Nomination
Giants27 (talk · contribs) – It is my great pleasure to nominate Giants27 for adminship. It is not hard to see what a phenomenal editor he is; he has created or contributed to 7 GAs and over 50 DYKs, with extensive referencing, clear prose, and good layout. Moreover, he has participated in countless AfDs with insightful comments, demonstrating a thorough grasp of policy. He has plenty of experience reverting vandalism as well. With thousands of user talk posts (for the most part, human messages rather than vandalism warnings), he also demonstrates an ability to communicate effectively, one of the most important skills for admins.
I am sure that as admin, Giants27 will use the tools effectively, updating DYK queues, closing AfDs, fighting vandalism, or whatever he chooses to work on. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:56, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
- 1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
- A: If given administrator rights, I'd work in WP:AFD, blocking vandals at WP:AIV, potentially some page protection once I feel comfortable enough to go there and helping setup/move WP:DYK sets to the queues.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- A: I'm proud of my DYKs but in my opinion, two stick out in my mind. Joey Hamilton and Nathan Horton. The former was my first WP:GA that I originally took from here to its present state. The latter is my largest article, which looked like this when I started on it. The amount of references (86) and the size of it took effort on my end (and others who've reviewed or copyedited it), which I hadn't yet done with an article on Wikipedia.
- 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
- A: Back in February of this year, I encountered a new user who had vandalized an admin's userpage so I reverted him. He then came over to my talk page telling me about how the admin had wrongly deleted a page he had created, to which I responded by explaining it had been speedy deleted but I escalated the situation here. Which the user was reasonably upset and posted warnings, insults etc. to my talk page. Also in September, I had this discussion on my talk page which due to incivility on both sides, led to this CfD where again incivility seemed to dominate the discussion. In both of these cases, I clearly stepped over the line of what is considered civil and I have definetely learned from both instances and the need to keep a cooler head when a discussion or circumstance becomes heated.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 00:13, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
