Questions for the candidate

edit

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: I will take part as a admin on fighting vandalism, in most parts. I would want to work with speedy deletions, since many tend to be nonsense or an article for a non-notable person or Band/artist. I would work with blocking vandals from returning from editing with their misleading causes. This then leads to another work I would want to keep a look out for: sock puppetry. Vandals think that they have a loophole from getting blocked or support their debates. This is becoming a situation in which I would want to handle, from people using more than one account. I also anticipate for protecting pages from continuous vandalism. I've seen many pages that had to be protected from a bombardment of vandals getting at the page. I'm willing to keep pages clear from vandals and do whatever it takes to get them out of this place as much as possible.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: As mentioned, I have done a part of fighting against vandalism. However, away from that, I keep pages in order. I've done edits to music-related articles, in which I keep them sourced with notable information and make sure they're not copied. I've had conditions in which I removed content that were copied from a different source. I usually tend to removing them but if it's necessary, re-word it to make it appropriate for the article. As much as necessary, I do lots of reverts. Wrong info and I revert it automatically.
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: I've had several, not gonna say I had it easy. Mostly from vandals, arguing about their content being removed. I, myself, basically keep the page away from that. As long its vandalism, I remove it without the use of arguing. In other cases, though, I've had issues with other users on new pages such as a band, I link and advice the users on the notability of a band or artist. Some have agreed to the guidelines, while some do their best to argue against them.
One condition in which I had conflict with was User:Signshare, in which the user made several false statements on some articles (especially Mims (rapper)) and we had several conflicts, like nomination his articles for deletion and removal of unsourced content (see User talk:Signshare#Mims (rapper)). The results are a bit drastic (user flammed me on my talk page) and we merely settled now. No conflicts for a while.

Questions from Avruch

4. What is the difference between a ban and a block?
A: In my POV, a "ban" affects editing privileges. A user is prohibited from certain editing privileges but doesn't completely take away all editing powers. A "block" tends to disallow a user from accessing a ___location. In here, mostly with a reason, users won't be allowed to to edit pages, due to their previous behavior.
5. If another administrator removes material from an article and cites a BLP concern as the reason - but you believe the material does not violate BLP policy and should be included- what do you do?
A: Since one person might disagree with the content, I would put it on the biography's Talk page to make a decision with the contribution and opinions of others. I would need to support my opinion of putting it up and how valuable it would be to have it up in the article. Of course, it should be accompanied with reliable sources.
Extend: I'm gonna stick with my answer with this, since I believe that if a certain detail is thought to be a problem, the Talk page is one of the places where I can put up the details for dispute. Not just the administrator disputes his/her points about it but also, several people can come in to also put up their points. Isn't that what are talk pages for? To talk about the edits in the article? If material that might need some thought before it can be put into the article, users simply put it on the talk page and can get other opinions of other users. Together, they can conclude if the information should be included, shouldn't be included, or fixed.
6. What is your opinion on administrator recall?
A: Honestly, I agree strongly that it would be great to make it more of a decision-making for a user, since some may question about their contributions and if enough users point that out, I agree that the user might put themselves in that condition. It would causes some controversial for someone to disagree but it may just cause more problems. I think it might help someone with their editing from what others would say about the admin's work.

  1. I don't want to oppose based on answers that aren't completely incorrect, but I think answers to my first and second questions leave much to be desired. I don't think moving potentially BLP-violating material from the article to the article talk page is a good idea at all, and bans and blocks have entirely different purposes (although bans can be enforced by blocks). Avruchtalk 14:26, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    If the supposedly BLP-violating material can't be placed on the talk page, how can any discussion on whether or not it actually violates BLP go forward? —Random832 17:47, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    All edits are still in the history, unless they've been oversighted (which they usually aren't if there's still some discussion going on about them). EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
