Final (0/8/2) ended 06:21, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

– Caldorwards4 has made over 4,500 edits since joining Wikipedia in October, 2005 where he has expanded the SpongeBob SquarePants pages, such as the list of episodes and characters. He also has expanded Nick cartoon pages. He reverts vandalisim on the sight and since he has been a user so long, he should become an admin. ForestH2


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Withdrawing --Caldorwards4 04:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Support

Oppose
 * 1) Oppose, do not see a real need for admin tools. Answers to questions not sufficient to judge if support is warranted. NSL E (T+C) at 04:40 UTC (2006-06-05)
 * 2) With all possible respect, no way. User shows no obvious knowledge of policy; has no significant history of communication with other users that I can find; edit summary use is almost nil; and, while the user was blocked and unblocked the same day (31 May 2006, yet!) after an investigation, it was clear there were issues that still needed to be addressed. Meantime, the answers to the questions below are far, far less than convincing. I hope this candidate will broaden the horizons, so to speak, and consider acceptance several months down the road.

 * 3) Oppose. Malformed RfA (no ending date), answers to questions are quite sub-par, and you can stop vandalism with GML and AIV. User also apparently has very little interaction with other users and very few projectspace edits. Focusing on articles is commendable, but I don't see why you need adminship. Email is also not activated. --Rory096 04:43, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose, a solid editor in the article namespace, but with only 2% of edits in User talk pages, showing little interaction with other uses, and even less in article talk pages, demonstration small iteration with other users regarding articles. Does not justify tools; if given there is a chance he would use them to determine an article direction per Radio Kirk. I would suggest following Kelly Martin advice and interacting more with users (through user and article talk pages). Also, needs more Wikipedia namespace edits. -- ReyBrujo 04:56, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) Oppose I am bothered by the answers to those questions.-- digital_m  e ( t / c ) 04:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose Sorry, but I'll have to oppose, largely per RadioKirk. I'll support in the future when these issues have been addressed. Master of Puppets FREE BIRD!  05:05, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose per above. Voice -of- All Talk 05:15, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose per RadioKirk -- Tawker 05:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Neutral Comments
 * 1) Neutral. Small amount of wikipedia namespace edits, indicating a lack of knowledge of wikipedia policies. Please continue as a valuable contributor to wikipedia, and perhaps learn more about wikipedia policies and processes. DarthVad e r 05:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Neutral to avoid pile-on. Your answers to the generic questions below in very unsatisfactory & shows that you lack of knowledge of Wikipedia policies & are inexperienced. Try contributing more to Wikipedia namespace &, as RadioKirk says above, broaden your horizons & I will be happy to support in some time. Also I suggest that you withdraw this RFA ASAP. --Srik e it ( talk ¦  ✉  )  05:24, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
