Nomination
Pepperpiggle (talk · contribs) – Hello, I am Pepperpiggle, and I have been editing Wikipedia for just over 1 year (my first edit was on March 1, 2009), and took [a what I now know is called] a Wikibreak, and resumed editing on May 12th. I feel that I am ready to become an administrator because I have learned from my mistakes, and have experience in quite a few of the Admin areas, (mainly AIV, but also RPP, AFD, and UAA). My edits started out small, such as linking pages, but I have grown, to create my own pages (I have created 30 pages, and 105 redirects), work against vandals, do some New Page and Random Page patrolling, and working in the admin areas mentioned above. With the admin tools, I would be able to delete pages, rather than having to request them for Speedy Deletion, and other such tasks, which would downsize the work of other admins. I will answer any additional questions you have when I have time. Pepper∙piggle 14:29, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
- 1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
- A: I intend to work mostly in the RPP and AIV areas, as those are the area that I feel I have the most experience. I also plan to work in the area of deleting the candidates for Speedy Deletion, as that would be a step up from adding Speedy Deletion templates to pages.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- A: My best contribs are either my new page patrolling, or my anti-vandalism work. Those have been my primary focuses, previously vandalism fighting with Rollback and Huggle, but now a lot more new page patrolling. Also, I find that the pages on roads I have created are some of my best contribs, because if there is a navbox on a particular topic, and the navbox has red links in it, it is good to start those pages, as the topic is at least notable enough to be placed on a Navbox.
- 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: No, I have not really be majorly stressed by other editors at this point, some minor examples being when a user went to any random page and added, or replaced the picture with “NSDAP Reichsadler.svg” in which the user had made so many edits that the only way to stop him/her was to block, and when an IP made particularly unsettling remarks (if you really must know) on my userpage.
Additional question from iridescent
- 4. (Note that there's no right answer to this one) Hog's Back Road (a very early article of yours) has been tagged {{Notability}} for some time now, and there are a lot of very short road-stubs among your contribs. As WP:50k and WP:Notability (highways) never reached consensus, we currently have no policy on roads other than the WP:N core. As almost every road in the world has been mentioned in local newspapers on at least two occasions, they almost all technically meet the "multiple, independent, non trivial coverage" criteria; however, it's obviously not possible for us to have a separate article on every road in the world. Do you think that (in general, not just for roads) we should strive to have an article on anything that's been mentioned in multiple independent sources, or do you think there's a "natural limit" of significance below which we shouldn't be covering topics? If the latter, do you think different standards should apply to biographical and non-biographical topics?

Oppose
- Sadly, oppose because candidate does not have a great deal of experience in adminey areas and has only about 1.5k not automated edits. Sorry, insufficient experience for me. Pmlineditor ∞ 15:05, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
