I tried this before, just 5-6 days ago. I (based on some advice) felt I wasn't ready (he was right). I spent a lot of time thinking after that, if I wanted to try to become an admin. What an administrator is all about, what they do. I got involved in wikipedia more, and decided I definitely want that to be a goal. I did everything I felt I would need to succeed. I studied every possibility, I experimented and learned. I got advice from other admins/editors about things I didn't know. I really fleshed out my knowledge greatly about wikipedia, it's policies. I read through the policy pages (and admin pages) MANY times, reading every line carefully. Trying to make sure i had a full understanding of everything. I hunted down archives of MANY admin actions,and pages where admins where under fire for specific "things" they did that made them open for recall (arbitration). I read through what they did that was bad, good, and how the entire arrangements are ready. I think with all the time I put into studying the stuff, and getting involed, and learning. I think I have the knowledge necessary to make a good administrator now. I am planning on seeing this nomination through until the end (Whether declined or accepted) and if I am accepted I will go off to try and do even more for wikipedia. If I am declined I will do everything I can to strengthen my weak points and be even better the next time I nominate myself in 1-2 months from now. However it is a goal, that I am trying for now to see the outcome. businessman332211 04:13, 31 October 2007 (UTC) reply
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
There is so much I want to get involved in I don't even know where to begin. Just being able to get involved on that level will probably keep me busy. I average a good amount of hours to wikipedia per day, and this'll just give me more fire/drive to try my hardest to make it even better. businessman332211 04:13, 31 October 2007 (UTC) reply
So far I think my best contribution is just being here doing what I do. I created some articles, I have done a lot of "good" editing. I have done vandalism help, and trying to help in every way I possibly can. There are so many things to do I can start working on one task, and stay busy for 3-4 hour stretches working on just one thing. Then find something else to keep me busy another 5-6 hours. businessman332211 04:13, 31 October 2007 (UTC) reply
No I have avoided arguments. I have found all editors I have dealt with to be very good. I have only had problems with people from random ip addresses, for example sometimes they vandalise needlessly, so I try to revert there changes at all costs. I had 1 person who added something. Someone reverted, he added it back, I agreed and reverted myself (first time). Then he added again and I reverted a second time, but then felt it wasn't my place at that specific point so I undid my last revision, apologized. I mentioned to him that I assume he was just trying to contribute, and instead of reverting him I would try to rewrite the content and cite verifiable sources for him, so he would feel more at home at wikipedia. Aside from that, nothing near an argument with anyone. I have voiced my opinion a few times, then when I was in the wrong someone told me and I quickly apologized if I felt my actions where wrong. businessman332211 04:13, 31 October 2007 (UTC) reply
