[edit] General Eisenhower

Closed (2/22/0) 18:00, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

My name is General Eisenhower. I got my name from Dwight D. Eisenhower. I have over 100 things in my watchlist, 25 messages in my talk page, and made friends with one of Jimbo Wales friends. I've uploaded 2 images, stopped 2 vandals, and have joined many projects creating some in the process. I am a recent changes patroller in the Counter-Vandalism Unit. I have just reached 525 contributions. I know a lot of other adminships. I will try to get Wikipedia into an age of prosperity if I'm elected to adminship. I speak Spanish fluently. I love to help out new users. I give out awards to users. I gave out 4 awards to my friend Condem, including a Golden Wiki. I also proposed the Eisenhower official award. I got a good sense of humor, too.

If you have any questions, fire away.

Support

  1. Strong support. --Rory096(block) 01:24, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  2. I Like Ike We need more admins with 100 things in their watchlists. Sorry, that was snarky... I'm going to assume good faith and advise candidate to pay attention to the comments below, not take it personally, and come back here in a few months if they still want to be an admin. --W.marsh 01:37, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Please get acquainted with Wikipedia first; I strongly urge you to withdraw (remove the transclusion of this page from WP:RfA) now. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 01:19, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  2. Second withdrawal. Failed to even sign name, I don't believe you know Wikipedia well enough yet for me to trust you with the tools. NSLE (T+C) at 01:20 UTC (2006-04-16)
  3. Oppose Sorry but you don't have even 500 edits and you don't seem to understand Wikipedia policy considering you made a article that consisted of only fair use images. Try again in a few months. Jedi6-(need help?) 01:22, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  4. No. Just, no. Rob Church (talk) 01:23, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  5. Strong Oppose I too don't think you're ready for adminship yet - you need to show, through a lot of good, dedicated, useful work on Wikipedia, that you are ready to use the admin tools. Unfortunately, I don't think this is the case yet. Keep editing, and try again in a few months. ConDemTalk 01:24, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  6. Didn't even sign your name after your self nom. Seems to me you are too inexperienced, try again in a few months though. VegaDark 01:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  7. Oppose. No moral support here, sorry. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 01:30, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  8. I don't even think being a five-star general can save this adminship request. Sorry, dude. Mike H. That's hot 01:34, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  9. Oppose - you blanked a page only two months ago, when you were still experimenting. Nothing wrong with innocent experimentation - someone can just revert your edits. You don't need admin status. Please keep editing. - Richardcavell 01:38, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  10. Strong Oppose - It isn't anything personal, but frankly, you're not at that stage of your "WikiLife" yet. I really recommend consideration of withdrawal, as you still don't meet the requirements for administrator status (edit number, you didn't answer the preset questions, and your time on Wikipedia). Sorry. _-M o P-_ 01:58, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  11. Strong Oppose I oppose. --GeorgeMoneyTalk  Contribs 02:07, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  12. Oppose per Flcelloguy. Naconkantari e|t||c|m 02:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  13. Oppose. I don't have very high standards for admins, however you should make about 1,500 edits and get more experience in WP procedures before you put yourself up for RfA. DarthVader 02:26, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  14. Oppose, try again in future. Lacks experience. --Terence Ong 02:47, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  15. Oppose need more experience. Pete.Hurd 04:00, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  16. Oppose. General Eisenhower, I can see that you have the heart for the job. Keep up the good work, and I will be willing to support your RfA in the future. (^'-')^ Covington 04:40, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  17. Oppose at this time. Get some more experience and try again in few months. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 05:06, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  18. Oppose, increase your edits by a factor of ten and request a username change. — Apr. 16, '06 [05:08] <freakofnurxture|talk>
  19. Oppose No!!! Heh, not quite ready ;) Highway Rainbow Sneakers 08:00, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  20. Oppose per above. Masssiveego 08:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  21. Oppose: low edit count and relatively new user. Also, learn how to use edit summaries in your edits. That said, keep up the good work. x42bn6 Talk 09:42, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  22. Strong oppose, per above, Shyam (T/C) 09:47, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  23. Oppose Might be a good candidate someday, but nowhere near ready right now. Please read WP:GRFA and build up more Wikipedia experience in general before trying again. You might also look into Esperanza admin coaching (WP:ESP/AC) for the next try. Phr 09:58, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  24. Strong oppose too new. Computerjoe's talk 10:02, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
