Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

A: I plan to help with the reversion of vandalism, attaining an admin-ship would also help me to contribute to many more projects.

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

A: I created an article for my local high school, though I was fairly new at the time, not acquainted with how Wikipedia is structured. So I did require help on that. It felt significant to me because it was a contribution to my community.

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: In the past, I did have some conflicts. I handled them poorly. But at present I believe that I have the maturity to do a lot better.

Discussion

Support

1. Moral support - I welcome your enthusiasm for the project and encourage you to make use of the opposers' constructive criticism. This and then this raise questions about maturity, and I otherwise generally echo the opposers' comments. Airplaneman ✈ 03:31, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
2. Moral support, per above. Connormah^talk 04:24, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Oppose - I am sorry, while you appear to be on the right track, you don't show the experience needed to become an admin at this time. Get involved in other areas and show that you understand policies. I look forward to you coming back here and reapplying in the future. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 03:09, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
2. Oppose - Sorry, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you do not have nearly enough experience for adminship. Please review WP:NOTNOW. P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 03:10, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
3. Oppose. Concerns with experience and policy knowledge. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 03:13, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
4. Oppose. I'm not as strict on experience as other users, but under 500 edits is simply not enough. Esteffect (talk) 03:14, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
5. Oppose You don't have enough of a history yet to indicate whether you should be trusted with the tools. Townlake (talk) 03:15, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
6. Oppose – Not enough experience; recommend closing per WP:NOTNOW. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 03:18, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
7. Strong oppose NOTNOW; answers to the questions demonstrate a lack of experience throughout the project (you haven't explored around enough to see how weak your answers would be considered by others), and you can't seem to follow the direction in the RfA template saying "YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE USER", unless "JDONT" (which doesn't even have your username in it) is your self-description. Simply put, you don't understand what is expected of an admin quite yet. Also, your list of significant contributions includes Houston Food Bank, which I cannot find any edit from you in the history, nor can I in Houston. Bay City High School is in horrible shape, and File:Bay City High School.gif says both PD and gives a CC license, but does not indicate a clear source. —fetch·comms 03:18, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
8. Oppose - I to appreciate your enthusiasm, but much more experience all around are needed, Good luck in the future. Mlpearc powwow 04:03, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
