This page isn't particularly pretty by my standards, but it will suffice until I find myself saddled with hours of free time (as if that could happen anytime soon).
I am not interested in being a Wikipedia administrator for a couple of reasons. First, I do not have, nor will I ever attain, the requisite number of edits. This is probably because my contributions tend to be content rather than admin-type things. That said, I do revert vandalism when it appears on my watchlist, and if need be, ask for admin help. During my most recent RfA (nominated by a new editor), the argument came up that if I used the admin privileges at least once, it would be a net-positive. I disagree. I'd need to use the admin privileges at least enough to make up for the effort of the RfA. A few of my hours were burned over that RfA, and several of other users as well. It's safe to say that some tens of hours were consumed considering that RfA, hours that could have been better spent on content or combating vandalism. Were I to accept a nomination, it would bring about even more scrutiny, consuming hundreds, perhaps thousands of hours for its consideration. I would need to put a considerable burden on the existing administrator league to make it worth everyone's time to make me an admin to offload my own impact, that or change my modus operandi to carry out more admin activities, and that's not likely.
I agree to multi-license my eligible text contributions, unless otherwise stated, under Wikipedia's copyright terms and into the public domain.
