Can't sleep, clown will eat me

Can't sleep, clown will eat me (talk · contribs) – This is a self nomination. Entering my sixth month with Wikipedia, and around 10,000 edits since the close of my first nomination, I now feel confident in asking the community to grant me the opportunity to better serve the project as an administrator. According to Interiot's edit counter, my editcountitus addiction has launched me somewhere into the neighborhood of the 16,000s.

As my username might imply, I tend to keep odd hours, allowing me to mix and mingle with Wikipedians from all over. Aside from vandalism patrol, I also try to maintain a good balance of editing, categorization, tagging articles for deletion, and new article creation (a reforestation effort of sorts). Some of my interests include pop-culture, unusual snacks and drinks, distance running, and food and sports in general.

With the added privileges and responsibilities that come along with being a sysop, additional tasks I intend to help out with include merges requiring administrator intervention, watching the backlog at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, responding to the WP:AIV queue, and whatever else may come my way.

Thank you for your consideration. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 00:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer 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 anticipate that as an administrator, I will be better equipped in my efforts to help reduce vandalism, as well assist with requests at Category:Articles to be merged and handling articles listed at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: That is really difficult to say, I am proud of all my original contributions, but right now I could really go for a bottle of Manzanita Sol. I'm really most pleased with all the unusual things I've learned from Wikipedia through the course of pouring over thousands of different articles.
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: Thankfully, so far, Wikipedia has yet to invade my dreams or cause me any sort of personal stress. When faced with a dispute, I do my best to understand the concerns of each party and attempt to see things from their perspective. Often times a conflict is the result of a simple misunderstanding, easily diffused with the help of a neutral third party. There are of course other times when things are more complicated and the said third party may not be able to help bring about an amicable resolution that everyone can agree to. Wikipedia offers several avenues, both formal and informal, for handling disputes that cannot be resolved one-on-one, and I would make use of them accordingly.
