Madviolinist
Final (0/4/0); Ended 07:12, 20 April 2008 (UTC) - closed by -- Anonymous Dissident  Talk as WP:SNOWed. -- Anonymous Dissident  Talk 07:12, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

- Hello, I am Madviolinist. I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time under another username, but due to some drama issues, I have chosen to run under a different alias. On my previous account,(which name I would not like to mention) I have taken part in multiple Wikiprojects, one mainly Military History. I have taken part in WP:CSD and WP:AFD, and I was equipped with WP:VandalProof and WP:AWB. While I realize that this RFA has little or no chance of passing, all that I am asking is that you would not take the drama from my previous account into account in this RFA.

I am not either 1 or 2.

Oppose

 * 1) Strong Oppose Very, very little experience. I suggest running on the account you actually contributed more to. I suggest withdrawing this RFA or else this will be snowballed.-- RyRy5 ( talk ) 06:06, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose, hasn't edited for four months then applies for adminship, sorry, I suggest withdrawing this, very little experience (for this account), can you prove that you have another account and that that one has experience? Because we're voting on this account, and to just say "I had another account with more experience" just isn't enough I'm afraid. The DominatorTalkEdits 06:12, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) (e.c.) Oppose. Apart from you not revealing your old accounts, which is a show-stopper already, you have a total of 28 edits as this account. This is way below par. If you don't want to be associated with the "drama" of your old accounts, you also can't take the credit for their experience. Moreover, a brief glance at your contributions indicates that you do not yet seem to have the experience required for the job. The article you created, Sextilia, is unsourced and your only AfD contibution is poorly argued. I recommend withdrawal. Sandstein (talk) 06:16, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Strong oppose it seems likely that you are a sockpuppet account of User:Redmarkviolinist despite your claim that you are not. The fact that you are attempting to use this sock account to hide you previous problems on another account is clearly abusive. If you really are redmarkviolinist, then your use of a sockpuppet to attempt to subvert the RfA process is a blockable offense. I suggest you tell us who your other accounts are and immediately withdraw this RfA. Gwernol 06:49, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
