Discussion

Oppose

1. Per WP:NOTNOW. Under 500 Mainspace edits is not enough of a public record to give us a guide as to how you'd handle "the tools". 0 "Wikipeida talk" namespace edits hurts, too. It looks like your Sri Lankan work is good, keep that up, but it's a little too early to consider adminship. Achowat (talk) 13:27, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
2. Oppose. The contents of your talk page (mostly warnings, deletion notifications and block notices) suggest you do not yet understand our policies and guidelines to the degree you'd be able to help other editors understand them. You have a lot of work to do before you get to that point, but if you are patient and dedicated and willing to take advice you may get there at some point. 28bytes (talk) 13:33, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
3. Per apparent wanting an upper hand in this arb request. —Strange Passerby (talk • cont) 13:36, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
4. Oppose per Arbcom case. I suspect this project is not really the venue that Distributor is looking for. — Ched :  ?  13:39, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
5. Oppose. I don't think you understand policy to the necessary degree for adminship. Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 13:45, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
6. Oppose per WP:NOTNOW. You haven't shown that you necessarily understand what adminship is for and you don't currently have enough experience and knowledge of policy. Research some policy and take a look at Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates then come back in a couple of months. Ryan Vesey Review me! 13:56, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
7. Edit warring, blocked few times, work only on 1 specific topic of wikipedia, doesn't even seem to need the tools, RfA wasn't properly filled in and so on... Anyway thank you for volunteering, I hope that once you understand all the issues, you would become more suitable for this. So maybe later :-) Petrb (talk) 13:57, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
8. Opose needs a lot more experience.—cyberpower ^Chat_{Limited Access} 14:09, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
9. Oppose WP:NOTNOW. Doesnt seem any real need for tools at the moment, not a great deal of history to create a picture as to how the tools may be used/trusted to the cadidate. Also not impressed by the answers to questions for candidate. CalumH93|talk 14:13, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
