and yes i accept my nominationCrawfordknights 03:23, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I am going to be bold and close this RfA, as it won't be so much of a snowstorm as a hailstorm. Twenty-three edits in total is very far away from the minimum number of edits required for admin candidacy, which currently runs between 1500-3000 edits across the main Wikipedia spaces. Try again in six months when you have built up edits in the article/Talk, project and user Talk spaces. You should then have enough experience to handle the admin tools and quite a few scenarios in which admins can find themselves. You can also get an editor review to receive some contructive criticism and you can opt for admin coaching for more directed education. (aeropagitica) 09:01, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

  1. No need for tools. It's likely this will become a pile-on, so I'd advise you withdraw and spend some time editing and learning the ins-and-outs of the site and site policy. Get an editor review, too, before your next request. Oppose. – Chacor 03:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  2. Oppose While we appreciate your eagerness, your edit count and amount of experience is simply too low for a detailed analysis of your contributions. I may support after you have had a few months here and have acquainted yourself with Wikipedia processes. As for now, I urge withdrawal. Best of luck, 210physicq (c) 03:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  3. Less than 50 edits isn't really enough to assess your candidacy, let alone show you have enough experience here. Besides that, admin tools aren't required for vandal-fighting. It's pretty impressive that you've already found AIV. If you want coaching, I'd be happy to help you.--Kchase T 05:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  4. Oppose You have not enough history for us to be able assess your ability to be a sysop. At this time you have no need for extra tools. Give yourself at least three more months to become more familiar with Wikipedia process and policies. I too urge you to withdraw.--Dakota 05:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  5. No. I wish I could moral support, but no. Withdraw and try again in about 6 months. -Amarkov blahedits 05:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  6. Oppose - Inexperienced. -- Selmo (talk) 05:30, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
