Anonymous Dissident (talk · contribs) - I have been on wikipedia for about six month now, and made about 3700 edits in total. I mainly work in article creation (I have created over 60 articles in the mainspace), but, more recently, I have been working with the New page patrol, an area which I think I could contribute to well with the tools, and have participated quite a bit in XFDs. If made an admin, I could not tell what I would specifically use them for; I think I would dabble in different areas and use the tools whenever I can, and when the need arises. The only sure place I could say that I would use my tools in would be at T:DYK, and in the clearing of the worsening backlogs (especially the Speedy Deletion backlogs). Also note that there is one sure area where I would not were I granted the mop -- WP:IFD and image related issues. In past, I have had several bad experiences with images, and have now generally decided to stay away from that area unless I am certain that an image I upload will not be deleted. I hope that my particular image flaws will not provide anyone with reason to oppose, as I am sure that I will never go there. Anonymous Dissident 19:16, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Before you make a vote, please review my contributions while remembering that I am human, and have made my share of mistakes on wikipedia, just like every other editor. Anonymous Dissident 19:36, 10 June 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 questions to provide guidance for participants:
- 1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
- A: I intent to use the tools for work on the New page patrol, where I can simply delete pages that qualify for speedy deletion, rather than just nominating them. I would also work to close XFDs, and help to clear the T:DYK backlog. I cant really say, as I am now as a normal user, what I would definitely use the tools for; I think I would tend to dabble in this and that, drift around, and use my sysop tools fairly equally.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Misplaced Pages, and why?
- A: The pages I have made. I have made over 60 articles on wikipedia, 34 of which have been selected for DYK, and two of which are Good Articles. I have also created about 10 templates/userboxes and am the founder of WikiProject Malta.
- 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 is not a particular conflict (diff) which I can provide, but yes, there have been times where I have not exactly seen "eye to eye" with another editor/s. I find that keeping cool, clearing my head, taking a break and trying to see the other persons point of view always helps. I have learned alot of things from listening, but not much from speaking, so it seems that letting someone else have their say in times of doubt can often be the solution to a problem. When I now look back at my earlier, petty conflicts, I see where I was wrong, and have tried/try to not make the same mistake again.
