I accept.
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
I also intend to assist in article renaming. I have encountered quite a few articles needing renaming. Previously, I used to tag them for moving. Being able to move pages over redirects will be a helpful capability.
Lastly, I intend to continue to do article housekeeping, in the same vein as my current work with User:Chem-awb — migrating the old {{ Chembox}} to {{ Chembox new}}.
Another incident was a misunderstanding was with User:AxelBoldt over phenol red; the disagreement was due to the image cache not being flushed. Hence he thought I was uploading incorrect images. Instead of reverting with just a note in the edit summary, I contacted him directly and we solved the problem. See here.
My other conflict was with regard to {{ Military ranks}}, where I felt quite irritated that other editors were trying to turn a quick reference into an exhaustive list of all possible ranks, which I felt was against consensus. After attempting to trim the edits a few times, I decided to pick my fights, and walked away; my rationale was that while I disagreed with the edits, it didn't really detract from the articles on which this template was placed.
"This image displays an insignia of a military rank. Copyrighting combatant identification and/or rank insignia violates international law; hence this image cannot be copyrighted and belongs to the public domain. This applies worldwide. Note that the use of such symbols is restricted in many countries independently of the copyright status."
