Mb1000 (talk · contribs) – I, Mb1000, hereby nominate myself to become a Wikipedia administrator. Despite being relatively new to Wikipedia, (I've been a registered user since Feb. 1st, 2005) I've really tried to contribute as much as I can. I have over 2000 edits, but you're welcome to check my edit count here. When starting new articles and stubs, I try to make them as high-quality as possible, although, as is often the case, the articles greatly improve over time. I have spoken time-and-again against vandalism and for neutral articles, and I have tried to edit out as much biased material as I could find.

As I believe in transparancy and honesty, I will here admit that during my first few months of using Wikipedia I was a little over-zealous with regards to adding images and such, and so I ran into a few of Possible Copyright Violation problems. I have since become much more careful about the images I add, so I hope that these past problems won't be held against me. I have gotten into one edit war (watch how it unfolded here), and now I regret it and wish it would have never happened. It was a childish display of the damned male ego. Again, I hope that this won't be held against me.

I truly want to be an administrator so that I can contribute even more to Wikipedia, so please support my nomination. Thank-you. Mb1000 01:18, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Oh yes, I do accept my own nomination. Mb1000 01:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support

Oppose

  1. Weak Oppose, User could do with an increase in the talk namespace, and the past issues are somwhat troubling. Also, article edits could be a tad more productive. Seems like a good chap, however, and am currently debating over a swith to support. -ZeroTalk 02:02, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose less than 100 wikipedia edits over that long of a time is a knockout for me sorry --Jaranda wat's sup 01:58, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral

  1. Neutral Mb1000 has few edits to the Wikipedia namespace. Perhaps you could become more active in RfAs and AfDs. Will probably support in a few months. --NaconKantari e|t||c|m 02:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

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. Well, I'm particularly passionate about combating vandalism. So I'd be engaged in combating that. I will admit, I'm a busy guy, so I can't do as much as I'd like. But who knows maybe I'll lose my job. :)
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Well, I'm especially proud of my work on the articles Canadian Heraldic Authority and Women in heraldry, both of which I started. I've worked a lot on other articles such as Good Night, and Good Luck., Time (magazine), and Everybody Loves Raymond. I've added many images to Wikipedia, and I do the weekly cover update on the TIME magazine page.
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. Yes, unfortunatly, as mentioned above, I did get into a nasty edit war with a particular user (User:Madchester). I acted like a kid, and it was stupid. I'm resolved not to fall into the 'ego trap' again. I will try to avoid another edit war at all costs.

The following are some optional questions. There are no correct answers to these questions and I simply want to know your opinions rather than see a correct answer. Thanks! --Deathphoenix 02:52, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

4. When would you use {{test3}}/{{test4}}, and when would you use {{bv}}?
A.
5. What would you do if a user reverts an article four times in slightly more than 24 hours? (Thus obeying the letter of WP:3RR.)
A.
6. In your opinion, when should you speedy delete an article under CSD A7 (unremarkable people or groups) and when should you nominate it for an AFD instead?
A.
7. How would you apply NPOV to a controversial article that you are editing?
A.
8. What are your greatest frustrations with Wikipedia?
A.
