Vague Rant

Vote here (5/0/0) ending 01:30 20 January 2005 (UTC)

I hereby nominate Vague Rant to be an administrator. He's done very good work with copyvios, as well as some stuff with VFD. He has 3033 edits as of this writing, and has been contributing since July 1, 2004. He's been quite active since July 31. I've talked to him on IRC, and he's a very decent guy, and I think that he'll be a great help to Wikipedia if he's an admin. -Frazzydee|✍ 01:30, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Strongly accept. Thanks, Frazz. - Vague | Rant 01:53, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)

  • I make a lot of minor edits. Therefore, my edit count may be deceptive. - Vague | Rant 01:53, Jan 13, 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. As Frazzydee mentioned above, I report a lot of copyvios, which I find, for the most part, via Special:Newpages, which means I also come across a lot of speedy candidates. I'd do the obvious deletion of them, and I'd also be willing to work on Wikipedia:Copyright problems and Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. I could make a generic remark about the rollback feature here, but it's nothing you're not already aware that I will do.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Tony Sheridan and his album My Bonnie were both articles inited by me, and I'm unsure of which I like more. A lot of work went into the researching of My Bonnie, while I think Sheridan displays probably the highest quality of writing I've done here. I'd like to see them get some editing done by other people, though. It seems no one's noticed them, yet. I also liked my changes to "Jealous Guy", where I added some info on its grounding in the Get Back sessions [1]. I was trying to get it to mirror Wikipedia's excellent article on "Yesterday", and while I don't think I achieved that quality, I definitely think my contributions greatly improved "Jealous Guy". I'm really more of an editor than a writer however, and I do a lot of cleanup (not Wikipedia:Cleanup, just Special:Randompage and clean style).
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 will deal with it in the future?
A. I had a minor bit of conflict on Autobiography, but it was soon sorted. I've, of course, had a bit of trouble with the copyvio side of things--it seems people aren't so impressed when their hard work copying and pasting comes to nothing. I've tried to help with explaining the process by leaving messages on users' talk pages and placing a boilerplate on the top of my user and talk pages to help with queries.
