I started using Wikipedia in 2004 and made edits intermittently. I became much better acquainted with this collaborative project in 2005. Nonetheless, I abstained from registering which I now regret. Had I done so, then I would have more edits. Finally, I registered in March 2006.

Most of my contributions relate to society like history and politics; albeit, I have made edits in other areas as well.

My personal interest is also mathematics. For example, I recently learned about linear differential equations; however, I try to not edit mathematics articles because I am an amateur in this area.--Patchouli 09:21, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept this nomination.

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 revert vandalism, delete pages upon consensus of editors who have given valid reasons, and endeavor to maintain neutrality.

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

A: Mullahcracy, Islamic Cultural Revolution, Iranian Senate, Wire Wager Act, Massachusetts v. Laird, some SCOTUS cases, and more subsume my contributions.--Patchouli 07:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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: Because I maintain civility and adhere to other Wikipedia policies, I have averted animosity despite some robust discussions that have ended in a rational manner.

Oppose

Oppose Previous RfA closed only six days ago. Not nearly enough time between then and now to overcome the reasons for the earlier withdrawl. Try again in a couple of months. (aeropagitica) (talk) 08:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have upgraded my editing skills.--Patchouli 08:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, you haven't even addressed the concerns of the previous rfa. The answers are still weak and there's still barely a self-description, I suggest you look at some other nominations on this very page to see what kinds of things people expect to hear about you (it's mostly about what you do in wikipedia). Furthermore, you can't just withdraw your nomination when it starts badly, start it again in a few days and expect the result to be any different. - Bobet 08:59, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was encouraged to withdraw my nomination and I did so reluctantly.--Patchouli 09:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Insofar as self-description is concerned, I will answer specific questions that you ask. I am not sure if writing an autobiography is appropriate.--Patchouli 09:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just made an attempt to comply to your request by adding more Wikipedia-related self-description of myself.--Patchouli 09:24, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
