Nomination
[edit]User:TDFan2006 – I joined Wikipedia in November of 2013 and I currently have 658 edits. I have read the guidelines and I think I will be ready for adminship despite only being on Wikipedia for 4 months. I have reverted vandalism, checked on suspected sockmasters (though on Wednesday I accidenly made one feel uncomfortable) and I have made constructive edits. I understand that I don't decide what others see and what their opinions are. I understand that it's not a trophy and it doesn't mean I'm special. I understand that it's not a game and it's not about blocking whoever I like and protecting whichever pages I like. I have NEVER shared my account, so I understand that I shouldn't sell my account to my friends. I also understand that it isn't a bag deal and that if I don't get it, I shouldn't panic. One thing to note is, some weekends I take wikibreaks.TDFan2006 (talk) 10:32, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- When you're next around (perhaps on 24 February, and if the RfA is still open) you might want consider expanding on your answers and tidying up any malformed technical aspects. All the best with your editing. -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 14:25, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose
[edit]- 658 edits won't be enough. Sorry. Maybe you can try again in about eight or nine months and about ten times as many edits. Good luck in the future. --Jakob (talk) 12:56, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose. Overall, lacking experience. I don't see any evidence of warning vandals. I am also concerned by this edit, which could be interpreted as canvassing. Axl ¤ [Talk] 15:00, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose. You claim to have read the RfA guidelines. I'll be blunt, read them again. You are not ready, you know you are not ready and the behaviour I have witnessed in some of your edits is unacceptable. Leaky Caldron 17:27, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
