[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: I intend to take part in controlling vandals. I will edit more pages and help new members with editing pages so that I can help make Wikipedia a better place to learn.

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

A: Any editing that I have done, I think, is a great contribution. Any time someone edits an article with good will, he or she is helping millions of people learn better. I rather enjoy deleting spam external links. These are some of the most annoying things on Wikiepdia. Like I said earlier, I would like to help slow down vandalism. One of these fake external links could contain a malicious virus. If a user gets a virus from an external link he or she found on Wikipedia, it is unlikely that the person would go on to Wikipedia again. This is obviously a bad thing for Wikipedia. In order to keep the facts on Wikipedia safe and correct, someone needs to delete bad external links. That someone is me.

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: When I first started out a Wikipedia, I didn't have much experience. I never told why I was editing a page. To deal with this in the future, I will make sure more new members don't make the mistakes I did.--Jake Da Snake 22:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oppose

1. Oppose and suggest withdrawing. While you have been a member for some time, you have fewer than 50 contributions - far below the minimum usually needed. I hope this doesn't discourage you and hope you stay around. - Philippe | Talk 23:00, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
