Requests_for_adminship/Aranda56_2|action=edit}} Vote here (9/3/2) ending 02:29 November 9 (UTC)

Aranda56 (talk · contribs) – This is a second nomination. first nom in which I withdrew a few hours later with a vote of 6/6/3. I wasn't really planning to ever self-nominate again.. but I really belive that I could be a great admin and I want to contribte and help the community with my powers as soon as possible as late serge of vandalism and impersonators of me which Im being affected by make me want to nominate myself rather to wait. I could normally be found around in AFD and RFA and doing heavy RC Patrol which is hard without a rollback button.And I already done some admin type work like closing Keep AFDs. I also do some cleanup of articles and removing of POV as well. I try to be a fair editor who normally avoid conflicts. I do my best to listen and I generally go with my own opinion instead of others . I have over 2600 edits in only two months and two weeks, but its not too little. I don't know if Im going to be accepted or no cause of time I only been here 2 and a half months and I also got slight consern over my first 2 edits in here as well over a month back. 2 Pages which I done vandalism while I was a clueless newbie but I hope that u guys help forgive my mistakes and Im ready to yield a mop and busket.I know this is a very big risk and the opps of not succiding is 60% around there and Im not planning to self-nominate again but Im going to try and hopefully pass. And I also hope that you can judge me in the quality of my edits rather than the time. JAranda | watz sup 02:29, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept as its a self-nom --JAranda | watz sup 02:50, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Support

1. Redwolf24 (talk) 03:03, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
2. Support, at least so he can unblock himself when hit with AOL blocks. Outside of that, I've seen him very active reverting vandalism, so my statute of limitations on those first "clueless newbie" edits has expired. Titoxd 03:32, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
3. Support because my grandson drooled over the oppose keys. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 03:41, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
4. The bucket to the mop, come on. --Merovingian (t) (c) (e) 04:09, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
5. Support I am absolutely convinced of this user's earnestness and sense of fairness -- judgment and a dash of humility are qualities an admin needs that can't easily be learned. Spelling isn't everything :), and doesn't have much to do with mopping up and respecting consensus which I see as an admin's two main jobs. Xoloz 04:47, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
6. Support Good Editor PRueda29 07:32, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
7. Support — we need more admins, this is a positive editor. Wackymacs 08:13, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
8. Support. Diligent is the word. --Nlu 09:37, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
9. Support - I see the user very active in reverting vandalism. That's what is needed! Svest 11:51, 2 November 2005 (UTC)  

Oppose

1. Oppose. Obviously a dedicated RC patroller, but I think two and a half months is too early. Some experience only comes with time. --NormanEinstein 03:44, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
2. Oppose. Too short a period. Not much difference in the wording of the first and second noms (looks like copy-paste). Just as I would not trust an editor w/o usage of good English, so is the case with an admin. belive, contribte, serge, consern, busket - 5 spelling mistakes in a self-nom coupled with bad grammar leave me with doubts if this is serious. --Gurubrahma 04:22, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

   Its true my spelling is just horrible :( but English is my main languge and the 3rd response was more or less a copy paste as I used my first nomination as a example for my second nominationa nd I havent had any known conflect since that nomination but I took nearly a half a hour for the nomination and this is serious. --JAranda | watz sup 04:27, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

3. Oppose Too soon. In the previous self-nomination you stated: Withdrewing I'll let someone nominate me later around late November when I reach 3 months just too soon. That was on 8 October. You seem a little impatient. You are doing work however, so I'll be glad to support later on. Turnstep 14:48, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
   • • Thats True Im a bit impatient and should have known better but its cause all those imperonators 10+ so far and vandalism made me looking at adminship a bit early than expected. --JAranda | watz sup 15:32, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

1. Neutral. It seems this guy would be good admin, but it seems he is really in a hurry - resubmitting rfa only in 2 weeks... I would recommend to wait another 2 weeks at least. --Monkbel 12:19, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

   Almost a month ago acually ;) --JAranda | watz sup 15:30, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

2. Really these quickie admin nominations are not good for the candidates. I won't oppose or support because I honestly don't think the candidate has been around for long enough for us to get to know him. --Tony Sidaway 13:17, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Comments

• Guess your famous now see User:Aranda56 the wannabe admin on Wheels!. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 05:33, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Another Impersonator Im supriced and confused that WoW knows that early my adminship. --JAranda | watz sup 06:24, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Your edit summary usage in the first 500 edits was 21%. In the last 500 edits, it's been 99%. Way to go! Constructive criticism; your English is terrible. You need to significantly improve your spelling abilities and your grammar. I would think your own self nomination would be something on which you would concentrate a fair bit of effort. Despite that, there are numerous errors. I'm no spelling/grammar nazi. We all make errors from time to time. But, the number of errors demonstrated just here in your self-nom is surprising. Admins are looked up to as examples of how to be a great contributor at Misplaced Pages. Please, improve your spelling and grammar. --Durin 13:45, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

1. • • Will do --JAranda | watz sup 15:30, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

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. I whould first help clear out the ever growing AFD backlog which is for me my main task I will do as a admin. I will also help Curps block those vandal bots and impersonators which normally attack Misplaced Pages in a Current Basis and I know I got impersonated more than 10 times now. I whould also be very active in RC Patrol reverting Vandalism with the rollback button and help out closing and deleting in AFD and deal with speedy canditates accoudinly.I am known as a deletionist but Im going with a 2/3 majority in AFD no less no more.

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

A. Im not a good article writer see List of Sports Flops but I have written a few decent articles as well Manny Mota I have 8 articles to my credit. I also help out in baseball,basketball, and american football pages and also Rappers pages which is my strength and did some severe POV cleanup before see Tracy McGrady. I also trying to work Miami my hometown to a featured article.

A.

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 normally try to avoid conflect with users but sometimes I get slightly stressed out. I was involved in a slight conflect with SPUI over some Traffic Circles in VFD but I mainly avoided it. Also lately I got my nerves being tried by User:Alpine88 who kept placing nonsense on many articles and I was the only one to reverted it because it was minor nonsense but still nonsense. And also I get slightly stressed out of vandals but I deal with it. If I become admin Im going to avoid stressesful situations like School Articles in AFD and other similar situations.

4. Have you edited under other user names? I ask because it's a bit unusual to see someone afd an article as their second edit. —Cryptic (talk) 05:48, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

A. I have seen this site before having a AOL IP number and the first article in the random pages that I saw was a Radio Station which I thought it shouldn't be there and I blanked it not knowing better and a warning soon after let me to the AFD tag. That was the next page I saw I think and placed the afd tag thinking nn. Then I kept testing the AFD Tag with the Bridney Spears article which was reverted before I reverted back and also the FA article as well and than I started voting is what I belived what happened --JAranda | watz sup 05:58, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
