EliminatorJR (talk · contribs) - I have been editing Misplaced Pages consistently since February 2007, though I occasionally contributed anonymously before that. I am active both in article and Misplaced Pages space, creating and improving articles as well as vandal-fighting, new page and recent changes patrolling, and contributing at XfD. I believe that the extra buttons would enable me to work more efficiently and to improve Misplaced Pages as a whole. EliminatorJR 10:44, 18 July 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: My work would mainly be concentrated in the areas I am familiar with that are regularly backlogged, particularly CAT:CSD and others at CAT:AB, XfD and WP:RFPP, as well as WP:AIV.

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

A: I've created a number of articles and improved and expanded many others, as well as saving some badly written but notable articles from deletion, but my favourite work to date is British Rail Class 47, which was a messy article about a very notable subject and has just gained Good Article status after about three month's work on it.

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: Oddly, I haven't got myself into any edit wars at all during my time at Misplaced Pages; perhaps I have mainly concentrated on editing non-controversial articles. I have however had some slightly strained conversations with other editors at AfD, notably this one where my ability to remain civil was stretched somewhat. However, the various users involved were able to eventually gain some sort of consensus. My IRL occupation involves a large amount of dispute resolution, so I believe I have the abilities to remain calm and uninvolved in such situations.

Discussion

Support

1. Support - Experienced Wikipedian, lots of edits to Misplaced Pages space, interaction with other users, healthy amount of edits (4,000 +). Trustworthy. Also, wide variety of article edits, not only removing vandalism/nonsense, but also adding references and categories as well as general edits. Lots of experience with AfD too. Good luck.

2. Support, contribs look clean. Slight concern over seemingly a lack of usage of article talk pages, but your user talk edit count puts that doubt to bed. Looks like you could use the admin tools so I'm willing to support. – Chacor 11:20, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
3. Support Yet another high quality self-nom. Civility looks great, loads of accurate work at WP:AFD, where you have made a mistake you've quickly realised and reverted it which shows honesty and checking, plenty of other user interaction, good writing and excellent vandal fighting abilities. Best wishes. Pedro |  Chat  11:28, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
