[edit] Wikipedialuva

Final (1/8/2); Closed per snowball clause at 11:30, 30 September 2007 (UTC) by Daniel; scheduled to end 23:06, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedialuva (talk · contribs) - I have been with Wikipedia for a long time now and have made many edits under IP addresses that have changed, well over 5,000. I am very supportive and often recommend and help people I know with Wikipedia. Also, I will fight vandalism with all my strength when vandalism is spotted. I can assure you, I will not be a disappointing administrator.

I accept this nomination. – Wikipedialuva

[edit] Discussion

Support

  1. Moral Support suggest withdrawal, edits are valuable, nothing really to base user on though. Dureo 00:17, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Oppose and suggest withdrawal as this has no chance of passing - while your mainspace edits are valued, you have only 50 edits in the last year, and have never participated in any admin-related area (deletion, AIV etc). — iridescent (talk to me!) 23:14, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  2. Oppose Per iridescent. Suggest withdrawal, because this is likely to close quickly. Into The Fray T/C 23:16, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  3. - Me three. Please stay active and involved, though! - Philippe | Talk 23:28, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
    I'll second that! Into The Fray T/C 23:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  4. Per above. M.(er) 23:36, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  5. Oppose I suggest you withdraw from this nomination and try again after a few months. --Siva1979Talk to me 02:44, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  6. Oppose Sorry, but it's hard to support an editor who has very little edits and one who uses doen't use the edit summaries that often. However, I agree with the other editors here: stay active, participate in discussions, and continue to contribute to this project. Regards, nattang 02:59, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  7. Oppose - Please withdraw. You're a valued member, but as has been already said, this RfA will not pass (In the immortal words of Gandalf...) Spawn Man 08:24, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  8. Oppose - no - nowhere near enough experience in any area yet. Please use that edit summary. Lradrama 10:10, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. Neutral to avoid pile on. While this editor may have had 5000 edits as IPs, there are less than 200 edits to go off of. Please remain active, your contributions are valuable. I'd also like to recommend using edit summaries for each edit. Give it a few more months. Keep it up. Useight 00:28, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  2. Neutral also to avoid a pile on. I suggest withdrawal and try again in a few months. The answers to the questions make me think he/she doesn't know exactly what an admin does--Phoenix 15 09:13, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
    Does anyone? — iridescent (talk to me!) 09:18, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
