Aarktica (talk · contribs) - I would like to nominate Aarktica (talk · contribs) for adminship. Aarktica is a dedicated, helpful, civil editor with over six months of experience and 4000 edits. You'll find that this editor has broad contributions that display a knowledge of policy (AIV, XfD, etc.) and a willingness to collaborate. Aarktica has been especially proficient with work at the Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests desk, assisting new editors in a wide array of activities. I am confident that Aarktica—a cooperative editor always looking to improve Wikipedia, and ever-willing to accept constructive criticism—can be trusted and will not abuse the tools. — Scientizzle 22:47, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept. --Aarktica 00:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?

A: I have experience participating in various XfDs and tagging articles for speedy deletion, so I intend to work with on AFD, CFD, RFD and CSD. I've also done a fair amount of vandal fighting, so I think I could be useful at AIV. I'm interested in learning the ropes at IfD, and would like to help out with copyright violations at WP:CP. Seeing that many of these areas are prone to backlogs, having the additional access will make it possible to participate more effectively there.

2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

A: As the ninth editor to sign up for WP:EA (shortly after it was created), I have participated extensively over at WP:EAR, often following up to confirm resolution of requests for assistance. I have created a few articles (Mae West hold, Namdroling Monastery, World Eskimo Indian Olympics) but have also spent a fair amount of time copyediting the work of others (101 Battalion). As part of WP:WWF, I have helped improve articles upon request (Haleigh Poutre, List of Japanese Army Military Engineer Vehicles (WW2)).

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 don't know if it qualifies as a "conflict," but I was threatened with a block for my efforts to volunteer with WP:UAA. I simply found other places to participate. I don't know that I would have done anything differently, either.
