash; J I P | Talk 09:53, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) ' Neutral'. Same concern as with User:Quale above. +3,000 edits and only 64 on Talk? I would want to see more exchanges with other editors. If he promises more involvement with other editors, I will support. &asymp; jossi &asymp; 00:54, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll promise to make an effort to interact more with other editors (on Talk as well as other namespaces). I also think my contributions on WP:WSS/P, WP:WSS/D and WP:SFD show some interaction with others. And it's 'she', by the way ;) --Mairi 01:48, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Note that I deliberately avoided using he/she issue in my nomination :) Grutness...  wha? 
 * I was pleased with that :) --Mairi 21:25, 3 October 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 read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. One of the main things I'd like to do is help with the continual backlong at WP:SFD. I periodically go thru Short Pages, for which the ability to delete pages would be quite useful. Rollback would be convenient for the occasional vandal-reverting. The ability to resolve copy-paste moves would also be useful, as I come across those fairly often, particularly with newer articles.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. While I'm pleased with my varied contributions to WP:WSS, I don't think there's any one thing in particular there that I'm especially proud of. Except for perhaps my almost-daily checks of Recent Changes for new stub templates, to try to bring some order to the multiplication of stub categories. The article I'm most pleased with my contributions to is Minifigures, although it's still very much a work in progress. I think I've made significant contributions to Gallery of flags by design, along with numerous other editors. I'm also pleased with my translation of Jaime Nunó from the Spanish Wikipedia article.
 * 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 haven't been in any significant conflicts, or any that have caused me stress. A few editors have been unhappy when I've nominated newly-created stub templates for deletion, but I've dealt with that by calmly explaining my reasoning and what standard policy is, and pointing them towards the deletion discussion so they can voice their opinion (in the case of those who didn't know where SfD was). For future conflicts I'd try to behave similarly, listen to the views of other editors and try to achieve consensus before taking any drastic actions.
