Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/TobytheTramEngine
Sorry, but I am right on one of my edit summaries. This RfA doesn't appear to be constructive and will have to be deleted. Afraid any of you won't win this one, I can't think of another way right now. TobytheTramEngine 20:24, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
And it will only have at least an hour to stay. TobytheTramEngine 20:27, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Apologies. I was saying that because I was upset. Shall I put this request under construction? TobytheTramEngine 01:39, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Mh, I would advise not to. I commented on your RfA yesterday (although not officialy opened, mainly because you asked for advice here. If you see my comments, they are reasons as to why your RfA has only a small chance of succeeding. I have no doubt of your ability to make a good administrator when those concerns have been addressed, but until that time comes, I would have to oppose your RfA. Hope this helps, Qst 14:45, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Oh. But it's schedule ended on October 12, 2007. TobytheTramEngine 01:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- No, I explained this on WT:RFA. If you create your adminship page then change your mind, or someone offers to nominate you and you decline it, you would create Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/USERNAME 2, replacing the USERNAME with your username. This is another reason why I stronlgy advise against you going for RfA, you clearly do not understand the procccess. Please see Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship and WP:RCA for nominations which have succeeded in the past - which will help you along your way. However, remember that we are not here to gain adminship, we are here to build the encyclopedia. Qst 17:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- So, does that mean I can't do another RFA but making sure I answer the three questions correctly? TobytheTramEngine 18:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- No, are you reading my comments? I have already explained this on WT:RFA to you, and above. Please read it. Qst 19:05, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry. Anyway, shall I read both Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship and WP:RCA slowly? TobytheTramEngine 19:53, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry if I sounded a little snappy above, I didn't mean to :). I would suggest reading the guide to requests for adminship, and some (not advisable to read all of the successful adminship nominations - or you'd be there all night), they will serve as a guideline to what the community expects of potential administrators.

- I see. I read both of them. TobytheTramEngine 20:40, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
