Nomination
(talk page) '''Final (0/3/0); Ended 05:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

– Inferno is obviously a very trustworthy user, and looking at the massive amount of vandalism reversions coming from him/her, I feel that he/she can be trusted with the tools. Chukonu xbow Talk Contribs 05:03, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept this nomination, and I have reviewed the policies concerning administrative tools. Inferno,   Lord of   Penguins  05:16, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

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: Likely WP:RPP and blocking vandals with a final warning during the course of my vandalism reverting


 * 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
 * A: My vandalism reverts. Though I don't add to articles much, I have found a hobby in reverting vandalism.


 * 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: A minor edit war, the problematic user (who I feel was acting in good faith) was blocked for 24 hours for violating 3RR, after I had discussed the policies they were breaching, and they refused to cease. I am not sure I was clear enough in stating what part of the policy they were breaching, so in the future I will try and be clearer.

Oppose

 * 1) Oppose - sorry. You are off to an extremely good start, but a month or so of editing isn't enough to get a solid grounding in site policy and community norms. Please come back in 5 months. // roux    05:32, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose and "moral support" per WP:NOTNOW, although I usually recommend a year not 6 months. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  05:34, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose and moral support as above you are on the right track and see you have made over 1200 edits in less than a month and you have several good contributions but it is only WP:NOTNOW.Please try again later.Sorry but wish you good luck for the future.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 05:41, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
