Maxim ( talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) - Maybe I should be bold as well... I've been an admin since June 30th 2007, and an editor since around February 2007. You can call me an oddity among RfB candidates - I contribute quite a bit of content; my userpage is more of a "trophy" case than anything else. I clear admin backlogs a lot, hence my slightly absurd deletion count.
As a bureaucrat, I think the first place I'd help out would be changing usernames. I'm quite good at clearing out repetitive backlogs, and my numerous edits to WP:UAA and numerous usernames blocks show familiarity with policy. I think crats may get tired of doing renames - I think so because of personal experience. C:CSD used to be extremely backlogged before the patrol feature, and I would take an hour or two and delete around a hundred articles. Of course, I got quite tired of it, and then the patrol feature was implemented. I would be very willing to do that job. At RfA, I'm more of an observer than commenter. RfA is usually the first thing I put on my watchlist after I clear it, as I like to keep track of happens around. I've observed numerous discussions at RfA, about almost every topic possible, ranging from percentages to thank-you notes. As for flagging bots, this is the only area that's not very backlogged. It's not a common discussion topic at WP:BN, either. 'Crats, usually lately WJBscribe (:D) flag bots at the advice of the Bot Approvals Group and WP:BRFA, and I believe I'd be able to that on a regular basis, too.
I care about this project very much, and I hope to be trusted with some extra buttons. If the community doesn't trust me, I'd still continue my regular activities here, like clearing the admin backlogs and writing more articles. Maxim (talk) 01:27, 28 February 2008 (UTC) reply
