Leonard G.

Vote here (4/0/2) ending 03:57 September 17 2005 (UTC) Leonard G. (talk · contribs) - Self nomination, registered since early March, 2004. See my user page for some of my contributions.

Support

  1. Support. Over 10k edits, although curiously few in Wikipedia or User namespace. Having read the talk page, Leonard G. seems like a good candidate. — JIP | Talk 08:21, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support. 10k+ edits and not an admin? Seems like a great guy, I have no problem supporting. -GregAsche (talk) 17:51, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
  3. Support. Looks good. mrholybrain 19:35, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
  4. Support for rather the same reason that Thorpe is neutral. Anyone can contribute information to articles -- someone who wants to fix things and clean up after vandals is exactly who should be an admin. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 20:52, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

Neutral

  1. I really not too sure on you being an admin. I know you help clear up the place and fix things but you don't contribute information to articles, you just fix errors and such (which is good). I would say you need to help improve articles by adding information to them as well. -- Thorpe talk 20:01, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Do you want a list of my original material? A portion of it is on my user page - Leonard G. 02:02, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  1. I disagree with Thorpe; I think the contributions to article space are impressive and definitely go beyond mere copyediting/proofreading. I'm also impressed by the contributions of images. But I'm worried by the relatively few contributions to Wikipedia space; it means you're not contributing much to the administration of Wikipedia (deletion discussions, policy discussions, etc.) So that's why although I don't oppose your becoming an admin, I can't really support it either. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 23:03, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'm not an admin (not yet) - so why debit me for not being involved in admin matters? - Leonard G. 02:02, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

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. I perform a lot of vandalism reverts (I am watching 1807 articles) and the one button revert would be handy to have.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and its subarticle Eastern span replacement of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, the text section Suspension bridge#Construction sequence and Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay. Graphic contributions include the bridge taxonomic chart in the bridge article among others. Shay locomotive, Pressure gauge and Thermostat include annotated images.
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. A few times - although I would not use the term stress. I have found that things go smoothly with the right approach and attitude, with only a few exceptions such as Fox News and Global warming where there appears to be a community of really touchy editors ready to jump on any edit. I have articles of higher personal interest to work on anyway.
