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 participants:

1. What sysop chores do 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 will welcome new users, and answer their questions about editing; I will patrol wikipedian pages and check to make sure they don't meet the criteria fro any deletions; I would also love to create articles that haven't been listed.

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

A: I am pleased with my User Page Because I created it the first day I became a wikipedian. I did pretty well for the first day. I haven't editied it since. I am also pleased with my contributions to User Talk Pages. I love them.

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: No, actually. All my friends are very nice and gentle such as Kubigula, who was the first to welcome me to wikipedia, and I have never broken contact with him. I plan to remind people that it is not nice to be rude to people if it ever happens though.

Discussion

Support

1. Moral Support Please withdraw this nomination before the snow storm hits. Gnangarra 03:04, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Your answer to Question 1 shows no need for the tools. You don't need to be an admin to do all those things. And you're too new and probably don't know Wiki policy inside-out. I see no need for you to be an admin. – Chacor 02:46, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
2. Oppose you've been here 5 days and have made no edits to articles. --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 02:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
3. Oppose: You seem to have been an editor for about five days, not a month (your first edit was on 27 January), and all your edits seem to pertain either to your userpage or several images you uploaded. You should try back in about... six months or so. .V. _[Talk|Email] 02:59, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
4. Oppose: No edit summary when listing this RfA. -- Heligoland 03:21, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Neutral

1. Please withdraw...this will be painful. You just don't have enough experience after one month of editing. Sarah 02:50, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
2. Neutral: I suggest withdrawal. You mean well, but you need some more time and experience before becoming a sysop. S.D. ¿п? § 03:13, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
