Everymorning (talk·contribs) – I have been editing Wikipedia since January 27, 2013 (under this account). I registered under the username Jinkinson and had my username changed last November. I have created numerous articles, 2 of which are currently GAs (no FAs), and have 29 DYK credits. Everymorningtalk 19:38, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:
1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
A: Blocking vandals and protecting and deleting pages. With respect to deleting pages, I would likely start off focusing on ones that have been tagged for speedy deletion, an area where I am active a fair amount now. Later I would probably move on to closing AFDs, which is more difficult.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
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: I have recently taken an interest in alternative medicine-related articles, which is sometimes controversial. Sometimes my edits are reverted or my proposals on the talk page shot down. When this happens, I don't tend to dwell on it too much, and if someone reverts one of my edits I tend not to get in an edit war with them. Another area of controversy is WP:ITNC, where I have made numerous nominations. Sometimes I get frustrated because many of them are unsuccessful, but I don't lash out about it now that I am more experienced in this area (although this was not always true).
Additional question from Iaritmioawp
4. Consider the following hypothetical scenario which will test your understanding of WP:CONSENSUS. Five editors take part in a discussion. Four of them argue in favor of outcome A, one of them argues in favor of outcome B. The arguments of the advocates of outcome A are weak and are easily refuted by the one editor who argues in favor of outcome B. The one editor who argues in favor of outcome B offers numerous policy-, guideline-, and common-sense-based arguments, none of which are refuted. You are the administrator whose role is to formally close the discussion. What is the outcome of the debate, A or B?
