I have been helping new Wikipedia editors edit properly, made sure there is no vandalism on articles, keeping IP vandals’ behaviour in check and checking the recent changes area to make sure nobody has done anything bad. If an IP editor or vandal’s talk page is completely blank, I put the welcome template on there. I would like to be an admin because it would help me deal with vandalism easier.

Candidate's acceptance: I accept this nomination because my time on this Wikipedia has been of good use.

Oppose

1. File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose I Oppose for the following reasons:

   1. User's first edit was on 25 December 2020, a few days ago
   2. Posting "WARNING" Messages on user talkpages of owners of bots, claming that they are malfunctioning, when there does not seem to be any malfunction. See an example here
   3. Only 75 Edits as of this writing
   4. Has not been here for more than 3 months
   5. There's more reasons, but I won't list them all here

   On a side note, I appreciate the enthusiasm this user has for this project, and I hope they stay, and become familiar with this project, and one day they will be an admin. Please also note that this shouldn't discourage you, I failed my RFA 2 times before. Please keep up your good work and stick around. You may wish to read the RFA guide in the future if you want to re-apply, it can be found here.--Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 21:06, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

2. File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose for the following reasons:
   • Has been active here only a few days.
   • The user made two uncivil replies after I (1) left the user a message pointing out a couple of nonstandard things they had done and asking that they use the standard methods and (2) noticed that they were new here and invited them to look at the list I keep of things that are different here.
   • After I left a warning message for the user about making a change that was not in simple English, the user made this reply which, while perhaps not uncivil, is certainly not in the spirit of being cooperative.
   • The user's reply to the RFD for an article they created didn't show any understanding of notability requirements.
3. In short, this user does not appear to be the kind of person I would want to see as an admin. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:02, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
4. File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose per above. --Saroj Uprety (talk) 07:11, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
5. File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose I appreciate your enthusiasm in counter-vandalism efforts but per the reasons above I don't think you're ready to be an administrator. A few other points I'd like to make:
   • making threats like this isn't a behavior I'd expect from an admin
   • In your userpage you stated that you are a member of The Fine Bas. Creating an article of your own band may present a conflict of interest.

6. File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose I am very new here but I have been editing on Wookieepedia for a while so I know my way around. I have also traveled around other wikis on Fandom and I've seen a lot of things. One of the most common things I see is a new user or in experienced one try to make a power grab for their own good. This is a very clear one. The user is trying to push themselves to the top instead of improving the wiki. Shame. (Hellothere4 (talk) 15:02, 28 December 2020 (UTC))
7. File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose The user did have a lot of enthusiasm for this Wikipedia, but there are definitely reasons to oppose this user as an admin.
   • Put on user page that the user had patroller rights, despite the user just joining.
   • Creation of article involving themselves.
   • Not very cooperative on talk page, mainly towards Auntof6.
   • Not cooperative on RfD.
   • (Probably the most important reason) The user is currently blocked.

   There are also other reasons, most of them pointed out above. I just added some that weren't pointed out above. Belwine • 💬 • 📜 15:22, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Comments

I was not claiming bots were malfunctioning, but I will stick around. Thank you. ScrapheapNinjaShuriken77 (talk) 06:43, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
