#'''Weak Oppose''' As above, I'd like to see a more diversified amount of work on the project. It's not necessarily a deal breaker, but some work on XfD's and better use of Edit summaries wouldn't hurt. That said, your work at the VG portal seems decent, and the pending answers to the question may sway my decision. <font face="Forte">[[User:Perfect Proposal|<font color="Blue">Perfect Proposal</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:Perfect Proposal|<font color="Orange">Speak Out!</font>]]</sup></font> 15:18, 30 July 2008 (UTC) |

#'''Oppose'''; look somewhere other than video games! And I can't really find any experience with admin related tasks; if I search for AfD's or CSD's in your last 500 edits, for example, I find lots and lots of AfD contributions, wonderful! Until you realise that rather than debating, arguing delete or keep or in any way gaining experience in deletion discussions you've just added the articles to the list of video game related deletions in small letters at the bottom. Wonderful video game edits, yes, but that isn't something you need admin tools for, and I find no evidence of any contributions to the sort of tasks you say you're looking to do.

Revision as of 15:27, 30 July 2008
MrKIA11
(talk page) (1/2/0); Scheduled to end 23:07, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
MrKIA11 (talk · contribs) - MrKIA11 is a fantastic Wikipedian. He has been performing lots of janitorial duties within Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games, and I feel that he could be a greater asset to our community if he were given the admin bit. The work he has done on pages like Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/New article announcements is nothing short of incredible. This is a user who understands our policies, is able to take criticism, and I feel would be a great admin. JACOPLANE • 2008-07-29 23:07
- Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:
I accept the nomination. MrKIA11 (talk) 13:40, 30 July 2008 (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 admin work do you intend to take part in?
- A: Mostly house keeping tasks, specifically deleting XfDs, or articles that have been tagged as speedy. Being able to see previous versions of pages would greatly help this, especially for G4.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- A: The deletion and new article pages of the Video games WikiProject. I maintain the pages daily, and attempt to to keep them as accurate and up-to-date as possible, especially the new articles, which I use 3 different sources to check for new pages. All of the pages I add to the list, I also tag with the project's template, and clean-up the page to conform with the project's guidelines. I also periodically clean up the new article archives by a using a tool to check for deleted pages, once again to keep the information as accurate as possible. I'm also working on revamping the deletion archive from it's current state, to a new version, which is the same as the new article archives, and looks much more civilized. I am also almost done redoing the List of PSP games page with accurate information from multiple sources, and once that is done, hope to also keep that page up-to-date.
- 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: My largest conflict was concerning my attempt at condensing the number of simililar templates into one template. My main mistake, which I now ackowledge, is that I was editing user pages. Since I was making no change in appearance, just coding, I did not realize that this would be a problem (and even received one compliment), but I now know not to do that. One user reported me, but I made my case in the discussion, and they threw it out. The best thing for all disagreements is talking it over, which almost always leads to one person seeing the point of the other.
- Optional question from Skomorokh
- 4. : Your edit summary usage is quite low for an administrative candidate. Is there any particular reason for this?
- A:
- Optional question from PeaceNT
- 5. Since you specify that you'd like to help with deletion tasks as an admin, could you please expand on your experience/involvement with XfD and CSD areas? (Relevant and reflective diffs are welcomed)
- A:
Optional question from Keepscases:
- 6. If you are granted adminship status, who in real life will you tell about this?
- A:

Discussion
Support
- Support. In looking through your contribs, I see that you are very active and collaborative in the video games project. Specialists welcome! I'm glad you found somewhere to edit that you find rewarding. You do great work there! You've presented a case here for what you'd use the tools for. I see that you don't "participate" often in XfDs and CSDs, but do a lot of del-sorting, which is terrific gnome work. I would advise that you work very slowly with the tools in the deletion areas if the tools are granted. I believe you will be a net positive to the project with +sysop. Clean blocklog, communicative when you need to be, but not chatty and myspacey, bonus. Oh, and please use edit summaries from now on, for every edit (you can force a reminder on your preference tab). Minor issue really, and easily fixed, happy to support. Keeper ǀ 76 15:18, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
