Buggie111 ( talk · contribs) – Editors of the English Wikipedia (and invited guests), I have the pleasure of nominating Buggie111 for Adminship here on the English Wikipedia. Buggie111 has been around the project for upwards of six years, and in that time has amassed a number of edits to across Wikipedia on a wide variety of subjects. He is a former Military history Wikiproject Coordinator, and as such comes into this RFA with a background in housekeeping and routine maintenance tasking, which is useful for administrative candidates here since it better prepares them to hit the ground running such as it were. Buggie111 self nominated for adminship back in 2011, but this request was withdrawn at his request after it became apparent that the community thought him unready to handle the tools. In the time since his last RFA, Buggie has worked to address the issues raised, and it is in difference to his editorial capabilities and his sense of judgement that I offered to nominate him for adminship. While his edit count will show a drastic reduction in time spent here over the last few years, the time in question corresponds with his time in university, which has been a leading reason why editors have been active here schizophrenically since the project was first created back in '01, and given that he has expressed an interest in becoming an admin at a time when the administrators corps badly needs experienced editors willing to step up that I am certain that he will be asset to Wikipedia as an administrator.

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:Thank you, happy to accept the nomination. One thing I'd like to mention is that the absence corresponds to high school, not university. However, I am near certain my courseload in the upcoming years will be manageable and will allow for, among other things, the responsibilities of the mop.

Well, this went nowhere fast. Now I know what it's like to be a Denver Broncos fan.Going to have to withdraw at this time.
Before I go, I'd like to express my surprise, to put it nicely, at the fact that the opposes here aren't about inexperience/errors in my deletion work, but are about inactivity.
Mkdw , I see nothing in that link about maintaining activity. Although I had doubts about this nomination back when TomStar approached me last month, I thought that the fact I was active in 2010-2012 (with significant contributions and a solid grasp of deletion) would be more than enough to demonstrate knowledge and experience to the community so that we could move on to the real parts of RfA, such as opposing based on signature color and talk page archives. However, I've gotten several quasi-canned opposes about lack of activity, linking me to NOTNOW. Bums me out a bit that, as VegasCasinoKid mentioned, some people consider me a new editor with little judgement. I understand that policy does change over time, but at a pace that wouldn't be hard to catch up to. It seemingly isn't as easy as setting aside a few hours to re-read the notability guidelines,
WP:V, and the like.
I still intend to return to the project in both maintenance and content areas (obviously at a lower rate than May 2010), and within a few months will talk over a third nomination with Tomstar, ed, as well as a couple of editors from my first RfA. As for now, I've got to go and work on this commitment thingamajig. RfHolyMatrimony has high standards, and I've got to practice. Buggie111 ( talk) 13:38, 17 March 2015 (UTC) reply
