Fang Aili

[{{fullurl:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Fang Aili|action=edit}} Vote here] (7/0/0) ending 02:14, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Fang Aili (talk · contribs) – Fang Aili, or Erica, is a person I see often on RC patrol, and I find her to be a very valuable line of defense against vandalism. In addition, her contributions to the encyclopedia and articles are very respectable, and she has a good grasp of policy. I think she would be a most worthy addition to the administrator roster.

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 would like to help clear the backlog at Copyright problems. I'll continue doing recent change patrol, and admin tools will make that a bit easier. I'd also like to help at AfD, and keep an eye on Category:Candidates for speedy deletion and AIV.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I'll be particularly pleased with Milwaukee, Wisconsin when it becomes a Good Article (and hopefully, eventually, a Featured Article). I've added a lot to it, but it's gotten to the point where I have to start reading more books, and I haven't done that yet. I created the "to do" list for the article and have also created some other Milwaukee-related articles, the most substantial of which is Pabst Theater. I'm also pleased with my figure skating articles, especially Yao Bin. But basically, I get a thrill out of contributing to Wikipedia, period. It's the idea that I'm contributing to world knowledge, and that I can write something that other people will read and build upon. It's marvelous to see, for example, how Maxim Marinin has evolved. Wikipedia also calls to my inner editor--when I see "it's" instead of "its", I can just fix it!
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: I was somewhat involved in the userbox debates of the past, but I have lost track of that topic now. I wish the Userbox policy had passed, because I think it was an excellent compromise. Other than that, I have not been invovled in anything particularly stressful. The disagreements I've been a part of were usually the result of good faith screw-ups, and were easily resolved. I don't usually contribute to controversial articles, and that helps keep my personal stress level down.

Questions from JoshuaZ

1 You are a member of both the Kindness Campaign and WP:Esperanza. Will your experience with those projects help/influence how you behave as an admin? If so, please explain how.
I usually hang out in Esperanza IRC channel when I'm editing. When I have questions, someone there is usually able to help me. Celestianpower and JoanneB are two experienced admins (among others) who are there a lot, and I imagine I'll be asking them all sorts of questions. I really like Esperanza; it's purpose is to make Wikipedia a better place to be, and to help others. It has made me feel welcome and has definitely aided in my advancement of Wiki knowledge. The Kindness Campaign is a little different; I haven't done much with it specifically, other than award a few barnstars. To me, being a member means just trying to be kind and civil at all times, and recognize good efforts. I will continue to strive towards these ideals as an admin.
2 If you could change any one thing about Wikipedia what would it be?
Fewer vandals! The constant stream of vandalism can be quite daunting. Or how about this: no vandals!
3 Under what circumstances will you indefinitely block a user without any prior direction from Arb Com?
That is a difficult question to answer at this point. If I was considering it, I would first ask a few admins about the situation first. Sockpuppets regularly get indefinite blocks, so I would probably go ahead with that if I was sure it was a sockpuppet. A username with curses in it or something equally inappropriate would get an indefinite ban.
