::'''A:''' I can only think of one instance of an editing conflict that I had in the past, and it was so long ago that I'm not even sure if I should mention it, although I will. The dispute occurred at [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Slon02&oldid=405128079#Boyar_.28caste.29], where I disagreed over an "article claim" with another editor during a GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive. I dealt with it by stating my views and, after I had run out of new points, asked for a third opinion. If I had to deal with that situation now, I would have instead asked the drive coordinator for clarification of the drive rules.
 
;Additional question from [[User:Sven Manguard|<font color="207004"><big>'''<big>S</big>ven <big>M</big>anguard'''</font>]] [[User talk:Sven Manguard|<small><font color="FCD116">'''Wha?'''</font></small>]]
:'''4.''' Just under <span class="plainlinks">[http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/autoedits/index.php?user=Slon02&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia&begin=&end= 2/3rds of all of your edits are automated]</span>, predominately using Huggle. Since the community does not have a unified position on high automated edit percentages, I would like to hear your take on the matter. Why should such a high percentage of automated edits not be of concern in regards to this nomination?
::'''A:''' I was expecting that this issue would be brought up, and I'm aware that there is quite a number of people who will be opposed to this RfA because of my high percentage of automated edits. However, my answer to this has two parts. The first is that, although there is a high percentage of automated edits, clearly not all of my work has been automated. Some examples of my non-automated work is seen in the articles that I have created, and also the ones I have copyedited, which I listed as among my best contributions to Wikipedia. However, I also have to say that I don't think that a high percentage of automated edits should be a cause for concern in this nomination, because of my answer to the first question. I intend to participate in areas (AIV, CSD, RfPP) that almost entirely use automated tools. I'd actually be tempted to say that having a high percentage of automated edits indicates a focus on those areas already, which is good, since I plan on focusing on those areas if I become an admin.

#:Yes, I read his answer to my question just about as soon as it was posted. It was ''exceptionally poor'' and that is giving me pause. I can personally think of a dozen good arguments that could be put forth as a response to my question, and am sure that there are others I have not thought of. He didn't hit a single one. If, as he said, he was expecting that the issue of automated edits be brought up, I would have expected that he already have a good answer formulated in his head as well. Looking at this user's talk page, it's clear that he has the ability to explain things coherently, as he does when dealing with people from AfC. However while touching on a basic point or two, his answer to my question lacked that clarity, coherence, and depth of knowledge that he has shown elsewhere. Looking over his work, he's comfortable in his element (AfC), and he does good work in his element. He dosen't seem comfortable outside of those areas though, and adminship is a hell of a learning curve. Leaning weak oppose.
