'''Jay Stacy''' (born [[August 9]], [[1968]] in [[Melbourne, Victoria]]) is a former [[field hockey]] midfielder from [[Australia]], who participated in four [[Summer Olympics]] for his native country, starting in [[1988 Summer Olympics|1988]]. From 1992 on, at each appearance the skilled veteran won a medal.

Stacy, [[nickname]]d ''Joey'', is Australia's most capped hockey player, who appeared in a record 319 internationals (160 goals) between [[1987]] and [[2000]]. His size and strength on the ball made him a focal point within The Kookaburras squad. Apart from the Olympic Games, he represented his native country in three [[World Hockey Cup|World Cups]] and thirteen [[Champions Trophy]] tournaments.

{{User|Dark Dragon Flame}} - I have been an editor in Wikipedia durring the last five months. During my first two months I dedicated my time to learn and adapt to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. During this time period I joined three WikiProjects one Task force and founded the [[TF:DMC|Devil May Cry Task Force]]. Today following a suggestion made by a fellow user, I humbly present my nomination for your consideration. [[User:Dark Dragon Flame|<big>'''凶'''<big>]] 18:23, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Stacy played club hockey in Australia for the [[Victorian Vikings]] (then known as the [[Melbourne Redbacks]]), and in [[The Netherlands]] for [[Eindhoven]]'s [[Oranje Zwart]], with whom he won the Dutch title in the spring of [[2005]]. Afterwards he resigned and became a hockey coach in [[Belgium]].

====Questions for the candidate====

* [http://www.hockey.org.au/ Hockey Australia]

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following <u>optional</u> questions to provide guidance for participants:

<br>

:'''1.''' What admin work, if any, do you intend to take part in?

{{start box}}

::'''A:''' I have been a frecuent contributor to [[Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism]], and I have noticed that there is frecuently a certain ammount of "Backlog", I will provide my help with that when available or needed. I have also noticed that some pages tagged with speedy deletion tags are often overlooked and they sometimes manage to survive a day or so even if they are clear cases of vandalism or nonsense, I will try to keep up with this kind of pages and monitor them to avoid recreation. I can also help in cases where pages are moved without prior disscusion and users are unable to move them back because the creation of a redirect page prevents the user from doing so, these kind of cases are frecuently seen in the Dragon Ball pages where characters are given a wide variety of names.

{{end box}}

:'''2.''' What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

<br>

::'''A:''' I have contributed mostly to anime, professional wrestling, baseball, basketball and video games pages. The contribution that makes proud is the foundation of the [[TF:DMC|Devil May Cry task force]], a group focused on raising and improving all [[Devil May Cry]] related pages, as a group we have been able to raise three pages to ''Good Article'' status and one to ''Featured Article status'' as well as having one as a FAC at the momment, the fact that all this has been made within a month makes me believe that there is hope in our goal of making the internet a better place.

:'''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?

[[Category:1968 births|Stacy, Jay]]

::'''A:'''During my first month here I was in a mild edit conflict with [[User:Finsfan8499]], where I reverted the page three times and warned the user in an edit not to do so in a manner that may not have been polite, the incident was ultimately resolved in the article's talk page. I was a little stressed out when I was attending [[Devil May Cry]]'s featured article candidacy, but I tried to satisfy all the points presented and took it easy.

:'''4.''' Under what circumstances should one [[WP:IAR|ignore a rule]]?

[[Category:Field hockey players at the 1988 Summer Olympics|Stacy, Jay]]

::'''A:''' Although such cases are rare, there are some instances where the Consensus rule needs to be broken, this includes when a number of users break [[WP:COI]] and gather to keep either a page or material that clearly violates POV or is a violation of copyright (some pages are copied exactly as found on a source, but it seems useful wich makes users vote to keep it despite it being a violation of intellectual property), other rules such as Don't infringe copyrights and Avoid bias should never under any circumtance be broken. Shortly a policy or headline should not be broken unless it conflicts with other policies or if doing so clearly improves Wikipedia as a whole. -[[User:Dark Dragon Flame|<big>'''凶'''<big>]] 20:29, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

====Discussion====

I have had personal experience with difficult administrators in Wikipedia, and feel that a more stringent review process is necessary to ensure that only patient, impartial people in

the community are elevated to administrator status. I consider editing impulsively, or as the result of a vendetta, to be the strongest warnings against adminship. That said, I found a quite angry comment left as a result of a factual error in this candidates' beloved anime character biographies:

[edit] DON'T DO IT

Listen, Goku IS NOT 6'1 HE IS 5'7. If you have a source that states otherwise provide it or at least comment it on the DISSCUSION PAGE, it will be reverted no matter how many times you put it, so don't waste your time-Dark Dragon Flame 04:28, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe that an administrator should behave in such a way, and recommend against promoting this user.{{unsigned|207.207.127.254|20:57, 27 April 2007}}

:Please create an account to take part in this Rfa..Thanks..--<span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-size:medium;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">[[User talk:Cometstyles|Cometstyles]]</span> 20:01, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

::No, that won't be necessary. Please read the part at the top of the page which states "Any Wikipedians, including users who do not have an account and/or are not logged in ("anons"), are invited to participate in the comments section and ask questions." (In fact, I think I was the one who typed that.) [[User:Picaroon9288|Picaroon]] [[User talk:Picaroon9288|(Talk)]] 20:16, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

:Ok..that clears everything..Thanks..--<span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-size:medium;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">[[User talk:Cometstyles|Cometstyles]]</span> 20:20, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

*I already commented about this, it should also be noted that I asked a few other users of the Dragon Ball WikiProject before reverting his edits wich were clearly vandalism by a user with vandalism warnings, this edit was a error by me and it happened within my first three weeks here. -[[User:Dark Dragon Flame|Dark Dragon Flame]] 20:03, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

'''Support'''

#'''Support''' - Your contributions indicate that you can be trusted and you have just over 4000 Edits and your contribution to Wikiproject is good and even though you aren't very experienced (5 months), I think you would be able to use the tool wisely..--<span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-size:medium;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">[[User talk:Cometstyles|Cometstyles]]</span> 19:54, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

'''Oppose'''

#'''Oppose, for now''' - Dark Dragon Flame, I'm sure you will make a good admin relatively soon (and I really like your answer to question #4 above), but the anon reservation above, along with your low participation in the Wikipedia namespace (a mere 241 edits), makes me want to see more administrative activity from you before I support. My advice is for you to become more involved in the Wikipedia community itself, such as at its desks and request pages, helping on backlogs, participating in policy discussions, etc. I'm sure you will do fine on these, and I look forward to supporting you for adminship in the future, say 3 to 6 months and about a thousand Wikipedia namespace edits from now. '''''[[User:The Transhumanist|The Transhumanist]]''''' 21:18, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

#'''Oppose''' I echo The Transhumanist's comments and want to point out that hopefully soon, you will run again with more experience and succeed then.

#'''Oppose''' I just don't think this user is quite ready to become an admin quite yet. I have reservations against an edit war, and even though explained, just rubs me the wrong way. [[User:Jmlk17|Jmlk17]] 21:31, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
