E (talk · contribs) - Hello, fellow Wikipedians. I would like to nominate User:E for adminship. Formerly known as Extranet, E has been making the internet not suck since October 26, 2006. Since then, he has accumulated over 3000 edits (for those of you out there with a mild case of editcountitis). He has had two previous RfA's (see Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Extranet and Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Extranet2), and I think he's learned from both. He has reported various users to AIV and WP:UAA. He is also a regular on the Signpost, having written several issues of the Features and admins section. E is also a little tech savvy and runs three bots; EBot, who archives finished requests at Wikipedia:Abuse reports, EBot2, who archives completed cases at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets, and ENewsBot, who delivers the newletters for WikiProject Iceland and WikiProject Brisbane. He also occasionally provides comments at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval. I trust this user and am confident that he will not block Jimbo or delete the Main Page if given administrative buttons, as he has been trained by the best at TT's Virtual Classroom. I am confident that he will be a great administrator if given a few more buttons. Fellow Wikipedians, I give you E for your consideration. Eddie 14:44, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I humbly accept Eddie's nomination. — E ^talk_bots 21:57, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?

A: I am a recent changes patroller and fighting vandalism is in my field of interest. I revert any vandalism that I find, followed by warning the user with one of the five vandalism warning templates. If this vandalism continued, I would notify the user further, followed by reporting them to AIV with a reason which is explained in detail. That brings me to my first point, as I would like to help out in various areas around the encyclopedia, including WP:AIV, WP:RFPP, WP:UAA and CAT:SPEEDY. The pages in the administrative backlog will be on my watchlist and actioned on until they are no longer backlogged as much. If anyone requires any administrative assistance is free to post on my talk page if anything is needed such as a vandal investigated, page protected, etc. I am very familiar with the username policy and will often monitor Special:Log/newusers to spot any inappropriate names that may be listed there. I then either place {{subst:UsernameConcern}} on their talk page or report them to WP:UAA if it is a serious violation. I like to help people and if any user requires help (either at CAT:HELP or WP:HD), I will always be glad to assist them with my current knowledge in the field of the enquiry. If there is any other areas that other administrators would like me to have a go at, I'd be glad to chip in my extra few edits there as I do like to check out new things and try them out.

2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

A: Throughout my time at Wikipedia, I have made numerous thousand contributions to various articles of all types from biography to geography. My favourite hobby is photography and I have uploaded quite a few logos, personal images and screenshots to the encyclopedia to help expand the article in question. I do still anticipate to create and cleanup more articles on behalf of some WikiProjects. I run three bots on the project, EBot, EBot2 and ENewsBot, which are also making edits to help build a better and more productive encyclopedia. Below are a few of my great edits to the project, and I believe that this list will be growing to a larger amount soon.

Articles:

• Greenslopes Private Hospital - Created article with logo, factual information and integrated hospital infobox. (Categorized)
• And The Big Men Fly - Created article with bookcover image, factual spoiler and information with a book infobox. (Categorized)

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: Throughout my time here at Wikipedia, I have only been in around three conflicts with some users regarding matters such as image rationales, factual and article errors, but in particular vandals (usually anons). I have resolved all of my conflicts in a non-violent and peaceful way, and will continue to do so with any future ones. I never try to bite the newcomers, but in some cases of serious vandalism, there is actions that we do have to take to stop the vandal. Another situation was when I got in the middle of a conflict between two other users (cannot remember names) about a factual error, which was successfully stopped because of my actions. I believe they both left the project in early January, but it was a relief to stop the conflict between them.
