final (21/0/0) ending 21:51 15 November 2004 (UTC)

Joy has made over 2100 edits to Wikipedia since May of 2004. She has taken the concept of "Wiki-custodian" to dizzying heights with her tenacious work on Topbanana's reports. She would be a valuable Wikipedia admin. Taco Deposit | Talk-o Deposit 21:51, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC)

Thank you so kindly for your nomination; I accept. Joyous 23:04, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC)

Question: Didn't Joy get an account name change from something else? Just for the sake of memory, it would be good to have that listed here. Geogre 15:17, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

You are most likely thinking of User:Joy who used to be "Shallot." Taco Deposit | Talk-o Deposit 15:58, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)

I've never had a different account name. Joyous 21:39, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)

D'oh! (They say memory is the second thing to go, and I can't remember the first.) Geogre 02:14, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)

A. I'd be happy to assist with checking new articles, organizational tasks on VFD and Cleanup, and watching for/reverting vandalism. I expect to continue the non-sysop work I've been doing with repairing links, general copyediting, and creating/expanding articles.

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A. I'm very proud of the work I've done with Topbanana's list of mispunctuated links. Though a bit tedious, I enjoy the feeling that I'm helping knit the information on Wikepedia a little more tightly together. As far as specific articles go, I'm quite happy with how Flesch-Kincaid Readability Test turned out, especially as it had been a VFD-nominated article. Snellen chart is another that I'm pleased with, as an example of the power of collaborative editing.

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 will deal with it in the future?

A. The articles where I do extensive editing tend to be uncontroversial: it's hard to get too worked up over masking tape, for example. I've made some mistakes, and when they've been brought to my attention, I've fixed them. On occasions where I believe someone else is in error, I've tried to be very polite when I've asked about it. I see this as a goal for the future: politeness tends to beget politeness.

Please stop inserting your POV into masking tape. It isn't always "easy-to-tear". ;-) func(talk) 04:21, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
