Nomination
[edit]Bens dream (talk · contribs) – I doubt this application will be successful, and I can understand why, though if you give me a chance, I can definitely prove myself as a worthy member of the admin team. Please note that I am happy for you to add any questions that you wish for me to answer. Thanks, Ben 22:54, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Questions for the candidate
[edit]Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:
- 1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
- A: I'm here to correct typos, add sources, request that sources are added to pages without sources, fix vandalism that's gone unnoticed by a bot or other user, and resolve conflicts between users. In short, I'd like to rectify doubtful or false information, whilst keeping a friendly community alive.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- A: If by "Best" you mean largest or most significant, none. I'm not going to lie - As I said, I'm not here to make massive paragraphs about things. I'd really just like to make the smaller changes that actually play a rather large part in a page (EG Sources, false information, typos, etc)
- 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: I've noticed that in the past, users have reverted my changes for no apparent reason. To resolve the issue, I've left messages on their talk page to notify them, and would do so in the future, unless requested otherwise by a member of Wiki staff.
- 4. Being a time traveller will you be able to stop vandalism before it happens? SpeakFree (talk)(contribs) 23:41, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose
[edit]- Oppose, the user even didn't stated why s/he wants to be an admin. No need for the tools in the nom. mabdul 23:34, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose user only has 17 edits. Suggest someone SNOW-close this one. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 23:37, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose - especially the answer to Q1 does not convince me that this user needs admin tools (also per The Blade of the Northern Lights, too few edits) - TBloemink talk 23:39, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose I'm sorry but you only have 17 edits, and 7 of them are to this RfA. It looks like you have good intentions, but please gain more experience and try again in about a year or so. -- Luke (Talk) 23:39, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
