That said, allow me to welcome your useraccount to Wikipedia (you indicate on your request for adminship that you've edited before). I thought I'd let you know a few things. Firstly, to perform the things you described, one does not need to be an administrator. Adding content only requires an internet connection, and the same for removal. In fact, if you are especially interested in catching new acts of vandalism, you can go on a recent changes patrol. If you find bad editors, you can report them to the vandalism noticeboard, or one of the other administrator's noticeboards if such is more appropriate. If you would like to look for brand new pages to help out on, you can look at the most recent creations. If instead you'd like to help get rid of new "bad" articles, you can brush up on our deletion policy, and apply speedy deletion, proposed deletion, and deletion discussion tags where appropriate. Now you might ask, why bother being an admin? Admins are often referred to as editors with mops. Admins can actually delete pages, block users, and protect pages against editing. But even a normal edit can do these things, just by asking an admin! And finally, I must inform you that you won't pass the request for adminship at this point. Most Wikipedians do not trust users with fewer than several months of logged in activity, as well as several thousand edits, with the tools of adminship. But if you've read everything I just told you, you'll see that you don't really need these tools to help Wikipedia in the way you want. Cheers.

I've just closed your RfA, as it didn't have any chance of passing. I suggest you follow the advice given to you by Someguy1221 above, and try again in a few months time. Best wishes. Acalamari 00:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just to make sure you're aware, if you leave a comment on my talk page, I'll reply on my talk page. Cheers. Someguy1221 (talk) 00:50, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also want to chip in here. Someguy1221 gives excellent advice, and I'd just like to add a link to the list of policies. There's lots of reading that can be done to get a handle on the finer points of Wikipedia, but none of that actually has to be read. You can just go about cleaning up articles, deleting vandalism, etc. If you ever have any questions about anything at all, I am always available on my talk page. Another idea is to add {{subst:dated adoptme}} to your userpage if you would like an experienced editor to help coach and mentor you. Useight (talk) 01:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
