Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Johnleemk

Johnleemk

I have been a Wikipedia member since September 2003 and have contributed a little over 1000 edits to the English Wikipedia since then, and one or two dozen edits on the Malay Wikipedia. I have not been involved in any edit disputes, and I believe I have sufficient understanding of Wikiquette. I am requesting adminship to assist in administering VfD and speedy deleting patent nonsense (I used to follow recent changes a lot but have been unable to do so recently due to lack of time). I understand if I am considered too new to become an admin, especially since this is a self-nomination, and will not mind if you can provide constructive comments on my manner of contributing to Wikipedia, regardless of whether you support this nomination.

5. Qualified, has shown a good grasp of policy and etiquette. —No-One Jones 12:42, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
6. Quality over quantity. Calm and well-spoken in exchanges with other editors. Wile E. Heresiarch 17:32, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
7. While he doesn't quite have a comfortable quantity of edits, I trust him and I hope sysoping him can boost his contribution. ✏ Sverdrup 01:37, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
8. Quality over quantity, indeed. Cribcage 03:33, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
9. After consideration an review of your edits, I've decided to support. Not that it matters. You have a healthy amount of support already. Quality over quantity, I concede. I just hope you're more active in the future! blankfaze | •­• 04:35, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
10. Seems a good contributor, and certainly VfD needs more people willing to maintain it (IMO). Jwrosenzweig 16:09, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Oppose

• 1000 edits? I've only been here since April and I have almost 2000. I'm kind of wary of supporting someone with only 1000 edits if they're self-nominating. The guidelines say 500-1000 edits are necessary before people should consider your nomination seriously. It also says self-nominators should "wait until you exceed the usual guidelines by a good measure. Oppose, for now, but I am open to reconsidering. blankfaze | •­• 02:55, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I read the guidelines. However, I believe in quality, not quantity. I agree that most of my edits are inconsequential, but I have contributed to several articles. I helped bring The Beatles up to featured level. I have written non-stub articles on subjects not covered extensively in Wikipedia, such as Bandar Utama (if American towns have articles, so can any other nation) and Persekutuan Pengakap Malaysia. I created the boxes for the various Prime Ministers of Malaysia. I helped start Malaysian general election, 2004 and Malaysian general election. I also believe that given how long I've been on Wikipedia, I have been able to sufficiently understand the various policies, etc. of Wikipedia. I have actually contributed even before September last year, as an anonymous user (I wrote 95% of Education in Malaysia). Johnleemk | Talk 06:20, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

1. No offense to Johnleemk - but for now, I oppose. I think it is still to soon to judge. Kingturtle 01:57, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Neutral

1. This may sound unusual, but I'm neutral only because of this user's relatively few discussions on his talk page and other talk pages. While this is probably a good sign, I feel it's important to be able to gauge how a prospective admin relates directly to other users, as well as editing articles.
