Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Misplaced Pages 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:Misplaced Pages backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
- A. Temporarily blocking those users whose latest vandalism is both recent and comes after receipt of Template:Test4; examining and (where appropriate) deleting what's in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion.
- 2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- A. Not really. My contributions to featured articles have been trivial, and I've never thought that any article to which my contributions weren't trivial deserved to be featured. One contribution with which I'm fairly pleased: Until I intervened in May of last year, MPP was a redirect to Member of Provincial Parliament; this may make perfect sense for people in and near Ontario but it did not for me, and the fact that M.P.P. redirected elsewhere made even less sense. I turned MPP into a disambig page and had M.P.P. redirect to it. This of course was trivial. What I then had to do was of course to change every other link to MPP to make it instead point directly to the relevant article. I may say that membership of the Ontario Provincial Parliament seemed a splendidly well-developed area of en-WP, and changing what seemed to be hundreds of links (though probably fewer) was a long and tedious task. But the halo I imagined I'd developed during this process was somewhat dented when I got polite messages saying how I could have done a better job. And one article: the recent Hiroh Kikai. It's probably of limited interest (the page history shows a certain, er, pattern to the list of contributors) and it's distinctly incomplete (lacking any illustrative photograph, as I haven't yet got around to asking for the publisher's permission). But what I'm fairly proud of is that this is the best source of English-language information on the subject that I know of, and is meticulously referenced.
- 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. Yes, I've been in some conflicts of editing, although not recently. These conflicts and other users have irritated me at times but they haven't caused me stress.
While I don't plan to respond to comments, I'll try to answer any further questions.
