Support

Oppose

  1. Oppose as there's no reason to support. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:27, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Note that I might change to support if there is more added to the RfA by A.Z. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:29, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    There is no reason to oppose. Well, I can add that I'll stop being an administrator if I start abusing the tools. A.Z. 06:45, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Reading this candidate's talk page evidences that the candidate has had significant conflict at the help desk recently, and in general I see discussions there that leave me with doubts about the candidate's ability to work collaboratively. In addition, I am not exactly inspired by the fact that this candidate left uncommented "Support" votes on every open request for adminship at about the same time as the candidate's self-nomination. I find that I have little choice but to register my objection to the promotion of this candidate. Kelly Martin (talk) 07:07, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Strong Oppose No reason to support per above. And I really don't like the candidate's answer above. Jmlk17 07:09, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Strong Oppose and recommend withdrawal due to a lack of experience (fewer than 50 mainspace edits et al), and a lack of reasons to support in the answers to the questions. Not that the questions are compulsory, but they'd certainly help get a handle on things here. The comment that the user would stop being an admin if he/she abused the tools is hardly earth-shattering either, since egregious abuse is a sure-fire way to get de-adminned anyway. I'm also concerned over this idea which the candidate came up with, which would appear to be almost the definition of a Bad Idea. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 08:03, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose. Virtually no effort whatsoever expended on this RfA, and doesn't seem to have much of a grasp of what goes on around here... I'm trying to fathom what this place would be like if everyone could block each other (could we still unblock ourselves?) Grandmasterka 08:58, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Oppose - the candidate demonstrates no need for the tools and BigHaz' diff is troubling. - Richard Cavell 10:32, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Oppose Lack of experience, no need for the tools, edit summary usage far below the least acceptable, spamming 13 RFAs with support... I strongly recommend withdrawal.--Húsönd 10:34, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Very strong oppose per conduct in talk page.--Wizardman 01:07, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Strong oppose. If you believe that all users should be able to block and unblock others, and that WP:SNOW should not apply to your RFA of 9 opposes, then you seriously need experience. bibliomaniac15 01:08, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  10. Oppose trolling, disruption, not here for the right reasons (43 contributions), evidence he'll abuse the block tool, unnecessary fuss about this RfA. Normally I wouldn't pile on, but he says himself he wants it so bad. Just a completely and utterly unqualified candidate who should never be an admin here. Majorly (hot!) 01:11, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  11. Never. The hissy-fit that this user had at Majorly exposed two things: a) they can't control their temper and cut their losses; and b) they don't understand what the hell they're talking about. Oh, no, no, no. Daniel Bryant 10:02, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral

  1. Recommend withdrawal, as this will eventually be closed per WP:SNOW. —AldeBaer 08:27, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I second this recommendation. Jmlk17 08:40, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
