98:) – Here goes....-clears throat- Hello, My name is Skater and this account has been around since early 07 but went vacant for 2 or so years. Since my return I've wanted to be an Admin, it's my ultimate goal in Knowledge (XXG) (besides building an awesome encyclopedia!.) I'm mainly a vandal fighter and a regular at

case as suggested above, but I'm still afraid I can't support. Personally, I felt no inclination to read on past "...I've wanted to be an Admin, it's my ultimate goal in
Knowledge (XXG)...". Becoming an admin should never be one's "goal". This, combined with a relative lack of experience, leads me to

agree completely with the specific criteria laid out above by iMatthew, nearly all editors do desire to see a sufficient level of "knowledge and experience". Also, per Julian, your comment regarding adminship being your "ultimate goal" is (unintentially, I'm sure) offputting. In examining your

The combination of your "happy vandal killing" phrase on your talkpage and the nomination statement with Q2 promising us "vandalism sprees" nearly put me in the oppose section (I'm assuming from your editing record you meant "vandalism cleanup sprees"). But you have a clean block log, I've gone

For the most part, it requires at least 3,000 edits in a variety of areas to learn policy and guidelines well enough to attempt adminship. Nominees need to show the ability to contribute a number of significant edits to build the encyclopedia.

NOTNOW or otherwise I agree that the "ultimate goal" bit put me off straight away. Nothing concerning on talk or archives, clean block log etc. but general inexperience concerns and flacid answers to the questions lead me to oppose
770:, not enough consistency in your contribution amounts, almost 50% of your contributions are to user talk pages, and you have almost no projectspace contributions. Please come back in six months after addressing those concerns. →

The Admin tools allow the user to block and unblock other editors, delete and undelete pages and protect and unprotect pages. Nominees will therefore do well to gain experience and familiarity with such areas as

Knowledge (XXG) and gain a bit more overall experience. Good luck! –

work, I do believe that you are a very valuable asset to the
Knowledge (XXG) community, and I am sure that you will continue to be a productive member. Thank you for your candidacy. —
124:
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve
Knowledge (XXG) as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
167:
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?
