I've been editing regularly for over a year now and have a couple of thousand edits. I'd thought I'd nominate myself rather than get someone to nominate me. If I'm not good enough, it would be interesting to find out how I can improve. [[User:Dmn|Dmn / Դմն ]] 03:08, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
All of us who have been attacked by Wik should stick together.

I think it's fairly safe to say that Wik's view can be discarded in considering who would make a good admin.

Seems like a good guy. And the fact that he said "Enjoyed working on Kylie Minogue" below - I almost wet my pants laughing. --

support, and despite trying my best to find it alarming and sinister, I am completely untroubled by him leaving a silly comment (wagga wagga) on someone's talk page back in April.

having said "wagga wagga" back in April is no reason for me to object. If the 'repeatedly' part of the 'inanities' allegations is demonstrated, I may change to neutral (or even object). I also like the fact that he is not aggressively defending himself here, letting people make up their own minds.

Wik doesn't make things up. Dmn repeatedly posted inanities like
this on Wik's talk page. The "nasty things" Wik said, which Dmn complains about below, were apparently after Dmn started behaving like this. No sysop material.

Adding "wagga wagga" to Wik's talk page does not seem the most damnable action I can think of. Neutral b/c I don't know anything about this user except that he (like me) was on Wik's hitlist.

I've been thinking just about the same thing as VV: "wagga wagga" is hardly major vandalism, and, well, if everyone who got into a high blood pressure situation wrote "wagga wagga," we'd have fewer ArbCom decisions. It seems like a great deal less than what most folks do. I have wanted to vote for support, but I'm pretty neutral.

I'll change to a neutral stance due to lack of info. [[User:Sam Spade|

Dmn, why do you have two accounts? I know the second one is not hiding your identity, but the collaborative account you have seems... well... not really very encouraging. Just a question and an opportunity for you to expand.

We as in who? You share your account? You can make edits on multiple pages at once, also. --
user:zanimum
I don't see any problem with someone sharing accounts, and seems to me that a collaborative account is useful for attribution. Several dozen edits from my account were made by school-aged children, although some of the active ones will be starting their own accounts. As for making edits on multple pages at once, I have found my edits (apparently at least) throttled, even when editing alone.
Pedant
I have no objection to multiple accounts. There are valid and compelling reasons -- and absent evidence of any malice, we should assume good intent.

Questions for the candidate A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
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 will deal with it in the future?
A.
Wik once said some nasty things about me, but apart from that I enjoy working with the vast majority of users. On the whole I avoid edit conflicts and advocate discussion.
