Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/No1lakersfan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I urged this nominee to hold off in April, and develop a track record before submitting to a vote. He has done this. User: No1lakersfan (Willy) and I both live in the Virginia Peninsula sub-region of the Hampton Roads Virginia area. We have worked together on a number of articles involving our area (i.e. history, geography, and biographical topics and land transportation) and we both belong to Wikipedia:WikiProject Virginia as well. Willy is a high school senior who hopes to be accepted to attend one of Virginia's public universities in the fall of 2007. I do not know him personally, but only through WP, but I have formed an impression of the kind of young person who epitomizes what we need more of in WP, specifically young people who are seriously interested in what we are trying to accomplish and willing to work to support it. In the time he has been an editor (since March 2006), I have seen responsible collaboration, good fact and reference gathering, appropriate deleberation and caution, and even-headedness. I believe his track record of good edits speaks to this. He has my trust to join our ranks of Wikipedia:Administrators, and I hope those of fellow Wikipedians.

NOTE: Will the record of earlier nomination which ddin't go to vote and which follows be any problem? Please advise me. Vaoverland 07:50, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

No1lakersfan (talk · contribs) - I am planning on becoming an administrator, because I believe that I posess the abilities to carry out given tasks here on Wikipedia. I have been busy with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Virginia Highways project, working with many articles affiliated with that. I also categorize pages that have no categories, as well as make sure that articles fit the criteria for Wikipedia. Also, I have started several articles that were needed for Newport News, Virginia and the surrounding Hampton Roads, Virginia area. I am good friends with another administrator and believe that I could do what an administrator needs to do.

Thank you for considering my request for adminship. — No1lakersfan (talk • contribs) 02:23, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
