Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Bharatpedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

A: Deleting non-sensical pages, blocking bad-faith users (last resort) and other works as required

2. What are your best contributions to Bharatpedia, and why?

A: Thanks to the admins, I was able to contribute to many reforms via help desk and Village pump such as case sensitive page name issues, Internet archive bot and such. But credit goes to them who heard my voice.

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?

A: Some bad-faith users cause me stress like Dr. Aviraj and Dr. Editor. I report them to the admins.

1. Too soon for adminship. The account is not even a month old, with only 274 edits in the main namespace since registration. There are also concerns regarding incorrect speedy deletion tagging, such as this, where the user tagged a draft with G11 despite it not being exclusively promotional or clearly meeting the criterion that it would need to be fundamentally rewritten to serve as an encyclopaedia article. This raises concerns about their understanding and application of the speedy deletion criteria. More importantly, an administrator must be polite, patient, and helpful towards all users, including those unfamiliar with the policies and guidelines. Referring to Dr. Aviraj and Dr. Editor as "bad-faith users" who cause them stress, as stated in the nomination, raises concerns about their ability to handle disputes impartially and constructively. That said, the candidate is doing good work in creating new pages, fighting vandalism, and helping with cleanup, and I appreciate their efforts. I would encourage them to continue contributing in these areas, focus on tasks they are more experienced in, and gain a better understanding of policies through experience. Waiting at least six months before renominating would give them sufficient time to build their experience, demonstrate sound judgement, and develop the patience and impartiality expected of an administrator.
