Chad has been a member of the English Wikipedia for a while now, and has over 250 edits, across a variety of topics. Recently, he has become quite active around
AfD,
CSD, and
CVU. He has tried to be fair, and has backed off several deletion requests when his arguments were proven wrong (failure of
WP:MUSIC mostly).

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I withdraw my nomination. I appreciate the positive feedback, and perhaps I will try again in a few months. Thanks again. -

Oppose 250 edit?! See the unofficial standards for adminship. I'm sure you'll be great one day, but more experience is needed.
Xoloz17:00, 16 December 2005 (UTC)reply
Oppose. I'm sorry; you're obviously well meaning, and you have had an account for several months now. However, you have only recently started heavily editing, and as of this vote you only had around 80 mainspace edits. I'm not one for editcounting, but you have not been active enough to be able to make informed administrator decisions. Come back when you have some more editing and community experience. Also, as a sidenote: self-noms do not get a "nominators vote".

Oppose for now. From what we have to work with, you seem competent and all that. But the reason for wanting some level of edit count is so that we have a large sample of your work. Come back in a few months and I'd be happy to support. (

Oppose. Slightly editcountitis, and my only brush with the user was a premature CSD (in my opinion) on an article by an experienced editor
[1]. --
Syrthiss19:54, 16 December 2005 (UTC)reply
Oppose. While good-intentioned, this has very little likelihood of passing. Further pile-oners will be shot on site. I urge ^demon to withdraw this nom. --

Oppose Not being a pile-on, as freedback to the candidate should always be helpful. It appears that you do not have enough experience across the areas of wikipedia to be ready yet (e.g. categories, templates, projects). A good way to get more experience would be to join a WikiProject to work on something.

Oppose ^demon is an ok user but try reappling in about 2-3 months. Try to get you edit count up and keep on making good contributions and I will support one day. —

Neutral. Fails to meet my minimal standards for adminship (1000 edits, 3 months on Wikipedia), but otherwise seems OK. I will perhaps support him if he gets more active and reapplies in January or February. —

^demon to be an administrator shall be fulfilled. --

Questions for the candidate A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
A. As I am already highly active around
AfD and
CSD, I would like to help clean up the deletion process, and make it as painless as possible, trying to be fair to all parties concerned. While it is a duty of the Arbitration Committee, I feel that I can also lend an impartial voice in many debates, helping to stop edit wars and POV forks, before they get out of hand. This ties in with my work at
CVU, which I believe to be vital to maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia. Vandals are something that I have no tolerance for, and should be dealt with as such.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I cannot say that I've contributed significant content to any article, as my writing style is rather informal, and I am nowhere nearly as knowledgable about subjects as their primary authors. However, I do keep a special eye on
Ctrl+Alt+Del and
Ikonboard. I also wish to become more involved in the
Chesterfield, Va article, as well as do some work on
My school's article.
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 feel that a major one I was involved in was the naming convention of
L'Arc~en~Ciel. It had been improperly named with hyphens rather than with the tilde. The band uses the tilde, and as such, the naming should've reflected that. A heated debate was carried out on the article's talk page. Eventually, a consensus was reached to use the tilde, even though one user still disagreed quite heatedly. I've also dealt with a vandalism of my user page. This user had been making vandalizations all day, so his username was reported to
WP:CVU.
