Limetolime[edit]

Final: (0/8/4); Ended 01:21 9 August 2007 (UTC) - closed early per WP:SNOW. Shalom Hello 01:21, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Limetolime (talk · contribs) - I have been editing Wikipedia ever since January 2007. Although this dosen't seem like much, I have done over 1,000 edits and Have started/substantaially contributed to many artices, which you can view on my userpage. I have had problems before, but now I know the guidelines and I am willing to except my duty as a loyal wikipedian, as I always intended to be. I will follow and except whatever comes my way, because peace and sensiblity gets a person somewhere, not blackmailing or threatening a user. I want to share my knowledge and help other new users to Wikipedia, to make this encyclopedia a better place for eveyone. Limetolime 22:35, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Questions for the candidate[edit]

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: I intend to start articles requested by people, and watch over new users, images, and pages invloving movies, television, and other media. I also would like to adopt a few users, to guide them to be good wikipedians, instead of vandalisers.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: My top 5 best contributions to wikipedia would have to be (In no particular order):

I say this because I used a lot of my free time to start and contribute to these articles, and all of the info on these pages are true. I have also started/substantially contributed to many other pages, which can be viewed on my user page..

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: Well, I have to say that I have been in a fair share of conflicts, but none of them have ever made me lash out at people. If you ask any administrator that has blocked me before, they can/will tell you that I have been sensible and controlled. I plan to handle all my future conflicts as an administrator with care and quality, and I promise to take action (ex. blocking, deletion, etc.)only when necessary to another user.

General comments[edit]

Please keep criticism constructive and polite. If you are unfamiliar with the nominee, please thoroughly review Special:Contributions/Limetolime before commenting.

Discussion[edit]

Support

Oppose

  1. Oppose Blocked 3 times, one time for making an attack article which I count as "lashing out." Almost 1000 edits total here. Without the recent blocks I might have been neutral leaning toward support saying that the candidate is a little too inexperienced spreading him/herself a little too widely. Unfortunately the block log was the kicker and I'm not comfortable voting support or neutral. In the future, possibly, but not now. -WarthogDemon 23:10, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. I'm sorry, but I simply can't support, considering you have only 15 edits to the project space. [1] [2] With this limited experience, there is no way to know what (if any) experience you have with policy etc. I suggest you withdraw this RfA - it just won't pass. If you have any questions, or would like me to take a look over you before you run again, please leave a note on my talk page. Good luck, Giggy Talk 23:14, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • You simply can't oppose, but do anyway? :P Majorly (talk) 23:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • I fixed his comment to make more sense now :) SLSB talk • contrib 01:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        • And divided the count by accident. ;) -WarthogDemon 01:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose. The block log worries me, though I won't jump to any conclusions. However, none of the tasks you listed in your response to question 1 are admin tasks, so I'm not confident you properly understand the position. If this RfA does not pass, I advise you to go out and start doing all of those things you listed, particularly the mediating new users away from vandalism part, which if you have vandalised in the past as your block log suggests will be the most effective method of redeeming yourself. - Zeibura (Talk) 23:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Oppose User might have potential, but a lack of specifics in answers to several questions here, the blocks, and the general lack of experience lead me to believe he is not a solid candidate for the tools. VanTucky (talk) 23:39, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose Not enough experience. Answers in question 1 aren't stuff that only admins can do. -Lemonflash(chat) 23:54, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Oppose Per question one and per O-1. Miranda 00:21, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Oppose Blocked so very recently due to vandalism. Jmlk17 00:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Please withdraw to avoid WP:SNOW. Jmlk17 01:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Oppose I'm sorry. Not very good answers to questions. Doesn't state really what they would do as an admin. Block log says you've been blocked multiple times. Only 1,089 edits. I'm sorry. I suggest you withdraw. SLSB talk • contrib 01:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Neutral

  1. Neutral please withdraw, you are simply not ready for this role yet. Kind regards, Majorly (talk) 23:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Neutral - as per Majorly.. its safer to withdraw now seeing that your contributions and Block log is not that enticing but feel free to try again in maybe a couple of months (6 or more) since it looks very dim for you now.. :( ..--Cometstyles 23:37, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Neutral It would be best to withdraw, I will be happy to support in the future. T Rex | talk 00:09, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Neutral per Dinosaur-puppy. Please use edit summaries more frequently, as they are very helpful to other editors. Bearian 00:46, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
