Jaranda (talk · contribs) – Jaranda (IRC Aranda56) has been around for a while (and has had an RfA in the past) and is well suited for adminship. Meeting *FA, excellent Vandal Fighting history and more, it is my honour to nominate Jaranda for adminship. I've had assurances that Jaranda will stick this one on regardless of the outcome, so as I say why not, I've had nothing but legit admin action requests on IRC. Tawker 23:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

And I'd like to co-nom. Jaranda is now suitable to be an admin and many of the concerns from his previous RfAs have been answered. SushiGeek 00:02, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept the nomination, hopefully three months is enough time, Thank You. Jaranda 00:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

  13. Support. Leaving aside his many excellent contributions, which are out of the question and speak for themselves, I wish to put the accent on his patience, his resilience and admirable will to overcome many stressing situations. His integrity is to be commended, and has shown a love for this project that I deeply admire. Phædriel ♥ tell me - 03:01, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  14. Strong support. --Rory096 03:11, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  15. Support I thought he was already an admin. —Khoikhoi 03:13, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  16. Support. And hopefully you learned by now, there is no need, when you get stressed out, to "quit" or "delete my page", or "withdraw my nomination" or any of that. If you feel stressed a bit at some point, just take a short wikivacation saying later that you were busy in real life or wanted some time to think or something like that. That is to say no need for dramatic jestures. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:13, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

  19. Support seems like a good editor who would most likely benefit from the extra tools hoopydink 03:31, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  20. Support Great editor. Will be a definite asset with the tools. Only needs to calm down a bit. --Srikeit 03:44, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  21. Support per above (and per below when there are more supports.--Kungfu Adam 03:49, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  22. Support. Obviously dedicated to the project. I believe he has made significant progress in improving both his communication skills -- grammar, spelling -- and his handling of wikistress in recent months. I'm a little hesitant -- the block button can be can be a stressful tool to wield (or I think it should be, anyway) but I think it is time. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 05:06, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  23. Support Strongly.--MONGO 05:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  24. YES! Finally, I think I can support. NSLE 05:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Oppose
  1. Having read comments below from the candidate himself, I am a little bit concerned at the apparent over-sensitiveness of this user. I don't think he'll benefit Misplaced Pages as an admin in the long run. Chacor 04:09, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
    How does that affect anything? I've mad good edits. Chacor 04:15, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
    I find it peculiar that you'd find RfA after only making 26 edits. SushiGeek 04:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
    I saw a link on someone's talk page. Surely the number of edits I've made has no difference on my right to post my thoughts? Chacor 04:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
    Well, dear Chacor, you must admit it is unusual to see a user so new voicing his opinion on RfA, as it is to see him moving pages and editing templates with such familiarity. Out of plain curiosity, which user's talk page are you referring to? Because at this very moment, only Cactus.man's links to this RfA (and that, by transcluding Dragons flight's RFA summary). Best regards, Phædriel ♥ tell me - 04:54, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
    I have prior experience in editing at other Wikis, not related to Misplaced Pages. Plus, I found out about adminship reading a talk page of a Tropical cyclone admin, Titoxd. Not this adminship in question. Chacor 05:22, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  2. Oppose Still worried about volatility issues. I also see a lot of reverting over content issues (non-vandalism) without followup comments to either the user talk page or the article talk page. Just some examples: , , . I'm not crazy about the reverting pattern and would worry about rollback usage. Rx StrangeLove 05:32, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Neutral
  1. I just have an uneasy feeling. Good contributor, but I'm a little worried about the wikistress. He says he's handling it, but the last time he tried to quit was this month- June 2, when his userpage was deleted. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 01:39, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
    I deleted my userpage because I had personal info on it, and I was too involved in the Brandt situation. Thanks Jaranda 01:43, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  2. Neutral - Great contributor with the need of sysop tools. Though this edit makes me worry about his apparent knowledge on image tagging policy. Where a image should be tagged {{PUIdisputed}} and be listed on Misplaced Pages:Possibly unfree images was tagged with {{no license}} instead. Also, admin needs to make a hard decision in many situations, I would worry if a admin is afraid to make them. --WinHunter 01:50, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Comments
  • Note I've had quite a few RFAs, mostly withdrawn RFAs mainly because I was afraid of them, and when I get a serious oppose, I quickly withdraw. I promise I won't withdraw from this one

But I'm rather proud that I failed those RFAs, they gave me much more experince in wikipedia, and gave me more time for articles, something which I probaly wouldn't of happened if I become an admin sooner. Thanks Jaranda 01:12, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

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: As an admin I would be closing AfDs, CFDs, and MFDs, in which I've been rather inactive in recently, for example but still knowledgeable in. I also would do Recent Changes patrol as a rollback button, monitor AIV and block vandals when necessary. I would also work in the WP:3RR and administrators noticeboard, where I can be an help. I would mainly work with images though, like attacking the backlog at Category:Images with the same name on Wikimedia Commons and work with copyvios and no source images where I'm more of an expert of. I'm most still gonna concentrate mostly on my present activities like expanding sports related articles. Jaranda 00:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I have created over 190 articles in wikipedia and expanded more then 25 more. Misplaced Pages is a encyclopedia so I don't waste my time discussing over uncyclopedic userboxes and other junk like that as it's a waste of time and doesn't help the site. User:Jaranda/List of Articles I created or expanded is a list of articles I created or expanded. Among them was History of Miami, Florida an FA, Selena which barely failed WP:FAC, Jack Tatum a WP:GA, and a few other GAs. I also created Misplaced Pages:Wikiproject Florida and I'm proud of my work in Misplaced Pages:Version 0.5. Jaranda 00:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
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 several conflects which I didn't react well. Recently I've had a conflect with Badlydrawnjeff of the notabily of some minor leaguers which made him rather mad, and I'm currently trying to find a solution for it. I also been involved in the Daniel Brandt fiasco, which ended up in me being placed in hivemind. I'm still against Brandt but I should have never been involved in the first place and that was a mistake. I've been blocked for 3RR in Feburary in the Super Bowl article, but I was aware of that and personally asked for the block. I've suffered from extreme cases of Wikistress before causing me to leave wikipedia several times but comeback but I managed to control it. I've also been involved in conflects with Boothy443, Avilla and several other users, but I attempt to solve conflects, and would still do if I've become an admin. I've done alot of silly mistakes before as recently as yesterday when I prodded a school article after seeing a few being deleted via prod, but that was stupid in my fault. I would like to be forgiven for all those mistakes I've done. Thanks Jaranda 01:12, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
4. (From LV) According to this edit, you were never going to run again. Why the sudden change of heart? What would you say to critics who might think you too rash? Thanks.
I'm not a big fan of RFAs as you might know, but it's hard to edit without the tools that's the problem, I use IRC and I'm tired of asking other admins for things I need, and sometimes they tend to ignore you, or no admins are there so that's a problem. As for the second question, I do get a bit rash sometimes but if pepole think im too rash, I would find out how i'm too rash and will try to improve myself. Thanks Jaranda 01:59, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Sure, no problem... The last RfA, you left in a huff, saying you would never run again. To me at least, this is like saying "Oh I quit", but then coming back shortly afterwards. I meant rash as in prone to absolutes without deep thought. What would you say to critics who thought you too volatile to trust with admin tools? Thanks again!
A better response. I would say to them that look in my edits non related to RFAs and everyone deserves a second chance, I always panic when it comes to RFAs and I feel like a failre, and I don't know why. I could handle everything other problem rather easily, just not this, I'm going to try to survive this RFA knowing that this will probaly be my last in a long time if I fail. Jaranda 02:23, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  1. Question for the candidate: Having read your comments, you've had a lot of previous requests. My question is, why should people support you for adminship now? What has changed? Chacor 04:15, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I know that I had several ill advised RFA's, but I do need the tools, today for example I encountered a copyvio violater who refused to listen to my warnings, and was even vandalising my userpage and archives and took a while to block. I'm much more experienced and mature than I was three months ago. Thanks Jaranda 04:28, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
