[edit]- User:Raul654: I'd like to be an admin. I've been here since August and in that time, I've made 943 edits (mostly science, science fiction, computer, or history related - most of my time is put into writing new articles or massively expanding existing ones). The reason I ask is that I want vandalism quashing powers. --Raul654 11:35, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

- Have you been involved in any disagreements we can look at, to see how you acted during them? I like what I've seen of your general editing. Jamesday 16:48, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I think this([1]) is a excellent example of Raul654's diplomatic demeanor that he displays when resolving issues. He is quite pleasent to converse with. Alexandros 17:17, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Three that I can think of. (1) On the List of Famous Experiments, someone (user: DJ Clayworth) moved all of the chemistry experiments into physics. To me, this was not an improvement, so I moved them back, without realizing he had made an entry into the discussion page. I apologized and we talked it out on the discussion page. (2) The second one was on Lee Atwater. I admit it - the original article I wrote was POV (it's pretty hard to write NPOV for a hatchetman). Other people came in and changed it, and the only change I objected to was calling bounce polling a research technique (it's not - see Talk:Lee Atwater) (3) On the Theory of everything page, someone posted about Gene Ray. I took it out, believing it has no place an encylopedia (at best, he's a crank). Most of the subsequent edits pretty much bear that out. In the end, someone created the List of speculative or fringe theories and linked to it there. I agreed with this (and when it came up in the votes for deletion, I voted to keep the page). Basically, I make a conscious effort to avoid inflammatory articles and edits (not hard in the areas I do), and I try to fix them when I see them. --Raul654 17:20, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)

- Support. I have personally disagreed with Raul654, and found the experience stress free. -- Jussi-Ville Heiskanen 16:32, Dec 13, 2003 (UTC)
