[edit] Admin request

Hi. Welcome to Wiki. It's great that you have the interest and enthusiasm to be an Admin. However, it has never been known for any editor to be made up to an Admin with so little experience. Have a read of this: Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship. It might look better for any future admin requests you may want to make if after been advised to withdraw from this request that you did so in a good natured manner. Sticking it out against advise may reflect badly on you in some people's opinion. Whatever you decide to do, good luck and happy editing! SilkTork 14:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your RFA

i think you mean "too" but i get your point....

I regret to say that I have closed your RfA early as per WP:SNOW. I have included a summary of the opinions cast in my reason for doing so, which was essentially 'get some more experience before trying again'. You have been very brave in putting yourself in the spotlight here after so short a time of editing WP. Most people wait between six-to-twelve months before trying for an RfA and they are not alway successful either. Strategies for improving your profile for another RfA include:

1. contributing effectively to articles. This includes finding references and citations for facts in reliable sources, something that is essential for an encyclopedia.
2. Working on the Good Article Drive, Good Article Collaboration of the week and the Article Creation and Improvement Drive.
3. Patrolling the New pages and Recent changes special pages for vandalism; tagging the pages according to the criteria for speedy deletion and warning the vandals.
4. Reporting repeat vandals for admin intervention.
5. Joining a Wikiproject or finding a portal on a subject in which you are interested and contributing through that.
6. Assisting at the Help and Reference desks.
7. Welcoming new users.
8. Becoming adopted or, when you are more experienced, adopting new users to assist them in learning about Wikipedia.

These are just some of the ideas for making effective contributions to the project. You can also see Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia for more ideas. Regards and good editing, (aeropagitica) 16:13, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
