Sarahgal

I know I seem completely new on Simple English Wikipedia, but for about six months I have contributed without a loginname. I have contributed to the userboxes and articles in ENWikipedia (although I am not an admin there). My goals for Simple English Wikipedia is to create Simple English userboxes, simplify articles and to help end vandalism! (The dreaded v-word!). I cannot do much researching as I have internet restriction. I may seem young (13) but dedication, responsibility and ability are the only things that should contribute to being an admin. I know I have little basis for proof as most of my edits are anonymous. If you think I am not credible, then I will try to get credible.

Comment: I don't see how we could even credit your past contributions, unless you told what number you posted them under and verified it by posting a confirmation here from that same number... Would you be willing to do this? Blockinblox 00:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I'd be willing but I can't. Most contributions weren't on this IP. I have like 50 contributions on this at the most. Sorry. Gosh- I seem like a horrible canidate I know but- I guess trust is all you have but its hard to trust a stranger. Sarahgal 00:11, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose. You don't seem like a horrible candidate. Can you at least tell us what IP that was? If you can, we can at least check the contributions, etc. About how many contributions did you have here on that IP? I am in full agreement with you that age does not ultimately matter for adminstrator's rights. I even think that the time and editcount requirements can be bent at times. But you should be pretty close to both before even thinking about asking for admin rights, normally. The requirements are three months (you've passed that you say, and I believe you) and 1000 edits. Do you really have that many? I think if you can't prove that IP, we're not going to be able to count them for you, since we don't know if those were you, or even if they were good or bad edits. That's one of the reasons we tell anon users to get a username. There is a certain reputation that builds up around a username (plus the contributions can always be checked), so people know if that user is a good one, a poor one, or a vandal. Even though it's a pain, I'd say to get editing, and request admin status again when you've got 1000 edits under this username. If they're all good edits, I can almost guarantee you that you'll make it. --Cromwellt|talk|contris 02:37, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I can think of no way of getting that IP I am very sorry. Maybe in a month or so I can try again. I wish I had a username then .... grrrr! Sarahgal 05:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Why don't you name some of the articles you have worked on.... then we can probably figure it out...Blockinblox 05:28, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose: As per above, either point us to some of the articles you edited anonymously, or provide an IP address (range?) you did that from. The 50-odd edits you did under this user ID will certainly not get you an admin status. -- Eptalon 09:23, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I just remember the ones I worked on recently. I could tell you the range of things I did. Simplifying, spellchecking. Nothing too big- mostly small things. This is going bad. I guess I'll just try to do as much as I can in a few hours getting (hopefully) to 1000! But that won't work an I know it... Sarahgal 16:57, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
