Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: The main thing I will do is to fight vandalism in Wikipedia. It is a great project, and I hope to continue to serve it as an administrator.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: There are none that come to mind, although I will say that I like to contribute to things that I know alot about. Anything related to music and the trumpet I can probably help on.
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: When I was blocked for vandalism because I friend used my account, I was angry and reacted without thinking (see my talk page for a record.) However, Netsnipe was nice enough to assume good faith and let me have one last chance.
General comments

Please keep criticism constructive and polite.

Oppose

  1. Oppose less than 250 contributions. You're off to a good start, but you probably haven't gained enough experience yet. Come back when you have maybe a few thousand edits, and have been around at least 3 months. Please don't be discouraged - keep up the good work, and a future RfA may be successful! – Riana talk 14:03, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  2. Obvious Oppose. Seems to be involved in committing far more vandalism than fighting it. The user's talk page is filled with vandalism warnings and was recently blocked. ChazBeckett 14:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  3. Strong Oppose. Although I believe the above poster's comments aren't assuming good faith, I do believe that 81 total edits and a block for vandalism occuring less than a week ago is plenty of grounds for opposition. I hope this doesn't discourage you, but I would suggest withdrawl. I think this is an obvious WP:SNOW situation and, though I don't always agree with the policy, I would suggest you follow it now. I really hope you keep up the constructive work you've done and come back in a few months when you haven't been recently blocked and have some more edits! Kntrabssi 14:13, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  4. Oppose doesn't have the experience, the edit count, and the article work. Plus, blocked a week ago. I suggest immediate withdrawal. - Anas talk? 14:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  5. Oppose. Needs experience. utcursch | talk 14:17, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  6. Oppose → Lack of experience Snowolf (talk) CON COI - 14:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. WP:SNOW. To the candidate: Please, read WP:GRFA. You are not ready for adminship. Try again in a few months. – Chacor 14:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
