Pupster21 (talk · contribs) - I am an editor that has been around for almost a year. I have been in many situations where the tools would have been useful. That's why I am considering myself (possibly) worthy of the tools. (for the third time) Pupster21 Talk To Me 12:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?

A: Not much at first, I have limited time on WP due to school (maybe 5 hrs a week) and I would need to get a feel for the tools before I really start to use them expansively. I would start with easy stuff such as WP:AIV and work my way up. I would try to keep this place in one piece 1 little bit at a time until I really get the hang of the tools.

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

A: I think that my bets contributions are WP:YANKS and reverting vandalism continuously. However I think that a sense of humor that I can bring can brighten up anyones day as much as reverting vandalism to their userpage. WP:YANKS has been sucsessful in some of its goals. I really just try to make WP a better place and that makes me more proud than anything else.

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: Going through an edit conflict can be tough, but it can be resolved. In any edit conflicts I've been in, it has just been not violating the 3RR and reporting the user to WP:AIV. Really, I can't say that I've been in an edit conflict, but I've been in a few skirmishes.

Support

Support I feel you deserve a chance. Dustihowe 16:56, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

Oppose, I think you are not ready to be an admin. You welcomed the User:WPSUCKS, when it should be reported to WP:UAA. Very few contributions on WP:XFD which is important to gain experience. And your answer to the question 1 is insufficient, there are a lot of other admin tasks which needs attention, such as WP:PROD, WP:RPP, CAT:SPEEDY, etc. I will wait for some months. Keep with your good work. Good luck. Carlosguitar 13:50, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. You have less than 100 edits on talk pages, and you never really engaged in any discussion. Imho communicative skills and the will to discuss actions and contribs is absolutely necessary for an admin. Especially when contributing to highly controversial articles like 2007 Lebanon conflict, editing without entering discussions at all is a total no no for an admin (imho). Sry, but I can't support your nom yet. I suppose you try to interact with other editors and show us some discussion contribs in you next RfA. Gray62 13:59, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, sorry I just don't think you're experienced enough. You probably have been in some situations when the tools would be beneficial, but I'm concerned that you won't know the proper action to take in some situations. Take a look at some successful RfAs, and please do try again in the future. *Cremepuff 222* 14:22, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Lack of experience, weak answers to questions, and just not ready. Jmlk 1 7 15:52, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Tha lack of experience is a major concern here. I suggest you withdraw from this nomination and try again after a few months. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 15:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Lack of experience, and the fact that your last RFA was 2 months back, is a concern. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 16:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. In time, perhaps. I agree with the lack of experience concerns expressed by others. --Kbdank71 17:02, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. As per experience concerns voiced by others on this page. Ronnotel 18:03, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose While I see some improvement over the last RfA (in answers to questions, etc.), I'd be more comfortable if you had more experience. I'd wait a bit and try again. But in the meantime, a snowball close might be in order here. Best, --Bfigura ^(talk) 18:46, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
