I became an administrator on 6 June 2007 ({{Age in years, months, weeks and days |year=2007|month=06|day=06}} ago) following a successful request for adminship (see here). For a full log of my administrative actions, see the following links:

Requests for adminship

=Criteria=

While I do not adhere to a precise formula, I consider the following factors when deciding to support or oppose a candidate:

Competence – The candidate must:
* Demonstrate a firm grasp of and respect for the five pillars.
* Communicate clearly, including articulating his or her reasoning thoroughly during discussions.
* Have created or significantly developed multiple non-stub articles that are well-written, structured, and suitably referenced.
Temperament – The candidate must:
* Be civil toward others, but not a doormat.
* Display receptiveness to constructive feedback as well as tolerance of opposing views and criticism (i.e., not be a snowflake or a false martyr).
* Be transparent about his or her activities on Wikipedia, except in the case of a clean start, and provide accurate and considered responses to reasonable RfA questions.A "reasonable question" is one that is related to the candidate's activities on Wikipedia and their opinions on Wikipedia-related issues.
* Take a logical and ordered, not capricious, approach to editing without veering into overregulation.
* Not be high-maintenance, obnoxious, or a jerk.
* Not be a fanatic or support murderous ideologies that degrade or devalue the individual or family (e.g., communism, fascism, intersectionalism, racism, sexism).
Experience – The candidate must:
* Have experience with processes that require the attention of administrators, such as blocking, deletion, page protection, and dispute resolution.
