CompuHacker (talk · contribs) - Me. CompuHacker (talk) 22:00, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I have no real expectation of becoming an administrator. The administrator page states that in the early days of Wikipedia, everyone functioned as an administrator. So I aspire to be one. I don't have any admin experience, but I will always research an administrative procedure before carrying it out (assuming by some miracle I become an administrator anyway.). Please don't judge me based on my early edits, I learn quickly.

[edit] Questions for the candidate

Dear 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: None, unless asked to and I can throughly understand the procedure requested. I don't plan to actively partake in administrative duties.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: I do not have any outstanding contributions to the main namespace, but have a basic intermediate understanding of Wiki software.
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: There haven't been any major issues.

To number 3... I'm not going to revoke this unless there is a good reason. I'd like everyone to have their opinion until this is closed. Thanks for the information Image:smile.png
To number 4/5, I would really rather try then give up. I know about the guidelines of Wikipedia (had no idea WP:snow existed lol) and that following every policy to the letter is discouraged. But I really don't want to give up.
To number 8... Technically, it's not a policy, but it's also not a guideline either, so never mind. However, it's not official, and I've never seen it before. I don't actively read RfA.

[edit] Support
  1. Moral Support I must applaud you enthusiasm, but unfortunately your lack of experience isn't going to get you adminship. Keep on editing, fighting vandals, and being a great contributor to the project and you can come back here to try again. Every RFA deserves a support vote :).

[edit] Oppose
  1. Oppose Not enough experience or understanding. I need faith you will know to follow policy. You need to demonstrate that before I would support. MBisanz talk 00:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  2. Very little activity. Wizardman 00:17, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  3. Oppose Sparatic activity, good chunk of your contribs (which are sall enough as it is) are to your own userspace, and very little WP/WT work. Sorry, dude/dudette, but you're not there yet. You might want to withdraw this and ask for an editor review/coaching.--Koji†Dude (C) 00:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  4. Suggest withdrawal - Sorry man, as you said, you don't expect this to pass, and I think if you don't withdraw soon it will be closed per WP:SNOW. asenine say what? 00:35, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  5. Oppose You may not want to withdraw, but it will be snowed in any event as you have approximately 300 edits, plus sporadic edit summary usage. ArcAngel (talk) 00:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  6. No. Sorry, but with 300 edits, this is a WP:snow. Spinach Dip 00:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  7. Oppose (ec) 151 main space edits is great! Keep going... However, in order for the community to support you as an administrator you need a much higher volume of edits than you have along with diverse experience across and within many namespaces, particularly main, project and user talk. I have no doubt you can learn what to do but you may wish to look into admin coaching if your goal is to become an admin. κaτaʟavenoTC 00:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
