Oppose

  1. STRONG oppose. No description whatsoever, plus multiple failed attempts at adding his nomination to RFA. Question need for tools, as he has only really been editing for hte last 4 days, and at least, form his contribs, 80% of his edits have been to own user page. Definitely not admin material [yet]. NSLE (T+C) at 01:06 UTC (2006-06-04)
    To add on to th above, I'm concerned that candidate may have copyrighted song lyrics on his userpage, can someone confirm their copyright status? NSLE (T+C) at 01:14 UTC (2006-06-04)
    User has admitted it is a copyright, but has, as of this message, refused not yet to removed them. NSLE (T+C) at 01:22 UTC (2006-06-04)
    User has removed the lyrics, and it is no longer a concern of mine. However, a (would-be) admin should know better. NSLE (T+C) at 01:26 UTC (2006-06-04)
    Now SUPER STRONG OPPOSE - user has taken an incivil tone with me, and even warned me for vandalism for removing his comments off my page, which I've already reserved the right to do so. I have blocked the user 1 hour. NSLE (T+C) at 01:34 UTC (2006-06-04)
  2. Oppose - no rationale for requesting no description, user doesn't have nearly the necessary experience, sorry -- Tawker 01:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  3. Strong Oppose per above. Come back in October or November after several good months of contributing. I must say though that your user page looks spectacular. joturner 01:11, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  4. Strong oppose. Sorry, but there are multiple problems with this candidate: Malformed Rfa, less than 500 total edits, and a quick perusal of the talk page suggests that the user is unfamiliar with policy and may be looking for adminship specifically to administer blocks. That's not what being an admin is about. Needs months more. RadioKirk talk to me 01:11, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
    In addition, this user joined 16 January 2006, made one edit, then disappeared until 31 May 2006; most edits since have been to the candidate's own user page. RadioKirk talk to me 01:31, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  5. Oppose. Candidate had trouble adding themselves to WP:RfA. Cadidate says they are pleased with their work on Hamden Hall Country Day School but the only edits I can see are putting a protection tag on and reverting a valid edit. Talks of helping "with any and all sysop chores", but to be honest, seems to have absolutely no idea what that entails, since the candidate clearly thinks he can protect pages by putting {{vprotected}} at the top of them. Sorry, but it's a giant no. --Lord Deskana Dark Lord of the Sith 01:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  6. Oppose. might support after a while, after a year maybe. i just can't see why you want to be admin immediately, this early. -- Saluyot 01:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  7. Strong Oppose per all above. Edits are way too few and the answer to #1 doesn't really explain the need for admin tools. G.He 01:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  8. Strong Oppose, per above. Too few edits, no description, no perceivable need for tools. RandyWang (raves/rants) 01:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  9. Strong Oppose I suggest you withdraw your nomination and concentrate on making quality edits. If you continue to contribute to Wikiprdia for at least 6 months, I might reconsider. But not now. --Siva1979Talk to me 01:47, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  10. Oppose- No way. Sorry. Reyk YO! 01:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: I am very good with technology, web design, HTML code, etc., so I would help with any and all sysop chores that could come up. Anything that needs to be done (even if no one else wants to do it) I will do gladly.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I am most proud of my work on Hamden Hall Country Day School. I am proud of it because of several reasons. One, I really wrote a lot of it from scratch, designed the info box, and formatted it. I was actually 'appointed' by the technology coordinator at my school to look over the article, so I am very happy with the results.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A: I was in one minor conflict some time back over the Bruegger's article. I wrote that article and others started to edit it, I was a little frustrated, but in the end, things worked out. In that situation, a little stress came up, and I overreacted a bit, but I have learned through Wikipedia experience and general life experience how to deal with these things. I just relax and do what I feel is right. On Wikipedia, I will identify the issue, and work to resolve it in a way that's fair to both parties.
