Nomination

ZooFari (talk · contribs) – I previously nominated myself a few months ago (here), but was closed due to WP:NOTNOW. I decided to renominate using a different subpage because my experiences have changed (in case anyone was wondering why). So here I am again!

I am currently a rollbacker and enjoy using both Huggle and Twinkle. I'd like to thank those who designed it because it makes vandal work very easy! I also welcome new users with Friendly and seek adoptees by participating in Adopt-a-user. I currently have only one, and I am always willing to help new users. I also help at the Help desk, as well as asking questions myself.

In addition, I am very skilled at tables/templates. As you can see my user page, I know very well on how to create multiple transclusions to build up a template and how to make different variants of tables. I am also a big fan of photography and participate at both Featured pictures and Valued pictures. ZooFari 23:28, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Misplaced Pages as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
A: After reading through administration pages, I would use the admin tools that would interest me and continue doing what I usually do. I probably would not be up to blocking or protecting anything as a beginner, unless it would get very disturbing. My main target in admin work is doing user requests, as they are easier to do. Examples: consensus to delete at AFD, G7 tags, other obvious requests. If I get adminship, I would first go to the adminschool as I did with rollback (I'm one of those users who are nervous to do something wrong).
2. What are your best contributions to Misplaced Pages, and why?
A: My best contributions to Misplaced Pages are those who involve tools and gadgets (Twinkle, Huggle, Friendly, etc). I welcome new users with Friendly, revert vandalism with Huggle, and use many of Twinkle's tools (tb, revert, etc.). I also participate in photographic projects and participate in Commons as well.
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: There have been situations where I've tried to give out considerations, but receive negative, disrespectful responses. Whenever situations like this occur, I usually just apologize the user and ignore my contributions that caused it, unless the user's consensus was to revert or fix it.

Oppose
  1. Sorry, but if you're willing to revert this as vandalism along with a a level three warning, you're far too hairtrigger. I appreciate you apologised when the editor complained, but for every editor who sticks round to read your apology and accepts it, there will be more who are driven off in disgust (I note that this editor hasn't contributed since). And quite frankly, if you think this is a legitimate {{prod}} tagging (less than two hours ago, not in the dim-and-distant past) there's no way on earth I'd trust you with a delete button. – iridescent 00:11, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
  2. Oppose Per Iridescent those are some scary links, no way that "vandalism" warranted a level three warning. Add on the bad prod, and you've got an oppose.--Giants27 /C 00:14, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
