Edcolins (talk · contribs) – Edcolins has been a member of the Misplaced Pages community since March of 2004. During that time he has amassed more than 11,000 edits on a very consistent basis (20 edits per day, consistent average since May 2004). He has made significant contributions in law and related topics, Misplaced Pages:Requested articles, Misplaced Pages:Cleanup and a large number of other areas. He has been active in Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion, disambiguation work, and vandal fighting. In his contributions and user interactions he has been level headed, patient, and professional. He uses edit summaries 80% of the time. I have very (insanely?) high standards for nominating a candidate, and Edcolins meets my requirements. --Durin 19:18, 20 October 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. Blocking vandals if necessary. Deleting an article for which there is a consensus. Any of the admin tasks whenever necessary.
I don't plan any major change in the way I contribute. I am just dedicated to help the community concentrate in writing excellent articles, by reaching consensus on NPOV matter, adding references, creating disambiguation pages, redirect, merging articles, and so on.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I'll give five examples. "European Patent Convention" is a precise article, with a good perspective I think. "Inventive step and non-obviousness" is a fruitful "transatlantic" collaboration. "Claim" is technically rich. "Software patents under the EPC" has a solid structure. And "London Agreement" helps to understand this legal arrangement, I think (well I hope so!).
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. See Talk:Alicante and Talk:Jerome H. Lemelson (I posted a RfC for this "threat").
I think I have progressively improved the way I deal with conflicts. I basically try to prevent them, by being as NPOV as possible and discussing the matter on talk pages as early as possible (as in Is the source reliable?). I have met a lot of reasonable wikipedians actually.
