Oppose

 * 1) According to Soxred's tool, you have a grand total of 261 edits to the article space. Your most edited article is List of characters in SpongeBob SquarePants, with 7 edits, and your next-most is a tie between SpongeBob SquarePants (season 5) and Characters of Crash Bandicoot with five edits each. While adminship should not be an award for prolific content creators, some experience with content creation is necessary in order to resolve content disputes.  I simply cannot see such evidence.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  09:02, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Per said above and directly below. Abce2 | Aww nuts!  Wribbit!(Sign here)  09:04, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) You have insufficent experience as shown by your edit count, and the answers to the questions are far to sparse for me. WP:NOTNOW. M&spades;ssing   Ace  09:51, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Please try again later .As per WP:NOTNOWGood Luck  Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 10:06, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) Not enough experience. (WP:SNOW?) Fre  h  ley  10:15, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) Needs more and varied experience (WP:NOTNOW). Shinerunner (talk) 11:18, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose This is too recent, and your answer to q1 is too broad - I'd hope to specific examples of where you would use the tools and relevant experience in those areas.  Ϣere  Spiel  Chequers  11:24, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) Thank you for submitting your RFA. While I applaud enthusiasm, I'm afraid you do not yet possess sufficient knowledge and experience for the community to have confidence in your readiness to become an admin. But that does not mean that we will never have confidence in you.
 * Generally, It has been my experience that it takes at least 3,000 edits in a variety of areas to learn policy and guidelines well enough to attempt adminship. Nominees need to show the ability to contribute a number of significant edits to build the encyclopedia.
 * The Admin tools allow the user to block and unblock other editors, delete and undelete pages and protect and unprotect pages. Nominees will therefore do well to gain experience and familiarity with such areas as WP:AIV, WP:AFD, WP:CSD, Protection policy, and WP:BLOCK to learn when to do these things.
 * Adminship inevitably leads one to 1) need to explain clearly the reasons for one's decisions, 2) need to review one's decisions and change one's mind when it is reasonable to do so, 3) need to review one's decisions and stand firm when it is reasonable to do so, 4) need to negotiate a compromise. Admins need a familiarity with dispute resolution. The ability to communicate clearly is essential.
 * Article building is the raison d'être of Wikipedia. I recommend significant participation in WP:GA or WP:FA as the surest way to gain article building experience.
 * My suggestion would be to withdraw and try again in another 3 months and 3000 edits. Many nominees have found it helpful to obtain an Editor Review or to receive Admin coaching before submitting their RfA and after passing that benchmark. Hope this helps. Good luck and happy editing.  iMatthew   talk  at 11:31, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) per ϢereSpielChequers.  See the advice and links that iMatthew gives, and continue to work on learning policies and guidelines.  The tools that admins have are not usually given out until an editor has demonstrated their abilities over a longer period of time.  Usually a minimum of 6-8 months and 4,000 - 6.000 edits.  Please continue to contribute, and stop back when you have a little bit more experience.  — Ched :  ?  13:10, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Per answer to Q3, if you've had no stress you haven't been around long enough.-- Giants27 ( c  |  s ) 13:13, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
