| |
| ''A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:''
| |
| :'''1.''' What duties, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out [[:Category:Project Page]]s for a list of projects.
| |
| ::A. I've aided in the Citation Jihad, which attempts in keeping all information with a reasonable deduced or factual source, and essentially aided in "enforcing" the standards and policies that we've agreed to by consensus. I hope to be a greater aid to the Original Series Development Project as well, and I watch carefully for our new visitors and "greet." Basically, a wiki admin is a good referee, it seems, keeping things balanced or alerting all to changes in their interest.
| |
| | |
| :'''2.''' Of your articles or contributions here, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
| |
| ::A. My very first article: [[Case Orange]]. It just came to me when I was visiting Wikipedia one day (with the [[Miniseries]] DVD playing on my computer), and I thought, "I wonder if there's a Battlestar wiki around somewhere." From that, what, 5 minute scene I noticed a great deal, of late, how badly the Colonials must have been brought to defeat in the first war for them to have such an emergency plan. After that, I love the [[Computers]] page since I again pulled data from where it was scattered about to give insight on a bit of technical workings.
| |
| | |
| :'''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. Ricimer can tell you about his problems with a fellow contributor that was really behaving badly, and how several other contributors (myself included) tried to mediate before sterner measures had to be done to the offending contributor. This place is a community of opinions; even we disagree, we enjoy the debate necessary to decide the best course of action, and typically solve it without any personal attacks. Mediation is normally the best way to handle what few ''ad hominem'' attacks appear on the wiki; generally these are very rare. In any case, I would take my administrative cues from Joe. You have to be a genuine ass to be banned, temporarily or permanently--and it would be an offense that threatens (and is noticed by) the community of the wiki. Admins must never be overlords (although I, for one, would hope you'd welcome me as one should that status change...:). For the most part, aside from the additional housekeeping asked of me by Joe and by the wiki, I hope no one really notices the admin status. I'm too busy having fun contributing to be "bossy."
