Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

A: One of my favorite areas of Wikipedia editing is to take part in vandal-fighting. My recent changes patrolling often leads to reporting repeat vandals to AIV. As an admin, I see myself mainly blocking repeat vandals that I come across in my recent changes patrolling or ones that get reported by other vandal-fighters.

2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

A: Aside from my recent changes vandal-fighting, I definitely take great pride in my contributions to Big Brother related articles. In particular, I've worked with Alucard and many other editors toward getting Big Brother 11 (U.S.) up to "Good Article" status, as well as constantly updating the Big Brother 7, 8, 9, 10, and currently 12 articles (including several seasons of the British and Australian versions) as they aired (or are airing). Also, I was pleased to see an article I created be showcased on the Main Page as a WP:DYK blurb.

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: One of the prominent conflicts over editing that I had some involvement with was based on the coloring of voting history boxes and infoboxes in Big Brother related articles. Although the argument got very heated, I managed to keep cool and express my opinion without making any controversy. As far as other users causing me stress goes, it hasn't happened to date. I just don't let anything that goes on in Wikipedia get at me, as I have a lot more to worry about in real life and at college or than just about anything that happens on here. How would I deal with it in the future? I'd probably just keep a cool head, talk out my points, and if it got to be too much, log off for a few hours and do something else to take my mind off of it.

Oppose

1. Oppose Sorry to be the one to start this list, but I would like to see more contributions to the wiki, it's just too early. Diego Grez (talk) 21:13, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
2. I love your username, but I can't really put aside the worries I have against putting someone with so few recent edits, aside from Huggle and other anti-vandalism work, into the position of administrator. I can see that you mean well but unless you can show us that you really have kept in touch with all the changes that have taken place on Wikipedia recently and are familiar with the aspects of work that you'd need to do as an administrator I can't really support an RfA at this time. —Soap— 21:14, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
