Final (27/1/0) ended 16:36 10 September 2005 (UTC) Ral315 ( talk · contribs) - I think Ral315 should be an admin. He seems to be a reasonably good Wikipedian, and is doing a great benefit to Wikipedia by editing the Wikipedia Signpost. He has 2846 edits, which seems to be plenty enough. -- — JIP | Talk 16:36, 3 September 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 take care of speedied articles, and closing VFD debates. Also, I plan to help with the copyvio backlog, which seems to grow every day.

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

A. I don't really do that much work on articles in general; I try mostly to keep to janitorial-type work like removing double-redirects, RC and New Pages patrol, etc. My favorite work right now is (temporarily) publishing the Signpost every week.

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 was once (about three months ago) blocked for 24 hours for violation of the 3RR. The page I was reverting was a user page that promoted warez; I removed the information. After being banned, another user added a speedy tag, and the article was deleted. I will not do this in the future, and other than this incident, I've had relatively few conflicts, and the others have been resolved quite peacefully and cheerfully.
