Sorry, but I just don't think you're ready for adminship. You have less than 1000 edits in total, although I am not one to judge because of edit count, less than 1000 is just too low in order to be able to evaluate for experience on the encyclopedia. You also show a clear lack of maturity [1], feeding the trolls and unknowingly encouraraingly encouraging vandals [2] [3]. This diff seems to show that you are unaware of how to report problems with image licencing [4], an admin must clearly understand the image use policy, and the non-free content criteria. If also fail to understand this diff, yes, Youtube links are not appropriate per WP:EL, however you claim it is breaching copyright, if violating the policies of Youtube, it would be removed from there, it is in now way violating our copyright policy, this another clear misinterpretation of Wikipedia:Copyrights. Your answer to question 2 is brief, uninformative and frankly, disrespectful. You claim that you would like to help "US articles" because they are important, what makes other articles about other countries/areas not as important as the United States. You also clearly do not understand the RfA proccess, you add this nomination to the wrong place (see your edit before that, too). Your amswer to question is also unimpressive, it is too brief for any editor to be able to evaluate you. I cannot, at the minute trust you with administrator tools, due to the maturity, feeding the trolls and lack of edits/experience. Also this. Qst 20:57, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Get some experience fighting vandalism and writting articles, give your oppinions in Xfd's, get an admin coach, and come back in 6 months. If you do that you will probably pass.--SJP 02:49, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
