Bourbons3 (talk · contribs) I have been for Wikipedia for roughly 3 months. I have created a number of pages in a variety of categories and sections throughout Wikipedia, with near a 1000 edits. I have contributed a lot to the Userboxes project by creating several userboxes and organising them into existing pages, or creating new pages and grouping alike userboxes. I have made 50 userboxes on a variety of subjects including political parties, users' favourite colours (or colors) and sports that users participate in. I have also made major edits to London-related pages, and contributed to discussions including a recent userbox dispute, and have made a largely backed proposal for the Userbox policy. I have also helped clean up the RuneScape series, contributing a large majority of the information on the RuneScape quests page. I have also nominated several unneeded pages for deletion, inclusing, Free RuneScape quests (which acted as a game guide - which Wikipedia is not), specific RuneScape quest pages and duplicate userboxes. I have voted on several pages' deletion discussions with both keep and delete. I have also voted in a couple of Adminship nominations. - «ßØÛ®ßÖÑ§3» ^{Talk | Contrib's} 16:37, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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 check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.

A. I would most like to help prevent vandalism. This is becasue vandalism is easy to do (vandals do not need to be registered, and therefore cannot be traced) and casues problems in terms of an article's content and its reliable. Vandalism can be written in a formal tone, so it looks genuine, and therefore cannot always be noticed straight away. This causes the article in question to have false information, which could cause a lot of problems for users who use the article for a source of information.

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

A. I am most pleased with my contributions to the Userbox project. This is because it is a big project, and it's cause is an important one, causing several people to join it within 2 days. The userboxes i have created help because they were requested, and are all organised into categories and/or pages - pages linked from the Wikipedia:Userboxes page for easy access. There is also alot of tasks i can still contribute to, including organising existing userboxes and changing all userboxes to a User prefix.

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. In the RuneScape section, there were a few occasions where my edits were disregarded or even deeted. This did annoy me, but i have learnt in time to be rational with vandals and editors. I now know to calmly respond to these edits by reverting to previous versions of the article.
