With a growing community such as Wikipedia, there are things to fix (in articles) and conflicts to resolve. I am highly familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I am very experienced at solving conflicts (the office will give any boss that experience) of many kinds. While maitenence will probably be a large portion of my time on Wikipedia, I will make sure that I can bettr Wikipedia as a community as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vistro (talk • contribs) 00:59, 4 November 2007 (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 admin work do you intend to take part in?

A: As I generally restrict myself to cleanup, maintenance, and conflict resolution, I will use Admin tools to to bigger and better things for the site as well as its users.

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

A: All of the maintenance! It's not much at first sight, but when all maintenance efforts it looked at as a whole, it really makes Wikipedia seem more professional, and not just "some site".

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: I don't usually edit articles except to change/add formatting, or remove tags. Because of this, I have not gotten into an edit war. I plan to deal with future (inevitable) conflicts, either directly or indirectly involving me, with kind words, and common sense.

Oppose

1. Oppose, sorry, just not enough experience or need for the tools. Dreamy ^§ 00:28, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
   1. To elaborate, your only contributions in the Wikipedia Space are this RfA, so that doesn't show me how you have proved the need for the tools. Dreamy ^§ 00:32, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
   2. I would suggest withdrawal from this RfA. Dreamy ^§ 00:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
2. Oppose I do not agree with editcountis, but 106 edits (when reviewed) is far too few on which to base any decision as regards suitability. The only thing that I can ascertain is that you need to complete edit summaries with your edits. Spend some time around the place, and you will understand why your request is far too early.

3. Oppose per Dreamafter. Honestly, two days of active editing isn't really enough experience. But, as regards your stated aims of maintenance and cleanup, you don't really need admin tools to improve Wikipedia. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 00:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
4. Oppose per everyone, and there's no description about Vistro, and the answers are painfully short. Sorry, and better luck next time! JONATHAN ^{Go green!} 00:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
