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.

Support, dedicated, makes positive contributions all over the place, would continue to do so as an admin. Insert cliche here, I really thought he was an admin already. --

I heartily endorse this product and/or service. - Howcheng is level-headed and thoughtful, and will make a fine addition to the Janitor Corps. <mutter>I was going to nominate him myself, but Jaranda beat me to it.</mutter> →

Support he voted neutral on my RFA, so the kindergarten side of me was tempted...buuuut he deserves it and admin is no big deal so why vote anything but support for a guy like this. :)

Stinky support. User shows willingness to do behind-the-scenes maintenance work, and therefore should be awarded with the wet, stinky mop. --

Support with the quickness, but he needs to remember too many relistings clog AfD (particularly if the decision is an obvious one).
Prototc 15:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)reply
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!

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.

More support than a house of cards (an oblique reference to this being the 53rd vote).

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.
