Scott Burley

Vote here (2/0/0) ending 09:20 29 March 2005 (UTC)

I split my time here about 20/80 between writing and janitorial work, and I believe that having access to sysop powers would make the latter task a bit easier for me. I also would like to become more involved with some of the various deletion pages, and be able help other users with requests (page protection, moves, etc.). I joined Wikipedia in May 2004, but didn't become really active until late October. I figure my "numbers" at around 5 months and 1500+ edits.

Support

  1. Seems a responsible and calming editor, although I prefer as admins those who do more writing. I like the willingness to explain reverts on talk pages. Dbiv 09:48, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

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 spend most of my time on the new pages page, so I'm well aware of the constant barrage of junk that get thrown at Wikipedia. It would be nice to be able to speedy delete some of it (only those pages nominated by others, of course).
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. It's rare that I write whole articles, though my favorite exception to that is Saline Valley, California. Most of my significant contributions consist of cleaning up and adding to stubby and/or poorly written articles, like Pioche, Nevada (see my changes).
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 will deal with it in the future?
A. I once tried mediating a bit at Ron Paul, but ultimately decided to stay away from political disputes. I was involved with the VfD against Universism, to the point that I believe the article creator holds it against me personally. Also, I am currently involved in the RfAr against Iasson. While I may have made an enemy or two, I seek to avoid conflicts, and I feel that I have acted in the best interests of the project in all of these situations.
