Nomination
– YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE USER Arumpostasest (talk) 22:25, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:


 * 1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
 * A: I intend to help improve articles and offer my personal knowledge in this regard. I also would like to be more involved in action against vandalism.


 * 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
 * A:


 * I have contributed significantly to the Catholic university School article. Through my own academic research I was involved in this area of investigation. I developed this article by vastly expanding the content; I added correct content nod readily available from internet sources or the school website. I also improved the general layout of the article adding pictures and cleaning up the layout etc.
 * I recently created the article on the McGowan family through researching the Baron McGowan I drew up a family tree and extensively developed this site. Comparing the previous editions of the article show the content value added.


 * I have also contributed to the development of the article on Jacques Andreani in the English and French versions, correcting some edits and improving the layout of the article.
 * I have also uploaded some of my own photographic work to the commons, many of which are in use in several articles.
 * Along with this I have contributed to many other articles and been involved in patrolling new pages and random pages. I have also patrolled for vandalisim and hope to continue with all of these actions.
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A:

I have never been involved in conflicts. If I have found errors or material I am in a position to correct I will do so politely and respectfully. If the other party is confrontational I will remain courteous but if the situation becomes severe I will report the situation.

''Please keep discussion constructive and civil. If you are unfamiliar with the nominee, please thoroughly review their contributions before commenting.''

Oppose

 * 1) Oppose per WP:NOTNOW. Perhaps come back in a year or so with a solid editing history and the community will reassess. I also have some concerns about whether the editor has a clear understanding of the duties and functions sysops and how WP:Original research applies to Wikipedia.  Mkdw talk 22:44, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose agree with Mkdw. Your intended work does not need to require the administrative tools, you could always help in combating vandalism. Also judge articles on content value remember we are here to improve articles and collaborate, not to judge an article base on it's quality or value. ///Euro Car  GT  23:06, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose. this is not a speedy delete. Also, low edit count (~200), including, and , both of which are not cited and might be original research. --gdfusion (talk&#124;contrib) 23:11, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose and suggest snow close before it turns into a pile-on. Plus, having this in your record (and it isn't even 24 hours old) simply isn't promising.  Try again in a year or so.  G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 23:18, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Not now. Thanks for your interest, but admins should have more editing experience. WP:SNOW. Glrx (talk) 23:47, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose - Probably too soon at the moment; I suggest making more edits and gaining more experience before going back to RFA. WP:NOTNOW.  Zappa  24  Mati   23:51, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose This much-too-early request shows a profound lack of understanding of what an administrator needs to know. Get some experience and give it a go next year. ```Buster Seven   Talk  00:06, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 8) Not now, to early. Try back in another year, but I do suggest editing much more. The fact that you are creating content is a good thing. Don't stop. But to be honest, with the time you have been here so far you don't seem to have a lot of actual edits.--Mark Miller (talk) 00:21, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 9) Oppose as too inexperienced, Good luck with RFA's in the future. – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  00:28, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 10) Oppose Too inexperienced. ~ Frosty  ( Talk page )  00:37, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 11) Oppose Too inexperienced. Your article contribs are good but I feel that you aren't ready yet. Good luck in the future though! Once you gain experience, I'd suggest re-submitting an RFA when you're ready, probably in about a year or so. Ste  ven  D99  03:23, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 12) Oppose per all of the above. I hope that User:Arumpostasest will understand that more experience in various areas and a longer period of time with the project is needed and will not be discouraged. I also hope this is enough to bring a close to this RfA per WP:SNOW. Donner60 (talk) 03:28, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) I could also oppose, but do not want to pile on. You are a new editor, and need far more experience here before asking for the administrative tools. Ask questions, learn our policies and guidelines, and edit productively for a year or more. Then reconsider. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  03:22, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) There are enough opposes that  it's quite obvious that  this RfA won't  pass. Admins are expected to have a fairly  good knowledge of policies and guidelines, so  apropos guidelines and advice pages, did you bother to  read WP:RFAADVICE ? --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:08, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
