Questions for the candidate
editDear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
- 1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
- A:I am a good listener in Wikipedia, and I will "listen" carefully for requests for major edits and, if needed, deletion. I also hope to be an influence on the grammar and writing style used by Wikipedians, for I consider myself to be plenty knowledgeable of English grammar.
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- A:As I mentioned above, I'm good with words, and I have done a lot of copy editing. Also, I've made several efforts in the Village Pump, and have recieved a Barnstar for my proposals.
- 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 can usually find a way to agree with other Wikipedians, and I almost never encounter any conflicts. However, if there were a conflict, I would certainly not back away from it, for I have strong thoughts in many areas of Wikipedia.
I'm Oddmartian2, I want to make Wikipedia the best site on the internet!

Support
Oppose
- Oppose for now. You have around 200 edits between the two accounts, which is nowhere near enough for the community to judge whether you should be trusted with administrator's rights. I suggest reading through recent successful and unsuccessful RfAs to see what various candidates have by way of expirience. Also, ensure that you use edit summaries in your edits. You can adjust your preferences to prompt you for that. -- Flyguy649 talk contribs 21:54, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose not enough experience. -Lemonflash(do something) 22:08, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose (sorry!) You only have 7 talk posts between the two accounts - I can't support someone who hasn't demonstrated they understand policy by discussing it — iridescent (talk to me!) 22:26, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose Between the two accounts, you have around 200, but on this account you have 166, with 50 mainspace contribs. You also do not use edit summary enough, which is big when it comes to RFA's. Basicly, it's lack of experience. Get more experience, and try again in a few months. PatPolitics rule! 22:27, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose please see others comment on improvement before your next RFA, which I hope will be a successful one. KTC 22:28, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose - I don't see why this user needs the tools. --Hirohisat Kiwi 22:56, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose You need more experience. Brusegadi 23:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
