#'''Moral support''' Unfortunately, I have to oppose. As SilkTork said on your talk page, you have 3 months of editing. I decided to overlook that and give you a better glance and you look like a good future candidate, but I see a severe lack of content creation. You have a lot of article space edits, but they are mostly reverting it seems. We're still an encyclopedia and while content creation isn't a necessity of all editors and everyone is valued, administrators often have to be able to interpret and enforce content policies like [[WP:BLP]]. I can't support without seeing you creating article and implementing policies, not just enforcing them. I'm also slightly concerned about [[User_talk:Ginsuloft#meetings]] because it seems to suggest paid editing, maybe? All in all, although you do good work in RC patrol, I don't see enough experience to overcome the 3 months of editing. I don't mean to diminish your work, but there are a lot of editors who have 3 months of RC patrol experience. Try to diversify. Keep up the good work, and try again in 6 months or try the [[:simple:Main Page|simple Wikipedia]].--v/r - [[User:TParis|T]][[User_talk:TParis|P]] 22:37, 28 September 2013 (UTC) |

Ginsuloft
(talk page) (0/1/0); Scheduled to end 21:40, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
Nomination
Ginsuloft (talk · contribs) – Hello, I am Ginsuloft. I'm a recent changes patroller and you may have seen my reverts on articles, as well as some of my reports on AIV. Although vandal patrolling is the main thing I do on Wikipedia and the most likely reason you recognize my username if you do, I have also participated in some CSD tagging, mainly blatant vandalism, spam and non-notable people/companies and {{db-spamuser}} tags on userpages I saw at Special:AbuseLog. I believe I have learned and experienced a vast amount of knowledge during the months I've been editing and now understand policies much better. You may of course ask and test me here.

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:
- 1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
- A: Because RC patrol is my strength, I intend to block vandals, delete test/nonsense pages, and help out at AIV. I have noticed AIV has lately been backlogged a lot and I believe being able to not only cut the middleman and block users myself instead of reporting and waiting, but also to clear out other reports of fellow patrollers would help. Another area that interests me is long-term abuse; although I don't have much experience in it yet, I intend to learn to recognize (and deny that I did) while being an administrator.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- A: My main contribution to Wikipedia comes from RC patrolling and reverting, but I have made some minor typo fixes and other cleanup (I try to do this whenever I notice). Apart from that, I have created lots of redirects (mostly to templates). Although my content work is sort of poor in this sense, I believe I have a basic understanding of the MOS by now, which should be good enough for the admin areas I intend to work at.
- 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: I assume this question means edit wars and the sort; if so, then no. My user and talk pages get vandalized a lot but that's something to be expected for a RC patroller. I don't personally dislike any Wikipedian and try to avoid implying anything personal in my messages/comments. Although I want to enforce policies like NPOV and BLP in a neutral way, I don't wish to ever be involved in a dispute and would quickly back away if I found myself to be part of one, as there's no need to fight against consensus.
