Pilotguy (talk · contribs) – Pilotguy is cleared for adminship, he's been active in RC patrol, AfD, Help Desk, and guess what, even the odd very nice article. He clearly passes *FA with * FA's, I see no reason why we should not clear him for adminship Tawker 20:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose
Neutral
  1. Neutral. Has a DC-10 sized signature in an era that tolerates nothing larger than a CRJ. Again, this has nothing to do with the candidate's qualifications or conduct, but it'll cause objections at some point. --Elkman (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) 21:44, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and shortened it to my prior version, however I can shrink it further if requested. --Pilot|guy 22:01, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer 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: There are many things I would be intrested in helping out with. I would, however, probably start out with the areas that I have the experience most in, including, but not limited to, reverting vandalism, blocking/unblocking users, page protections/deletions/moves, and also possibly closing a few AFDs, CFDs, etc., just to name a few. Eventually, I would like to spread out to help clear/close copyvios, and related work.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I would probably be proud of the articles I have listed on my user page, but also the ones I have committed to fixing/cleaning up, which are not listed there. Wikipedia is a phenominal encyclopedia and I always take pride in improving or expanding it for the benefit of others.
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: I have had a few minor instances, but, in my opinion, they occured early on when I was still "learning." I got hit with two blocks because the blocking administrators mistaked my revert edits as vandalism, so I got a little agitated there, but I began to realise that we are all human, and all make mistakes. I have gone out of my way to follow WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL and so far I have done so to the best of my ability, and, although it will be a little challenging, I will do my best to continue to do so.

DriniQuestion

Do you think admins performing actions (deletions, blocks) for reasons not covered on policy should be sanctioned? If so, how? -- Drini 21:00, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This one's tough, and, of course, it all depends on the situation. Certainly, I feel best judgement should always be used, however, my observations in the past have told me that this doesn't work out too well for our community. So, I feel that should such an action need to occur, it will need to have community consensus and input, and therefore the admin will have outside advice, as well as support, for the best action to take.
