Sean Black (
talk·contribs) – Sean has been here since June 11
[1]. Looking at that diff, one can see that his very first edit was reverting vandalism, and he did it correctly, and he used an edit summary even. This first edit showed good potential, and from what I've seen, he's been great. He's got 1949 edits as of me typing this up (please don't say 'will support at 2000' it's rather pointless ;-) Let's go over some statistics: last 500 edits (as of 00:33 November 18 UTC) have been between the end of November 1 and November 18, so I believe he passes the activity test. He is JUST shy (983 as of typing this) of 1,000 article edits, he has over 400 talkspace edits, and he has over 350 Wikipedia edits. I believe he's past all those bars. Sean works on everything from articles to welcoming newbies to RC Patrol to complimenting people. I think he's earned the extra tools, and proven he's to be trusted.

Support. All my personal interactions with him have been positive, his answers below make me believe he'll use the admin toolbox responsibly and we need more admins. It's an open and shut case. -

Hayupp. A little low on the article-space edits, but editcount ain't everything, so everyone keeps saying. Has shown good skills since he's been here, so I'll add my scrawled X in the plus column.

Well I was going to vote oppose but it seems he reached 2,000 edits...Support! (just in case you didn't know I was kidding about the 2,000 mark thing)

A. I believe that deleting speedies, closing AfDs, assisting with backlog (
WP:RM,
WP:CP, ect) will be high on the list, but I don't anticipate blocking too much (Titoxd and Curps are better at it, no reason to step on their toes), although I'll do so if necessary. Basically, I'll help out however I can!--

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Tough one. Many of my edits are minor, tweaking little things here and there, but I think I did a good job on
Jason Voorhees,
Friday the 13th (film series), which I heavily cleaned up as part of an ongoning project to improve
horror film related articles.
Critters (film series) was something I picked from
WP:RA, and I feel that that's a significantly good article for a third rate
Gremlins rip-off :), and
Pip and Jane Baker, which I was surprised didn't exist before. However, I'm most proud of the diversity of the articles I've edited- everything from
The Brain of Morbius to
Hamas to
Galvatron to
John Kerry. I think that I have both greatly increased my knowledge of the world through WP, and hopefully, others knowledge of it as well. Additionally, I'm very proud of those new users that I helped learn ways of WP- It's more than just welcomes, it's answering what many of us percieve as "dumb questions" kindly, honestly, and openly.--

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.Mostly no, as I tend to avoid contentious areas. However, I was part of a nasty edit war at
List of minor Doctor Who villains which I felt I dealt with well. Additionally, I recently started editing
Political views of Lyndon LaRouche and related articles in an attempt to broaden my Wikipedian perspective: as most know, these articles have a history (including two ArbCom decisions), but I feel that the editing has been mostly civil, with less POV pushers and far more good faith concerns about neutrality and original research, and I think that I have handled it well.--
