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:I intend to take part in deleting nonsense/vandalism pages that tend to get created often, as well as removing harassment/direct insults towards other users. I would also Block users who are being very disruptive/disrespectful towards other users (only if they continue to do so, after being politely asked to stop harassing).

 * 2. What do you consider to be your best contributions, and why?
 * A:My best contributions tend to be fixing grammer (since there tends to be lots of spelling errors), as well as reverting users who vandalize, or make unsourced edits, etc. I also remove harassment, because it does not solve anything, and only provokes users into childish name calling, or flaming (as well as even resorting to vandalism).

 * 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:Yes I have. I tended to revert most IP users Here and Here, due to them removing information, and in the beggining, got into somewhat of an edit war when it came to Leo's. However I learned my lesson after Fred explained that to put something like that in, you had to discussion it first. Some dissagreed with it being put in, while others didn't have a problem with it (well, Leo's talk page that is, but I still removed the speculation, and re-worded it, as well as Luna's). Anytime I reverted a user, I try to direct them to the talk page most of the time, or ask them nicely not to remove information from them or other articles. In the future, I plan to do the same, while doing what "Golden Key" did, which is ask them if they feel something needs re-wording, to mention it on the talk page. If they won't listen no matter what, I would ask another admin if a one-week semi-protect is necessery or not.

I was also in a somewhat conflict with a user on "I hate Inzecter" forums. When I removed his comment (which was very harassive), I told him why, which is that he cannot insult other users like that. When he put his comment back, he sweared at me, and added another rude comment to the page. Rather then retort, I simply went to the Admin Noticeboard to notify an admin of the problem.

 * 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:I'm not an admin or bureacrat, but I have contributed to Wikipedia.org a few times before, when it came to changing a portion of the 5ds characters (while pointing out how some sentences were reduntent and unecessery). Shardsilver (talk • contribs) 16:31, January 11, 2012 (UTC)
