Caribbean1 (talk · contribs) - Why I should be an administrator, I should be an administrator because of my knowledge and interest in the English Language, as I call this skill an administrator should have to amend, Organize and change articles so they make sense to people looking for articles on the select subject for school.

I am doing GCSE French Language and am very talented. This is an extra bonus for and adminstrator as I can then use the French wikipedia, if the English wiki does not have a specific piece of information.

My interest in the Caribbean would be great for the Caribbean articles as they seem to lack on the English Wiki. I am currently the most active on the WikiProject Caribbean, a WikiProject very dedicated to improving Caribbean articles.

I also have an interest in Christianity so that could improve that article even more than it already is.

So I would make a very good administrator as I can:-

1) Change and Organize articles on the English Wiki 2) Speak very good GCSE french 3) Improve Caribbean-related articles 4) Improve Christianity-related articles

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Please keep criticism constructive and polite.

Discussion

I would suggest you withdraw this nomination as you have fewer than 200 edits and have only been registerd since November 9. Also, you don't seem to know what exactly administrators do. You have not named anything that you cannot do currently. Please stay and continue contributing to Wikipedia in all the ways you say you would if you were an admin. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 17:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support

Oppose

Oppose - I'm sorry, but with only 160 edits, this has no chance of success. I suggest you withdraw and read Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship before coming back with more experience. —Dgies^t c 17:05, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose/Suggest Withdrawal, almost no edits and you show NO need for the tools.--Wizardman 17:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose If you had been around Wikipedia longer, you'd realise that an account as new as yours never passes RfA, as people will oppose on the age and edit count alone. Your answers to the questions also don't show much knowledge about what administratorship on Wikipedia is about. Do you know which tools administrators have access to but ordinary users don't, and when to use them, for instance? For the time being, you should simply request for assistance from an administrator whenever you need to do something that only an administrator can do (I do this frequently; but your contributions don't show any requests for administrator assistance that I can see). --ais523 17:09, 15 February 2007 (U T C)
