The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a permissions request that did not succeed. Please do not modify it.

Result: not promoted - Dear Derpdart56, you are a valued member of this community, but if I look at the result below, the community still thinks that it too soon. You are currently a rollbacker, so you can already help with fighting vandalism. Next time you try, get someone to nominate you. Please continue the good work you do for this wiki. Thank you. --Eptalon (talk) 21:08, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there. I wish to become a admin to help the wiki grow. I've made some pages and edits since my last RFA and wish to do more with the wiki. --Derpdart56 (talk) 18:03, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate's acceptance: Self Nominated

Support

Oppose

Weak oppose I feel that it is too soon for Derpdart to get administrator. However, good luck. kolva | chat? 18:46, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't think they are at this point in time suitable to be an administrator and highly suggest not nominating yourself next time. Wait for someone to nominate you. -Djsasso (talk) 19:14, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not really ready yet for a position like this. Your last 500 or so consist of mostly reverting vandalism and making redirects. This isn't a bad thing, but there isn't anything that indicates maturity in Wikipedia. MrMeAndMrMe_{Let's talk} 20:41, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Your VIP reports and QD requests are good, I think you just need experience in other areas like RfD. Thanks for volunteering though. --Ferien (talk) 09:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The nomination statement is very vague and isn't compelling to what an admin needs. Maybe in six months you could retry. SoyokoAnis - talk 13:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Seems like a huge step up from a rollbacker to an admin. -Deppiyy (talk) 15:29, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose Your edits are good. Be careful with self noms however. This is a case of WP:NOTNOW Try again though. :) Bobherry (talk) 04:10, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not yet Unfortunately, the user has not given a full reason as to why they want to become admin. Thanks for volunteering tho :-) --SHB2000 (talk) 10:58, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for offering to be an administrator. Just a few questions:

What are your greatest strengths here on Wikipedia?
Why do you want to be an administrator?
As an administrator, what would you use the administrative tools for?
What did you learn from your previous RFAs and what have you changed as a result?

Don't feel like you have to answer them, but as a newly returning member of the community, I just want to understand more about how you would be as an administrator. Best, Griff (talk) 21:28, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for a late response, heh.

I believe my greatest strength is handling vandals and reverting vandalism.

I want to be an admin to help out around the wiki by increasing my ability to revert vandals and help build pages.

I would delete pages that are under quick delete criteria and hopefully help deal with our RFD problem.

I learned to be patient and wait until I was more mature as an editor.

That's all. Derpdart56 (talk) 17:40, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
