Bookofjude (talk · contribs) – It is my honour to nominate Jude. Although he registered an account in 2004, he became active early this year. However, despite his relatively short time at Misplaced Pages, Jude has demonstrated that he has the willingness, knowledge, and temperament to be an administrator. He has over 4886 well-distributed edits, with over 2171 in mainspace. He reverts vandalism, creates, cleans up, expands, and adds references to articles, uploads pictures, and transwikis. He is also knowledgeable technically, having created {{cite paper}} and depreciated and migrated {{citepaper}}, {{citepaper publisher}}, {{citepaper version}}, and {{citepaper publisher version}}. Project-wise, Jude can be found on AfD, TfD, Category:Misplaced Pages references cleanup, and has recently begun assisting with the massive backlog of possible copyright violations. In my experience, Jude deals well with conflicts and stressful situations (he successfully mediated a dispute pertaining to Angelology and Zoroastrianism), and is always willing to help, both on IRC and on Misplaced Pages. Given the admin tools, Jude would, in my opinion, become an even greater asset to the community. Shanel 00:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept. Jude (talk,email) 00:05, 20 May 2006 (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 voters:

1.What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Misplaced Pages backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.

A: I like to involve myself in a little bit of everything. I try to patrol recent changes on at least a regular basis, and I flick through my watchlist looking for possible vandalism every time I click on it. I've recently been helping User:Lightdarkness with the copyright violation backlog, which is, thankfully, slowly starting to shrink back down into something that's manageable. I also try to regularly participate in Articles for deletion, and, although not as regularly, its various incarnations (Templates for deletion, etc), and also transwiki'ing to Wikisource articles that fit Wikisource's inclusion criteria.

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

A: I am, for the most part, pleased with all of my contributions, though I tend towards more minor edits than major, sweeping changes. User:Seqsea and I have been trying to keep Category:Misplaced Pages references cleanup to a managable level, and it is currently at sixteen articles, as compared to the sixty or so articles when we started. I'm also proud of my work to the Angelology section of Angel, relating to a dispute about whether or not information in it should be included in the lead paragraph. I also do a bit of work with templates, and I was quite proud of {{cite paper}}, which Shanel already mentioned. More recently I created an article for Michael Moorcock's book, The City in the Autumn Stars, which I'm quite pleased with.

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 try to avoid all types of conflict, as I find that it detracts from the object of writing an encyclopedia, so, to that extent, the only conflicts or disputes that I've become involved in have been relatively minor. As I mentioned in the previous question, I was involved as a third party in a dispute on Angel, regarding whether or not a few sentences about Zoroastrianism's influence on Angelology should be included in the lead paragraph. I suggested on the talk page that a section be created in the article where the topic could be treated neutrally, and had a hand in the development of that section. Asides from that, I think the majority of misunderstandings I was involved in were resolved quickly and left everybody happy.
