{{User|Jeffrey O. Gustafson}} – Ahoy fair editors! This is a self-nomination. I came to The Project a year ago next month, registered last December, but only started ''actively'' editing in April. Until this summer, I spent most of my time reading the wiki, following link after link, and aquainting myself with how it all works. By August I became a real Wiki-addict, editing stuff at random as I came to it (most of my edits are since August). I like to spend time at [[Special:Newpages]] helping articles off on the right foot (wikifying, cleaning up, stubbifying), or tagging for speedy/AfD where needed (which, I have discovered, is alot), and I recently got hooked on RC patrol. I am the creator, author, and maintainer of the [[Wikipedia:Former featured articles]] project page, and I close the votes on [[WP:FARC]]. The world would not run without the Janitors, and I'd relish the opportunity to be able to more effectively help things more behind-the-scenes. Thank you all for your consideration. --[[User:Jeffrey O. Gustafson|Jeffrey O. Gustafson]] - ''[[User:Jeffrey O. Gustafson/Contributions|Shazaam!]]'' - [[User_Talk:Jeffrey O.

::A. To quote RadicalBender, "we MUST stop accomodating and enabling trolls through process," and "Vandals should be shot on sight and their heads should be placed on pikes as a warning to others," figuratively speaking, of course. Sometimes (I'm sorry, I do not have specifics here, just generalizations), there is too much tolerance for vandals, with users leaving multiple messages to clearly malignant non-users before doing anything while said vandal plugs away ignoring all threats. This isn't for all vandals: there are degrees of severity that need to be judged. Sometimes, users need to be guided in the right direction, yes; others, one warning is enough, then action should be taken. It's a judgement thing, and admins should use their judgement. |

By August I became a real Wiki-addict, editing stuff at random as I came to it (most of my edits are since August). I like to spend time at Special:Newpages helping articles off on the right foot (wikifying, cleaning up, stubbifying), or tagging for speedy/AfD where needed (which, I have discovered, is alot), and I recently got hooked on RC patrol. I am the creator, author, and maintainer of the Wikipedia:Former featured articles project page, and I close the votes on WP:FARC.
