Nomination
Markhurd (talk · contribs) – I nominate myself for the admin bit, mostly because I've been around long enough, I ought to do my part in solving the bigger (and smaller) issues. Mark Hurd (talk) 16:08, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Misplaced Pages as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
- 1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
- A: I intend to continue my various activities and consider using the admin tools when possible. Specifically, I'm more likely to use admin rights fighting vandalism than deleting things due to successful XfDs, but I expect I will continue to browse and help where/when I can.
- I have a real job that means my Wiki time is intermittant, though I am almost always at the computer so I can often follow issues and replies quickly, if I'm involved at all.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Misplaced Pages, and why?
- A: Maintenance, copyedits and vandal fighting; it helps first impressions of Misplaced Pages and increases the likelihood of further good edits and the obviousness of future vandalism.
- I fixed most of the (easily determinable) ambiguous uses of Aurora and delta -- these are examples that are used in Misplaced Pages:Disambiguation and Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages).
- I am a computer programmer with a maths science degree and a member of Mensa (Australia). Nevertheless, I haven't found much to add to articles that hasn't already been added or needs references I don't have at hand.
- I am also a CTO and Director of a publically-listed Australian company that is probably notable, but I'm not adding the article...
- 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:No. If I got into that situation I would wait a day (or at least overnight) before continuing to respond. If I needed advice or couldn't solve the other user's problem I would contact another admins.
