SoLando (
talk·contribs) – Joel has been a Wikipedian since December 2003. In that time he has accumulated 5278 edits, of which 4410 are to the mainspace. His contributions have included an awful lot of vandal fighting, as well as exceptionally tedious tasks for
Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history in addition to numerous good quality contributions to articles. I can't support his endorsement of Slipknot (see his user page), but I can recommend him as a great potential Admin.

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I humbly accept. I'm also inclined to agree with you about Slipknot - blame birthdays ;-)

MEGA, ULTRA, Leithp and 10 others beat me to it, SUPPORT, In addition to being a meticulous and dedicated contributor and vandal fighter he's also a helluva cool dude. It is a honor to call him my friend and a pleasure to wholeheartedly support his elevation to adminship, for which he has clearly demonstrated his worthiness.--

Support - Devoted and reliable editor. Also, the comparison between your internet connection and "a one-legged turtle on sleeping pills" (question 1) was the best I've heard in a while. :)

A. My desire to help in the efforts to fight the seemingly endless scourge that is the vandal would be greatly benefited by
rollback, as I have an internet connection roughly equivalenet to that of a one-legged turtle on sleeping pills. I regularly observe developments at the
Admin Intervention noticeboard and do occasionaly warn users, so I'd like also use the blocking feature. I'd also be interestered in scrutinising Special:Newpages to find any nonsense articles warranting speedy deletion. And, finally, I'd be able to edit the protected anniversaries pages to correct mistakes and make minor refinements. See
Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/October 30 for an example.

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Well, I have written many lengthy articles, many of which unfortunately suffer in the grammar department (I'm so sorry to my English teachers!). My present pride and joy has most certainly been writing an article on
Richard Geoffrey Pine-Coffin, a relatively obscure paratrooper officer during the
Second World War. Right now, I have to say that my pet project to completely rewrite every article in Category:The King's Regiment is also something I'm quite proud of.

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 don't believe I have. If there have been conflicts that I've been embroiled in, they've likely been resolved quickly as I don't see confrontation as an appropriate way to solving issues and grievances. Yes, conflict will always be inevitable in such a vast community-based project like Wikipedia, but if there's a way to solve problems without getting all 'net
Rambo, then that should be preferred. Adhering to the
Five Pillars of Wikipedia and
m:Don't be a dick certainly can ensure that unnecessary conflict is avoided.
