Request by the candidate
If you have any question, don't be shy but please make them as direct and clear as possible. If you give me a general/hypothetical situation, I can only give you a general/hypothetical answer, and I am very reluctant to commit on situations that are not well-defined.
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: Looking at doing some deletion work. Mostly WP:CSD G6 (technical deletions), WP:CSD G11 (obvious spam), WP:CSD G12 (copyrighted copypasta), and WP:CSD R3 (unlikely redirects). Most of these would be done in the context of maintaining the bot dump of journals cited on wikipedia, and in the patrolling of newly created article of potential interest to WikiProject Physics. Anything remotely controversial would be sent to WP:AfD (I hate WP:PROD) to garner feedback. I would also keep an eye on {{editprotected}} for template edits and whatnot, since I'm good with them. I'm completely uninterested in doing blocks and bans work (whatever the difference is), vandal fighting, and anything that otherwise tends to attract drama. I'm one of those who think all admins should be open to recall, and I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Misplaced Pages, and why?
- A: Well editing-wise, I brought List of baryons (mostly alone) and Quark (with several other editors) to featured status. I also do a lot of copy-editing, article assessment, article tagging, and so on. On the meta, I managed/coordinate WikiProject Physics and its taskforces. I also have lots of idea that seem to make pretty big impacts, even if others do the hefty work (aka bot-coding and bot-tweaking) as I lack the technical skills. Some of these ideas would include the Article Alerts notification system (where I do "customer support" type of work), generating dumps of |journal= parameters gather from citation templates, and several other bot-requests. I'm also involved at the content noticeboard and at the Manual of Style and many of its subpages. I'm also a rollbacker and an autoreviewer, and I got WP:AWB rights.
- 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: Yeah, but nothing really notable IMO (others may disagree however). The few conflicts I'm involved in are mostly those of differing opinions, and I'm more than capable of handling not getting my way (even though I may not like it, see this for example). In the rare times I deal with unreasonable people, I'm usually curt and remind people to focus on content rather than personal differences (see Talk:Yang–Mills theory#Marco Frasca and onwards for example). If that fails, I usually walk away and do something better with my time, or hail someone at WP:ANI or WP:3O.
- Additional optional questions from SparksBoy
- 4. You have had two other RfA requests, however this question is referring to the first one. What have you worked on? What have you changed? How have you improved? and why should I support you this time?

- Support good user. Trust them. And never come across anything which would lead me to oppose (will expand on my support should it look like things are going to other way :D)- Kingpin (talk) 19:36, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- Support I'd trust them with the tools. Alan16 (talk) 20:01, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- Support Erik9 (talk) 20:31, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- Support. I didn't find anything that would lead me to question your judgment (e.g. incivility, misunderstanding of policy, etc.). -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:54, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- I recall that when I once asked a question about sourcing on the Content noticeboard, not only did you answer my question very helpfully, but you also went out of your way, unasked, to help copy edit the article that I had mentioned, pointing out grammatical flaws, inconsistencies, and the like. That kind of helpful attitude, in addition to your other collaborative work on the project, indicates to me that you will be a very helpful sysop. NW (Talk) 21:43, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
