RuneScape:Requests for adminship/AnselaJonla

Hi, my name is Ansela and I've been a member of the RuneScape wiki since October 17, 2009 and an active contributor since June 2011. In that time I have made 6,315 edits. I am often found in chat and am a chat moderator in there.

When I am on the wiki I make use of Suppa's RCH tools to monitor edits made to the wiki and catch vandalism in progress. I also check Special:NewFiles regularly and tag images for deletion if I think they need it, warn vandals using their talk pages, leave welcome messages for new users and move images that have unsuitable file names.

Being British, I am most active during GMT daytime and evening, leading into the early hours of the morning. This means I am on at a time when there are currently fewer active admins to handle vandals, especially around late morning to early afternoon time.

''I accept this nomination for adminship. I have read the policies concerning administrators. I realise that this nomination may fail. If I do get community consensus, I promise not to abuse my tools because I realise that this is a serious offence. If the community finds that I have done so, my tools will be revoked, and in extreme cases I could be given a community ban. Signed,'' 02:20, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

Questions for the nominee
1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

I would mostly focus on counter-vandalism as I currently do, although I may do some maintenance also, if images need merging or deleting. I would keep an eye on RCH while I'm online in order to catch any vandalism, any CVU reports, Admin requests on AR and any speedy deletion candidates.

2. What are your best contributions to the RuneScape Wiki, and why?

I don't really feel that I have a “best” contribution, as it is. I've simply edited pages as I've gone, fixing any mistakes I can see. I've done some work on warning/information templates recently, and I laid the ground work for a couple of quest guides in late summer/early autumn, but those were all improved massively by other users after me.

'''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?'''

As regular users of Special:Chat know, I have been in several heated debates with Coolnesse over the use of languages other than English in the chatroom, usually in the aftermath of someone being kicked for breaking the language rule. I admit that I haven't always dealt with the situation with a level head, but I have resolved to either ignore any attempts from Nesse to restart the argument or remove myself from the chat until I have cooled down if the situation rearises.
