- Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:
I'm nominating myself (for the second time by the way) so yes, I accept my own nomination.
Questions for the candidate
[edit]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 administrative work do you intend to take part in?
- A: Resolving disputes, creating, editing and improving articles mainly pertaining to fiction.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- A: Well I re-created the previouly redirected Virginia Lewis, Prince Wendell White and Christine White articles in a manner that made them altogether neater, less POV, more concise, more respectable (I like to think) and altogether less "ORish" if you will. I also created a category for articles relating to The 10th Kingdom so that said articles would be altogether easier to find. I have also created articles for characters relating to the television miniseries Tin Man. They are as follows. DG (Tin Man), Glitch (Tin Man), Wyatt Cain and List of characters in Tin Man. I've also contributed to the Azkadellia article and the main article and created a category for the above articles. At the moment I'm vouching to have a number of the character articles (disincluding the Azkadellia article) merged into List of characters in Tin Man because whilst they are well-written and noteworthy I don't think they're sourced sufficiently to have seperate articles.
- 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: I got into an argument with a user named Frickative, an excellant editor nevertheless over edits I had made to the May Wright article, edits he deemed "hyperbole." In Frickative's defence he wasn't the only person reverting my edits so in retrospect they were obviously unsuitable though I was not aware that other people were reverting my edits at the time and so didn't realise. After Frickative spoke to me, I backed down though without a couple more misguided edits. I have howevever, seen the error of my ways now at the risk of sounding pious.
General comments
[edit]- See Jupiter Optimus Maximus's edit summary usage with mathbot's tool. For the edit count, see the talk page.
- Links for Jupiter Optimus Maximus: Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk · contribs · deleted · count · AfD · logs · block log · lu · rfar · spi)
- I strongly suggest you not do this. You don't have enough experience, you don't use edit summaries, and you have not participated in admin-related work. There is little to no chance this would succeed at this time. See WP:NOTNOW. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:55, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
*It also seems you have not properly followed the instructions for transcluding this to the main RFA page, so it's not actually listed at WP:RFA. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:08, 5 October 2008 (UTC) fixed. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please keep discussion constructive and civil. If you are unfamiliar with the nominee, please thoroughly review Special:Contributions/Jupitr Optimus Maximus before commenting.
Discussion
[edit]Support
[edit]- Strong Support I was the one who suggested this. [[User:Tutthoth-Ankhre|Tutthoth-Ankhre~ The Pharaoh of the Universe]] (talk) 19:33, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia isn't harmed by well meaning but inexperienced admins. Quite the opposite. naerii 20:55, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose
[edit]- Good contribution so far, from what I can see - but that is unfortunately not much. Please gain some more experience before running again. Garden. 20:44, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose – You will have to improve in all major areas (edit summaries, evidence of admin duties, strong work committment to helping around the encyclopedia in a diverse number of tasks, article work etc.). I'm not seeing that at the moment. Caulde 20:47, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose; contributions so far are good, but there just isn't enough for me to accurately judge your temperament. Tutthoth-Ankhre's "suggestion" was premature to say the least. Ironholds 20:56, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose Not enough overall experience, not enough experience in admin related areas, no real explanation as to what the candidate would be doing that specifically requires the tools, I had to correct the way you spelled your own name to get this RFA on track, that's a really bad sign, overall a WP:NOTNOW. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:58, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose – Per Caulde. You still need more experience in areas. WP:NOTNOW applies here. – RyanCross (talk) 21:00, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Slight oppose and withdraw per concerns; please come back when you are more experienced. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 21:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose. For the lack of experience that may lead to lack of policy knowledge. The answer to question one doesn't exactly tell me what admin areas Jupiter Optimus Maximus plans to work in (though this isn't part of the oppose). DiverseMentality(Boo!) 21:25, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, but this is definitely premature. — Ceranthor [Formerly LordSunday] 21:35, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral
[edit]- You're on the right track, but right now you aren't ready for adminship. I suggest continuing to edit for six months and then considering an RfA, but right now you aren't ready. Malinaccier (talk) 20:51, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral Your enthusiasm to assist the project is commendable, but the timing of this RfA is premature. Ecoleetage (talk) 21:01, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
