CharlotteWebb (talk · contribs) - My fellow Wikipedians, I give you, CharlotteWebb, as a candidate for administratorship.

Since May 29th, 2006, CharlotteWebb has been continually improving the encyclopedia with her great work. In that time, she has amassed about 13,000 edits, and of those 13,000; she has over 8,500 to the Mainspace; over 1,300 to Project-space, with activity at AIV, AN, AN/I, and other RfA's; nearly 900 to the Category and Template spaces; and over 80 to Images. However, it should be noted that CharlotteWebb's edits are high in quality as well as quantity, as she helps reference articles and make sure they are up to the standards. When it comes to communicating, she is very honest and direct, but at the same time, CharlotteWebb is very civil, and she is also a very calm user, not one to get upset easily or anything like that. I personally think she will make an excellent administrator, hence my nomination for her. Acalamari 17:19, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:
Alright, let's do this thing. — CharlotteWebb 18:52, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Misplaced Pages as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: In addition to continuing to do what I have been doing, closing AFDs, CFDs, and RFDs here and there, as well as transferring free images (of credible origin) to the Wikimedia Commons, I would like to take an active role in deleting copyright infringements, protecting heavily vandalized pages, unprotecting pages which have been protected for too long, making edits to protected templates as needed, and blocking persistent and/or blatant vandals. I would also like to help maintain deletion review, which (more than any other wiki-process) I feel could benefit from a greater level of diversity.
2. What are your best contributions to Misplaced Pages, and why?
A: I do not consider myself a great or prolific writer, though I do try. I'd say the article to which I have made the most significant contribution is that of the great Jewish-American Chief Justice Jay Rabinowitz of the Alaska Supreme Court (no longer a stub ). I have created countless disambiguation pages such as , but I have not bothered to maintain a complete list. Recently I got hooked watching NBA games this season and have developed a strange fascination with basketball, creating articles like , , and maybe others I've forgotten. I've also written a few a few album and film stubs here and there , and helped keep current event articles current, such as .
However... my proudest contributions to Misplaced Pages have been the photography I have been able to locate and upload to the Wikimedia Commons to help illustrate articles. A small selection of articles containing my uploads: . While not my own (I'm not photographer) they have all been free to anyone to use under Creative Commons licenses, and have in many cases replaced previously standing "fair use" images, which by their nature should probably not have been uploaded in the first place .
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: Mmmm, conflicts. Well I do remember my slightly perturbed response to one user about his poor taste rhetoric/humor in an unfunny AFD nomination about an executed convict , though he later apologized (to me for some reason). There was also a short little edit war on Dave Grohl where a user continued to put his "fair use" image back in the infobox even after I'd found a free replacement because he felt that the photo I uploaded was a "piece of garbage" . In the end this was peacefully resolved when he himself found another free photo that he was happy with. I also had grievances with HagermanBot from time to time , and I also found myself in the middle of a WP:LAME edit war on Misplaced Pages:Be bold . I have explained my reasoning both on the talk page and the mailing list. I think I've remained pretty calm through all of these issues, though not to the point where I would let anything unacceptable pass without comment.
