RelentlessRouge (talk · contribs) – YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE USER RelentlessRouge 18:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:" I do accept my nomination here, RelentlessRouge, May 31,2006 2:40 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Support

  1. Certainly, Today 02:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
    Above user created account one minute before voting. Yanksox 02:56, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Oppose - malformed RfA request, and slightly too new (account created April 06) - from what I can see admin tools are not terribly needed, you can still close clear keep AfD's without being an admin -- Tawker 23:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
  2. Strong oppose in addition to being a very new user with an edit count thats rather less than I like to make a decision on, it seems that the edits are highly grouped and minor edits. Very little to no talk page or project space interaction. Need more familiarity with Wikipedia policy. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 00:02, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  3. Oppose—the last thing we need is another rouge admin. <pulls tongue from cheek /> Seriously, at this early point in your Wikareer, I have virtually nothing by which I can gauge how well you know policy, how well you interact with other users, or even if you have a general idea of how to wield the mop. Give it several more months of active participation in all aspects of the project and come back then. RadioKirk talk to me 00:06, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  4. Oppose Too new and no clear need for the tools (mentions AfD but has only voted once). Judging by the large amount of very small edits to the same article, needs to use the show preview button more. TigerShark 00:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  5. Oppose To new. ForestH2
  6. Oppose change from neutral - fails every bit of my criteria except for mainspace edits. Far, far too new; I do not think a neutral brings out the fact that this user has no need for the tools, and it cannot be told if user will abuse tools if appointed. NSLE (T+C) at 01:15 UTC (2006-06-01)
  7. Oppose per above. Naconkantari 01:17, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  8. OpposeCertainly enough edits, just too few edit summaries, too new, and just not ready. I will be glad to vote for you with some more experience and even more edits. The Gerg 01:20, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  9. Oppose per all and TEKE. Dosen't meet my guidelines for support. :) Dlohcierekim 01:50, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  10. Oppose Malformed RfA, for starters... Master of Puppets FREE BIRD! 01:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  11. Strong Oppose, too new, try again later, even the RFA is not done in a proper manner. --Terence Ong 02:37, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  12. Oppose Not enough talk edits, so very little confirmation of ability to solve disputes/make consensus with others, also falls short of total edits NorseOdin 03:45, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  13. Oppose Malformed RfA. --digital_me(t/c) 03:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  14. Weak Oppose Try again after 3 months and in the meantime, do not give up hope. --Siva1979Talk to me 04:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Neutral
#Likely WP:SNOW, do not want to make it worse. However, opposers are very correct in what they've said. NSLE (T+C) at 00:03 UTC (2006-06-01)

  1. Neutral - per NSLE's mention of snowballing, and the user's answers to the questions. RelentlessRouge, you don't have to be an administrator to do any of the editing you do. Just keep up the good work you're doing now :) I highly recommend withdrawing your nomination and spend some time learning all the policy and Wikipedia related tasks. Teke 00:09, 1 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 would gladly assist in AfD (articles for deletion) and also assisting in pages that need cleanup.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I am pleased with assembling a list of Star Wars vessels, have been adding several battles in the Star Wars universe, and have added new classes of warships and specific vessels. I also contribute in biology and microbiology articles from time to time. You can see a list on my userpage on the articles I have edited and produced. I also attempt to standardize Star Wars vessel pages by adding integers that represent a ship's weapon capabilities and defensive capabilities. They are taken from the West End Games Star Wars Roleplaying Guide book.
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've had a few times to date that I've made a few pages that have been filed in quick AfD, and were promptly deleted in about half a millisecond. Others have labeled my pages as unclear. I have dealt with all these civilly, but am not angry with them, because I do notice that if I can understand it, that is a minor contribution to Wikipedia. If others can understand it, then I have made a majorr contribution. Promptly after their comments, I tried to make my articles easier for the general public to understand.

Question from Yanksox (optional)

4. Why do you think you should be an admin? Yanksox 01:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
A:

Question from DarthVader (optional)

5. You say that you would help out with AfD. Have you participated in this process and understood how it works?
