Andreasegde
Ended 13:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

– I believe Andreasegde possesses the desire and work ethic to be a great admin here. Said editor is always open to new ideas and how to improve Wiki articles. Even when he feels he is being attacked unfairly, he manages to keep his cool and not engage in un-civil behavior. I've had my ups and downs with this user but the downs are usually short-lived because I always feel he is being honest, whether right or wrong. I think he deserves the title of admin.

 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I withdraw :) andreasegde 10:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I also thought I wasn´t ready, but I was very pleased to be nominated. Not signing my own acceptance must rank as one of the biggest blunders of all time...) Have fun. andreasegde 10:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Final tally: (0/13/5)


 * Support


 * Oppose
 * 1) Oppose Most often, candidates will have very detailed answers to the questions above. They have a nice edit count in almost all the needed fields of Wiki editing, etc. You have quite a bit to go. Admin tools are dangerous in the wrong hands. Plus, admins are held under a microscope if you know what I mean. You really want to stay out of trouble. I have been here a while, and it will be a while before I can even consider such a responsibility. Keep working hard. Also watch other’s WP:RfA’s to learn what to expect.

 * 2) Oppose, didn't even sign their acceptance. --Rory096 00:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm sorry, Andreasegde, but you've shown no need for administrative (administratorial?) tools. You have a small amount of wp space edits, and no wp talk edits, which suggests you have little knowledge of policy.  From my review of your contributions, you seem primarily an article writer and contributor, not an admin candidate; one is not necessarily the other. I'd recommend withdrawing, spending some time becoming more familiar with Wikipedia policy, crafting some more specific, detailed answers to the questions above, and returning after a while.

 * 4) Oppose didn't even sign acceptance and no specifics gives. Michael 02:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) Oppose, didn't sign acceptance, lack of edits. --Ter e nce Ong (T 02:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I assume you mean lack of project space edits; he does, after all, have substantial amount in total. Picaroon9288•talk 02:55, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose, didn't sign acceptance. Majority of edits are to talk page for Talk:Kennedy assassination theories, or other pages regarding the assassination of John F. Kennedy.  Need to contribute more.  Stubbleboy 03:06, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose per all above. Please try again after you have been familiar with policies. In the meantime do not be discouraged by this. -- S iva1979 Talk to me  04:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose per all of the above. I see way too many similar article names in your contribs, and you've only been around for four months. Try again in half a year, maybe three months in the least, and try to edit more than seven articles. Ryūlóng 04:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose - sorry, not yet. Great contributor, but not admin material.  I would suggest withdrawing before an admin WP:SNOWBALL's it.  -Zapptastic (talk) 06:10, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) Oppose, didn't sign acceptance, not specific answers. Needs for time and edyts -- Legolost EVIL, EVIL! 06:38, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 6) – Chacor 08:18, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose. A good editor who needs some more experience (in terms of time, editing a wider range of articles, and editing in the Wikipedia space) before adminship can be seriously considered. Zaxem 09:21, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose Your answers aren't the most compelling and you didn't sign your own nomination. Dinosaur puppy 09:58, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Neutral
 * 1) Suggest withdrawal -- Samir  धर्म 05:26, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Suggest withdrawal per Samir - editor needs much more time learning about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, working more with other editors, and taking on greater roles - answers to questions are too short, as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kungming2 (talk • contribs)
 * 3) Neutral Answers to questions don't reveal any need for admin tools. 4177 edits is a good number, but an average of 19.890 edits-per-page reveals a very narrow range of interests.  Only 392 user Talk edits, too. An admin really has to talk to other editors as a major part of their job. As part of fixing/reverting vandalism, edits to article pages should show a good spread of interests and contributions.  I suggest an editor review to allow you to understand the areas in which you can improve in order to stand a better chance of becoming an admin at your next RfA.  Until then, I suggest that either yourself or a bureaucrat withdraws this nomination.  (aeropa gitica)  08:23, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) Neutral I like Andreasegde, he's a good and well-meaning editor and a popular member of WP:BEATLES. However, he's not ready for adminship and doesn't need the tools at the moment. If he really wants to be an admin he needs to get much more involved in project space (and reduce his narrow editing focus) and come back in a few months. --kingboyk 09:22, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) Neutral suggesting withdrawal. Hello32020 13:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
