Christopher Parham (talk · contribs) - I first edited here in November 2004 and have been active since mid-2005, though somewhat cyclically. I feel that this is an appropriate time to request adminship. I have deliberately kept my responses here relatively brief to encourage people to examine my contribution history directly. Thanks in advance to all participants here. Christopher Parham (talk) 18:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Misplaced Pages 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: I anticipate using admin tools mainly to deal with various minor issues that I encounter during my normal editing (reversion, speedy deletion, blocking or protecting highly repetitive vandals, viewing of deleted pages). Generally, it is nice to be able to clean up messes when you find them. Aside from that I should be able to devote some time to the speedy deletion backlog.

2. What are your best contributions to Misplaced Pages, and why?

A: Blaise Pascal, Point Park Civic Center, and Federalist No. 10 are featured 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 have been involved in various conflicts over the past two years; the most serious one, as well as the one most connected with editing, was that over Shock and Awe (see talk. I couldn't say that another user has ever caused me stress, though some have certainly been annoying (e.g. User:-Ril-). On the whole I try to maintain a philosophical mien during disputes, engage in discussion to whatever extent is possible, and avoid personalizing the dispute. Should I succeed here, users querying my administrative actions could be assured of a thoughtful response, which is the first step in defusing a conflict with another reasonable person.
