Kimchi.sg

Discuss here (14/0/0) ending 20:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Kimchi.sg (talk · contribs) – I have been contributing to Wikipedia for about 1 year - my first edit was on 13 June 2005, but I did not really edit much until about February this year. Following the concise list style of Petros471, here are my contributions according to several criteria:

  • Edit count? Not a lot, but not too little either. The breakdown with Interiot's Tool 2 is given in the Comments section.
  • Time around? Mentioned that already. :)
  • Personal attacks? I can't recall having made any.
  • Edit summaries? Yes.
  • Email enabled? Yes.
  • Controversial user page? No.
  • Edit warring or blocks? No.

Project space-wise, I have been involved mostly in RfA and AfD, with an occasional voice in DRV, MfD and other deletion discussions. For articles, I edit a varied choice of articles, starting off with the Singapore-related ones, but also doing cleanup and wikifying. Although I'm not a prolific vandal fighter, I do revert vandalism, especially to watchlisted pages. The community can hereby decide whether I am suitable for the janitor's mop.

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept my own nomination for adminship. Kimchi.sg 20:00, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: I anticipate helping with the occasional backlog at C:CSD, closing AfDs (and revive WikiProject Deletion sorting along the way), updating Did You Know? on the Main Page if the entries grow stale (there have been recent occasions when the section wasn't updated for a whole day!), responding to page protection requests, and tacking the backlog at Category:Images with the same name on Wikimedia Commons. Kimchi.sg 20:00, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I'm most pleased with my changes to hanging, because my re-organisation of the article (together with edits by Karada and Arwel Parry) effectively ended a 4-month long revert war. Between 6 December 2005 and 27 April 2006, the article did not last more than 3 days unprotected without the same POV paragraph being pushed in (typical example). I added in a summarised and sourced version of the Singapore paragraph, and the vandalism ceased after that. I also seem to have a soft spot for company articles, having rewritten ProgressSoft from scratch (which survived DRV and a 3rd AfD), adding references to RightNow Technologies [1], and rewriting KLG Systel from a copyvio into an encyclopedic stub. [2] Of the 6 articles I have written which made it to DYK, the most difficult to write was Escape from Paradise, as I do not have a copy of the book and had to work with the authors' website, which contains strong anti-Singapore government POV, and extract material from there NPOV enough for the 'pedia. Kimchi.sg 20:00, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
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 have previously been stressed over the repeated insertion of unsourced POV statements into the hanging article by anon editor(s). As I knew the statements had to be documented somewhere, I went to Google for sources once I had the time, and inserted a shorter version with references. (See answer to question 2 for details.) The same has been true for The Straits Times; for this article, I have made a couple of reverts and refrained from further edits to the article, because I have my bias towards these claims. I believe that over time, we can still work the claims into the article in a verifiable, NPOV manner. I will deal with future stress by 1. stepping back (including the use of Wikibreaks) and thinking about peaceful ways to end the conflict, and 2. discussing changes or actions with others before deciding what to do.
