I have been a wikipedia editor since late May and have have become a true Wikipediholic. I am an active vandal fighter and a member of the Welcoming Committee I have also have begun to spend time working on featured picture candidates. I had a failed RFA last month here which was due to my being a fairly new editor, however I have matured and learned from the extra time that I have had and now feel that I am ready for the responsibility of being an administrator. -- Jtkiefer ^{T | @ | C} ----- 00:20, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

8. Support, and without reservations now that he's been around longer. Actually, as someone who's gone and done things like blocking and deleting after he identified that they needed to be done (and I can't think of a false alarm), give him his own mop already. :-) Mindspillage (spill yours?) 03:34, 23 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Oppose

1. Oppose - my standards don't allow it. Not enough edits to the main namespace for me and therefore not enough experience of actually writing an encyclopedia. Come back when you've got about 600+ articlespace edits and I'll gladly support. — Cel es tianpower ^háblame 20:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC) 11:17, 23 August 2005 (UTC) reply

   Not to attack or anything, but Even I, an administrator since May of 2003 (which was a few months after my joining), just barely have 600 articlespace edits (662) out of about 3750. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 00:33, 25 August 2005 (UTC) Not to mention, he's a bureaucrat. Redwolf24 02:50, 25 August 2005 (UTC) reply

   I just feel that admins need experience actually doing what we're here for, writing an encyclopedia. -- Celestianpower ^{hab | myRFA} 08:23, 25 August 2005 (UTC) reply

2. Opppose, I insist that you still do not have enough exeperience. Nevertheless, it seems that your nomination will pass this time. -- Sn0wflake 23:34, 23 August 2005 (UTC) reply
3. Oppose. Three months is insufficient. siafu 04:51, 25 August 2005 (UTC) reply
4. -- Boothy443 | comhrÚ 07:02, 25 August 2005 (UTC) reply
5. Oppose. 2004-12-29T22:45Z 18:09, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

1. Great vandal fighter, but only ~900 combined edits in Article & Wikipedia namespaces, and only ~100 in Talk namespace. Would probably support with more experience. -- Alan Au 01:19, 23 August 2005 (UTC) reply
2. Neutral because of those 2600 edits, nearly 1500 have been to User or User Talk pages, and less than 500 have been to Wikipedia articles. Also, this is less than a month after he last self-nom, and the user has been here less than three months (by a little bit). For all that, a solid contributor and I don't want to oppose.-- Scimitar ^parley 15:57, 23 August 2005 (UTC) reply
3. Robert McClenon 00:20, 24 August 2005 (UTC) reply
4. Neutral. Too soon after the last self-nomination, and over a third of the total edit count is to User talk:. With more experience in article and WP: space, I will gladly support in the future. android 79 21:13, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Comments

• Over 2500 edits as of 01:51, August 23, 2005 (UTC) according to Kate's Tool. Acetic Acid 01:51, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
• It's been less than a month since the last nom...still thinking about my vote. - Splash 00:30, 23 August 2005 (UTC) reply
• Nitpickingly, I'm going to demand you fix that spelling error before I vote. Rob Church ^{Talk | Desk} 00:54, 23 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • I don't know if this is a joke, but it's a bit irritating. An admin candidate is naturally looking to please the voters, but we needn't take that as an excuse to make him dance for us (metaphorically). Everybody, including the most respected and effective admins, makes spelling and grammatical errors. — Dan | Talk 01:29, 23 August 2005 (UTC) reply
    • Acknowledged. It was intended as a joke, but I didn't phrase it right. I've corrected the typo anyway, and I'm voting Support. Happy? Rob Church ^{Talk | Desk} 01:51, 23 August 2005 (UTC) reply
      • I am not happy. :( -- Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 07:41, 23 August 2005 (UTC) reply
• Excellent vandal fighting and my extra points for the selfnom, but, not to make you jump through hoops, could you please give an example of the amicable disagreement-settling you mention under question 3? Bishonen | talk 07:31, 23 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Of course, the most recent example I can think of was a page I started Wikipedia:Stalking now a rediredt to Wikipedia:Harassment which didn't up so well, with a few minor edit wars and massive disagreement on the talk page, Even though it doesn't directly involve a dispute with me just last night I also helped calm down a dispute regarding the blocking of User:Amalekite between User:Slimvirgin and User:Matt Crypto. Jtkiefer ^{T | @ | C} ----- 15:55, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Jtkiefer jumps through a hoop for good measure

OK..? Glad you liked the hoop, but I don't actually see any disagreement-settling attempted by you at Wikipedia:Stalking, not in the page as created or anywhere else—how is it an example? Am I looking in the wrong place? Bishonen | talk 16:23, 23 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Sorry, Wikipdia:Stalking was probably a bad example, at the moment I'm working on Asperger's syndrome with some editors to make it more readable and more stable. Jtkiefer ^{T | @ | C} ----- 18:00, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

I admit that I haven't had many notable content disputes since much of the content work I do is an add here, a copyedit there, a subtraction here and there as needed but I'm in the process of trying to get more involved with content without slacking on my current participation on other areas of the wiki. Jtkiefer ^{T | @ | C} ----- 18:18, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

• I'm not voting (don't count this as a neutral vote). I'll be happy to consider this application when Jtkiefer has been around a bit longer. Late September should be okay provided can see plenty of good article edits (not WP:FA stuff, just normal edits). -- Tony Sidaway ^Talk 18:48, 23 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)

A. I would continue to help with vandal fighting as a major part of my time on wikipedia, and I'd also help with Canidates for speedy deletion on things that are blatantly speedy even though I prefer rewriting and/or merging if possible rather than deleting.

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A. I'm proud of my work on Megatokyo even though it isn't much I'm working on making it a cleaner clearer better 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. I've done my best to avoid being personally involved in conflicts with other users as much as possible and try to work out disagreements amicably before they get a chance to escalate into full blown conflicts.

Notes on promotion

Boothy443's vote and that of 2004-12-29T22:45Z are disregarded, the latter due to insufficient edit history.
