Runningblader (4th nomination)

previous nominations - 1st, 2nd, 3rd

Ends on June 10,2008

I have been reviewed. My Review Running talk 23:54, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate's acceptance:

Support

Support Don't let the rudeness and nastiness from what are supposed to be "respected" editors get you down. Come back in a few months, and you might be ready then. Majorly ^talk 14:02, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

Oppose for the same reasons as last time. Also, 3 RfA's within a week of each other isn't helping your chances, it is hurting them. Even I don't make RfA's this often. Razor flame 01:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Being reviewed in ER doesn't give you a ticket to adminship. Chenzw Talk 02:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose yet again with a forecast of snow in the near future. In the 6 days since your last RfA, you have 52 main space edits, but offset that with 58 userspace edits and over 70 usertalk edits. 26% mainspace edits (28% counting your 7 deleted edits) is not much of an improvement and certainly not good numbers. There are (still) issues with MoS and creation of unwikified articles. When people say "Try again later", they mean months later, not days. 3 RfAs in 2 weeks time is enough of a reason to vote against you (and most likely against the next one if it happens in less than 3-4 months without major continuous excellent editing.) On the plus side, at least your request (though in the wrong place) was spelled correctly. This will likely be snowed within 24 hours. -- Creol(talk) 02:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - unfortunately, Creol is right. Even the Alps don't get snowed on so quickly. --Gwib^-(talk)- 11:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:-I have way more then 52 main space edits. I have over 300 main space edits.- Running talk 11:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: He meant that you had edited the mainspace only 52 times since your last RfA. --Gwib^-(talk)- 11:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - per the weather report. User:Jack Merridew_{a.k.a. David} 13:26, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Why does Creol have to be so rude and sarcastic in his frequent opposes on this page? Has he not heard of being nice? Majorly ^talk 12:54, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This actually has been said before. I know he's a tad blunt, but he's very throughout and hard-working. His opinions are based on fact and usually are right (this coming from someone he's opposed in the past). --Gwib^-(talk)- 13:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Gwib. - EchoBravo contribs 13:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He may be right, but there's no need to be so nasty about it. It's unbecoming of a bureaucrat. RFA isn't the nicest of places, and people like Creol really don't help make it any nicer. Majorly ^talk 13:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True, but think about it: a user who obviously cannot make it files an RFA a week after the last one is snowed. Isn't that like a test of patience? Chenzw Talk 14:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No. Instead of making unhelpful nasty comments, he should be removing the request as premature. Majorly ^talk 14:06, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
