Benon (talk · contribs) – self nomination, i have been on wikipedia for about 2 months as a registerd editor (and sevral months as various anons, i didnt use my username because i had even made i!) and in that time have become a massive wiki - addict, i mainly vandal whack, as an ex-anon who vandalised (note this was over a year ago) i feel i know exactly what kind of behaviour is vandalism and what is a new editors test.

I am happy to answer any follow-up questions you have, post them here or on my talk page and i will respond when asap

please note i am dyslexic so my spelling isnt 100% spot-on, just thought id mention that.

Candidate, self-nomination:

Support

  1. Don't see why not. εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 03:19, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support. Not to rag on RexNL, but he was made an admin even though almost all of his activity was within 1 month, so I don't see why benon couldn't be one then. I know this RfA probably won't pass (sorry benon), but I will vote support to fill in this space.:p Give him a few months and he'll be a shoe-in --Shanel 03:25, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

  1. Oppose for now, good user but too little time, all activity in the last few weeks also, try again in a few months and your a shoo-in :) --Jaranda wat's sup 02:01, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral

  1. Neutral Benon, you know I love ya, but I think it's really too soon for you. You're great with reverting vandalism, but that's all I've seen you do these past couple weeks. RFR would be perfect for you, but I don't feel Adminship is right for you, just yet. --lightdarkness 02:00, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Neutral Benon has been editing heavily for a while, but I don't think you're ready yet. Keep up the good work, and in a few months, please try again. --NaconKantari e|t||c|m 02:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia 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:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A.

My main activity would be rc patrol, it can be really frustrating to be vandal whacking and having bout a vandal up to a {{test4}} warning to the have to wait for an admin on irc to block them whilst they continue to vandalise.

I also like to be someone who helps new editors feel welcome, a simple ten second {{welcome}} placed on the talk page, and praise of good eits makes a new editor hopefully feel like there welcome at wikipedia.

Also ensuring that articles tagged with a speedy tag are delt with well sppedily, sometimes ive found articles tagged a long time ago because admins simply havent got around to deleting yet.

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

I am particuly proud of welcoming new editors, i am also proud of the mediation i did here (which sadly had to go onto arbitration, after the parties went back to attacking eachother) [1]

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.

I dont lose my cool even when provoked by pepole personally attacking me, in fact i even have a cool as a cucumber award. i think this link helps to show it again [2] aribtration here [3]

If someone really tries to provoke me i dont rise to it, ill go and do some editing (on a diffrent subject) have a cup of tea etc then respond to ensure im not going to make a retailory remark, because thats just lowering yourself to there level.

The following are some optional questions. There are no correct answers to these questions and I simply want to know your opinions rather than see a correct answer. Thanks! --Deathphoenix 02:52, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

4. When would you use {{test3}}/{{test4}}, and when would you use {{bv}}?
A.
5. What would you do if a user reverts an article four times in slightly more than 24 hours? (Thus obeying the letter of WP:3RR.)
A.
6. In your opinion, when should you speedy delete an article under CSD A7 (unremarkable people or groups) and when should you nominate it for an AFD instead?
A.
7. How would you apply NPOV to a controversial article that you are editing?
A.
8. What are your greatest frustrations with Wikipedia?
A.
