Potential admin
Hi, I notice you're on List of administrator hopefuls. Wikipedia would benefit from more admins. If you have been editing for more than 12 months (preferably 24+ months), and have been editing fairly consistently for the past 6 months (preferably 12+ months) with at least 100 edits a month (this tool will help) - or an explanation for any gaps, and haven't been blocked in the past three years - or a good explanation for a recent block, don't have a recent history of edit warring or arguing with other editors, feel you can explain why you wish to be an admin, can demonstrate some understanding of Wikipedia's procedures and processes, or know where to go for guidance, and are confident enough to go through a RfA, please get in touch with me. We can talk about it some more, and if all looks OK, I'll nominate you.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  09:22, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I just looked at your contributions. You have just joined Wikipedia. Welcome to the project. Clearly it is too early for you to be considered an admin - if in 12 months time you still wish to become an admin, and you meet the above criteria, please get in touch and we can chat further.

 * Bigteddy, as you can see I have changed the block template. Having conferred with another CU familiar with this case and had a look myself, it does look like your account was compromised and not a sock. Unfortuanately that’s as far as I can go. Compromised accounts are pretty much never unblocked. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:35, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
