Mathwiz2020

[{{fullurl:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Mathwiz2020|action=edit}} Vote here] (24/0/0) ending 21:28 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Mathwiz2020 (talk · contribs) – Mathwiz2020 has been a Wikipedian since February 2005, and I am primarily nominating him for adminship in order to administer the AutoWikiBrowser program (an edit tool that assists in cleanup, recats, edits, etc.), which he has taken over after Bluemoose's recent departure from Wikipedia. I think that Mathwiz2020 will make a great admin, and hope that you will support his nomination. SchuminWeb (Talk) 07:12, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

  1. Per nomination. SchuminWeb (Talk) 07:15, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support I know Mathwiz2020 will not abuse adminship and will contribute greatly to wikipedia. I respect his efforts to fight vandals and expand the schoolwatch programme. In conclusion, Mathwiz2020 is a great choice for adminship. --BrenDJ 20:39, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support I am definitely confident that Mathwiz would make a good administrator. JtkieferT | C | @ ---- 23:22, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  8. Support, Good editor. Would make a great admin, even though BlueMoose has returned to WP. Gflores Talk 01:03, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  11. Support Great vandal fighter. (ESkog)(Talk) 03:58, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  12. Support, although as a vandal fighter, one should have a decent amount of experience in AfD. He has less than 100 wiki namespace edits, but I'm going to support because in his time on AfD, he has shown an ability to learn quickly, judge fairly, and do something about keeps.

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A. I plan to help with deletion (including speedy deletion), undeletion, reverting, vandalism (using the IP block feature), NPOV controversy, and page protections. I already participate in AfD and tag pages for speedy deletion, but, if I became an admin, I plan to also patrol pages nomintated for speedy deletion and delete them as necessary. I have also noticed that some admins delete pages they shouldn't, hence, I could help with undeletion. A perfect example is when Bluemoose left Wikipedia - I volunteered to help with the AutoWikiBrowser, but I need to undelete his pages to get the information. I use CryptoDerk's VandalFighter and Navigation popups to patrol recent changes and then quickly revert pages, but the admin rollback feature would help a lot. I also use Lupin's anti-vandal tool, and rollback-ability expands its capabilities. If you look at Talk:Thomas Sprigg Wootton High School, I have listed IP vandals but nobody took action. I also plan to block IPs as per WP:3RR and other policies. Additionally, I plan to find articles tagged as having WP:NPOV controversy and neutralizing them to make Wikipedia a better place. Finally, I plan to protect pages and update them as needed. For example, now that I have taken over the AWB, I have to add users to the CheckPage, which is protected.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I am particularly pleased with my contributions to Robert Frost Middle School. I nurtured it from a deleted page to a 12kb article with a BEEFSTEW rating of 9/10. I added a nice infobox on the right, statistics and other data tables, information on sports teams, bands, extracurriculars, etc., and even multiple links to news articles about two different extremely notable events. I believe that any page can be expanded and even become a benchmark for quality if only you spend a lot of time researching and writing. This article is just one example. I have now expanded, working on many school articles, including those about schools in the Montgomery County Public Schools system. While the Frost article is not featured article-status, it still exhibits lots of tender care and the time I spent on it.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A. As mentioned above, there was a lot of vandalism to Thomas Sprigg Wootton High School. To deal with it, I left a message on the talk page of the article and left this message on the user page of all the vandals. I would have listed it on vandalism-in-progess if I had known about it back then. On Episodes of Lost (Season 2), I was involved in a dispute over WP:NOT and WP:V. Wikipedia is not a "crystal ball", and all information must be verifiable. Hence, I thought that all unverified information about future episodes of the television show 'Lost' should not be allowed. Other Wikipedians and I solved this dispute with a poll and continuing discussion. We also adhere to WP:3RR while reverting unverifiable info. I plan to continue such peaceful negotations in the future. Finally, Fraghappy caused me stress recently in an issue over etiquette. I responded by leaving a message on his talk page citing official Wikipedia policies and stating my opinion. Fraghappy answered me by saying "I don't like you and this argument is entirely pointless" - I will not resort to name calling, as Fraghappy did.
