Questions for the candidate

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: Any Administrative work would suit me as I am a good observer and I like to keep things in order and would discuss things before undertaking admin tasks, I would also read the applicable policy's to check if it is necessary to carry out the task.

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

A: My best contributions to wikipedia are those related to TV as I watch alot of it and know quite alot and I am also good at verifying info on this subject.

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 have had some comments on my talk page in the past that I understood and dealt with accordly, as an admin I would read comments thoroughly and do what was asked of me.

Oppose

1. Oppose Edit count too low ... you look like you mean well but there's really no way to see that you've learned what it takes to be a good administrator with so little to look back on. -- Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 18:44, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
2. Sorry, but I don't feel comfortable trusting you with the mop since you were, quite literally, just denied rollback. --Dylan620 (Happy Thanksgiving!) 18:47, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
3. WP:NOTNOW. Nowhere near enough experience to demonstrate a thorough and intricate understanding of Wikipedia policies, which are vast and bureaucratic and complicated, or demonstrate ability to handle disputes / judge consensus / etc. "Any Administrative work would suit me" does not suggest a good understanding of what adminship involves, or that you actually need the tools. It's not a reflection on you personally; just a lack of experience. • Anakin 18:57, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
4. Oppose per above. You seem to mean well, and thank you for the offer. The post really requires editing time, knowing the guidelines and a willingness to be patient. Suggest you withdraw from this process at this time, but please don't be discouraged. If you are a North American, Happy Thanksgiving! (NOTE TO HIGHER AUTHORITY: If this turns into a real pile on, please close asap under WP:SNOW), thanks. Jusdafax 19:08, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
5. Oppose Sorry buddy, not now. Best of luck in the future. A8UDI 19:15, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
