Discussion[edit]

Support

  1. Moral support. You're a good editor, but you're just a little too new for adminship, with no edits in project namespace besides this RFA. Try to gain some more experience before applying again. Read Wikipedia:Welcome, contribute to some articles, get familiar with our policies, patrol the recent changes, participate in some deletion debates. Good luck!

Oppose

  1. Oppose and suggest withdrawal; while editcounting is A Bad Thing, you have less than 100 edits, none of which are substantial, and you don't give any indication in your answers to the questions as to why you want sysop powers — iridescent (talk to me!) 18:22, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose Your answers don't give an indication that you understand which tasks are administrator tasks or why you want to perform them. Recent change patrolling can be done by non-admins. Leebo T/C 18:38, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    On another note, it looks like you suggested a merge between Larsen Syndrome and Larsen syndrome, but you did not create either of those pages. Can you explain what you meant by saying you created it? Leebo T/C 18:46, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, that was my bad memory. I requested that article be created. That's where I was getting mixed up. Doyley 12:07, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose I hate to be an editcounter but I am sorry 100 edits is just too low. -Icewedge 19:14, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Oppose, sorry. Your edits so far aren't bad, but you just aren't experienced enough. As a rough guide, most of the people who come here have at least 2000 edits. Hut 8.5 19:45, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose with Moral Support Do not think that your contributions are not valued, but this RfA will not pass. Continue your good work and enjoy exploring all that Wikipedia has to offer. You will find in your own time when you need to access the buttons o further your work, but the time is not now. I would sugest a withdrawal at this time. Very Best. Pedro |  Chat  19:47, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Oppose Suggest withdrawal and obtain more experience. I don't see any contribs deleted or otherwise to any part of the deletion process. Out of your four edits to Wikipedia three are to your RFA and less than thirty-five edits to the mainspace. You are not ready to have admin tools. Get more experience and try again in several months.--Sandahl 19:51, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral

  1. I am not familiar with you, and your edits do not show me firmly in either direction your suitability for the tools. --Haemo 20:00, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
