Oppose

Strongest Possible Oppose - not listed properly on the main RFA page, weak answer to question 1, spamming user talk pages with this RFA, general inexperience (only 267 mainspace edits, oldest one at 31 March 2006), odd three-strike proposal which demonstrates lack of basic understanding of existing warning policies and practices.

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer 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 would like to participate in every sysop activity possible, particularly counter-vandalism, blocking unruly wikipedians, reverting unwanted material, and protecting necessary pages.

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 Indian music-related topics (e.g. bhol, tabla, Punjab Gharānā and Delhi Gharānā) and my contributions to other Cuisine (Austrian Cuisine, Morroccan Cuisine), Music (King Kooba, J Boogie, Pescozada, Ingco Crew), and Gang-related (MS 13, Mafia) topics. I am pleased because I have great joy in sharing my knowledge with the world, especially with people who research here.

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:To be honest, I have gotten in one small conflict with another wikipedian, (exchanging insults and verbal attacks by both) because he was giving my friend a hard time about one of his contributions. But, I resolved my differences with that user, and we actually became friends. Apparently, he and I both loved music and Cuisine. If I, by some tiny chance, become an admin, I will make sure to deal with vandals or other stress-causing users the way I deal with ordinary people: use the three-strike method. Because, if the user is new, he/she might be unjustly blocked, and that could put me in a bad image. This could also lead to more vandalism by friends of that user, or one of its sockpuppets. So, I would warn them once, with a calm but firm warning, and warn them a second time with a stricter one. The third time, I would block them indefinitely or however temporary the punishment fits the crime.
