ComputerGuy890100 (talk · contribs) - Hello. I am ComputerGuy890100. I formerly was registered as Wiki890 and Wiki1997, but changed accounts. I hope to get adminship because I am very active on Wikipedia, I love Wikipedia and editing it, and I have very good writing abilities. Thank you for your time to be reading this.

Questions for the candidate
[edit]Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
- 1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
- A: I will try to clean-up Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads and Wikipedia:WikiProject Washington State Highways.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- A: My best contributions to Wikipedia include Washington State Route 531 and North Lakewood, Washington because they are well-written and were my earliest articles.
- 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: There have been no edit conflicts I have had (as of January 12, 2008). I like other users on Wikipedia, because crowds are better than 1. If I ever get streesed, I just go and read off of another site. If I do get into an edit conflict, I will just go and start over.

Discussion
[edit]- Note: This page was transcluded by someone other than a nom or the candidate (Calvin 1998, first opposer). I'd like to see a sign of intent on this page, after transclusion, by the candidate..Avruchtalk 21:21, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support
[edit]Oppose
[edit]- Oppose- I don't like the fact that he's only contributed to mainspace articles. He's never done RC Patrol, as far as I can see, never really posted anything on anyone's talk page but his own, never reported anyone to AIV, never nominated something for or participated in a XfD(anything for deletion). An administrator will need such experience. I suggest that ComputerGuy890100 do some of these things, get comfortable in these fields, and then come back(with a higher edit count, I may add).

- I don't like the fact that you voted oppose and then transcluded the page, FYI. Avruchtalk 21:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't notice it wasn't transcluded until after I voted. I saw the nom on Recent changes, so I didn't go to the main page first. I wasn't until after that I noticed it wasn't transcluded. Please, AGF. I you really need to ask me more or are still suspicious, just talk to me on my talk page. Thanks Calvin 1998 (talk) 22:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't assume anything :-). Sometimes folks create an RfA nom for reasons other than to actually stand for RfA, and sometimes the pages are created by others before even informing a candidate. So unless you are the nom/candidate/have permission, please don't transclude RfAs. Avruchtalk 22:19, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose - user is inexperienced, cannot remember his own password and has created two new accounts because of this, etc. --Rschen7754 (T C) 21:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose; as Rschen said, this user has had to use two different accounts because he lost his password. Personally, I cannot entrust a user with the mop if he can't handle the most basic element of an account: logging in. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 21:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose needs more experience, work in admin related tasks, and better use of the edit summary usage. Dreamy § 21:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose- more experience necessary here - also the fact that the user has replaced his account and used edit summarys less than 15% of the time in mainspaces is of very great concern to me. Not to mention his intent for use of the tools is too focused on a section of the encyclopedia and not the whole — master sonT - C 21:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose - Inability to remember password is my primary reason. I don't necessarily trust the user to misuse the tools on that basis, but I'm not sure s/he would be able to use them if they can't log on. Also, writing the password (and probably name) down might make it possible for someone else to get ahold of it, which would definitely be a bad idea. A bit more experience, and an easier to remember password?, might do a lot to remove such reservations, though. John Carter (talk) 22:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
