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: I will help fight vandalism on Wikipedia


 * 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
 * A: I have already helped rid a lot of the local pages of slander and untrue statements.


 * 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, as a resident of Mulvane KS, I know whats happening in the community and many of my contributions have been deleted. I hope that having admin status will put an end to my posts being questioned by other users.

 * 1) WP:NOTNOW  Nerdy Science Dude :)  (✉ click to talk • my edits • sign) 00:14, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) WP:NOTNOW Some time to get a feel for the site would be in order. With less than 20 edits, it is impossible to evaluate your understanding of the policies and how you would inact them as an administrator. Please follow some current and previous RFA's to see what things the community looks for in a potential administrator candidate. Kindly Calmer   Waters  00:22, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I can only see three edits made outside this RFA. That's not enough experience to judge capability for admin status. Further, the motivation to become an admin ("put and end to my posts being questioned") is unsound: being an admin does not confer elevated status in the community. An admin's edits are to be subject to the same scrutiny as (and in practice will be subject to more scrutiny than) any other editor's. --Mkativerata (talk) 00:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) WP:NOTNOW - Zero quality contributions so far (all three edits besides this page and test request have been reverted), seems like this request was only to "prove" that he is a good editor. Try editor review for that, and welcome to Wikipedia.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  00:29, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) WP:NOTNOW - I don't think you have enough experience to be an administrator yet. It is nice to know that people are ready to take the jobs. I would recommend looking at the contributions of current administrators. --AJ00200 (talk) 00:32, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
