[edit] 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: Mainly fighting vandalism.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: I have reverted self promotion, and was unfortunatley blocked for attempting to make an article. My boldness must be recognised though!
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: Yes, I have been in conflict. I recognise that conflict can be a positive aspect to the encyclopedia though.

    [edit] Discussion

    • I am contemplating a WP:SNOW closure here, due to many issues with the account in question. I'll wait for a few more opinions first however. Rudget (review) 16:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
    • If you wish to do so, then that is your concern. The real question you need to ask though is whether Wikipedia needs a user with fresh ideas, free from the politics and the back biting? Most people who go through with this process have been through the trenches so to speak and have ruined themselves and the project by their petty little trench wars. We need people who are removed from that and can add value to the encyclopedia. Goodandhonestwhig (talk) 16:04, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

      Can I see an example of so called vandalism? Goodandhonestwhig (talk) 16:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
    2. Oppose per weather forecast. Close it Rudge. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 16:04, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
