tjstrf (talk · contribs) - It is my pleasure to be nominating tjstrf for adminship.

tjstrf, or Tristan, has been with us since 2005. He has been editing regularly since May 2006, has over 10000 edits spread well throughout various namespaces. The edit counter shows over 4000 mainspace edits, nearly 2000 Wikipedia space edits as well as 900 Wikipedia talk edits, which is an admirable balance. tjstrf is a dedicated editor who is decidedly experienced in article writing, as demonstrated by his quality edits to articles, including adding substantial material ([1]), providing references properly ([2] [3]), and rewriting ([4]). More importantly, I find tjstrf a highly intelligent user who has an in-depth knowledge of policy. tjstrf is heavily involved in XfDs, where his decisions are always supported by reasoned judgments and rational explanations ([5] [6] [7] [8] [9]) He also helps close clear keep discussions([10] [11]). All of this, needless to say, indicates that he has a good sense required to close ambiguous deletion debates. In addition, tjstrf regularly visits the Village pump and policy discussions, where his valuable comments yet again confirm his profound insights into our content policies and guidelines ([12] [13] [14] [15], [16] [17]). tjstrf can be seen everywhere, he participates in Wikiprojects, contributes useful input at RFCN, is helpful in response to questions at the Help Desk, reverts vandalism and has many reports to AIV. He also has a constant usage of enlightening edit summaries, no block and is email enabled.

Ultimately, I believe, without a shadow of a doubt, that tjstrf will do an excellent job as an administrator if he is given the tools, and I hope the community share my views. Peacent 07:31, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: I predict I would find myself doing XfD work. I've always thought that a 5 day discussion process regularly taking 8 or 10 days to finalize a decision is quite frustrating, and am sure others feel the same way. If a page needs deleted, then leaving it around for an extra week after gaining consensus for deletion simply due to staff shortages is harmful to Wikipedia. If a page should be kept, then leaving it in agonizing limbo for any longer than it need be is simply unkind to its editors.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: My work with the Anime and Manga Wikiproject has been the most fulfilling for me, especially the various articles in Category:Bleach (manga). I was able to, along with help from other users such as User:Dekimasu and User:Ynhockey, bring the main Bleach article up to WP:GA status recently, and another article in the category is currently a Featured List candidate that looks like it will pass. Bleach (manga) happens to be one of the top 50 most viewed pages on Wikipedia, gathering 15,000 views per day last month, so keeping our coverage of it at a decent quality is an important and ongoing task.
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 have very rarely been in conflict with another established editor, and when I get into normal disagreements I do my best to engage in civil discussion with them. I am thick skinned, so I don't let things stress me out easily, whether simple vandalism to an article I watch or weeks of continual sockpuppet attacks. As an additional safeguard, I keep a personal policy to avoid editing articles that I have strong personal feelings about.
The only significant dispute I can think of that I have been involved in recently was the Essjay controversy article, which had its content argued day and night for over a month by one user. (Anyone who watches WP:ANI should remember the numerous threads there about it.) I believe I was civil throughout the dispute, but will admit to some edit warring. I'll not delve into any sort of self-justification here, you can read the archives of Talk:Essjay controversy yourself.

Pre-emptive optional question from User:tjstrf

4. Do you have a secure password?
A: Yes.
