[edit] Howcheng

final (74/0/0) ending 01:10 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Howcheng (talk · contribs) – I would like to nominate Howcheng for adminship. He has been here since late June and already got almost 7000 edits across all areas. He is a excellent AFD contributer who normally close the keep ones, does redirects and also relists them if no one voted on them. He also does good cleanup in general and excellent work in the copyvio section. He is also kind and civil and does what is best for wikipedia. I think Howcheng would make a excellent admin. Jaranda wat's sup 19:05, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I am honored to accept. howcheng [ tcwe ] 01:11, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

  40. Support. Seen Howcheng around quite a bit, good work. --Syrthiss 13:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  41. Support with the quickness, but he needs to remember too many relistings clog AfD (particularly if the decision is an obvious one). Proto t c 15:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  42. Support I must be confused with how adminship works. Howcheng! has been closing AFDs for ages now, and I always feel comfortable with his closings. Is one of the best, if not THE best, closer going. And I am sure that everyone here knows how critical I am of AFD closers. You can trust Howcheng! Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 16:24, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  43. Support. No big deal. If you were planning on thanking me personally, please don't. --LV (Dark Mark) 17:23, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  44. Support I thought he was a good closing admin, but now I learn he's not an admin. Obviously he should be. --Rob 18:06, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  45. Hyper VfD Support. I thought he's an sysop already! - Mailer Diablo 18:25, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  46. Monty Pythonesque support I can see a giant rubber "admin" stamp... Scoo 19:10, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

  48. Support, see Mailer's reason Sceptre (Talk) 21:29, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  49. Support Very good. --a.n.o.n.y.m t 22:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  50. Support'. Does not need my support by the look of it, but nevertheless I do ≈ jossi ≈ t@ 00:19, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  51. Support. Agree with all the above... -- Jbamb 00:30, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  52. Support. I loved the fact that recently he went through and found old AfDs with no votes because they hadn't been listed properly, and bumped them to ensure they were properly debated. That screams sysop material. Hope to see him around. Harro5 03:16, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  53. More support than a house of cards (an oblique reference to this being the 53rd vote). BD2412 T 04:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  54. Support. Solid candidate. JHMM13 (T | C) 05:22, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  55. Strong Support: unless the deck has two Jokers... then I'd be the one to crash the house; the house that support built! - RoyBoy 800 05:35, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  56. Sure Support. Have been seeing his great work for a long time. -Aabha (talk) 06:36, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  57. Support. Excellent contribution. --Ian Pitchford 10:17, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  58. Cue "OMG, you're not an admin?" Johnleemk | Talk 10:46, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  59. Support Will make good use of the mop, bring it on. --Alf melmac 12:08, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  60. Level-headed user, so let's join the pileon. Radiant_>|< 13:15, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  61. Support Always leaves a good impression. Banes 16:28, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  62. Strong support. Great user; very helpful to me early on. PJM 18:23, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  63. Support. Insert standard "I thought he already was one!" disclaimer. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 21:54, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  64. Support - per nom and his comments are insightful without being incite-ful. ++Lar 01:36, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  65. Support. Few days go by that he hasn't brought up an orphaned AfD. Ifnord 03:16, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  66. Support. Good, consistent work, and fair comments on AfD. I'm surprised he's not an admin already. Jamie (talk/contribs) 05:46, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  67. Support. Another solid Wikipedian from California. - Darwinek 18:36, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

  71. Support: --Bhadani 13:01, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
  72. Support. Seen him around before. :) --Andylkl [ talk! | c ] 13:18, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
  73. Support. I may of voted already though? :p Hedley 16:03, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
  74. Support. #73, #74 says your vote is a unique one; I checked. --Ancheta Wis 17:47, 25 December 2005 (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 check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A. Without trying to sound too flippant, whatever needs help. My past experience has been mostly concentrated in AfD, so that's where I'll start, but I'd be happy to contribute wherever I'm needed, such as copyvio handling, speedy deletions, requested moves, RfD, TfD, and CfD.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I'm most proud of articles that fill a niche, even if they're somewhat obscure. I started the List of California Historical Landmarks (still uncompleted) and either created or heavily contributed to a number of California-history related articles (see User:Howcheng/California Landmarks). To me, they are topics that are encyclopedic but get very little coverage. I happen to be rather pleased with my first created article, England v United States (1950), which although my prose was a bit flowery at first (and was since copyedited by someone else), I later expanded with information from more sources. I'm also proud that two of my earliest edits, to Cat, are still in the article (about lactose intolerance and rescue groups not adopting out black cats in the weeks prior to Halloween).
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. Dealing with the topics that I do (California history and football (soccer)), there have been very few reasons to get into edit conflicts with other users, so I have been fortunate not to have experienced any real conflict there. Any editing conflicts I've had have been resolved quickly with a quick note to the other party. However, I've had to deal with a number of puppetfests in AfD (some examples: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Praeon Network, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/She Put, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dknyamf Inc.), so I think I'm pretty good at not being provoked. My approach has been to cite policy and whatever conforms best to Wikipedia policy is what I go with, even if it's contrary to what I personally feel.
