Rogerd (talk · contribs) – This is Rogerds' second nomination and it has been more than 3 months since his first self nom failed primarily due to lack of project space contributions. Now he has almost 6,000 edits and 1,500 of them have been to project space. Rogerd has been working hard on disambiguations and is one of the most polite and courteous editors I have come across. Rogerd has been active in every namespace and I trust he will be an excellent Admin.--MONGO 02:27, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I humbly accept, and thank MONGO for the nom. --rogerd 04:05, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

  1. Weak Oppose: I'm sorry to be the lone voice of opposition, here, but I've recently decided I'd like to ask admin candidates to have twelve months of editing history before being accepted. Also, since I do not know the candidate, I don't have enough information to support. I need to personally know that a candidate has demonstrated a commitment to NPOV and consensus before supporting. I've added a question about this below, and if the answer is shows enough overwhelming support for these principles, I may consider changing this to a Neutral or Support. Nothing personal, I'm just trying to prompt us all to think about raising our own standards for this process. Given the number of votes you've received at this point, it seems likely you will be promoted despite my vote here. :) Jdavidb (talk • contribs) 16:06, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral

Comments

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 check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A. The articles for deletion seems to get backlogged a lot, I think I can be of some help there, as well as IfD, CfD and other deletions. Also copyright problems and requested moves. If I am made an admin, I will check on the administrators' noticeboard often to try to help where needed. I also believe that admins should be very careful dealing with controversies in articles that he/she has done a lot of editing, and in some cases should get other admins involved. I already do a lot of vandal patrolling, and admin rights will help with that.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. National Museum of the United States Air Force as well as several other articles related to aircraft (both civilian and military) like Taylorcraft Aircraft, North American BT-9 and Sikorsky R-4. I am also interested in early US history and WW II. I contributed a lot to an article about a little known incident in the American Revolutionary War, known as the Newburgh Conspiracy, as well as other articles about the period.
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. Only some minor incidents. No real stress. An anonymous editor kept trying to re-insert unsubstantiated claims in the Daryn Kagan article. After trying to discuss this on the article talk page (they kept changing IP, so I couldn't use the user talk page), I put in a request in WP:RFPP. I feel that the best way to handle things like that are to discuss them calmly, and then try to compromise. And remember that you aren't going to win every disagreement. You should only revert or resort to heavier handed means if the other party is violating established WP rules.
4. Please provide diffs to edits you have made which demonstrate your commitment to Wikipedia's core principles of consensus and NPOV. Do you believe that the NPOV policy will eventually result in a high-quality encyclopedia? Do you believe that consensus among Wikipedians is the proper way to produce articles and create and administer policy? Please demonstrate with diffs. Are there any cases where consensus has gone against the way you think things should have been? How did you handle it? Diffs representing these cases would also be helpful.
