Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

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: I want to explore the process of blocking vandals, as that sounds extremely interesting. I also would like to learn about the many other tools i have yet to gain access to.

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

A: I have been very editorially consistent with many pages, especially those related to American Idol and especially Idol Gives Back. I was the reason that the Idol Gives Back#Idol Gives Back 2010#Overtime broadcast section was ever created so fast (around 11 PM the night of the show).

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: Yes, namely over the re-move request of Skins (U.S. TV series) to it's current (and original) home of Skins (North American TV series). I handled it with a long argument in the talk page, but that was a FIRST for me. In the future, I hope to learn from that and be able to agree more easily with my fellow Wikipedians.

Discussion

Oppose

1. Sorry, with less than 100 edits, you've just got way too little experience on the site for the admin tools. If you're interested in vandal-fighting, there are lots of great tools to do that without needing to be an administrator; for example, check out WP:TWINKLE and WP:HUGGLE; I use these myself and I'm not an administrator. Unfortunately, this edit alone suggests you're not quite up to speed yet with how things are done around here: first, you should sign your talk page posts with ~~~~, and second, you shouldn't go around calling other editors idiots. You don't have to agree with them; just show them the respect you'd want to be shown. Take a look at WP:NOTNOW and Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship; those pages have some helpful advice about when and when not to request adminship. Good luck, 28bytes (talk) 07:06, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
2. Oppose Concerns with experience and policy knowledge. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 07:11, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
3. Oppose - Per 28bytes. Think this should be closed per WP:NOTNOW shortly. Camw (talk) 07:15, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
4. Oppose I'm sorry, but we expect months and months of experience from the people that we promote to administrator. You just don't have that. There are plenty of other things for editors to do on Wikipedia, I'm sure you'll find something. Sven Manguard Wha? 07:25, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
5. Oppose You only have 76 edits. You would need some more experience before I would support. Inka⁸⁸⁸ 07:27, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
6. Oppose. WP:SNOW. In addition to the concerns above: You should really be more careful in your edits, this RfA contains boilerplate text ("YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE USER") which should have been caught even on a cursory glance. Additionally, a personal pet peeve (which has no bearing one way or the other): don't use an apostrophe in the possessive form of "it". "It's" is the exclusive domain of the contraction for "it is". Badger Drink (talk) 07:58, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
7. Oppose Clearly not experienced enough for the mop, close as WP:SNOW Pol430 talk to me 08:18, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
8. Oppose. Maturity and experience concerns. -- œ^™ 08:33, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
9. Oppose Clearly does not yet fully understand the importance and scope of admin tasks and the level of responsibility they demand. The first few thousand contributions to the encyclopedia should preferably be to content building: writing and/or improving articles. Close as WP:SNOW. Kudpung (talk) 08:46, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
