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 Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.

A:I would be happy to do plenty of editing on any articles that I happen to read, and delete anything that I find is inappropriate.

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A:I wrote an article about the character, "The Littlest Elf", from the film, "Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events". I am proud of this article because it never was a stub--it was a long, informational article as soon as it ws created.

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:Admitedly, some of the articles I created were deleted, for different reasons. But I am a patient and cooperative member, and I respect the opinions of others. I just want what's best for Wikipedia.

Oppose

1. Strong Oppose - Extremley weak answers, You dont just delete what you find inapproropriate you follow the correct proccess (CSD, AFD etc), less then 50 edits, and to new, wouldnt have a need for admin tools yet, only Wkipedia space edits are his RFA and a VillagePump. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 14:58, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
2. Per Matthew. – Chacor 15:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
3. Sorry, but this nomination is premature. Your contribution list is way too thin. Administrator candidates will need more experience than that. Sjakkalle (Check!) 15:05, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
4. Oppose sorry, but as noted above, with only 50 edits there isn't enough evidence for anyone to judge that you'd be a good admin. Nothing you mention in your answer to question 1 requires admin tools, and there is no indication you even know what those tools are. Please get a lot more experience with Wikipedia, then come back and try again. I'd usually look for at least 2500 edits over several months, and some involvement with recent changes patrolling since that gives a good indication of your ability to handle admin-like tasks and situations. Also note that you've posted the lyrics to the song in your The Littlest Elf article. These are likely copyrighted, and should not be on a Wikipedia article; copyright is an important area for an admin to know about. Good luck, Gwernol 15:19, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
5. Strong Oppose. This RfA is far too early - take a look at the kid of standards most users prefer here. I am opposing because of lack of edits and very weak answers. --Alex ^(talk) 15:21, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
6. Oppose per all above. Answers indicate as yet insufficeint understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines to be an admin.Dlohcierekim 15:23, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
7. Oppose, too early, and lacks of edits. Terence Ong _{(T | C)} 15:26, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
