Voice of All(MTG) (talk · contribs) – I have been editing Misplaced Pages for several months now. I would like to be able to do more to prevent further vandalism to articles, which makes Misplaced Pages needlessly lose credibility. In addition, I don't mind perfoming some of the day-to-day cleanup tasks, such as checking RfAs ands AfDs and what not. I already do many of those tasks when I have the time, along with tagging, cleanup, and NPOV rewordings. I also follow a 1RR instead of 3RR as reverting someone more than once tends to lead staight into the next three times and just increases stress. My objective, as stated on my user page, is to make Misplaced Pages a factual, objective, and citable source. I stongly believe in encyclopedic standards for all Misplaced Pages articles; I do not, however, believe in needless censorship that takes away from articles. I have gained much experience editing Misplaced Pages(such as learning to use more edit summaries!:)), and I think that it would be to Misplaced Pages's benefit if I was given some extra tools. Voice of All 20:27, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

For the above reasons, I have nominated myself for adminship:

  9. SupportI like this editor and think he/she is one of the best mannered editors on the Wiki.

  24. Support. Very knowledgable, very helpful, very mature. This user knows a lot about Misplaced Pages and Misplaced Pages policy. He leave insightful and meaningful comments on the discussion page. And his contributions are solid. My vote thus reflects this opinion. -- E. Brown, Hurricane enthusiast - my dropsonde 22:03, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Oppose till user sets/enables his email id. User:Nichalp/sg 06:27, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
  2. Oppose per Nichalp. An admin needs an e-mail address for contact. Please leave a note on my talk page if you do so, and I'll gladly reconsider my vote. Ral315 WS 08:34, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
    I already posted it my email up there yesterday on my user page. I also just enabled that e-mail feature.Voice of All 15:22, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
    Thanks for enabling it. User:Nichalp/sg 16:21, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
    Do not listen to him... Listen to us, User:JIP! An admin doesn't necessarily need an e-mail address. — JIP | Talk 16:35, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
    Yes, they most certainly do. Blockee's should be able to email you. If you don't have one set, I do hope you set it now. Redwolf24 (talk—How's my driving?) 05:12, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
  3. Oppose. Many minor edits to only a few articles, and use of edit summaries is very poor. Owen× ☎ 12:36, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
    I either use an edit summary or "minor" when editing article space depending on what I am doing, so I would not considered it to be "very" poor. Also, I have made many edits that were not "minor", such as NLP, George Bush, History of Peurto Rico, Olmsted Amendment,Antimicrobial prophylaxis in surgery, Operation Bootstrap, Wraparound mortgage,Cephalosporin...and so on...I could go on...Finally, I would by no means not consider 230 distinct pages to be "only a few". 4000 Distince article is definitely a lot, so is 1000, but 230 is not "a few". Some people enjoy clicking "random page", some don't; both are still equally useful. Please check edit histories before making such comments and please do not exaggerate so much. Thank you.Voice of All 14:44, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. Neutral- Few edits on Misplaced Pages name space, and only 209 distinct pages edited. I would suggest a bit more grunt work and then I will support. ≈ jossi fresco ≈ t • @ 22:58, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
  2. Neutral- per Jossifresco --Sebastian Kessel 19:57, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I posted my ID, so that is no longer the case.Voice of All 15:28, 16 October 2005 (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. I will continue to participate in RfAs and VfDs along with various Community Portal Open Tasks. As an administrator, I could not only vote on AfDs, but I could also enforce the consensus once the polls close.
B. Additionally, I could delete relatively new (old enough that they are not just developing stubs) pages that obviosly meet speedy deletion requirements.
C. Reverting vandals using the Rollback feature.
D. Protecting articles only if absolutely necessary(severe POV disputes/trolls/nonstop vandalism from various sources).
2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I really enjoyed making edits to Puerto Rico related articles, as they have a calm and onstructive editing envirnment. Doing the research and finding sources gave me a break from NPOV tiptoeing on hot topics.
B. On the other hand, My expansions to the Health section, among other edits, to the George Bush article were quite pleasing, as only constructive edits were made to it by other users, in spite of the fact that the page is on such a contraversial topic. I also enjoyed making other NPOV edits to contraversial pages without getting into any conflicts; this is a testimant to the maturity and reasonable nature of most of Misplaced Pages's regular contributors.
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. My first few day here were rough as I ran into an IP troll. I removed his comment on the George Bush page, which made things get worse. I then realized that generally, it is better to just leave the comments alone, hence giving them no attention, hence I am not feeding the troll.
B. During my ealier time here, I also made an edited out some of Gavin the Chosen's amazingly poor grammar, causing RyanFriesling, who did not notice the ":)" in my edit summary to point errors that I made. That develped into a confict on the talk page, which soon after,was resolved on Ryan's talk page. She misunderstood that I was kidding around and I mistakenly assumed that she was trolling. So I further learned to Assume Good Faith after that(although that is admittedly one of the hardest Wiki-ideals to master).
