Abce2

Nomination

Abce2 (talk · contribs) – I nominate myself because I feel like I could better help the Wiki. I have been on Wikipedia for six months now. I have only created 1 article, but I have warned many vandals and withstood harrassment with out blowing my top. The first few months I admit that I was, well, stupid. But I have learned from many great admins. I did leave Wikipedia at one time when I was offend by something a user had written, but I realized that it didn't really matter. I also used to bite new users, but I see what I did wrong now. I don't just fight vandals, I also work on articles, cleaning them up. I also enjoy welcoming and helping newcomers. I have participated in RFAs and AFDs, know CSD, and have joined a couple of Wikiprojects, such as Counter Vandalism and Userboxes. I have created a userbox about Koalas (In a nutshell, I know how to do that). I have never been blocked and I have about 10,000 controbutions, but the number of edits doesn't really mean anything. While I did report many stale acounts to UAA, I see now that that was about the biggest mistake of my life here.

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 take part in UAA and AIV, but also warning and blocking vandals.

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

A:

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: There was one time where a sockpuppeting user kept posting disgusting pictures on my talk and user page for around 3 days to a week, and I dealt with it by keeping a cool head, and will do the same.

Oppose

1. Sorry, but not yet. You indicate that one of your indended duties as an administrator would be to work at UAA, and while your reports there are largely very helpful there have been some recently that are somewhat questionable and didn't merit a report. No outstanding problems but I just believe you need a little more time to refine yourself before picking up the mop. Shereth 21:52, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
2. No per answers to all questions above. Nick (talk) 21:53, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
3. Strong Oppose - Per incredibly dodgy work at UAA. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 21:53, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
4. Way too many inappropriate UAA reports. Sorry, but I'm afraid I can't quite trust your judgment. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:54, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
5. Oppose per Julian. -T'Shael, Lord of the Vulcans 21:55, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
6. Oppose. Really sorry, I know you are a well meaning, and normally helpfull editor. So please don't let this put you off Wikipedia. But I have to oppose due to your mistakes in CSD realated areas. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 22:01, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
