Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Candidates/Queen of Hearts

Not to be confused with King of Hearts (no relation), who is already an admin!

Nomination

Queen of Hearts (talk · contribs · she/her) – Hello, I'm Charlotte, known here as Queen of Hearts. I joined in March 2022 as ClydeFranklin and started off as a vandal fighter. I later shifted towards closing XfDs, which is mainly what I do nowadays. I have had several people encouraging me to run for the last few months, including receiving an "admin without tools" award in February. I have three alternative accounts: Diverging Diamond (formerly had pending changes reviewer rights, which I resigned for lack of need), an AWB account, and a doppelgänger of my old username. I have never edited for pay. Charlotte (Queen of Hearts • talk) 00:58, 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 would mainly use the mop at the "lesser" XfDs – categories, redirects, and some miscellany – the former two of which are often backlogged. I would also process non-admin requests at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working, which is currently under control, but only has a handful of admins.

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

A: I am admittedly not as big on "content" as some others – I believe "gnomes" and other people who don't write can make a similar impact to Wikipedia as those who do, even if their work is less visible. That said, I have done some content, including three good articles – Richard Worley (police officer), Murders of Keona Holley and Justin Johnson, and Michael S. Harrison – and nine "Did you know?"s, but I am arguably more proud of my backend work, including closing over 2,000 XfDs and around 500 merge proposals according to edit summary searches, although the latter is harder to measure. I also helped found WikiProject AI Cleanup, which garnered me a mention in the press.

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: I generally try (and think I'm pretty good at) avoiding high-stress areas and situations, but disagreement is inevitable. When someone indicates disagreement, I try to take a step back and politely and rationally explain my view.
