Nomination

E2eamon (talk · contribs) – I do a fair amount of NPP, and lately I have noticed that Category:Candidates for speedy deletion frequently shows a backlog. Even for the most blatantly obvious CSD candidates (i.e. “This is a test page...test...test...ajkl;” (G2) or “Joe is a cool boy” (A7)), it can take well over an hour before an admin has a chance to delete it. This, in my opinion, is unacceptable. We need more admins working on this. Thus, I decided to run for adminship in hopes that I could help with this (and other areas too). For those who want the numbers: I have over 10,000 edits, including over 500 deleted edits. I have numerous DYK’s (both nominations and creations) as well as one GA (Disi Water Conveyance Project). I also was an early member at the begining of the WP:Wiki Guides project. I do have rollback, autopatrolled and reviewer permissions. E♴(talk) 18:33, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

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

A: As stated above, I intend to help with . I have also noticed an occasional backlog at WP:AIV, and would like to help out there as well. A good number of my edits have been anti-vandalism and CSD tagging, and so I feel confident that, with caution, I would be able to work at AIV and CSD successfully. I also contribute a lot at WP:MfD, and might perform the occasional close there. I have done a fair amount of T:DYK work- mostly reviews and nominations (although I have filled up the prep areas a few times) and would be willing to help if there was ever a need for more administrators there.

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

A: I am most proud of my work on the article Disi Water Conveyance Project, which I created, got on the main page in a DYK, and, with the help of other users, made it a GA. I knew nothing about the subject when I started (got it off the requested articles list), and so it was a real learning experience for me. That said, my best contributions are probably my anti-vandalism work, which does account for a large portion of my edits. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing that I have prevented the insertion of vandalism across thousands of Wikipedia pages.

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: As I said above, I do contribute a lot to MfD. This, of course, means that I often find myself in disagreements with other users in the discussion. However, I always remain calm and focus on the issue at hand (should the page be deleted) and do not let disagreements with a user in one discussion prevent me from fully supporting their viewpoint in another. Working to remove vandalism has resulted in my userpage being vandalised many times, as well as personal attacks from vandals. Those, however, I do not take seriously and they cause me no stress.
