Ulayiti

[edit]

Vote here (29/1/0) ending 13:01 8 September 2005 (UTC) Ulayiti (talk · contribs) - This is a self-nomination. Ed Poor mistook me for an admin the other day, so I decided to try and actually become one. I've been a registered user since July 2004, but I've only been editing actively since April this year. I now have a bit more than 2,000 edits, with 1,200 of them on the article namespace (plus lots and lots of speedy tags). I've been active with all sorts of things having to do with Wikipedia maintenance, such as RC patrol, fighting vandalism, welcoming new users and helping them around, and participating on VfD and RfA. Having admin tools at my disposal would make a lot of this much easier. I'm confident that I'm familiar enough with policies and guidelines to become a responsible and useful admin. --ulayiti (talk) 13:01, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Well, it's a self-nomination, so obviously I'm going to accept. :) - ulayiti (talk) 13:23, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

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. The main reason why I'm nominating myself is that I'd like to be more active in fighting vandalism. I'd find the rollback tool very useful, and the ability to block persistent vandals without having to go to WP:AIV would also be nice. I'd also like to help out with closing VfD debates and deleting speedy candidates. I'm somewhat of an inclusionist (not very extreme though), so you wouldn't have to worry about me deleting anything that could be useful in WP.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. To me, my most precious contribution is the article I wrote (mostly) on Turku, my hometown in Finland. It's been a FAC, and failed only because nobody turned up to copyedit it (so if anybody sees this and is interested, please do so). :)
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. Persistent vandalism that I have no means to counter sometimes causes me a bit of stress, but I don't generally tend to be stressed. I recently had something of a conflict with User:Leistung, who accused me of systematically reverting all of his edits (see my talk page). I wasn't aware of doing this, since to my knowledge I was only reverting POV edits on the Adolf Hitler article. I think I was able to satisfactorily resolve the situation. There have been a few other conflicts, and I'm sure there will be more in the future, but I'm not the type to get mad about stuff like this, and I'll be able to resolve anything peacefully.
