Questions for the candidate
[edit]Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
- 1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
- A: Updating sites that are inactive or havent been added to, filing through information to find out what is acurate and getting rid of the usless informatiin.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- A: My best contribution to Wikipedia would be the page that i am currently working on "Knob Noster High School", I hope to have the page fully functioning with acurate information within the week.
- 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 have had conflicts with members, discrediting the information that I have uncovered and maybe I didnt put a cite on it and then when I go to replace it, it gets deleted again. If I have to deal with this in the future which I am positive I will, I will confront the person I am dealing with and attempt to figure out a way to solve it.

Discussion
[edit]Support
- Support because this won't succeed. Get active with community, continue to edit, and perhaps have a look at some of the policies. Getting your feet wet with some Wikipedia stuff (like articles for deletion) wouldn't hurt either. Cheers, Lanky (YELL) 17:24, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose
- Oppose - 79 Edits is too low to apply and the account was created just yesterday..Maybe if you applied in another 6 months or so..----Cometstyles 17:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- You're far too new for me to gauge any sort of opinion on whether you understand policy, what sort of temperament you have, etc., and you would probably be far too likely to make mistakes in using admin tools through inexperience. Come back some time in the future, after you have made a lot more edits (Cometstyles' suggestion of 6 months may be a good one), and I'll be able to get a better idea of whether you'd make a good admin then. --ais523 17:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose, sorry but you aren't ready yet. As Ais523 points out, we don't have enough evidence to show that you understand and can calmly apply Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Its fairly obvious from your answers to the questions that you don't yet know what an administrator does here. I suggest you withdraw your RfA for now, continue to contribute to the encyclopedia and then try an editor review in a few months. Thanks, though, for volunteering to help, we apreciate your contribution to Wikipedia whether as an editor or as an admin. Gwernol 17:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose At first your RfA read "Knobbie2010", and I thought this was some kind of joke. Sorry, but I really don't think you have the required experience. You'll need a longer time around and much higher activity. For now, please withdraw this RfA. —Anas talk? 17:48, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose You should read about what admininstrators do before deciding if you would like to become one. Once you can decide, you should take action in areas where you can make a difference, like participating in deletion discussions and reporting persistant vandals. One a side note, canvassing for people to support your nomination for adminship is discouraged. Leebo T/C 17:54, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose No usage of edit summaries, account only created yesterday and 79 edits - this is way too low for an admin candidate. I think if you get some XFD work and get involved in places like AIV and get some quality contribs, you'll pass in the future but for the minute I suggest withdrawing this RfA per WP:SNOW, try being adopted.
