Final (13/11/10) Withdrawn by candidate 10:41, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Bornhj ( talk · contribs) – In the interests of full disclosure, I was nominated for adminship in June of this year. I declined the nom on the basis that I didn't think I was experienced enough at the time to become an admin. However, in the last two months I believe I've developed a greater understanding of process and the community. I've decided to self-nom because I'd like to be able to write a little about my self. Along with my growing understanding of the project, I've also found myself having a genuine need for the extra buttons in the last couple of months. By some standards I don't have a lot of edits (around 2700; 1000 to mainspace, 250 to WP:). A lot of these edits have been vandal fighting, something I've been doing almost since I joined the project (on my birthday, in mid-August last year... damn, I just realised this RfA ends around my birthday. unintentional!). This stemmed from a determination to make the project clean and presentable - I was, and still am, insulted when my teachers say that I "shouldn't use Wikipedia at all because anyone can say whatever they want there", which is the typical outside viewpoint that I don't think we'll ever shake. We can, however, ensure that this isn't the case. Wikipedia is a team effort - there's people who really don't care about the inner workings and just want to write some good content, and then there's people who don't want to write but want to see Wikipedia keep afloat and help those people who do want to write. The site wouldn't exist without both, and I'm definitely part of the second group. I believe that having the extra buttons would allow me to continue this work further, enabling everyone to get on with it and build this encyclopedia. --jam es (talk) 14:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC) reply
