Working the back end (tagged for a year or more) of the cleanup queue has been, as Quadell noted above, the source of most of my experience with maintenance type work; it's taught me how to spot speedy deletion and prod candidates (since the deletion of something that's been cleanup tagged for a year

Like Robth, I take much interest in ancient Greek topics; and I still remember my satisfaction when he started writing his brilliant articles, especially on periods partly ignored by wikipedia like the 4th century BC. Robth would be, IMO, the perfect admin., with his great expertise and a guarantee

I see that my low participation in *FDs is, quite reasonably, a concern for some people. (By the count on my watchlist, I have commented on less than an a dozen AfDs and TfDs combined.) To make it clear, I assure you that, if promoted, I won't do anything so darned foolish as running off and
644:. Lack of AfD participation normally precludes a support. However, user is a respectable and reasonable person, and I believe s/he will neither intentionall abuse the tools nor get into situations where s/he may come to unintentionally misuse them. - 143:
recently, dealing with entries there that don't require administrative tools to resolve. This being the case, I would anticipate working on deletion, helping with clearing out prod categories when their time comes and with keeping the backlogs at

would be enhanced if he had the ability to delete copyright violations. In tricky situations, he's shown himself to be balanced, restrained, and tactful. He's a great asset to the project, and I don't believe he would abuse his admin abilities.–

Small number of AfD's is a concern, but I had a look at them and found them well-reasoned, with various instances where other editors seconded his opinion. No concerns there, and everything else I've seen is beyond reproach. ~
1281:
It seems like featured article is your niche and you've recently started working copyright problems where we could always do with more people, but your lack of experience in Articles for Deletion (about 10)

It looks this candidate has the focused eye for speedy deletes and copyvios. So the lack of AfD activity is not too critical. Everyone has their own specialties. So no probs here.

Candidate has indicated that he won't participate in XfDs, so I see no reason to call him out on that. WP:CP must have quite a backlog; it'd be nice to see an admin over there. —

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?
1329:
Lack of participation in AfD articles and the low edits on Knowledge (XXG) namespace is a major concern here. However, you are a fine editor and unlikely to abuse admin tools. --

under control. The delete button would also be occasionally convenient while working on the cleanup queue, since speedy deletion candidates do pop up there from time to time.

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Knowledge (XXG) in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

starting to close *fDs; Knowledge (XXG) is large, and that's an area I haven't spent time in; I'll make sure to stick to what I'm confident I can do a good job at. --
1425: 1406:. I'm appreciative of the editor's commitment to rewriting articles to improve flow; however, I'm worried about the lack of participation in AfDs, per Netsnipe. 828: 244: 227: 1443: 129: 401:

I've seen him around - enthusiastic and very helpful editor. And he's willing to help out at a backlog that needs attention.--
998:. Given that he's not planning to close XfDs immediately and wants to work on the copyright backlog, I see no reason why not. 315:
Answers to questions, edit summaries in contributions and statistics show that this user would use the admin tools sensibly.

Of your articles or contributions to Knowledge (XXG), are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
