[edit] Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: Reverting edits, taking care of vandals, and making Wikipedia a nicer place.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: I thnik that would be my user page. Well everything is all ready complete on the page I'm going to edit. I have edited other things like WWE RAW 2 page and Family Guy pages.
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: Yes they have. Now I'll just give them a warning template. But I use to talk it out with them.

[edit] Support
[edit] Oppose
  1. You're still a relative newbie; you've made several mistakes this very month, and that's fine, but you're not going to be granted admin status for a while. Keepscases (talk) 14:35, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  2. Oppose [1] which happended the other day, although I appreciate you removed it after I asked you to. And regarding Q3 - errr... no. You should try and talk it out before templating users if possible, not the other way round. You might find adoption by an experienced user is a good idea.

  3. Oppose - You've only been here two months. In that time, you've made just over 200 edits, half of those to your user page (which contains many typos). You have only 30 edits in the Main namespace, and need more experience before becoming an admin. --EncycloPetey (talk) 14:51, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  4. Oppose and suggest withdrawal - You're just getting started as a Wikipedia editor. Your obvious enthusiasm is heartening, but you should be focusing on finding ways to get involved with the project at this point, not adminship. --jonny-mt(t)(c)I'm on editor review! 15:00, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  5. Oppose. I can't fault you for seeking the position so soon, but the reality is that the community generally prefers admins to have a significantly higher level of experience over a longer period of time. This lets you not only learn about the project and how it works, but also permits you to demonstrate that knowledge. Have a look at some recent successful requests, and see what you can do to improve before your next request. Good luck, ZZ Claims ~ Evidence 15:13, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  6. Oppose and suggest withdrawal Enthusiasm appreciated, but you need a lot more experience. Also, honest and sincere discussion is usually preferred to the laying on of templates. See User:Dlohcierekim/standards for a rough idea of what I look for in supporting an RfA nom. I too have a real problem with typo's. I use a spellchecker (from Mozilla tool bar, but there are others) to lower the number of typo's. Participation in project discussions will show others how you think and how you handle conflict. Vandalism reverters generally have thousands of edits removing vandalism, warning vandals, (templates are good for that) and reporting to WP:AIV. Hope that helps.
