Re your request for adminship: I'm sure you're a great guy, but you have to have been a Wikipedia contributor for at least several months (three to six) before candidacy for adminship will have a chance. If you write some good articles, do some good vandal fighting, participate in the discussions at WP:AFD and the like, you can come back in the summer or fall and run again. Better yet, wait for somone else to be so impressed with you that they nominate you for adminship. (Self-noms are allowed, but do raise some people's eyebrows.) —Angr 13:46, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Trust me, there's no way you will get consensus in an RFA (request for adminship) until you have been here several months, have at least 1000 edits (preferably more--I had over 7000 when I became an admin) spread across articles, article talk space, user talk space, and project (Wikipedia:) space (e.g. at WP:AFD). People want to see you actively engaged in both article writing and policy-related discussion before they'll support a bid. If you want to help out with images that violate policy, what you can do as a regular non-admin editor is tag the images for deletion, and help explain to angry and confused uploaders why their images violate policy. —Angr 14:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I removed all your requests, those pages were protected to prevent banned editors from editing. You're exhibiting quite peculiar behaviour for a new user. It'll make people suspect things... one false step and you'll find yourself blocked. --Deskana (talk) 22:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
