Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve as an administrator. Please answer the following four questions to provide guidance for participants:
- 1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
- A: Eh, not sure. I tend to do whatever jumps in my mind, so pretty much general mainteinance.
- 2. What do you consider to be your best contributions, and why?
- A: Hmmmm, I don't know. Again, my edits cover a wide range of contexts.
- 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: Sometimes. I guess I tend to rant my mind on where-ever we happen to argue... but like to think I'm quite lenient with actual retaliation, and probably other admins would take action before I reach my limit.
- 4. Do you regularly contribute to any other wikis? Are you an administrator or bureaucrat on any of them, or do you have accounts with similar roles on forums, blogs, etc.? Could you provide links, if so?
- A: The only other wiki I regularly edit is Yu-Gi-Oh! Custom Wiki, where I was also made admin due to my high standards of editing, as well as being online a large part of the day and on CET (which I guess lets me deal with problems quickier than most users, and cover timeslots lacking on vigilantes based on the American continent).
Other editors may post optional questions for the candidate here.
Question from Cheesedude
You mention that you're not sure what kind of administrative work you'd take part in. That is similiar to my own answer to that question on my own RfA years ago. Given that, I'm going to ask something based on what I've experienced since I myself answered that question.
- 1. What would your approach be to dealing with a user who appears to be acting in good faith, but is simply plain wrong in how they are doing things? For example, say there is a user who is insistent that something should be formatted a certain way, when said way is in violation of current policy?

- A: I guess it should be simple, I would leave a message on their talk page explaining what did they got wrong and how it shouldbe, and after they reply expressing confirmation that they understood their error, I would revert the improper changes, or at least try to rewrite them in a compliant way that still adds to the previous content.

Support
- +1 (nominator). Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 23:41, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
- In agreement. XB is a masterclass of an editor, and he knows his stuff. Sanokal K-T (talk • contribs) 00:13, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
- +1. Very much in support of this, XB is well versed in the way we do things on the pedia. KyrusDarkblade244 (talk • contribs) 01:32, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
- It's hard to keep track of XB's work because his edits cover nearly all aspects of Yu-Gi-Oh. Has been of great help to keep the whole place in order, I support his nomination. GMTails (talk • contribs) 01:42, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
- XBrain has been a dedicated editor for many years. I completely trust him with the responsibilities associated with adminship. --03:48, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
- Support. I trust this user, but I do urge him to heed UltimateKuriboh's comments below. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 18:48, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
Oppose
Neutral
- I cast a "neutral" vote, heavily tinged with "support." While he's been an excellent editor, I have the feeling he's had some angry arguments with other editors (I may be misremembering). If this is true, then you want to work harder on presenting your arguments in a calm/neutral manner, since any subsequent admin-related punishments on your part (as a result of the argument) may be truly viewed as biased. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 07:15, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
