Your second RFA is likely to fail; please consider withdrawing it
Most RFAs that follow a failed RFA by less than 3 months tend to fail automatically with many editors saying "too soon after last unsuccessful RFA".

Moreover, you really should take the advice above. Few RFAs succeed with less than 3 months experience and 1500+ edits. Really 3-6 months experience and 2000-3000 edits is much more likely to succeed. Check out Requests for adminship/Statistics for more info.

Moreover, you need to do some studying to learn more about how things work here at Wikipedia and what people look for in an admin. Try reading Guide to requests for adminship.

Also, consider getting some "Admin coaching". See Admin coaching for more info.

Good luck. Feel free to ask me any questions that you have at my talk page.

 * I echo what Richard said above. Moreover, while I am not an admin, I am an experienced editor who occasionally adopts newcomers.  If you'd like, I'd be prepared to show you the ropes of Wikipedia for a while; I think it's probably too early for you to even take Admin coaching, let alone apply for adminship.  In any event, let me know. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 07:55, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

 * You may be right about how much experience, but don't judge this on a previous rejection, just please do not. Footballfan190 (talk) 07:58, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I haven't judged your RFA one way or another, at least not officially. You will note that I haven't expressed an opinion on your RFA page.  I am just suggesting to you that RFAs like this almost never succeed and you are wasting everybody's time.  If your last RFA was closed early because it was unlikely to succeed, what makes you think that your second RFA is any more likely to succeed?  Can you name one thing that has changed significantly since your last RFA other than the fact that it is now 2008 and your last RFA was in 2007?

Hi Footballfan190, I'm sorry to inform you that I've closed your request for adminship early because it was unlikely to succeed. For users to be granted admin status, they have to show that they are trusted members of the community. Individual editors each have their own standards for adminship candidates, but here are a few tips that may help you pass the next time round:
 * Wait a bit longer before your next request. Many Wikipedians think that the length of time that users should be active on the project to get a firm grasp of all the policies and guidelines is roughly 3 months.
 * Try to make some more edits. Administrators need to show they have a thorough understanding of policy, so it would be a good idea for you to contribute in wikipedia space, article space and talk space to show you can communicate with others.

You may wish to take a look at the admin coaching program, which would allow you to have your own coach who could personally direct you along the right path, or consider an editor review, allowing other users to comment on your edits and give you ways to improve. The guide to requests for adminship provides further considerations to make before applying again. Let me thank you for your contributions so far, and if you follow the above advice, there is no reason why you can not have a successful RfA in the future.  Daniel  10:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Requests for protection
Please stop repeatedly requesting protection of the same pages. Articles such as George W. Bush are not going to be fully protected due to vandalism, unless there is such extreme levels of vandalism, we cannot seperate the diffs. Articles are very, very rarely fully protected due to vandalism. The same concept applies to articles such as Nintendo Gamecube and John Boehner. If your request is declined, please do not resubmit it the next day. - auburn pilot   talk  01:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
