Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
 * 1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
 * A: I intend to first work on what I am most familiar with. I intend to work on AIV and the backlogs. To see if a user that was reported needs a block I would check the users contributions. Next I would see if the user/ip has received a final warning (most often a fourth.) Then I will block. If the user had been blocked before for example 24 hours I may block them 31. If they have bad vandalism or frequent vandalism I would block them longer or indef/infinite. Another place of interest is CAT:CSD. On this category I would clear the backlogs (delete pages that require deletion) and if they don't I would remove the template and inform the user/ip that placed the tag of me doing so. If it is questionable I would put the page up for AFD/PROD. I plan to familiarize myself with WP:PUI and work on what is needed and use my tools as needed on WP:ANI.
 * 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
 * A: Of all my contribution to Wikipedia I enjoy my reversions, my work on CAT:CSD, WP:AIV. WP:UAA WP:MFD WP:AFD and the various XFDs.


 * 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: There was one with Hatewatcher where I started a WP:SSP report. I calmly told the user my reasoning for the SSP and asked him to wait it out. After all all people are innocent until proven guilty!

Support
 * 1) Support Shows great promise, I think adminship would greatly benifit the encyclopedia Partylikeahatunicorn 22:52, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) * — Partylikeahatunicorn (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * 3) Support Good edits made in the past, fair and balenced, i dont think more expierience is necessary Lalaitshannah 22:54, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

 * You've supported twice. - Lemon flash talk  23:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) Oppose - WHile you show potential, your time here has been too short. You also have less than 700 total edits with a total of 43 mainspace edits. ALso, your most edited wikispace page is the sandbox with 54 edits. While edit counts cannot be used to determine a users level of experience, a curosry glance at those edits can. While the underworkings of this project are important, it is important to remeber our ultimate goal, build encylopedic knowledge. Keep up at your current pace for 3 or 4 more months and you will be ready. If you need nay help or have any questions feel free to shoot me a line.

 * 2) Oppose — You lack edits where it actually matters. Matthew 21:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose - barely a month has gone by since you created an account. Wait a couple more months, familiarize yourself with more of the encyclopedia, and we'll decide. Lord Sesshomaru 21:33, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose – sorry, but you've simply not been here long enough for "trust factor" essential in all Administrators to have developed. In addition, I'm a little concerned that you've lost sight of the goal of Wikipedia: to develop an encyclopedia - after all, you only have forty or so edits in the mainspace. Finally, I'd like to see some participation in Deletion Debates (e.g., AfD, MfD, etc...), as deletion is an essential part of an Administrator's work. For now, however, I can't support your nomination. Anthøny  21:42, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Oppose. Sorry, it doesn't appear that you've written much. Please contribute content and then come back with a new RfA. Majoreditor 22:04, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose Not enough experience in the main spaces in order to be confident that you would use the admin tools well. Try demonstrating your knowledge of the policies and guidelines by participating in XfD discussions; working on new page/ recent change patrols; associated vandal warnings and reporting to WP:AIV or other appropriate forum; assisting at the Help Desk for new users, etc.  Doing some, one or all of these or many other admin-related tasks will boost your experience and make the next RfA a highly-probable success.  I would withdraw this application at this time and start to work on some of the above.  Regards, (aeropagitica) 22:53, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose Not enough experience, and just 630 edits. - Lemon flash talk  23:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) Moral Neutral You are well on your way, but you just need more experience all around. Give it two months and possibly get yourself an admin coach and you will do much better on your next RfA. Trusilver 22:33, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
