580:(Re some comments) I admit I will never edit as frequently as some users, but I will edit wisely and daily. However, I don't have an infinite amount of time to spend on wikipedia. Do I *need* admin powers? No, I don't need them, it would just be useful. Am I, as Harro5 suggests, applying for adminship for 'status' reasons? No, that would be silly - I don't need 'wiki-status' for self fulfilment. I want adminship simply because those slightly-extra powers would be useful for my work on wiki. If I'm rejected I'll keep contributing as before. If I am accepted I'll contribute slightly more efficiently. Its your choice.
219:
449:, the replies to the standard answers seem to imply some lack of motivation. I think it's also appropriate to read up on what admin powers are before applying for them. (They don't have anything to do with slapping on delete templates, for instance.) Politeness is important for admins, IMO—well, let's say striving for politeness is, at least—and it's not polite to the community to reply nonchalantly.
577:(Sorry for late reply - I was away for the weekend) - I have been active on the "In the news" and "did you know" sections and would be happy to help maintain these. I tend to revert vandalism when I meet it, rather than seeking it out. I sometimes check out the "newpages" and slap a "delete" template on obvious nonsense.
500:
Based on your activity in the past three months, I do not see how you would currently benefit using the admin tools. You do not actively participate in VFD, RC patrol, reverting vandals, and other janitorial tasks. Also, you seem to mark most of those edits as minor with no edit summaries. Again, I
393:. I agree with Gwalla's comments, and feel that while you fulfil the requirements experience-wise for adminship. However, users should not become admins just because they feel they've gotten to a stage where they need to be seen as a sysop. If you want to be an admin, convince us!
140:. Keeps his nose clean, and has been around for ages so we know he's trustworthy. Even if he can't think of specific admin tasks he'd tackle right now (question A), I see no reason not to give him the tools even if they're only used on an ad-hoc basis. -
465:
Although his contributions show his work is strong, they also show reduced activity outside of the article space. Combined with minimal answers to the "generic questions", this makes me wonder what the candidate will do of his adminship.
373:
A long-time contributor with many edits, with a pretty clean history (going by user talk history). However, lack of activity in the
Knowledge (XXG) namespace and non-answer reply to question 1 suggest a lack of interest in admin duties.
155:. A great editor who deserves the no big deal title of admin for his work on Irish matters alone. The humour apparent in his responses to the generic questions reflects his ability to deal with stress well.
407:
Currently, your comments and your answers below do not quite convincingly explain to me why you should be promoted now and how you would help
Knowledge (XXG) using the admin tools. Please elaborate more.

608:
Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and will deal with it in the future?

316:. I don't know Seabhcan, but an apparent good record and a lack of problematic edits would lead me to think he/she could certainly be trusted with adminship. -

Adminship, but I've grown used to them over on wikicities. I'm active on Irish and Russian issues (see

179:. Adminship should be no big deal. Even if he rarely uses admin powers, it wouldn't hurt for him to have them. It's not as though they're rationed.
254:. A review of some edits, user page, and talk page all look good. Seems like someone who works well with others. Should be no big deal in this case.

Would appreciate a fuller answer (to say the least) on "generic question 1", especially given that this is a self-nom, and is to be presumed to

I've seen
Seabhcan at work on numerous occasions, and I never noticed anything that would make him unworthy of adminship.

Twenty vandalism revertions in the past month or so is a relatively low number for an admin candidate.
