No worries
Hi StarryNight. Well done for being bold in nominating yourself to become an admin. Such boldness is important on Wikipedia. The nomination has, however, been closed because, even though technically you meet the requirements to nominate yourself, the community would not accept as an admin someone without greater experience and knowledge of Wikipedia. No worries, a number of admins (including myself) did not succeed on their first nomination. What you need to do now is gather more experience and knowledge. And before nominating yourself again, ask others for advice. Some guidance and links to further advice is available at Guide to requests for adminship - it's worth reading that page carefully several times, and to keep referring to it as you start to develop the experience and knowledge that the community are looking for in an admin. In the meantime, take this Minor Barnstar for having the courage to step up to the plate in order to offer to help out on Wikipedia:

Closing your RfA request
Hi StarryNightSky11,

I closed your self-nomination because it had no chances to pass. I hope it did not cause you too much stress – but trust me, it would have been more stressful if you were to read 20 editors saying essentially the same (see here for a similar recent RfA).

If you intend to self-nominate again, please carefully read the red bold notice at WP:RFA/SN and ask yourself (or potentially a fellow editor you trust) whether you will be able to demonstrate. I suggest you proceed to self-nomination only if you can confidently answer Yes to all of the above.

As a guidance, it's exceedingly rare that an editor who has made less than 10,000 edits and did not actively participate in many of the technical processes would have sufficient community trust to be offered admin tools. I hope you can work towards that goal, though.

Cheers, — kashmīrī  TALK  14:44, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi StarryNightSky11. After reviewing your request, I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AStarryNightSky11 enabled] rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 01:23, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.
