- YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE USER nima baghaei 22:13, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Hey you guys. I have been a member of Wikipedia for quite some time now. I have uploaded many images, created a userbox, I have helped produce and even fix templates and infoboxes, and I have created and updated many articles. My main area of interest in Wikipedia has been in the exopolotics section (UFOs, extraterrestrials, etc...). I have followed guidelines, and I have tried my best to moderate as many pages as I can. -nima baghaei 22:13, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

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 participants:
 * Questions for the candidate
 * 1. What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog and Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
 * A: I would no doubt be doing Requested moves (there are UFO articles everwhere that can be merged into one main article... its just really messy). I would also be doing Copyright problems especially with pictures and copy/paste descriptions of events, organizations, and people.  Also Untagged images, I always notice images that dont have tags here and there with no warnings on them to get tags on them. I would also work with Abuse reports, this has been a big problem in Ufologist articles.


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A: Steven M. Greer - this is my favorite ... I basically rewrote this entire article, updated, added all the pictures, improved the links, etc... It initially was very poorly written and biased, so I aligned it towards a neutral tone. Template:UFOs - this is also another one of my favorites because I put so much time into it, and it really helps make the UFO section in Wikipedia much easier to browse and update.


 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A: Nope, I dont recollect any conflict.  Some people have posted suggestions on how I can improve, but no one has ever attacked me (:O).  You just have to be calm, thats all.  Try to figure out what the problem is, and get other admin to help out to if needed, but there is no need to worsen a problem because it may lead to article vandalism in the future.

Oppose
 * 1) Pretty much all your edits have been this month. Oppose, keep improving and doing what you're doing, try applying again in 4 months. Wizardman 22:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose due to lack of experience. I think what you have done is good, but I think it would be good to wait several months. Meanwhile, I suggest continuing as you are right now by doing a good job. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihon joe 23:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose. Nima is certainly an enthusiastic contributor, but I see no XfD or other Wikispace involvement, very little interaction with other users and an admitted lack of experience with conflict resolution. A good enough editor, to be sure, but no need for the tools. A Train take the 23:11, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose Please, I encourage you to read up on Policies and Guidelines. Also, I encourage you to view recent RfA's, especially the unsuccesful ones. They really tell you a lot about how RfAs operate. Thanks. Imageboy1 23:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Oppose.Come back in six months, and after doing some of the same good work and contributing to the Wikipedia name space, come back if you still want to help as an admin. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 23:18, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose I believe you are on the right track but still lack some of the needed experience for sysop tools (such as dealing with copyright issues, the deletion process, page protection, enacting necessary blocks, etc.) Get involved in some Wiki-space and contribute to more XfD discussions.  Come back within 3-4 months and attempt another run.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk)  23:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) Strong oppose - The user hasn't made a single manual edit summary. Come back in about 6 months. Also, a b'crat might want to speedy close this to avoid an ugly pile-on. PTO 23:29, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose more experience required I think, do some XFD work, get more involved with other editors, and try again! The Rambling Man 23:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 9) Oppose No experience in admin-related tasks such as vandal fighting/warnings and XfD/policy discussions. Work hard at these for ~6 months before reapplying. Withdrawal from this RfA is suggested at this time. (aeropagitica) 00:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 10) Oppose per Persian Poet Gal. Michael 02:44, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 11) Oppose You seem to have the majority of your edits in the past month and not much admin-like tasks. If you get more experience in vandal fighting, policy, and spread out your edits over the next few months you will have my support then.  Darth  griz 98 03:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) Oppose For Now I like your dedication to Wikipedia this month, however previous months fail to show the same enthusiasm. Come back after a few more 1000-edit months and I think you'll find yourself holding a mop.  Gan  fon  23:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Is this a neutral or oppose opinion? --210 physicq  ( c ) 02:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Neutral I am !voting here rather than in the oppose section only to avoid contributing to a pile-on. You have limited experience on the project, with almost no input to WP:NAMESPACE. I earnestly suggest that, to avoid suffering repeated hurtful input, you withdraw this nomination and re-submit it in perhaps three months. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthony.bradbury (talk • contribs)
 * 2) Neutral. You are definitely enthusiastic, but there's not enough experience in Wikipedian functions. You should also use edit summaries.  bibliomaniac 1  5  01:24, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Neutral I like your enthusiasm, but you need more experience in Wikipedia's norms.-- danntm T C 04:20, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Neutral You're not doing anything wrong, so if you up your contributing rate, get more involved in admin-like activities, and reapply in a few months, everything should go well :) In the meantime, you should probably withdraw, as it's unlikely you'll get very many supporters at this point in time. All the best, riana_dzasta 04:47, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Neutral to avoid pile on. Suggest quick withdrawl, as the nomination wasn't even done correctly. AQu01rius (User &#149; Talk) 05:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
