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 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 intend to help in as many was as I possibly can. They mainly include, but are not limited to, reverting vandalism, expanding stubs, and wikifying pages.

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

A: To be honest, I wouldn't call it proud, but it was definitely a feeling of

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: I have not, but I'd imagine I'd deal with them like I deal with life. I take it a step at a time and try to maintain a positive, neutral attitude and a cool head.

Support

1. Moral SupportAh what the heck this RFA is going to fail but I admire your enthusiasm, this will be good down the road. Consider becoming active in the Project mainspace also. Withdrawal Recommended. — Seadog_MS 03:57, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Oppose #Oppose per Q1. I do admire your willingness and overall good attitude however. — Seadog_MS 03:42, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Also you have been largely inactive, just looking through your contributions in one window I can see Early May. — Seadog_MS 03:52, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

1. Super Strong Oppose. You have 300 edits... --Wizardman 03:44, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
2. Oppose. No need for admin tools from Q1, very few edits (usually passing RfA candidates have >3000.) Not much to go by. Grandmasterka 03:54, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
3. Oppose per answers to the questions. You haven't show any indication that you need the extra abilities admins have. You've not been with Wikipedia long enough to get a good feel of the place. You should withdraw now a give yourself more time and become more familiar and you'll get there. --John Lake 04:17, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
4. Strong Oppose I appreciate your ethusiasm and your want to handle disputes in a calm manner but your answers need way more elaboration. Also, you have only around 269 mainspace edits and a total of 331, which seems like an exceedingly little amount. I'm not one to overvalue high edit counts but I would expect at least 1,000 mainspace edits to make your qualifications look a little more solid. I recommend that you withdraw this request for now and as long as you keep a good track record try once more in the future.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 04:23, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
5. Strong oppose Shows no need for admin tools. Very weak answers. Only five edits between late June and last week. Less than a dozen talk edits and less than a dozen usertalk edits. -- Kicking222 04:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
