[edit] Oppose
  1. Oppose Thanks for the offer, but I would encourage you to spend a little more time getting to know us and the processes here. Maybe come back in a few months. JodyB Roll, Tide, Roll 12:58, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
  2. Oppose at this stage, not cos you've done anything wrong but just because you don't have enough experience for me to judge how good you are. As Jody says, come back in a couple of months with a bit more experience under your belt; you might want to get some experience discussing Articles for Deletion as well. — iridescent 13:13, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
  3. Oppose, you may have to elaborate on your answer to question 1, as sporting work isn't admin work (though it's always good to continue article writing when you become an admin), so I don't know what you would use the tools for. Wizardman 13:49, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
  4. Strong oppose Answers to questions were not good enough, and it tells me that this user is not yet ready to be an admin. Try again in few months with much better answers and I will support you. NHRHS2010 talk 13:57, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
  5. Oppose per NHRHS2010. Honestly, the answers to the questions were quite poor. As an administrator, you're entrusted with significant tools, and in order to earn that trust, you need to demonstrate your understanding of Wikipedia's policies and how they would affect and guide you in your role as an administrator. Try again in a few months. Good luck  Folic_Acid | talk  14:59, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
