Can't sleep, clown will eat me

(10/0/0) ending 18:03 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Can't sleep, clown will eat me (talk · contribs) – CSCWEM has been editing only since November 23rd of last year, but wow, what a fantastic nearly-two months it has been! He's somehow managed to make more than 4500 edits in that time! He's a tireless contributor to WP:AIAV (I've seen him add many a vandal there), and I suspect being able to block those vandals himself would be a great boon for him, and would mean less work for me. :-P I've also seen him around here (RfA) and doing RC patrol. He's a fine editor, and the only strike against him is the length of time he's been here—a minor quibble, considering all the good he's done (and all the bad he hasn't done). —BorgHunter (talk) 18:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I humbly accept, thank you. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 20:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Support

1. Support - great vandal fighter. Let's make him work harder. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 21:42, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
2. Support - I constantly see him fighting vandalism, often beats me to the punch on reverts. Would make a good admin. VegaDark 21:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
3. Support hysterical username, great vandal fighter. I would like to see more article creation however. But since admin tools are mostly for vandal fighting... I'd give him the mop.  ALKIVAR™ 02:24, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
4. Strong Support very good vandal fighter, but a tad too soon but who cares. --Jaranda 02:28, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
5. Support A very good editor and vandal fighter, I'm surprised he isn't already an admin. Jtkiefer ---- 02:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
6. Support on the count that I would have nominated him if BorgHunter didnt already get to it! A brilliant vandalwhacker. NSLE _(T+C) 02:32, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
7. Support not even two months here and is one of the better vandal fighters I've come across. I almost never support an admin nominee with less than 3 months of experience, but this will be an exception.--MONGO 02:36, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
8. Support; almost exactly mirror what MONGO said. I rarely support someone this new, but this one's exceptional. Give him the rollback and delete buttons. Antandrus (talk) 02:38, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
9. Support; I fully support User:Can't eat clown will sleep me..........wait... — Ilyanep (Talk) 02:45, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
10. Support Don't sleep, vandals will eat us. KillerChihuahua 02:52, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
11. Support for now--Piedras grandes 02:56, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Oppose. Less than two months is far too new. Try again in another month and a half. You'll learn a lot and be surprised by much of it. Some decent level of experience is essential in an admin, and under two months is just not enough for me. -Splash 02:54, 17 January 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. Primarily, I would continue to keep tabs on my 2,800+ page watchlist (and 330+ anonymous IP list). I believe that having access to the native rollback tool versus substitutes like Godmode-light would be a boon to my efforts in helping revert vandalism around here. As far as administrative tasks go, I intend to assist with Category:Candidates for speedy deletion which meet WP:CSD criteria, clear out some of the low hanging fruit on Category:Articles to be merged, and respond to requests on WP:AIV and WP:ANI.

2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A. It is always a surprise to me when I want to research an interesting subject on Misplaced Pages and discover that an article doesn't already exist for it, so in that respect I am proud of all my original contributions. My personal favorite though would have to be Mark Zupan, hero of the documentary film Murderball.

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. Yes, the first conflict that comes to the front of my mind would be with User:Superfan who had been spamming the Jessica Simpson article under several different pseudonyms for a fair length of time. Superfan had been reinserting links to his/her own website under fake edit summaries and employed the use of sockpuppets to circumvent the 3RR policy. After this person was blocked, my own userpage was vandalized as some sort of retaliatory measure; since nothing is really permanent on Misplaced Pages, this minor attack to my page didn't stress me out or cause me any grief, instead I decided to research things a bit more, and discovered that the same person was also hitting up a number of other celebrity articles as well, and reported my findings to the Administrators' noticeboard. We have not had that same problem since.
