Alfakim
Discuss here (3/1/0) ending 16:40, July 9, 2006 (UTC)
Alfakim (talk · contribs) – In my time here at Misplaced Pages, I have seen few people with as much dedication as Alfakim. His insight into discussions at the Stargate WikiProject have proved invaluble, as has his knowledge of templates. I feel that as an admin, Alfakim would bring that same envigorating spirit to the rest of the community. American Patriot 1776 01:00, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Gratefully accepted. -- Alfakim -- talk 16:29, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Support

- Support Rama's Arrow 16:56, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Support, I know his work from WP:WPSG and he does it really well. --Tone 17:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose
- Oppose - The candidate's edits in WP namespace are mostly in Sandbox and Wikiproject Stargate, I doubt the candidate's knowledge in policies. Also, no evidence of vandalism fighting in the last 1500 mainspace edits, suggesting lack of RC patrol activities. I doubt the candidate's abilities in completing the things said in Q1. --WinHunter 17:09, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Further analysis of the user's edits to user talk namespace suggesting only ~10 "test" warnings were issued up till now. --WinHunter 17:21, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Neutral
- I really want to support this candidate. He is kind and courtious, and is willing to admit his mistakes. He is a tireless worker, and has shown that he is perfectly willing to do chores, even if they get mundane (I found the work on adding fair use rationales especially impressive here). The fact that he added a self-promotion into the DeviantART article concerns me. However, everybody does make mistakes. I will have to look into how this candidate reacted later today. I really want to support though. -- Where 17:53, 2 July 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'll help out with anything I can. Right now it'll be 90% RC Patrolling, deletion debates and particularly CSD, but I would gradually expand, and certainly be doing odd jobs where I can. I already do my best to remove vandalism, and being an admin would help out. Although not so much a chore, I would like to help out in the general maintenance and improvement of Misplaced Pages as well.
- 2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- A: I'm rather proud of my efforts at the Stargate WikiProject. I've helped bring it together and coordinate it, organising information on the project page and making it easy for contributors to see where work is needed. Within that project, I've put a lot of effort into bringing the article Stargate (device) up to FA standard (not quite there yet!). I've also made a lot of (I regard, useful!) templates, both inside and outside of the project, and contributed significantly to other miscellaneous articles.
- 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 recall some conflicts over the article deviantART; my response, as ever, was to discuss it on the talk page. Ultimately we were satisfied with removing some of the more WP:POV parts of the "Criticism" section. In general I think talk-page discussion is vital.
Question from Where 1. You find out that your best friend was indefinately blocked from Misplaced Pages for making a legal threat. You note that the user was not properly warned about Misplaced Pages's policy on legal threats, and that an indefinate block is overkill in this situation anyway. What do you do? If you unblock your friend, what summary do you use?
