Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Candidates/Leonidlednev

Nomination

Leonidlednev (talk · contribs · he/him) – Hello, I am Leonidlednev. I have created this account in 2017, becoming active in 2021. I mostly fight vandalism across WMF projects and do minor edits to fix typos/dead links on pages. I have been granted Global Rollbacker in November last year to help with cleaning up cross-wiki vandalism. So far, I have not had anyone ask me to write an article about themselves, nor was I ever paid for my edits to any WMF project. This is my only account so far, but I may create bot accounts for maintenance later. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 03:04, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

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

1. Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?

A: I am interested in becoming an administrator to help with the occasional backlogs on AIV and UAA, close XfDs that have overwhelming consensus to delete, and delete pages that clearly fall under G3 or G11.

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

A: I feel that my best contributions are the edits I did while fighting vandalism on pages that were vandalized, as they make up the majority of my edits.

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: In the past, I have repeatedly reverted a vandal's edits while they weren't blocked, resulting in a messed up page history. I now know that it is better to wait for the vandal to get blocked first, before reverting their edits.
