Invisible Robot Fish[edit]

Final (1/10/1) ended 0:14, September 12 (UTC)

Invisible Robot Fish (talk · contribs) – I've been good here and I've been here for pretty long and I would be a great administrator. I always try to improve wikipedia.  — Invisible Robot Fish! 20:37, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:
Support
  1. Moral support because I don't want this to go down that you got no votes at all and drive you away from Wikipedia altogether, but urge withdrawal or speedy closure. There are basic requirements to be an administrator, and as discussed in the Oppose comments below, you don't meet any of them, at least not yet and probably not for awhile. People who are made administrators have made hundreds or thousands of edits to the encyclopedia, have participated in the activities that are important for administrators, and have interacted with other people on Wikipedia. You haven't really done a lot of those things yet. In fact, there are only 15 edits to the actual encyclopedia. I'm sorry but there is no way you are going to become an administrator right now. Fortunately, you don't need administrator tools to edit more articles on topics you know about. I hope you will withdraw your nomination and do some good editing for awhile instead.

Oppose
  1. Oppose. Less that 500 total edits and extremely weak answers to questions. sorry. alphaChimp(talk) 21:37, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose few edits and short answers to questions. As above basically. Sorry. --Alex (talk here) 21:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    You also have not accepted your nomination, and this RFA is malformed (there is no tally and the date is wrong). --Alex (talk here) 21:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose Malformed RfA, less than 100 user Talk edits, less than 500 edits in total, answers to questions below. Better to go for an editor review at this stage and work on weak areas identified there. (aeropagitica) 22:28, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Oppose per aeropagitica You need thousands more edits and thorough knowledge of Wikipedia polices and guidelines as well as positive interactions with the community. Please try again once you have done this. :) Dlohcierekim 22:32, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose per Alex9891 and aeropagitica. Michael 22:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Oppose per above. Naconkantari 22:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Oppose Less than 500 edits. — Moe Epsilon 22:50 September 11 '06
  8. Oppose less than 500 edits. Over half of them are on user pages. Very few article created or been edited by this user --Ageo020 22:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Strong Oppose - malformed, questions provide no indication of knowledge of what admin tasks are. It's not a status symbol :) - suggest WP:SNOW -- Tawker 23:32, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  10. Oppose Your answer to q. 3 is highly disturbing. You should never use your admin abilities in an edit war or other dispute that you yourself are involved in. Also your answer to q. 2 is very unconvincing. T REXspeak 00:10, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral
  1. Neutral, doesn't seem like they'll do anything very harmful, but I believe the uses needs a lot more experience before becoming an admin.--Andeh 22:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: I would create new articles, delete vandal pages and block vandals.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: Yes. I gave better descriptions about things on articles.
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 how will you deal with it in the future?
A:No. The way I would deal with it is to try and settle it. The second thing would be to warn them a few times and the final thing would be to block them for a few days.
