JonMoore is a dedicated editor with 1583 edits since June 19, 2003. Most of his edits in the past few months are related to Salt Lake City, Utah, where Jon has been a driving force for improving the article. He's created several important related articles such as 2002 Winter Olympic bid scandal. Jon strives to use existing standards and WikiProjects, which is evident in his work on Salt Lake City and KSL-TV. Before focusing on Salt Lake City, JonMoore started and contributed to several articles which have grown considerably, such as FoxTrot. To my knowledge, this user has never been in an edit war, but he often uses talk pages to preempt potential disagreements. In the interests of full disclosure, this user has very few edits in the Wikipedia namespace, but given the extent he's familiar with WikiProjects and policies, I feel he's an excellent member of the community.

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)

A. The ability to quickly revert vandalized pages has always been a desire of mine. I have done it before, but, of course by sheer brute force of copy/paste. Vandalism saddens me, and the ability to fix it would be wonderful. Also deleting patent nonsense would be helpful, too. Also I would like to help with any problems that need arbitration or mediation

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A. I am definately proud of my page 2002 Winter Olympic bid scandal (as mentioned above) as well as Sugar House and Downtown Salt Lake City. The scandal article was something I was surprised to find had only been written about in passing. It was also used as a "DYK" article a few days ago. The Sugar House and Downtown articles help flesh out the Salt Lake article and add to the volume of knowledge otherwise unknown outside of locally.

3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and will deal with it in the future?

A. The greatest conflict I've been involved with was on the Salt Lake City, Utah page, when someone un-wikilinked various neighborhoods in Salt Lake City. At the time, there were only one or two neighborhood articles and I felt that dewikifying would not encourage these articles to be written. I went on to write and edit some of these, and now there are only two neighborhoods left unwritten about. I feel that conflicts should not degrade into flame wars. If you believe something should be a certain way, prove it. Actions speak louder than words. I felt we needed the neighborhood articles, so I did not just revert, but made sure to back it up with the needed articles.
