General comments

''Please keep discussion constructive and civil. If you are unfamiliar with the nominee, please thoroughly review Special:Contributions/USERNAME before commenting.''

Oppose

 * 1) Oppose. Sorry, but with less than 500 edits (of which barely 400 are in mainspace), this nomination is premature. I really think that you have nowhere near enough experience of wikipedia to be entrusted with admin tools, and your proposed participation in deletion discussions does not require admin tools: anyone knowledgeable can offer their input without having admin powers. Please don't take this as a criticism of your contribution to wikipedia, which I hope will continue, but your contributions log shows that you have participated in only 4 AfD discussions, the most recent being over a year ago. I suggest that before seeking an admin role there, you should participate in many more AfDs, perhaps a few hundred of them, and demonstrate a good working knowledge of the nuances of the various overlapping policies and guidelines. Good luck! --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:04, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Neutral


I have an indepth knowledge of Celtic issues, Irish nationalism, Country and Irish music, local politics in the Irish midlands, county Offaly, County Longford, Vrsac in Serbia, Kosice in Slovakia, Roma people, Romani Music among other issues.

I specialise in creating stubs, hoping for others to expand on the topics in question (which often gets deletions, questions for same, some due and others not due)

I contribute regualrily, at least once a week.

My vision for Wikipedia is a global encylopedia that covers local issues, such as histories, people, etc. So if someone in Alabama needs to know about a gene suc as Romany rap music, they can find about the history of the development of the genre, the current status of it, and its main players. While that may not be everyones cup of tea, it would be an important source for the topic due to its uniqueness, and good for the chroniclement of their culture. This is just an example, as its an area rarely and very badly covered.

Other areas of intrest are the Irish Civil War, elections and election trends and candidates in the local elections, issues in same, etc.

I feel I can bring a knowledgeable opinion on item edits and contributions, as a problem I find is someone who knows little of the reas jump in and delete just as they are not familiar with the item in question.
