Natl1 (talk · contribs) - As a user who has been with Misplaced Pages for about 5 1/2 months, I believe I would be able to help Misplaced Pages more if I became an admin. On Misplaced Pages, I patrol vandalism daily and the ability to block users and delete nonsense pages. I also help write articles on Misplaced Pages, bringing Coca-Cola to GA status and working on it becoming a GA. I hope the Misplaced Pages community trusts me to grant me admin tools so I can help Misplaced Pages even more. Natl1 (Talk Page) (Contribs) 20:25, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept my self-nom.--Natl1 (Talk Page) (Contribs) 20:36, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

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

1. What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with?

A: As mentioned in my nom above, I anticipate helping Misplaced Pages with admin tools by deleting nonsense pages and other speedy deletion candidates. Also I intend to block troublesome vandals I come across and the ones that are reported at WP:AIV. In addition, I may semi-protect some pages experiencing very heavy vandalism.

2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A: In the main space, I am proud of my contributions to Coca-Cola, mentioned above in the nom. Also I am very pleased with my creation of WP:IFU, which allows unregistered users to submit photos to Misplaced 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: In my time on Misplaced Pages, I tried and try to stay ou of edit conflicts and other conflicts by assuming good faith. However, one such incident did occur to me when restoring versions on Campeonato Brasileiro Série B which had talk page consensus. The conflict ended when consensus was confirmed through a straw poll.

Discussion

Support

1. Support An excellent candidate. I find the oppose vote by Xoloz frankly stupid. He has obviously not bothered to check if the candidate has indeed addressed the issues (almost all the concern was inexperience which Natl1 clearly has not got now). Over-eagerness is great, we need hardworkers and Natl1 is a hardworker. Lollipop Lady 20:55, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

   Lollipop Lady, there's no need for such hostility. Please observe WP:CIVIL. Thank you. Húsönd 21:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

   Thank you, Husond, for the link which I have observed. Lollipop Lady 21:36, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

2. Support Personally I would like to see more substantive contribtions, however the user has shown admirable dedication to reverting vandalism and similar maintainence. Since admin powers are useless for the former and very useful for the latter, I hope this nomination succeeds. Mark83 21:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
3. Support. Seems good. RyanGerbil10(Упражнение В!) 21:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Oppose Insufficient time has elapsed since first RfA for the editor to have addressed the issues raised therein. Editor seems over-eager, often a negative indicator. Especially given concerns raised last time about candidate's judgment, this nomination leaves me uneasy. Xoloz 20:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
2. Oppose per Xoloz. I would prefer more experience and a more noticeable attempt at addressing past concerns. Michael 20:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Neutral

1. Neutral I think that you're on the right track for acquiring the admin tools but it has been just about seven weeks since your previous RfA closed and I would like to see you a little more rounded as an editor when you receive them. Extensive use of VandalProof demonstrates application to the ever-present task of vandal reversion but there's more to being an admin than that. Persuasion, negotiation, user education and demonstration of your knowledge of the policies and guidelines are all qualities that I would like to see you demonstrate in order to slide me over to support. If you have diffs for these things and others right now then I would love to see them as evidence of your competency for the role. (aeropagitica) 21:25, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
2. Neutral Pretty much per (aeropagitica), although a 7-week period between RFAs doesn't constitute a problem for me. However, I do feel like more evidence of Natl1's preparedness is needed (e.g. more reports to WP:AIV).--Húsönd 21:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
