Manadude2 ( talk · contribs) – Once I get into the swing of editing, I really go for it. I have recently helped out with reverting vandalism by both registered users and anonymous users and spelling errors, I have also helped out with a recent edit war on the William Rodriguez page which resulted in another sockpuppet of Wtcsurvivor being found and blocked. I also received a barnstar for New Page patrolling last year which I have been activly involved in over the last 4-5 months on and off. I also try to identify continuous offenders, especially IP offenders. I also have a few anti-vandal tools installed on my monobook.js page. Overall, I have helped out on Wikipedia a lot and I think that the admin tools will help me fantastically. manadude2 ( talk) 20:14, 10 May 2009 (UTC) reply

Dear Candidate. Your Q2 "I really have no idea. I have created a few pages on Wikipedia which haven't been deleted so I assume that's good?" Is a bit worrying, to say the least. Not getting stuff deleted is not really a "best contribution". Can I suggest you reconsider that answer. Pedro : Chat 20:37, 10 May 2009 (UTC) reply
I understand what the opposers are trying to get at, but the only issue is how many edits I have made. I would like to draw your attention to an WP article I read, from which I quote: "It is not the number of edits that really matters, but the quality." therefore saying that lack of edits is a downside is pretty poor. I think my edits have been of good standard.
As I have said already, I have been busy revising and studying for my upcoming exams which are very important, and editing Wikipedia is not one of my main concerns at the moment. When my exams finish, which is about the middle of June, then I can start getting involved in Wikipedia more as I will then have 3 and a half months of doing nothing before I start my course at college. Don't get me wrong, I understand what the opposers are saying, but please give a little thought into what I have to do, not something I do to keep me occupied, i.e editing Wikipedia.
I think I have the potential to become and admin, and I think my edits would help a lot. I fully regret the edit block I was given at the start of my WP "career" but I can assure you that I have changed since then and become less naive and a bit more mature. It was stupid of me at the time. I hope you give this some thought. manadude2 ( talk) 21:34, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
