Vote here (9/1/0) ending 00:48 25 October 2004 (UTC)

I decided to self nominate because I just resolved a week-dead VfD at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Pauper magic. It occurred to me that I'm not sure whether it's kosher for non-admins to do that. If not, it seems more admins are needed because VfD often takes some time to get resolved after the voting period has expired. For another example see Sega Genesis Screenshot Gallery.

At any rate, I have about 1050 edits, with good variety: added content (see my user page/brag list), copy edits, recategorizations, VfD, talk pages, and the creation of a new Latter Day Saint WikiProject, although the last has yet to prove its worth.

At any rate, I'd like to be an admin for VfD resolution and speedy deletion. VfD and new pages are my hobbies when bored.

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.)
A. VfD resolution and speedy deletions are extentions of things I already do.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I enjoy adding content which was not previously on the internet. I believe the best example of this is my biography on Father Divine. Typically my contributions are related to the Latter Day Saint movement and/or Salt Lake City. For more characteristic contributions see Book of Commandments, LDS Conference Center, and Salt Lake City and County Building. I feel all of these articles go into more useful consolidated detail than was previously available online.
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 will deal with it in the future?
A. I have been in a number of enjoyable talk page resolutions, (see Talk:Reformed Egyptian), and I rarely get stressed over them. However, in at least one discussion I think I was too snippy (see: Talk:Misinformation and rumors about the September 11, 2001 attacks, the bottom one.) — Cool Hand Luke (Communicate!) 00:48, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
