Bigtop

Final (0/4/0) ended 02:52, 7 July 2006 (UTC) ENDED - Nominee withdraws

Bigtop (talk · contribs) – Likes to put username blocked/vandalism warnings if it was not applied on their user's userpage or talk page. Wants to block new users from the log directly to remind them don't create an inappropriate username. Also wanted to delete speedy deletion candidate pages as soon as possible.

Support

Oppose

1. Oppose The answers to the questions (most notably number two) are poor. The user makes it very clear (s)he wants to be an admin to block people, but the answers don't convince me the user has the experience. joturner 02:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
2. Strong Oppose User has only been editing actively since April. It's clear thats this users only intentions on getting adminship is to speedy delete things as fast as possible and block without hesitation. Low edit count and edit summary usage also does not show very much experience either. Until the user gets a tad bit more qualified, I don't think I can support. — The King of Kings 02:41 July 07 '06
3. Oppose 111 mainspace edits suggests a lack of experience editing articles, which after all, is what Wikipedia is for. He seems like a good user and a valuable contributor, and I'd probably support him at a later date if he gains more experience editing articles and doing some vandal reversion, as it seems that's what he'd want to deal with should he get the extra buttons. hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 02:43, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
4. Oppose seems to be only interested in blocking usernames and deleting articles. Yet I haven't seen a huge amount of edits in AfD discussion. I think the user needs more experience and needs to get involved with other parts of Wikipedia. User talk is very low, see users talk page and uneccasary archive.--Andeh 02:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

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 know how to block just by studying, but I need help deleting pages which are unnecessary.

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A: I'm mostly pleased on user pages who are blocked because I want to check if there is a warning applied on their user's talk page. If not, I'm pleased to put the appropriate warning to the user's talk 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: I have done just minor conflicts over editing in the past and I feel that users should be happy.
