TerryfaeScotland[change]

Ended on 31st May 2008

I would like to nominate myself for adminship. I've been here for a while now and I have learnt a lot about how things are done here. Terry (talk) 18:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Candidate's acceptance: Self nomination

Support[change]

Oppose[change]

  • File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - You just came back. You have been largely inactive for the past few months, and therefore, you have no grasp on any of the major issues that have been going on here over the past few months. You have only 76 deleted edits, which means that you have no need for the deletion tool, you have not partaken in vandalism reversions, which means you don't need the block or protect tools, and you have not been very active. You only have 674 edits total, with almost half of your edits being to user/user talk sections. I would like to see at least 500 edits to the mainspace and at least 1,000 edits total before I can support you. Therefore, I cannot support you at this time. Cheers, Razorflame 19:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
    File:Symbol comment vote.svg Comment - I will work on getting more edits but this is on the criteria: "There is no exact number of edits needed." As for the period of inactivity, I am reading the talk page. I have been on sometimes, anyway. I'm trying to catch up. I had exams so couldn't come on. I read some articles without logging on during that time as well to revise. --Terry (talk) 20:02, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
    File:Symbol comment vote.svg Comment - I am sorry, but that doesn't change my mind. Even though it says that there is no exact number of edits needed, most people here at Simple will oppose you for having a low edit count. I still get opposed for adminship, even though I have more than 20,000 edits, so you shouldn't feel like I'm denying you the tools just because of that. Personally, what it boils down to is this: Lack of edits show lack of experience, which shows a lack of policy (in it's most basic and boiled down form. I'm not saying that you wouldn't make a good admin, I'm just saying that I don't think you are ready yet. Cheers, Razorflame 21:02, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
    File:Symbol comment vote.svg Comment - I do not have a low amount of edits. I have several hundreds. --Terry (talk) 21:05, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
    I did not say that you had a low amount of edits, I merely said that most people will see 600 edits as not enough to do the job right. Cheers, Razorflame 21:06, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
  • File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - You have been doing very well, but you have just returned from being inactive for the past few months. You have also canvassed on my talkpage about the RFA. Before running again, please make sure you've edited regularly for a few months.--♠  Lights  talk  22:11, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

  • File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose — no reason stated as to why your having a few more buttons would be useful. Please clarify this and address the concerns others have expressed above. Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 08:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
  • File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - Jack Merridew is right. I see no reason indicating you need the tools; Lights has a point there too. - Huji reply 15:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
  • File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose -per most people. The life of brian (talk) 19:23, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
  • File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose I think you need to concentrate more on editing in the mainspace rather than the userspace. Malinaccier (talk) 19:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
  • File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose Canvassing, need more mainspace edits, I suggest you make an editor review. SwirlBoy39 19:54, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
  • File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose per Runningblader. -- Creol(talk) 06:51, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
File:Symbol comment vote.svg Comment: - Runningblader supported me, though! --Terry Talk - Changes 08:29, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
File:Symbol comment vote.svg Comment: - it actually means that the reason used by runningblader in your support is the same reason he is opposing you for which just means you have a low mainspace and he is opposing you for that :) ..--Cometstyles 09:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
File:Symbol comment vote.svg Comment:- Yes your mainspace edit is low. But mine is lower :) anyways try to get your main space to 60% or higher. It might help.— This unsigned comment was added by Runningblader (talk • changes).

Comments[change]

I would like to suggest that this be closed early due to en:WP:SNOW. Razorflame 15:02, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
File:Symbol comment vote.svg Comment: Why so many File:Symbol comment vote.svg Comment: tags all of a sudden? Anyways, do this first. mC8 15:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
File:Symbol comment vote.svg Comment: — I used {{comment}} because it would be a tad improper albeit widely understandable to use File:Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose a second time; thanks for presenting a reasonable opportunity to do so. Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 09:45, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Result: Not promoted - 3 support, 11 oppose -- Creol(talk) 03:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
