Hiding (
talk·contribs) – I have encountered Hiding at
WP:CFD and was surprised to find he wasn't an admin. He has been a Wikipedian for 7 months, totalling a well distributed 4388 edits in that time. Judging from his contribs he will make good use of the various tools, and judging from his talk page he is more than calm and rational enough to handle the extra few buttons.

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:I am honoured to accept, and thank you for the very kind words, Martin.
I remember when Rick Block ran for adminship, and I was surprised he wasn't one. Now Hiding is running, and I continue being surprised. I really should get around to reading
WP:LA.

Strong support, since I had forgotten he wasn't one and had been meaning to repair that fact (the not being, rather than the having forgotten). -

Support. Had no direct contact but good maintenance work. Should be granted blocking rights for the sake of it. Every vandal should be thrilled to be blocked by Hiding!

A. I'd be very interested in helping to close discussions I haven't participated in at
WP:CFD and
WP:MFD. The revert would also be handy in fighting the vandals. Looking at the backlog, the wikifying and the pages needing attention are things I have done before, and I'm interested in
Category:Overpopulated categories and
Special:Uncategorizedpages.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Gosh.
Helen Hoyt was my first contribution, and although it's small I like to think of it as perfectly formed.
Mitcham is one I grew from a stub, and I'm quite chuffed with that. I bash away at
Comics, and
Painter and decorator, and
Bacchus (comics) when I can. I try to work to the verifiable standard as close as possible, and I hope that comes through.
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. I try and keep a level head at all times, and if it gets too much I just walk away for a bit, but I haven't really had that many problems. I do try and keep an open mind, and I hope that's been reflected in the way I edit and deal with people. I think the biggest thing to remember is that the computer screen is an excellent tool for misunderstanding people. I can't see any reason why I'd not react the same way in the future.
