Discussion

Support

Moral support I suggest withdrawing, as you don't have enough experience (see WP:NOTNOW). But I just want to try to quash the meme that this is a vandal, or someone who's name we can feel free to make fun of. If you actually look at their edits, this is someone slowly trying to figure out how things work around here. There are one or two test edits that might stray slightly into the grey zone, but I think in general we have a good faith attempt to help here, so please take care to not treat this as a joke request, and keep comments about "recent level-4 warnings" in perspective; that warning was not justified, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find any true vandalism in their contributions. Please don't chase off a good faith contributer who's only mistake is not understanding how RFA works around here. --barneca (talk) 20:44, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

Oppose. Not enough contributions to effectively judge grasp of policy and a recent history of level 4 and final warnings. Ironholds (talk) 20:07, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - You have a history of recent vandalism, recommend withdrawal per WP:NOTNOW. m acy 20:13, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not enough experience. Edit summary useage too low. User does not show an understanding of what adminship is. User does not appear to know what areas admins are needed in. User does not appear to know how to handle conflicts. Not sure the user understands some core policies. User has no experience working in maintenance areas. User has had a significant number of edits reverted as vandalism. This is just a selection of issues. Suggest withdrawl. Stwalkerster [ talk ] 20:14, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose obviously. Incidentally, how do you square your "I am against censorship" userbox with your attempts to censor Wikipedia? – iride scent 20:17, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:NOTNOW. User is too new and has vandalized, that and they spelled "weasel" wrong in their name. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 20:18, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The aforementioned complaints (little experience, recent vandalism) lead me to believe that the user does not have the sufficient amount of maturity required of a Wikipedia admin. TheLetterM (talk) 20:42, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just, no. You can't vandalise and become an admin in the same year. Garden. 20:49, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
