Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
A: Aiding the Wikipedia community as they see fit, not what I want to do.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: Creations of articles, becauase that's how Wiki grows.
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 haven't really been in one, but if someone disagrees with me, I will ask the world on the talk page.

Discussion[edit]

  • I've left Kinderboy a note about the likelihood of failure here. If anyone has anything else constructive to add, please feel free to add on to what I said, Metros (talk) 15:02, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I didn't see that until now; that is good advice and would counsel Kinderboy to follow it up. Caulde 15:04, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support[edit]
  1. Moral support, please continue to edit Wikipedia and build up your experience in administrative areas, as well as building content, and reapply in half a year or so if you so feel the need. Remember, adminship is no big deal and just because this RfA will fail does not mean that future one's will. Kind regards. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 15:10, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Moral support. Candidate clearly wants to help the encyclopedia. Per WP:NOTNOW this will most likely fail, but good luck in the future! iMatthew (talk) 15:40, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose[edit]
  1. Oppose - half of your 54 edits are to your userpage. Unsubstantial answers to questions. Caulde 15:00, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose and very strongly suggest withdrawing, as you've no chance of passing at the moment. That's not a criticism of you – it's just that we've nothing on which to judge you. – iridescent 15:01, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose Agree with Iridescent, you haven't really started yet. Get some more experience, and maybe try again some time when you've done a bit more. -- how do you turn this on 15:05, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Oppose per above, and suggest withdrawing. Also, please remove the barnstar that you awarded to yourself[1] from your user and talk pages. Barnstars are supposed to be awarded to one user by a different user, but not self-awarded, see WP:BARNSTAR. Nsk92 (talk) 15:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose per lack of activity. Keep at it though! weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 15:38, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Oppose for lack of experience. Less than 10 days as registered user, less than 60 edits, over 50% edits are to own user page, less than 10% to Main space. Kindly suggest withdrawal. — ERcheck (talk) 15:47, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Oppose Less than 60 edits, and most to userpage? No, sorry. America69 (talk) 15:52, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also, please remove that Barnstar you gave yourself. They are suppose to come from other users. Thanks! America69 (talk) 15:54, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral[edit]
  1. Neutral Recommend candidate withdrawal, or closure per WP:NOTNOW. Townlake (talk) 15:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
