RFA
Hi! I just noticed that you have self-nominated for Administrator. Have you read WP:RFAADVICE? To become an admin you must show advanced knowledge of policies, processes, and have extensive experience on the project. For example, most admins require thousands of edits and at least a year of extensive editing history with a proper aptitude. Making a nomination too early in your Wikipedia career can actually hurt future attempts. Being an admin is difficult and serious business - I'm not trying to dissuade your editing of the project, but RFA is one of the embarassing processes that one can go through - if you're not properly positioned, and not properly aware of the requirements, it can be hurtful ES  &#38;L  12:39, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I have closed your Request for Adminship early as unsuccessful - unfortunately it did not have a chance of succeeding. You simply do not yet have enough experience at present. I hope you decide to stick around and get more familiar with how Wikipedia works. WJBscribe (talk) 14:01, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Cheer up mate, I am sure you'll be a sysop one day but till then keep on editing and if you've any problems bug me at my talk. Face-smile.svg  Soham  17:12, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

RfA - tutorial
There is no tutorial  for RfA. Becoming an admin  should never be the one single objective for participating  in Wikipedia; we are all primarily  here to build an encyclopedia. Therefore the experience needed for doing admin  tasks comes from  regular editing  of articles, and then after several  hundred edits, perhaps looking  out  for vandalism  and reverting  it. To do  that, when you  have made at  least  200 edits, you  could consider enrolling  at  the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn all  about  it. To know more about  adminship  and what  is expected, you  may  wish  to  read WP:RFAADVICE - all  of it -  but  you  probably won't  be ready to  become an admin for quite a long  time.

 * Judging from what you wrote on the talk page, you intended the page to be for your own personal use. Wikipedia is not a free web host for people to use for their own purposes, unrelated to work on the encyclopaedia. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:49, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Bold not bolt!
Re this edit : the stuff you pointed out was obvious vandalism. Why did you not simply remove it instead of leaving a message about it? Please reply. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:11, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

It does not matter whether it was vandalism or some newbie's mistake, it needed deletion.
 * Please do not make fun of my username. But you do have a point. But are you sure that it was vandalism instead of some newbie's mistake? I'll look into that. The Lightning Strikes! Try me! 10:11, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

And what on earth is this rubbish? A) you could not even link to the page in question - category:Wikipedia core topics (note the colon trick to refer to a cat rather than using it), b) you have never touched that page and c) Wavelength's edit was OK - the bad one was done by.

We could argue all day about whether the latter is a vandal or not. Clearly they are a clueless newbie because they thought this is a social networking site. Putting their bio in the wrong place: you call it cluelessness - I calls it vandalism. (I hesitate to say that it is debatable whether your message to Wavelength is cluelessness or trolling.) &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:26, 18 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I have a little something to say about your points. A) I noticed that. I tried to fix it, but I must have forgot to save the page. B) Uh, yeah. I knew that. But that's what the template said, so what could I do? C) Not really. Wavelength actually improved it. I'm starting to think that maybe they are sock puppets. Uh, the edit he made is on a totally different page. We're talking about Category:Wikipedia core topics. He made both, actually, but WHY was it signed with Wavelength's sig? P.S.
