ThomasK

Vote here (1/3/0) ending 16:35 30 July 2005 (UTC)

May I nominate myself: First offical edit at 09:35, July 15, 2004, this was a few thousand edits ago. I participate in vfd , revert a lot of vandalism, and did not fight an edit war, but solve it. Of course I use edit summaries. I prefer correctness and NPOV in the articles. --ThomasK 16:54, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Support

  1. As the nominator. ThomasK

Oppose

  1. Weak oppose. He has a nice number of total edits, has been here a decently long time, and seems to be a good vandalism-fighter on articles that really need it, but I'd like to see more edits in the Wikipedia and User talk namespaces (he only has 42 edits in WP: and 26 in User talk: ). Vandals who come by here do need to be warned about their vandalism on their user talk pages, and the Wikipedia: namespace has a lot of important admin pages, such as WP:VfD, WP:VIP, etc. --Idont Havaname 18:47, 23 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose for lack of experience. Despite his claims, his edit history shows no recent participation in VFD and only incidental vandalism reverts. Good user, but no reason to adminify. Radiant_>|< 19:16, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
  3. ThomasK, you have not enough experience on janitorial tasks such as VFD, TFD, CFD, etc. Also you need to post more messages on various talk and discussion pages so we can get a better feel of how you interact with other users. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:04, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral

  1. I'm torn. With a long history (and plentiful edits) and relatively little controversy, he seems in some ways like a "adminship should be no big deal" candidate. I certainly don't buy that a prospective admin needs to be well versed in the arcana of CFD and TFD (yes, it would be ideal, but it's a lot to ask of someone that they be involved in a lot of the deletion pages). But at the same time, his talk page has been very scarcely edited, and his desire to blank almost immediately after every entry makes me nervous. I guess I'd have to see a better rationale for promotion from the candidate, and some kind of promise about different talk page behavior in the future. I want to be confident that, if a new user leaves Thomas a question, they will be able to back the next week and find an answer, not a blank page. Jwrosenzweig 05:43, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

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.)
I would help close up the VFDs and especially I would make good use of the revert button as well as the speedy deletes.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
Well, actually I´m pleased with any of them. However, I achieved with my contribution and nomination the article Albert Einstein to be featured.
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?
Nobody has ever caused me stress, if in case I will solve it calmly.
