Questions for the candidate

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: Good Question, I would say Special:NewPages and Protection of Vulnerable Articles.

2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

A: I would say my best article I have created is Wood End, Atherstone, I have created and written about many articles in the Warwickshire/Staffordshire, The reason being is because few people will work on these.

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 had a Minor issue with the Baxterley Church article and the Kingstone, Staffordshire article, none of these were too major and were sorted quickly.

Support

1. I am not going to withold my support over one mistake and I don't see why an admin can't learn on the job. James500 (talk) 17:55, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
2. Moral support You're enthusiastic enough, keep editing and you'll be ready in a few months. →Στc. 18:35, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Oppose per the inability to follow the instructions for this RfA correctly. Eagles 24/7 (C) 16:37, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
2. Oppose per Eagles247 above. Not being able to follow the instructions for creating and transcluding an RfA isn't a good omen for things to come. User has next to zero experience working in any admin-related functions. Trusilver 16:48, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

   I do want to point out that I've been going through articles you have created, and I'm impressed with your contributions. A few months working with admin functions and I would be happy to support next time. Trusilver 17:04, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

3. Oppose due to lack of experience now, but like Trusilver above me I like what I see so far; a few months down the road working on NPP or RCP and I'd support you. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 17:08, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
4. Per Eagles. If one can't follow simple directions, then they can't be an admin. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 17:18, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
5. Oppose If you can't follow directions, don't even think about it. WP:SNOW. HurricaneFan25 17:20, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
6. Lack of competence and clue. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 18:34, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
7. Moral support. Sorry, but no. You lack experience in admin-related areas (and were not capable of correctly transcluding this request). Salvio ^{Let's talk about it!} 18:58, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
8. Oppose for now, but you do have potential. I suggest you participate in some admin-related areas for a few months, then see if anyone on this page is willing to nominate you. Regards, The Utahraptor^Talk/_Contribs 19:11, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
9. Oppose Concerns with experience, breadth of exposure. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 20:19, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
