Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
 * 1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
 * A: Helping combat Vandalism and helping new users finding their way around Wikipedia.


 * 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
 * A: I cannot say. I believe all my main contributions have been on the whole of good informative value to the WP community.


 * 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 performed a couple of acts of Vandalism and have learned why i shouldn't have done this and now actively patrol for Vandalism.


 * Additional optional question from The-Giant-Andrew

 * A: Yes for editing the article Lenny Henry after a joke made by him about Wikipedia's inherent knack for containing incorrect information. CrossHouses (talk) 01:51, 29 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Additional optional question from Giants  27  ( Contribs  |  WP:CFL )
 * 5. Please explain why you made this edit.

Discussion

 * RfA reopened per request of candidate.  Triplestop  x3  02:28, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Edit stats copied to the talk page. 7  02:46, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Oppose.Just over 500 edits. Maybe later.  Sluggo  &#124;  Talk  23:36, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Vandalizing holocaust denial two days before submitting an RfA makes it pretty unlikely to pass. Looie496 (talk) 23:38, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Strong Oppose Your block for Vandalism was only just over two months ago, I like to see much longer gaps between blocks and RFAs. Also this is not the sort of edit I would expect from someone who might one day become an admin.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  23:41, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose WP:NOTNOW, You don't have enough experience to understand policies and implement them.  GB fan  talk 23:42, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) Recent vandalism = no. Regards, --— Cyclonenim | Chat 23:49, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose per vandalism and the tasteless Holocaust denial thing. Crafty (talk) 02:31, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose, for the recent vandalism, lack of experience, and lack of pretty much any substantial statement of purpose above. It's not for me to judge who's tasteless, but vandalism is vandalism. Equazcion   (talk)  02:41, 29 Oct 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose based on lack of visible experience with policies and recent vandalism. 7  02:48, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 9) Strong oppose. I especially find the answer to Question Five disturbing. Why would we possibly want to give you additional powers and responsibilities if that is your explanation for the edit you made just four days ago?? Singularity42 (talk) 03:38, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
