Tedernst (talk · contribs) – It's me, what can I say? Tedernst 08:06, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept this self-nomination from myself.

Support

Oppose

Oppose Less than two months of activity is far too short a commitment to Wikipedia for you to become an administrator. Also, your edit count is pretty low, with too little talk and Project space edits. I would consider supporting in another 3-5 months.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 08:46, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Well for one, you can start telling who you are! With such a short track record, a bit more elaboration on the questions below, and why you are especially qualified to become an admin would be nice, despite your lack of commitment.

Oppose. It's you. We know that. Can we know more? Also, 650 edits is far too little, although I'm trying to stay away from editcountitis. -- NSLE _{(Communicate!)} ^<Contribs> 10:18, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Self-nomination too brief, almost flippant. Normally, I'm not an edit hound, but in the context of that nomination, 650 is too low. This will still be an oppose if nomination is expanded, as the first posted brief content showed poor judgment on nominee's part. Xoloz 11:45, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Indeed, it seems almost flippant. Good grief, who is he; King of Wikipedia!? -- NSLE _{(Communicate!)} ^<Contribs> 12:40, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, too little time on Wikipedia. Try again in a month or two. — JIP | Talk 11:52, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Vanity, delete... oops, wrong page. Oppose, out of touch with the community. Alphax ^τεχ 13:07, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Tedernst's edit count - 650 edits, the first made in 2002, but activity beginning only last month.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 08:46, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
A chart showing this user's edits along with a total # of edits line and average edits per day line is available here: Image:Tedernst-edits.png. I offer this not as a more refined version of editcountitis, but as just one tool to help evaluate an admin nominee with a somewhat low edit count on Wikipedia. --Durin 14:18, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Use of edit summaries is 93%. Average edits per day is ~14 per day. --Durin 14:18, 27 October 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'm interested in all backlogged tasks. I'm already doing some of these that don't require an admin and am interested in learning more about what tasks need an admin. Clearly there is a need for more volunteers and more people to take on more responsibilities.

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

A. I've dabbled here and there. Chicago. Bikes as Transportation. The Humanist Party. Stub-sorting. Merging articles (worse is better style).

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. Just once. I asked others to get involved while reverting every couple of days (3 times total). Eventually others came in and I bowed out (I think my opinon prevailed, though that's not the important part).
