- Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:
- 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 participants:
- 1. What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with?
- A: I would frequently patrol recent changes looking out for unusual edits, such as ones without summaries or edits where pages have been blanked or a lot of information has been removed. I aim to neutrally solve any disputes/edit conflicts and keep all parties happy. I will help to encourage new users by adding constructive comments and help templates to their talk pages.
Overall, generally, I aim to keep everything I can find as encyclopedia friendly as possible and answer and solve questions that people may have and leave out, through discussion, the people who aim to vandalize and add defamatory content to wikipedia.
- 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- A: I am quite pleased with my article St Thomas More High School for boys. It was my first article I created and I think I did pretty well with it and the feedback has been great. I don't think any substantial information was removed by other wikipedians, but very useful content was added, but hey, what is Wikipedia all about?! I have made over 600 edits on wikipedia and many I was not logged in, which I never do now. These may be a little lower than other candidates but I think I have made a real effort in these contributions, where I have learned a great deal about how wikipedia operates and, of course, the wiki language.
- 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: There was a little conflict over a matter in St Thomas More High School for Boys. A user added a 'negative' comment to the article to which I opposed, so a mini-discussion was called. We managed to neutrally agreed to keep the information, but tone it down a little, as it is still sourced information, a key factor in Wikipedia.
Thankyou and please consider my request for adminship carefully!
