MC MasterChef (
talk·contribs) – I saw MC MasterChef today when I was doing RC patrol. He is removing vandalism like no one's business. If you look at his contributions, you can see that he is really active in fighting vandalism. I fully expected him to block
User:Justinting after he had vandalised
Law & Orderfour times in the same day, but when he didn't, I blocked Justinting myself, and later realised MC MasterChef wasn't an admin. Now I wish that he was made an admin so he could revert vandalism faster and block vandals himself.

Support! In addition to being a top-notch vandal-fighter, this guy truly understands how WP works; his Speedy tags are right on the money, and I've even seen him clean up after admins... The sooner we give him the mop and the shotgun, the safer we can all sleep at night.

Support lower edit count than I'd actually like, but he certainly seems to know what adminship entails. Please spend a little more time creating articles in the future.

Support. Lately whenever I go to clean up vandalism, I find that MCMC has beaten me to it, or had reverted previous vandalism. An overall "good guy" --

Good work, but maybe a little too quick on the revert button? [1] --
Yodakii 05:17, 5 November 2005 (UTC)reply
Hmm, that appears to be a pretty clear error on my part. Not sure what happened; I think I may have been trying to revert an earlier version and missed that it had already been fixed by
Jossifresco, when Perle snuck in just before me? In any case I've corrected it now, and will try and exercise greater care in the future. Thanks, —

A chart showing this user's edits along with a total # of edits line and average edits per day line is available here:
Image:MCMasterChef-edits.png. I offer this not as a more refined version of editcountitis, but as just one tool to help evaluate an admin nominee with a somewhat low edit count on Wikipedia. --
Durin 14:06, 2 November 2005 (UTC)reply
Use of edit summaries is 79%, 89% over last 200 edits. Average edits per day is 6 per day, 18 per day over last 60 days. --

Questions for the candidate A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
A. As
JIP suggested, with the help of the
CVU's IRC bot, I usually do a concerted stint of vandalism patrol at least every few days, so having the ability to enforce blocks and revert pages more easily would certainly be appreciated, as would the ability to delete speediable pages, rather than tagging them for someone else to follow up on. I don't spend a lot of time on
WP:AFD, but would be willing to assist with backlogs there if need be. I'm open to suggestions, but otherwise I expect I would continue my usual editing patterns.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. While I think vandalism patrol is an important part of maintaining the encyclopedia, I get much more satisfaction from my editing contributions. These tend to be in the area of
international relations (my major in college); current events are fairly well covered by other editors so I try and work on expanding less high-profile (though no less interesting) concepts and topics (for example
power projection or the
Fragrant Concubine).
My current top project is the expansion of
Civilian control of the military, which, while a work in progress, is progressing fairly well and which I hope to one day submit to
WP:FAC. I was initially drawn to Wikipedia after completing a report on the
Uyghurs; some of my sources for my research are currently on their way to me in my new home by mail, so I hope to contribute more articles like
First East Turkestan Republic when they arrive.
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. I think I try to be measured and polite in my interactions with other users, so I'm not aware of any outstanding conflicts. Generally when in doubt, I use the talk page first. I try to avoid the onset of any bunker mentality by pacing myself on vandalism patrol. I enjoy contributing to Wikipedia, and don't find it to be a source of stress.
