- I have many good edits here on Wikipedia. I have also been subject to some vandals. I will work to stop the vandals before they mess up Wikipedia. DvDknight 13:50, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Support
 * 1) Moral Support Please don't vandalize, and try hard not to make mistakes, like your poor-form nomination of cylonhunter. I hope to support your adminship in six months and 2000 edits. PouponOnToast 14:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Oppose Neutral
 * 1) Oppose Sorry, a lot more experience is needed in all areas. Please read Guide to requests for adminship. I strongly recommend self-withdrawal.-- Hús  ö  nd  14:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose Answers not satisfactory, less than 2 months and only a couple of hundred edits, sorry. As per Husond suggest you withdraw. Khu  kri  14:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Strong oppose. Editor has less than 200 edits in all; has been editing less than two months; hasn't taken questions above in any serious way, given the brevity of answers; and was blocked for vandalism on March 5th, for 24 hours.  I suggest that someone invoke WP:SNOW, perhaps after a couple more "oppose" votes, to close this down; it's just wasting people's time to read and respond to this.  -- John Broughton  (♫♫) 14:21, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) History of vandalism says it all. Especially when it's involved my page. Oh, and this: Requests for adminship/cylonhunter (which should soon be a redlink - created, edited, "accepted" and questions "answered" all by DvDknight) – Chacor 14:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Oppose Answers to the questions are totally irrelevant! --  FayssalF  - Wiki me up ®  14:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose - Statement and answers do not show enough confidence and substance. TML 14:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose Your answers — they're incongruous. Plus, you'll need way more time and experience. I suggest withdrawal or the oppose votes will rack up. - An as  talk? 15:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose, and urge withdrawal. The main RfA page says that candidates should have gained the community's trust and show knowledge of policy, and at this time, your current record doesn't show evidence of either. Having been blocked in the recent past virtually guarantees that your RfA will fail. I urge you to gain experience on Wikipedia, make a large number of good edits (many people will prefer edit counts in the thousands), and avoid vandalising in the future. Your answers to the questions above suggest that you aren't aware of what admins are expected to know or do, so please also read and familiarise yourself with the guide to requests for adminship, the administrator's reading list, and the admin's how-to guide if you want to become an admin in the future. Sorry. -- Kyok o  15:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
