[edit] Oppose
  1. Oppose. I'm sorry, but no. Partially because of this revert of my edit to "The Fat Guy Strangler", which was removing excessive plot detail. Yes, it did contain a few, minor grammatical errors (all of which have now been fixed), but this user's decision to revert me blindly calling it an "unnecessary edit" rather than just fixing the few mistakes leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Plus, the extremely long signature and poor grammar. I've lost count of all the spelling and grammatical mistakes in this RfA nomination. Its just too early at the minute for you to become an admin, I think. Qst (talk) 18:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
  2. Oppose Lack of experience, Large, unexplained gaps of several months in contribs log, lack of understanding of what a Wikipedia admin does. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 18:51, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
    I do have to say most of my contributes are reverts from vandalism.Staffwaterboy♂ 18:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
  3. Oppose Looking at your edit history, in my opinion I do not believe that you have demonstrated an understanding of the various processes that are required of wikipedia sysops. Also, most of the descriptions that you mention in your preamble do not require sysop status. Keeping the site clean requires editing, and drop notices at WP:AIV for recidivist spammers. Maybe in the future, but unfortunately not at present. -- Avi (talk) 18:58, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
  4. Strong Oppose - Not enough mainspace edits; poor spelling; poor edit summary usage; unsatisfactory answers to standard questions. Plus, this appears to be a self-nom, but candidate accepted it anyway?!? Enough evidence here for closure per WP:SNOW. ArcAngel (talk) 19:03, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
