Oliver202 (talk · contribs) – Oliver202 (talk • contribs)I know I've don't have thousands of edits, but in my view thats not the point, the point is that, I want to be an administrator and help people. I want to be able to revert vandalized pages as well as block users who have been committing vandalism. I just think if I had the power to delete candidates, block users, and close actions like AFDs and RFAs. Although I am already a member of the following groups, I feel that I would be able to assist people and fight vandalism better, if I was an admin.

- 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 Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
- A: I would be mostly active in AfDs dealing with backlogs, but I'd also continuue to patrol NP & RC aswell. Like most users, I am also involved in a fair amount of vandal fighting, and I am a recent changes patroller and a new pages patroller. I would hope to set a good example, resolve edit disputes, tackle incivility issues, and use my tools to aid Wikipedia.
- 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- A: Really, there are no articles that spring to mind that I am particularly pleased with. But I can say that I gave equal effort to every contribution I've made. I am currently working on a number of pages for the Cleanup Taskforce, hopefully once I have finished these major edits I will have something to be proud of!
- 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: I have been in debates with other users, though I have never been in a personal conflict with another user and I probably never will be. On occasion, yes, another user has got a bit annoyed at me, but so far, everytime another this has happened I have managed to sort it out, often with a simple apology from both sides. This shows my ability to stay cool and civil to other angry users, and the ability to work well with others.
- Comments
- This is not going to pass. You have less than 500 edits total and have been here only 1.5 months. Do not bother posting it. I recommend you wait at least 3 more months and contribute more to writing encyclopedia articles. —Centrx→talk • 19:52, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
