Line 1: ===[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/MJCdetroit 2\|MJCdetroit]]=== The '''Government of Southern Sudan''' administrates the semi autonomous region of [[Southern Sudan]]. After several decades of civil war; the [[First Sudanese Civil War]] and the [[Second Sudanese Civil War]] between the northern part of [[Sudan]] and a south that demanded more regional autonomy – a war that was one of the longest lasting and deadliest wars of the latter 20th century ended upon the signing of a peace agreement in [[January 2005]]. <span class="plainlinks">'''[{{fullurl:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/MJCdetroit 2\|action=edit&section=4}} Voice your opinion]'''</span> ([[Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/MJCdetroit 2\|talk page]]) '''(19/0/1); Scheduled to end 02:00, [[28 July]] [[2007]] (UTC)''' {{User\|MJCdetroit}} - MJC has been editing Wikipedia consistently for two years now, with at least 50 edits per month since December 2005. He is one of our leading experts on [[Wikipedia:Templates\|templates]], with over 100 edits each to [[Template:Infobox Settlement]] and [[Template:Infobox Country]]. He also contributes to [[Wikipedia:Templates for deletion]] and other administrative jobs. In [[December 2005]], the Government of Southern Sudan was established after the adoption of [[The Interim Constitution of Southern Sudan]]<ref name="UN_review">[http://www.un.org/Depts/dpko/dpko/pub/year_review05/sudan.htm ''UN Year in Review 2005: Major Peacekeeping Operations'']</ref>. [[User:Riana\|Riana]] and I [[Wikipedia:Editor review/MJCdetroit\|reviewed MJCdetroit]] in March 2007. We both agreed that he was ready to acquire the mop, but for some reason it has waited until now. ~~==References==~~ ~~<references/>~~ ~~==See also==~~ [[List of Presidents of the Government of Southern Sudan]] [[List of Vice-Presidents of the Government of Southern Sudan]] For the record, MJCdetroit failed in a previous [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/MJCdetroit\|request for adminship in May ''2006'']]. I trust that the concerns expressed then about inexperience and insufficient community interaction have long since abated. Please join me in welcoming MJC into the [[WP:TINC\|cabal]]. [[User:Shalom\|Shalom]] <sup>[[User talk:Shalom\|Hello]]</sup> 20:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC) '''Co-nom''' by [[User:Wizardman\|Wizardman]]: I am pleased that MJCdetroit has decided to take the plunge into adminship, he's certainly ready now if he didn't feel that he was 3 months ago. As mentioned, he's mainly a template guy, working in TfD, infobox settlement, etc. but he does have some good mainspace work, making plenty of edits to the FA [[Detroit, Michigan]]. He seems like a very competent user and would certainly be of value to Wikipedia as an admin. [[User:Wizardman\|<span style="color:#060">'''''Wizardman'''''</span>]] 03:16, 20 July 2007 (UTC) ~~{{Sudan-stub}}~~ ~~[[Category:Government of Sudan]]~~ '''Co-nom''' by [[User:Youngamerican\|Youngamerican]]: In addition to spending the last 14 months addressing the concerns of the last RfA, MJC has managed to make himself into one of Wikipedia' preeminent experts on template design and maintenance. I imagine MJC as an admin would help ensure that Wikipedia's templates stay fresh and secure (vandals are getting smarter about how to cause the most havoc). It is always nice to see an editor who wants and needs the mop for all of the right reasons, and this is such a case.

Thank you,''' —[[User:MJCdetroit\|MJCdetroit]] 02:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC) <!--The candidate may make an optional statement here--> ====Questions for the candidate==== :''Note'': In order to save the nominee some time and effort, I have copied his responses to questions in the cited editor review from March/April 2007. He is free to remove these excerpts and/or add further comments. [[User:Shalom\|Shalom]] <sup>[[User talk:Shalom\|Hello]]</sup> 20:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC) Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants: :'''1.''' What admin work do you intend to take part in? ::'''A:''' There always seems to be admin backlogs and I wouldn't mind helping out where I can in areas such as [[:Category:Wikipedia protected edit requests]], [[WP:3RR\|3RR]], and [[Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets]]. [from Editor Review] :::Post Scriptum: My admin work would be limited at first. [[User:MJCdetroit\|MJCdetroit]] 02:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC) :'''2.''' What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why? ::'''A:''' Lately, I'd probably have to say {{tl\|Infobox Settlement}} and the edits associated with it. In order to implement an automatic unit conversion feature in the template, all articles using that template had to first be prepared so that there would not be any expression errors. It was a lot of work, but the result was a smooth transition and a more uniformed look and function to the template and pages that use it. [from Editor Review] :'''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:''' [[User:Tasc]], but then again...who hasn't a conflict with him? He is now blocked indefinitely for his conflicts. I dealt with him the way that anyone should deal with such a situation — through mediation. [from Editor Review] :'''4.''' (Additional optional question from [[User:LessHeard vanU\|LessHeard vanU]]) I notice that there are blank edit summaries in your count, including this month. Are there any reasons for this, or can you give instances where you feel a summary is not required. ::'''A:'''Probably that the edit was very minor or sometimes I've hit the ''return'' key (enter on a PC) by mistake, or hit save to soon and it saves the page. I usually try to put something down. ::::Are you aware that you can set a edit summary reminder prompt in your "my preferences" section (under the "Editing" tag)? [[User:LessHeard vanU\|LessHeard vanU]] 21:11, 21 July 2007 (UTC) ====General comments==== <!-- begin editcount box--> See [[User:MJCdetroit\|MJCdetroit]]'s edit summary usage with [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~mathbot/cgi-bin/wp/rfa/edit_summary.cgi?user=MJCdetroit&lang=en mathbot's tool].

It is amazing what you find lurking other editor's talkpages. I've not run across MJCdetroit in quite a long time, but the few times I did in the past I found the editor to be constructive. Nothing makes me thing they will abuse the tools... plus if MJCdetroit can surive Detroit, they can survive a few vandals.--[[User:Isotope23\|Isotope23]] <sup>''[[User_talk:Isotope23\|talk]]''</sup> 20:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC) #'''Support''' as co-nom.
