#:I must also say that I find nothing wrong with Blankfaze's personal standards. Everyone presumably has them, whether they're stated or not. Blankfaze's standards are no more or less arbitrary than any others, and they do have some logic to them. They're at least not ''obviously'' shoddy reasons. I also think that Blankfaze in particular opposes good editors in the most encouraging way possible. His compliment inspires me to keep up the good work however this nomination turns out. |

*To ''directly'' address Netoholic's concerns, my image tag edits are actually ''uploads'' (see some of my uploaded images at [[User:Cool Hand Luke/Photos]]). Unlike [[User talk:Netoholic#Image:Albert Einstein.jpg|some wikipedians]], I think it's important to document the source of images. This is paramount if we're to have a free encyclopedia. I often improve articles under consideration on VfD (see [[Rhosnesni High School]], [[Black Lotus]], [[Springville High School]], and [[Incorporation]]—which I mostly don't list on my user page because they're not my best work, just fix-ups). I ''do'' feel that I have substantive contributions. I've contributed significantly to at least 40 full articles, as listed on my user page. Some are very large (see [[Father Divine]]). And this does not count many lesser fix-ups like when I [[Exotic helium isotopes|consolidate and expand substubs]]. In short, I'm unsure why Netoholic characterized me as he has, but it's unsurprising because he apparently took quite a cursory look at my work. He initially claimed I'd done little since my last RfA which is facinating because I've never had an RfA before.

Revision as of 18:17, 22 October 2004
User:Cool Hand Luke
(12/2/0) 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.

- OK. Andre (talk) 14:59, Oct 18, 2004 (UTC)
- Yes. Seems Cool Head Luke and business-like.
Haven't personally seen him under fireDealt with him amicably on Reformed Egyptian; I imagine he is good at staying cool. Tom - Talk 18:52, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC) - Support. --Lst27 23:12, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- I'm extremely happy to support Cool Hand Luke here. He's a great user and has helped out a lot with a whole bunch of topics. Cookiecaper 08:34, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Oppose
- I admire the user and his work, however, he does not currently meet my personal standards for admin candidates. BLANKFAZE | (что??) 22:47, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Mine either. User is short on edits, very short on edits for a self-nom, and recent edits have been extremely minor – adding categories and image tags, voting on VfD. No, I'd not consider until he performs more significant contributions and that he can convince someone to nominate him. -- Netoholic @ 01:55, 2004 Oct 22 (UTC)
Neutral
Comments
- 1055 edits since February 7. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 01:25, 2004 Oct 18 (UTC)
- Neither support nor oppose for now, but may I point out that he can't be all that bad because he contributed to Dead Milkmen. Thanks. - Ta bu shi da yu 14:03, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Thank you. The original content in Dead Milkmen was my first contribution—as an anon. I registered and copyedited minutes after.
- I must also say that I find nothing wrong with Blankfaze's personal standards. Everyone presumably has them, whether they're stated or not. Blankfaze's standards are no more or less arbitrary than any others, and they do have some logic to them. They're at least not obviously shoddy reasons.

- To directly address Netoholic's concerns, my image tag edits are actually uploads (see some of my uploaded images at User:Cool Hand Luke/Photos). Unlike some wikipedians, I think it's important to document the source of images. This is paramount if we're to have a free encyclopedia. I often improve articles under consideration on VfD (see Rhosnesni High School, Black Lotus, Springville High School, and Incorporation—which I mostly don't list on my user page because they're not my best work, just fix-ups). I do feel that I have substantive contributions. I've contributed significantly to at least 40 full articles, as listed on my user page. Some are very large (see Father Divine). And this does not count many lesser fix-ups like when I consolidate and expand substubs. In short, I'm unsure why Netoholic characterized me as he has, but it's unsurprising because he apparently took quite a cursory look at my work. He initially claimed I'd done little since my last RfA which is facinating because I've never had an RfA before. Cool Hand Luke (Communicate!) 18:17, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
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)
