Tinkleheimer (talk · contribs) - Hi there everyone, my name is Trevor, or Tinkleheimer. I am requesting adminship on myself because I am/or at least try to potray a level-headed user, which I feel there should be more of. I have been with Wikipedia for 2 years, but first actively edited starting in December 2006, but I took a Wikibreak that summer. I started again in August, and after 2 months of little editing thanks to school, I am back full time now. But I feel I've made some great contributions, some great friends, and have proven myself to be a good user. I try to look out for the best interest in everyone involved.

The reason I am requesting adminship is I would like to participate in areas could use another set of hands WP:DYK is something I recently got into with the Did You Know of Project Runway Australia. I would help there by checking all the proposed hooks on T:TDYK and possibly updating when need be.

WP:AIV is another area which I would like to participate in. Not much else to say here, I would give blocks to those who need blocking (Have continued vandalism past a level 4 warning and is currently active) and I would remove those who do not need blocking (Insufficiently warned, etc.)

WP:AN/I is an area I have been participating in recently, offering my 2 cents in where I think opinions are needed. I will not be able to fix every problem a user has, but I sure can try.

And lastly, WP:OVERSIGHT, even though I do not have Oversight, I still have the ability to email oversight of personal information. I would be able to delete diffs which show compromising information and send email with deleted diffs.

I do not feel an administrator is someone who is above anyone else on this project. I believe an administrator is like a team leader or a manager. Everyone directs their complaints to them, and it is their responsibility to fix it or make it better. In fact, it's their responsibility to not make the CEO angry. =D <3 Tinkleheimer TALK!! 04:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

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:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?

A: After taking a little bit to get used to everything, I would start being active in WP:DYK, WP:AIV, and WP:AN/I. I could possibly venture into WP:RFPP or WP:AFD, but I currently have no intentions to. :)

2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

A: It is hard to point out specific contributions, because I feel I am spread out all over the place. Often times I contribute to reality show articles, such as Project Runway, Project Runway Australia, Top Design, Shear Genius, etc. A lot of my other areas are just random articles I've come across, including video games, anime, actors/actresses, movie, etc. I guess the one(s) I am currently most proud of are Cozy Dog Drive-in and Project Runway Australia. I particularly did a lot of work for Cozy Dog, learning how to use Google Books for the first time.

3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

A: I try to avoid conflicts, but at times I will voice my opinions. Whenever voicing my opinion, I try to keep a level head and a Neutral Point of View (wait, is that possible?) Whenever you talk about a user or make fun of someone, remember that there is someone on the other side of that screen, and it could really hurt. WP:AGF
