Morphh (talk · contribs) – I've been an editor on Wikipedia for over a year and feel I have learned enough to lead. I do many repetitive tasks on project contributions (Stargate Wikiproject, WikiProject Biography, WikiProject Comics, & WikiProject North Carolina) that would benifit from Administrive rights and associated Wikipedia tools.

- 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 consider working on Articles to be merged, NPOV disputes, Articles with unsourced quotes, Articles with unsourced statements, Category needed, & Needs infobox
- 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- A: FairTax - I've done a lot of work to this article and succesfully worked through many disputes. While it still needs some work in regard to third party references and prose, I hope to get it to FA status soon.
- 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: Followed Wikipedia guidelines for conflict resolution. I would deal with it the same in the future - they work well.

- Oppose. You do not need the admin tools to merge articles, mediate NPOV disputes, fix unsourced material, add categories or create templates (infoboxes). None of those are admin tasks. Furthermore, looking over your contributions, I see less than 100 edits to the Wikipedia namespace. Of those, there is only participation in two AfDs, one copyright problem, and you reported the same user three times to 3RR over the course of several days. I'd like to see more evidence that you understand policies. You have less than 50 edits to Wikipedia Talk which shows little community involvement and you have 100 edits to user talk since 1 July 2005. None of your edits in user talk have been warning vandals. Admins do work that you seem to have no experience in. Some of their tasks include fighting vandalism, responding to requests for intervention and block/ban, protecting and unprotecting articles (and talk pages, etc), deleting pages, and closing XfD discussions. You have almost no experience in dealing with vandalism and have participated in only two XfD discussions. You do not demonstrate a knowledge of policy. However, keep in mind that adminship is not a "leadership" role, as you seem to believe. It's not a prize or reward. It's an extra set of janitorial duties. You are a great editor and can continue to be a great editor without being an admin; you don't seem to need to be one. Srose (talk) 20:15, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
