Hi. I take things as I see them and saw in you a genuine desire to be constructive. In fact, that's what led me to offer to help you from the word go. I think you've undoubtedly benefited from the experience and are an almost completely different contributor to the one you once were. |

A change of username is a good way of indicating a line drawn under behaviour, and I'd recommend a fairly "vanilla" signature too, but that's up to you. I'll recommend approval of your use of AWB, though I'm not going to bulldoze it if there's well-founded opposition. |

I think adminship is not beyond hope, by any means. Most users will disregard bad behaviour done in early edit history if a substantial period of time has gone by without signs of return to it. I'd suggest you wait at least 6 months from the end of mentorship, which'll sound an age, but I think your newly mature approach will handle it fine. During that period, do the kind of things RfA looks for and avoid the things it hates. If you don't know what they are, (and even if you do) participating in a lot of RfAs will help. But more than anything, the best thing you can do is without impersonating an admin, behave like an admin. Report things appropriately at AN and ANI. Refrain from too much silliness (a little is fine, where appropriate). Caution others gently when they behave poorly. Follow policies and guidelines and get involved with consensus discussions where you disagree with them. I think you can do it. It'd give me a lot of pleasure if you did. Oh... and if I thought you were ready, I'd nominate you myself. --[[User:Dweller|Dweller]] ([[User talk:Dweller|talk]]) 14:04, 25 February 2008 (UTC) |

Mentorship
Hi. I take things as I see them and saw in you a genuine desire to be constructive. In fact, that's what led me to offer to help you from the word go. I think you've undoubtedly benefited from the experience and are an almost completely different contributor to the one you once were.
A change of username is a good way of indicating a line drawn under behaviour, and I'd recommend a fairly "vanilla" signature too, but that's up to you. I'll recommend approval of your use of AWB, though I'm not going to bulldoze it if there's well-founded opposition.
I think adminship is not beyond hope, by any means. Most users will disregard bad behaviour done in early edit history if a substantial period of time has gone by without signs of return to it. I'd suggest you wait at least 6 months from the end of mentorship, which'll sound an age, but I think your newly mature approach will handle it fine. During that period, do the kind of things RfA looks for and avoid the things it hates. If you don't know what they are, (and even if you do) participating in a lot of RfAs will help.
