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 administrative work do you intend to take part in?

A: I would montior project pages such as WP:RFPP, WP:AIV, and WP:AFD to help others. The Cool Kat (talk) 13:59, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

A: My best contribs would be Space Buddies, Balto (character), White Fang (TV series) The Legend of White Fang. A lot of my contribs are creating and expanding pages, the others would be reverting vandalism. I previously had rollback rights before i misused them. Now i know how to correctly use rollback rights. The Cool Kat (talk) 13:59, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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: Some users i've had issues with are User:Simulation12, User:Nicholsy, and most recently User:70.24.233.37. Over the last month i have learned to keep a cool head when dealing with vandals and disruptive users. And learning to report vandals to AIV and AN/I then leting things get too personal.

Discussion

Support

Oppose

Oppose. Rollback recently removed for abuse this month, and I declined a re-request for rollback shortly after. It is far too soon to try for adminship, as you yourself acknowledge above. May I suggest a editor review in this request's place. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 14:04, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per PeterSymonds, to soon after your rollback was removed. First step regain trust to get it back, then use it properly for six-twelve months and then come back to RfA.--Giants27 ^T/C 14:12, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but you don't quite seem ready yet. Spend more time looking over other RfAs, rebuild trust to get Rollback back, get an editor review which will be far less strenuous than an RfA, spend some time voting at AfD. Generally work on showingyou understand the nuances and vagaries of WP's policies. --Ged UK 14:22, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Too soon. –xeno (talk) 14:31, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose - Rollback removed due to misuse much too recently to support. Also due to a very serious off-Wiki incident which occurred as a result of this users actions recently (will not name specifics). Suggest WP:NOTNOW close. — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 14:51, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
