Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Stormie

User:Stormie
Stormie has been a full contributor since March 2004, and does an excellent job of patrolling for vandals and of producing his own work. Definitely should be an admin. RickK 21:08, Jul 28, 2004 (UTC)

Note: This nomination has been removed twice so far, once by Lir and once by Merovingian. Somehow this made me vote for him. Chris 73 | Talk 11:02, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Chris, I think both of those were accidents falling out of the strange section duplicating/destroying events that seem to happen on heavily edited pages, but regardless, your vote of support is much appreciated. :-) &mdash;Stormie 12:40, Jul 30, 2004 (UTC)
 * You're probably right. I contacted Merovingian, and he apologized. Anyway, you have my vote ;-) Chris 73 | Talk 11:41, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters, if you care to respond:
 * 1. Have you read the section on Administrators?
 * A. Yes, I have, and have actually been considering putting myself up as a self-nomination. Rick beat me to it. :-)
 * 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.
 * A. I'm quite an active Recent Changes watcher, so I find myself quite often reverting idiot vandalism and tagging nonsense articles for speedy deletion - admin privs would make this job easier. Also I'm reasonably active on WP:VFD, and would be happy to help out with implementing the keeping & deleting at the back end of the queue, as well as voting at the front end.
 * 4. In your opinion, what article have you contributed the most succesfully and helpfully to?
 * A. The work I'm proudest of on Wikipedia is mostly rugby-related - I've created some new articles on players, worked heavily on some competitions (added a lot of info to the Tri Nations Series and National Provincial Championship, and created Ranfurly Shield), and keep things up to date on Current sports events each weekend. :-)
 * 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?)
 * A. I do the recent changes watching, copyedit & wikify new articles, and browse through Cleanup for things to do. I've also put some hard yards into gruntwork like Topbanana's possibly misspelled links list and the list of French articles with no English interwiki link. Also, I've recently been trying to help mediate some edit conflicts on X-Men, although I'm not sure how successful I've been, since a formal request for mediation was made after I started trying to help. :-)
 * 6. 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 will deal with it in the future?
 * A. Can't say I've ever been involved in any particularly stressful or grievous conflicts yet, thankfully. Worst I've gotten has been the occasional anon vandalising my user page because I reverted some other vandalism - and that's more likely to make me laugh than make me stressed. &mdash;Stormie 23:50, Jul 28, 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks and good luck!
