ForestH2

I would like to nominate my self to be an admin. I have been a simple wikipedian user since June, and have expanded, improved, and started my own articles. I want them to revert vandalism faster and block users as very recently we have had sysops not on simple and lots of vandalism from Anita934 sockpuppets. I have been an English user since April but stopped in September because I wanted to make simple the wikipedia, I contribute most too. Mostly, I work on the airline articles. I am not the most active communicator, but I expect to have more communications once I am an admin. Thanks. ForestH2 00:26, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I think you need more edits before you can be a sysop. PullToOpen ^π/_φ 01:49, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have 110 edits or so. I guess I might need a bit more edits but this is not en where you need 1,000 to 5,000 edits before becoming an admin. ForestH2 03:07, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support. I know you try your best to help the simple Wikipedia and I know you have the capability, but you need to know an administrator has some big responsibilites and must be on full duty. --§ Alastor Moody _{(T + C)} 03:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. We usually recommend at least 500 to 1000 edits and three month's experience before you will become a sysop. Billz (Talk) 06:17, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have three months experience but no 500-1000 edits. Hey, is there any way you can check your edit count over here? ForestH2 14:31, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Click here to check your edit count. It is currently at 113 edits, which I believe is inadequate to become an administrator. The more edits that you do, the more experience that you gain, so only doing about 100 edits will not have given you enough experience, in my honest opinion.

Support Seems like a good user. Carmelapple 23:44, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Needs more edits; though has four months here already. Treebark 23:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Question - Is English your first language? I see you live in Idaho, but a couple of minor things in your above paragraph do not seem like the writing of a native speaker, eg. "my self", "make simple the wikipedia, I contribute most too" etc. Just wondering... Blockinblox 01:05, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- No, Swedish is. English is #2. ForestH2 01:21, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support per Treebark. Jack01 02:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Jack. AlexY 02:42, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Of your support votes, the last two voted here as their very first edit after logging in. Another supporter, User:Carmelapple, uses almost identical writing style on his/her homepage, and is mostly involved with airline articles. Let alone the fact that you do not have nearly enough edits under your own name for serious consideration. I really think we need to get a checkuser here on some of these accounts... Blockinblox 03:15, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So we show the same interest in airline pages?... Carmelapple's page is nothing like mine, mine has a few paragraphs, his is one whole paragraph. ForestH2 03:20, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I stopped this early because the accusations of sockpuppetry in this vote have been more than convincingly been shown. I would not promote under these circumstances. -- Netoholic @ 04:44, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
