Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

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

A: Reverting vandalism, deletions, clean-ups, etc.

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

A: I haven't that many articles but try to cleanup anything that needs to be.

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: I was in an edit war once. Bad idea. I stopped what I was doing and tried to discuss it with the other person.

Discussion

• Note that the candidate has yet to provide a nominating statement or formally accept the nom, despite the fact that they have indeed transcluded already. I've counseled them on this point at their talk page. UltraExactZZ ^Said ~ Did 12:44, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Er, sorry, but this is quite an obvious WP:NOTNOW candidacy. You don't need to be an admin at the moment, not with your current activity level. Reverting vandalism does not require admin tools. See WP:TWINKLE. Strange Passerby (talk • cont) 12:13, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
2. While I applaud your enthusiasm, and can forsee you becoming an administrator in the future if you keep up with your current learning curve, but at the moment I don't feel your ready. Particularly I don't think you yet understand the ethos of the deletion processes fully (something that can only come with experience). I also find your lack of edit summaries disapointing (almost all the ones you have used have been automatic) and well below the standards I expect of an administrator in this regard - although take hear that this is something that is very easily improved.

3. You should try out more of the features available, such as the move button, and upload files. Administrators will be expected to help out with and understand all these common sort of activities. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:58, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
4. Oppose - you do not have enough experience (400 contribs, 3 months). I suggest you withdraw this application, and consider re-applying after you've been active for at least a year, and have several thousand contributions. Chzz  ►  12:59, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
5. Sorry, but WP:NOTNOW. Your enthusiasm is great, and please don't feel your efforts are not appreciated - they are! However you simply don't have the experience at the moment. The NOTNOW page has some good advice and links, and the helpful commentary on your talk is also worth heeding. Pedro :  Chat  13:04, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
