[edit] Discussion

Support

  1. Moral Support - not really enough experience. Q3 also concerns me (an "edit conflict" is a completely different thing from a "conflict over editing"). I would advise withdrawing this RfA and returning in 3-4 months after gaining more experience. Walton (alternate account) 09:39, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  2. Support the effort Seems to be on the right track, just get some more experience and come back sometime in the future. GDonato (talk) 14:15, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Oppose Sorry, you seem to have good intentions, but your lack of editing is my main concern. Get involved some more, try back in the future, and I would probably be more inclined to support. Jmlk17 07:42, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  2. 522 edits is extremely low for an administrator candidate. Hasn't demontrated sufficient dedication, experience and capability to/on Wikipedia for me to even consider supporting. Suggest immediate withdrawal, with a note to consider editor review if you want feedback on your progress so far. Daniel 07:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  3. Oppose more reasons than one. Get a few more edits, and get a bit more experience. Sorry. Dfrg.msc 08:12, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  4. Oppose not that I have "editcountitis", but your edit count at this moment is sort of low for an admin candidate. You'll need more experience to earn the trust of the community, and just about all your current edit count in the Wikipedia-space. Finally, we always like to see some editing in admin candidates. Good luck! —Anas talk? 09:32, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  5. Oppose I'm afraid a bit more work is needed. We do appreciate your willingness to serve and I look forward to seeing another RfA soon. JodyB talk 11:51, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  6. Oppose, needs more experience and low edit count. Not for now, sorry. Terence 14:38, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. Neutral I have a good feeling about Lwarf and I don't believe he would abuse the tools but I think he needs a little more experience before we give him the mop. Pascal.Tesson 06:39, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  2. Neutral You're doing well and you've made a good start here but it's probably a bit too soon to go for adminship at the moment. Keep up the good work though and try again when you have bit more experience here. Will (aka Wimt) 09:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  3. Neutral I dont want to pile on with oppose votes but I think your edit count is just a little too low for an admin candidate, I would like to suggest some improvements if I may:
    • Using an edit summary a bit more
    • Getting your edit count up a little including to them main articlespace
    • Getting involved in maintenance and more article work as well as fighting vandalism
    • Get some contributions to WP:XFD and get involved in reporting vandals to WP:AIV.
    You could definitely be an admin in the future if you make some improvements, I'd be happy to nominate you in a few months if you take it slowly and get more involved in the Wikipedia community. Kindest Regards - — The Sunshine Man (a.k.a Tellyaddict) 12:03, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  4. Neutral per The Sunshine Man. you seem to be a good editor, but it isn't clear that you have at present enough experience to become an administrator. The Sunshine Man has beat me to making the helpful suggestions, though. :) Nihiltres(t.c.s) 14:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
