[edit] Pupster21

Final (0/7/1); Closed per WP:SNOW 18:09 Friday 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Pupster21 (talk · contribs) - I have been inactive as of late, but this time I have come back with more experience and a more mature personality. Pupster21 Talk To Me 12:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Questions for the candidate

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:I am more leaning to be a support admin this time. I would say that I would probably try to end backlogs and try to keep a sharp eye on images and articles for copyright violations. I have thought since my last Rfa and now I know what an admin needs to do.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A:Once again, my best contributions are through many WikiProjects and are very subtle. Yes, I know that I have made many controversial edits but I think that my overall contribs can make up. Unlike last time, now the articles that I work on I try to cite properly. I still maintain from my last Rfa, that my best contribution is WP:YANKS.
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:Now I have been involved in an edit war truly and I see that negotiations come first, blocking comes second.

Support

Oppose

  1. Oppose Your comments in the last three AfDs you participated in were "Delete, have no clue what the heck it is", "Keep An OK article that deserves to stay until he is signed to a pro team" and "Keep, a funny article that covers a concept". Although, ironically, the consensus went with you on each occasion (albeit for different reasons), this seems to demonstrate a serious lack of understanding of policy in what's probably the most important admin area. Also, you seem very inactive - aside from this RfA, you only have one Wikipedia-space edit since the beginning of June — iridescent (talk to me!) 12:51, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  2. Oppose and suggest withdrawl this will probably not pass, you're borderline experience wise, but not even touching on your extremely weak chance of passing RFA by your comments and actions alone, you've had practically no time to improve since your last RFA, especially considering you've barely edited in the past three months, you've definitely not come far enough since your last RFA to be here again --lucid 13:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  3. Oppose Three months complete inactivity followed by filing your 2nd RfA 30 minutes after returning does not sit well with me. Very weak answers to RfA questions, which was a frequent criticism in your previous RfA, but you made no effort to improve your responses here. Maralia 13:23, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  4. Oppoose and ask for withdrawl I'm sorry - normally I would like to offer at least a moral support but by doing nothing for months on the project and then requesting Adminship the moment you start editing again is, frankly, disrespectful to the nature of RFA and to other editors. I'm sorry. Pedro |  Chat  14:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  5. Oppose I'm quite worried about the answers to the questions, and the recent incidents at WP:AfD don't help very much either. It is unlikely this will pass, it seems like WP:SNOW to me. Perfect Proposal Speak out loud! 15:02, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  6. Oppose No experience. This should be withdrawn per WP:SNOW. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 15:15, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  7. Oppose. Not to just pile it on, but while this editor definitely had a couple of good months, only 45 edits in the last three months is not good at all. I was able to find another comment on an AFD about it being interesting. Shows to me that policy pages should be read over a few more times. Here's a good link: List of Policies. I'd look over those and keep editing, trying for a few hundred edits each month. Meanwhile, this RFA could possibly be closed under WP:SNOW. Useight 16:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. Neutral. While I like the good job at WP:YANKS, there is not much there, or anywhere in WP to show you need the mop. However, it doesn't appear he'll abuse the mop, either. Come back in a couple of months, after more work on Yankees articles and WP:PM or WP:AFD. Bearian 15:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
