final (128/0/0) ending 00:31, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

– Rune Welsh is an editor who has been helping Wikipedia since April 2005, and in that time period, he has been of tremendous help. His contributions to the article namespace have been concentrated in Mexico and Chemistry articles, and they include three Featured articles and three Did you knows, more than most editors have. Also, he is very active in the Wikipedia namespace, being a regular at Featured article candidates, Featured list candidates, Articles for deletion and Requests for adminship. In total, he has racked 4967 edits, and he is also very knowledgeable of Wikipedia and copyright policy, and always asks how to do something if he doesn't know it. I believe he would be a great addition to the corps of administrators, and counts with my complete support. Tito xd (?!? - help us) 05:58, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Intended as a compliment... I suspect some of us (well, maybe only me?? I dunno...), on seeing a Durin nomination, feel comfy with supporting the nominee without even needing to do any research of their own. His noms are that well researched and his candidates that solid. Your candidate noms are almost that well researched. Helps clear it up?  + +Lar: t/c 18:23, 18 March 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'd like to deal with the backlog in Copyright problems and Gmaxwell's live reports dealing with images for speedy deletion. I also keep an eye already at Administrator intervention against vandalism and would assist in blocking "certified" vandals and fixing up their mischief. -- Run<font color="#339900">e  Welsh | ταλκ 14:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. Raney nickel was the first article I started in Wikipedia and is now a Featured Article with the kind help of the folks from WikiProject Chemicals. I'm also particularly proud of biographies on relatively obscure individuals like Enrique Alciati, Camillo Agrippa and Murray Raney. I also enjoy very much drawing structures of chemical compounds and have even set up a small tutorial to assist other editors with this task. -- Run<font color="#339900">e Welsh | ταλκ 14:00, 15 March 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. Probably the most stressful conflict I've been involved with was a POV dispute in Andrés Manuel López Obrador with an anon user (it's in the article's talk page, for all to see). After much arguing against what I think were too many pro-POV additions by the anon, I asked other editors to look into this matter and left the article. I do believe it's better to stay away from matters once things get highly stressful. The encyclopedia is too big and wide to lose sleep over what are ultimately trivial matters. -- Run<font color="#339900">e  Welsh | ταλκ 14:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
