HarryMaxwell (talk · contribs) - My name is Harry Maxwell. I have been a member on Wikipedia for a long time and am an active member. I can't stand vanalism and am constantly removing it, Wikipedia is a relied on greatly source and is abismal to have this going on.

As I have been a member for so long I know everything about Wikipedia/Meta Wiki. My focus is creating pages so we the encyclopedia can be bigger and better. The main things I create are to do with things such as Television, Schooling and Buisness e.g List of Tycoon Episodes and Spratton Hall School.

Thank you for reading this, Wikipedia is a phenomonal source of knowledge and I would be honoured to serve as an admin. I will take any critism seriously and whatever the outcome will continuosuly try to better and expand my contributions. HarryMaxwell

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Questions for the candidate

[edit]

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: As an admin I would like to better wikipedia. Firstly I wall remove all vandalism to the upmost extent i can. I wil also review situations where users/pages have been put up for deletion and give an unbiased opinion. I will also create more reliable pages with the assistance of the notice board. Being an admin is a huge responsibility but i know I'm ready.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: My best contributions I feel are the pages I have created. These are no-nosence and provide accurate information. I check all these pages regularly to make sure no vandalism has been created. I also think creating pages is good as it expands the Wikipedia database and will provide information to people who need it, which is one of wikipedias main purposes I feel.
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 involved in a conflict. One user was constantly vandalising the Britains Got Talent page with own research and unrefrenced statements. I dealt with this by reporting them to the admin, User:Centrx who banned saw this awful behavour and stopped their power of editing. I hope to handle situations like this the same way User:Centrx did.

Optional Question from Wikihermit

4. Why did you say you've been here for 3 years and have over 2000 edits, when really you have less then three months and have less then 100 edits?

Support

Oppose

  1. I don't think you need the admin tools, removing vandalism can be done by anyone. You only have 97 edits --AxG @ ►talk 20:58, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Anyone want to close this, its a waste. --AxG @ ►talk 21:15, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Massive Oppose You state you have over 2000 edits yet you do not. You have under 100. I cannot support a liar as an admin and frankly suggest you withdraw and don't waste hard working contributors time with this. To be honest I can't even WP:AGF here , and I'm sorry for that, but there we go. Pedro |  Chat  21:11, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose 2K edits? Been here for 3 years? Is that a joke? No experience, jejune. —Anas talk? 21:10, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. I agree with AxG. You don't really have much experience with even reporting vandals. Besides where are these 2K dits you claim to have? Also, the fact that you stated that a user was banned by an admin shows how little you actually know about policy and how Wikipedia works. I suggest you try to get more experience before trying to become an admin. Tennis Dynamite 21:11, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose Sorry, but you have under 100 edits, you don't need admin tools to remove vandalism (you could use WP:TW), and you don't need to be an admin to create pages. Also, you lied by saying you have been here 3 years. Try again in 5 or 6 months. ~ Wikihermit 21:12, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
