User:Claimgoal

Ends on April 22 2008 - Closed early due to Snow.

I'd like to nominate myself for adminship since I know most of the guidelines and have created some myself. I have also created lots of pages that should have been created a long time ago. Claimgoal (talk) 08:56, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Candidate's acceptance:

Oppose

• File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - You have made useful changes, but you have been here for just over one month, and have less than 500 (total) edits. You have shown little need for the tools. I suggest waiting until your three months old, or waiting until another respected editor feels your ready for adminship. Canvassing is never a good idea when your running an RFA either.-- Lights  talk  11:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

• File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - How about waiting for a few more months? Chenzw  Talk  11:55, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
• File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - You are but 1 month old, hardly enough to request for adminship. The preferred amount of time is 3 months, so I would suggest that you not rerequest adminship until late July. Also, you only have 167 mainspace edits, and only 443 edits total. I would be better off giving you the permissions if you had at least 1,000 edits total (combined in all the categories), with at least half of your edits to the mainspace. Also, I have doubts because you are not very active and you haven't been helping out with vandalism, which means that you have no need for the block, protection, or deletion tools, which composed more than half of what administrators do. I would suggest you brush up on the Wikipedia:Criteria for Administratorship before requesting this permission again. Cheers, Razorflame 13:57, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

• File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - While you have made fantastic edits, I apoligize because I must oppose per WP:CFA. Sorry, but keep up the great work! SwirlBoy39 01:42, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Comments

• You did not create new guidelines, instead, you created new pages for them as some did not exist here. Chenzw  Talk  11:38, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
• The first guideline I would suggest brushing up on would be Wikipedia:Criteria for Administratorship: 1 month, 167 mainspace edits (as many mainspace as user/usertalk edits) and had to be told to add an email address.. This is likely to end early due to Snow. -- Creol(talk) 12:02, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Move a motion for a WP:SNOW closure. --  Da Punk '95  talk  21:03, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
