'''Final: (1/8/2) closed per [[WP:SNOW]] by non-bureaucrat''' ~ [[User:Mazca|<span style="color:#228b22;">'''m'''a'''z'''c'''a'''</span>]] <sup>[[User_talk:Mazca|talk]]</sup> 09:41, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

====Nomination====
{{User|Audi152}}&nbsp;– Audi152, I have been on Wikipedia since May of 2009. I have a good experience with Wikipedia from previous accounts. I have a special interest in automobiles, (hence the name Audi152) although I do not perform much edits to those subjects. I have experience on Twinkle, Friendly, and HotCat. I have performed several edits minor and dramatic edits. I have not been in an editing conflict on this account, but I know proper ways to handle those from again other accounts. Although, some may say that I have not been here very long I feel that I know almost all there is to know. I know that in a case of Vandalism the page is to be reverted and the user who vandalized it is to be warned. I hope that I receive the honor of becoming an administrator     [[User:Audi152|Audi152]] ([[User talk:Audi152|talk]]) 01:03, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

:'''2.''' What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
::'''A:''' My best contributions to Wikipedia are probably on schools throughout Louisiana. I currently live in Louisiana so I know the schools almost like the back of my hand.

====Discussion====

*The outlook for this rfa doesn't appear to be looking all that great...suggest early close by [[WP:SNOW]] or [[WP:NOTNOW]]. -<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS">'''[[User:Fastily|<big>F</big><small>ASTILY</small>]]'''</span>  <sup><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"><small>[[User talk:Fastily|(T<small>ALK</small>)]]</small></span></sup> 06:46, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

#'''Oppose''' ah, no. Previous accounts? [[User:Craftyminion|Crafty]] ([[User talk:Craftyminion|talk]]) 04:40, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
#'''Oppose'''. Sorry. 61 article edits is far too little. You need to have a lot more experience. Also, you keep saying "on this account"; You should list your other accounts. [[User:Equazcion|Equazcion]] ([[User talk:Equazcion|talk]]) 04:51, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
#I'm sorry, but the answer to question 3 ("I will warn them and protect the page") indicates you need more experience and knowledge of policy. And what are these other accounts (which I hope are not in violation of [[WP:SOCK]]) we are talking about? From your answers, I get the impression that you have got into trouble with them. ≈&nbsp;[[User:Chamal_N|'''C'''hamal]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Chamal_N|<sup><span style="color:#8B008B;">talk</span></sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Chamal_N|¤]] 04:54, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
#'''Oppose''' per not-even-three-digits article edits and also response to Q3 - "not on this account". -[[User:SpacemanSpiff|<span style="color:#BA181F;">Spaceman</span>]]'''[[User_talk:SpacemanSpiff|<span style="color:#2B18BA;">Spiff</span>]]''' 05:38, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
#'''Oppose'''. per the above.  Judging by your answers to the questions above, it seems like you have been editing with multiple accounts, otherwise known as [[WP:SOCK|sockpuppeting]].  In case you weren't aware before, Wikipedia policy dictates against having multiple, undeclared accounts registered to one user.  Because socking is considered a serious offense in the Wikipedia community, I'm afraid I cannot, in good conscious, support you in this rfa.

#:That is not, in fact, the policy. [[User:Irbisgreif|Irbisgreif]] ([[User talk:Irbisgreif|talk]]) 06:47, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
#::Yes, socks are permitted in certain circumstances. Also, we don't know that he's editing with multiple accounts simultaneously; He may just have had a previous account and since created a new one. We need more information before we can determine if he's violating policy. [[User:Equazcion|Equazcion]] ([[User talk:Equazcion|talk]]) 06:50, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
#:::True, there are certain instances where socks are allowed - but I'm addressing the issue in a general sense. -<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS">'''[[User:Fastily|<big>F</big><small>ASTILY</small>]]'''</span>  <sup><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"><small>[[User talk:Fastily|(T<small>ALK</small>)]]</small></span></sup> 06:56, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
#::::Multiple accounts (not socks) are allowed in a number circumstances (and actually pretty useful for keeping separate watchlists); I agree with the comments that suggest not biting him at the outset for having them.--[[User:Epeefleche|Epeefleche]] ([[User talk:Epeefleche|talk]]) 09:17, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
#'''Oppose''', have some concerns re above. Would also like to see more experience. '''[[User:Cirt|Cirt]]''' ([[User talk:Cirt|talk]]) 08:45, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
#'''Oppose''', I think we need a more articulate person to be an admin.--[[User:Epeefleche|Epeefleche]] ([[User talk:Epeefleche|talk]]) 09:17, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

#Audi is [[User:YoMamma6188]] (obvious from the edits). Audi, I suggest you start a new undisclosed account; contribute usefully with it and [[WP:SIGNS|avoid getting caught as a sock]]. These folks will definitely oppose you if you disclose your alts. given the disruption you have done with the old accounts, no matter how good as an editor you behave with the new one.
