Nabla (talk · contribs) – (Self-nomination) I'm a registered user since 2004-07-31, after a long break I've been here regularly since 2005-04-24. I have 3314 edits at the moment I write this, more or less 2600 of them since April. (see kate's tool for distribution and updated numbers). Take a look at my page for some more info.
Why do I want to become an admin? I like encyclopedias ever since I was a young boy, I have read some in full and still do. Helping to build one interests me even more than the possibility to write about some subjects of which I know something useful of. I think that being an admin will allow me to give an extra help to build a better encyclopedia. So here am I, proposing my self for that task.--Nabla 18:09, 30 September 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.)
- Being an admin is about (un)deleting and protecting pages, reverting vandalism and blocking vandals Right now I see myself as more useful helping on 'house cleaning' duties: closing AfD discussions, also at other *fD pages. Also to keep an occasional eye at New Pages and Recent Changes, although I spend more of my time there wikifying/copy editing than reverting or requesting speedy deletes that would be handy too. As to the rest only time will tell.
- 2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- The expansions at Gerês and Pedro Nunes, because I had to learn more about something I like. The same goes for most of the few I still keep an eye on. Yet most of the times I add/remove something I keep it on my watchlist for a while, to check for reaction and then I let them go. This is a wiki, not much use in trying to keep track of everything I wrote.
- 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?
- Not really. On occasional differences of opinion I stated mine and tried to understand the other(s). In my opinion most edit/revert wars are a rather foolish waste of time and energy. They could be avoided if all involved kept cool, which is relatively easy to do in the 'net', if you wish to. Just do something else or log out - there's life beyond WP... -, and get back to it some time later - that's day(s), not hours - others will support your opinion, or not... If they don't... you don't have to force your's onto others. The future? Who knows about the future? I don't... still I don't see why, or how, I would change myself much.
