the wub (talk · contribs) – I've been around since March 2005, and think I am ready for the mop. I've been doing quite a bit of vandalism reversion recently using CDVF and Sam Hocevar's god-mode lite script. Plus I read and contribute on AN fairly often, since I find it a great source of information. I've also been described as a "VFD fanatic" (back when it was called that), though I consider myself neither a deletionist nor an inclusionist. For those who are interested I have 2781 edits, more details here. the wub "?!" 20:07, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

For the above reasons, I have nominated myself for adminship.

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)

A. Vandal fighting and newbie test reverting, which I do quite a bit of already. Actually being able to block the vandals, and delete the most obvious junk pages would be a great help. I also think I will close quite a few AfDs, I have plenty of experience in voting on them and have already done a few obvious keeps. Also keeping the Main Page up to date and fixing errors on it that are pointed out by non-admins.

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

A. I think my recent rescue of DJ Quietstorm from its AfD was one of my best achievements. I also did some work on List of Family Guy episodes and am hoping to get it up to featured list status soon after having taken a bit of a break from it.

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 come into conflict with Mike Garcia a few times in the past, which did cause me quite a bit of stress (though we were by no means the only participants in any of the conflicts). I tried to help resolve the situations through the talk pages. Otherwise I have only earned the ire of vandals that I can recall. In future I would remain civil, and ask for help from other uninvolved admins if needed.
