SWD316
[ Vote here] (0/10/2) ending 05:03 28 August 2005 (UTC)

This is a self-nomination. I created a user account on July 10, 2005 but I have been on Wikipedia longer than that. (about 6 months) under IP addresses. I currently as I write 4,207 edits under this name. I will try to better Wikipedia if I have admin powers. Feel free to contact me here.


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept this nomination SWD316

Support
 * Merovingian (t) (c) 05:40, August 21, 2005 (UTC) Changed to neutral.

Oppose
 * 1) Most edits don't have an edit summary. Oleg Alexandrov 05:26, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Wow.  Almost 1,000 edits to his user page...in a little over a month...out of over 4,000 edits total.  I've been here almost two years, and I haven't topped 500 edits on my user page.  Sorry, just not enough experience.  R ADICAL B ENDER  &#9733;  05:42, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Agree with RadicalBender. Also needs to learn to use the preview button more often. K1Bond007 05:49, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Not yet. Glad to have you on Wikipedia, but I don't think you're ready to be an administrator. I think the questions should have been answered already, for a self-nomination. Also, use of the vprotected tag on your user page is not appropriate; this should not be placed on unprotected pages. You have a very high edit count, but it seems it takes many edits to accomplish one thing, such as the seven edits to WP:RFA to place this nomination. Increased use of the "preview" function would be helpful, I feel. Try to become a little more familiar with Wikipedia policy if you would like to become an administrator. Other than that, keep up your good work. &mdash; Knowledge Seeker &#2470; 05:52, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) Nope.  Probably an okay user, but the questions have not been answered, not enough use of the preview button, and the incorrect use of the protected template all bother me.  Also, while I like your enthusiasm on the sport of Wrestling, I feel you're too focused on this one area; also, I'm not a fan of how most of your articles are short stubs that don't really assert notability.  I might support in a later nomination, but not now.   ral  315  06:14, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose. Even though I have had a good experience with SWD316, I do not feel that he is experienced enough to be an admin. He also inflates his number of edits by saving without previewing.--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91  ($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|)  15:37, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) No. Lacks edit summaries. Hasn't even accepted own nomination or answered the questions yet. Plus, has only been here for five weeks. Acetic Acid 17:56, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose- not experienced enough User:Astrotrain
 * 9) Will support in 1-2 months. --Merovingian (t) (c) 23:02, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * 10) Oppose- membership in Wikipedians for Decency causes some concern as I'm not sure that group is fully aligned with Wikipedia principles and policies. Kaldari 23:51, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Neutral Comments Questions for the candidate
 * Will decide when he answers the candidate questions. --Merovingian (t) (c) 05:46, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Neutral leaning towards oppose.  You need to use the Preview button more, and use edit summaries.  And answer the admin questions.  Guettarda 05:54, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Please be around for some more time, and someday you shall surely be one of the administrators. --Bhadani 08:17, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I've been trying to edit things other than wrestling but haven't been to successful in that area. Also please read the self-nomination paragraph again, I have been here for a total of 7 months and a week, just a month and a week ago did I create the account. SWD316 (talk to me)

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. I read the administrators reading list and I would trying to help out more in the areas of the general duties and the vandalism category.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. There are a few articles in which I am pleased. Some I dont have enough info on and I inform others on the status of them. I am a particulary pleased on a few because of the time I spent and how much I researched it.
 * 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 really had any conflicts with anyone. I am pretty calm when dealing with the trouble-makers. I usually inform someone of what they have done and do what it necessary.
