JuJube (talk · contribs) - JuJube's been registered since August '05 and has amassed over 21000 edits - so he's plenty active enough here. Article work is mainly on Yu-Gi-Oh/Animé pages, as well as vandal reversions. He takes part in many admin areas, including WP:AIV and WP:AFD. He definitely has the necessary experience to perform admin chores, and thus I think he should be granted the admin mop. Majorly _{(o rly?)} 16:10, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Sure, I'll give it a shot this time. JuJube 00:34, 29 March 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? Please check out Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.

A: Reviewing articles for speedy deletion would probably be something I spend a lot of time doing. I often check Newpages and am surprised at how long some articles last. Administrators have a lot to do, and I hope to help by giving them less to worry about. I'd also like to be able to help mediate some debates; as I am pretty much neutral about everything, I can be an impartial mediator. Ultimately, I'd just like to do whatever I can.

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

A: Even though I no longer monitor it, God Passes By (a historical book of the Bahá'í Faith) was started by myself, and it's become quite a nice page. There are other articles that I do still monitor that I feel pleased with, but I feel that contributions in an environment like this should be attributed to the group and not necessarily to the individual.

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: To be fair, I'm pretty blunt and that has gotten me into some conflicts with others, but I believe that the responsibility of being a Misplaced Pages administrator will give me reason to be less matter-of-fact and more accomodating. I've resisted the idea of being an admin for a long time because I was worried about my ability to do so, particularly on the few topics that I do feel strongly about; but I've changed a great deal since then and I think I can do well at the job if given a chance. When I'm feeling stressed about a debate, the best thing for me is to walk away, do something else for awhile and get emotional and mental distance. I often feel less angry in the morning, in short. ^_^

General comments

• See JuJube's edit summary usage with mathbot's tool. For the edit count, see the talk page.
• A previous RfA was requested for me when I was "Danny Lilithborne" and I turned it down because I felt I was going to get a kidney transplant shortly; that situation has changed, unfortunately, but as a result I believe I will have the time to notify the rest of WP in the eventuality that that happens. In any case, if voters have their doubts, I won't hate you for voting "oppose". :)

Please keep criticism constructive and polite.

Oppose

Neutral

1. Neutral A little concerned that JuJube did not warn the author of Haldibug, probably a minor oversight due to working on other possible hoaxes.--Ng.j 08:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
