Discussion

• I have transcluded this RfA for the candidate seeing as they do not know how. Tiptoety ^talk 20:14, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Did HappyCat12 ask for the RfA to be transcluded? EJF (talk) 20:17, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the conversation regarding the candidates request to transclude this? Pedro :  Chat  20:18, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't everyone jump on me at once, I guess I just assumed that adding the RfA notice to your userpage generally indicates you are ready for people to !vote, right? Feel free to untransclude if I did something wrong. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 20:21, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry dude, but best chat with the editor first IMHO. Pedro :  Chat  20:26, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Re-transcluded per this.

1. Moral Support While I appreciate your enthusiasm to help Wikipedia via adminship, you're still too new. Such few edits like you have doesn't give the community enough evidence with which we can judge your knowledge of policies and procedures. It is an extremely rare event that an editor with fewer than 2000 edits gain adminship. You'll probably want to wait several months and a couple thousand edits and then apply again. You'll also want to get more experience in admin-like areas, such as Articles For Deletion, Vandal Reporting, etc. If you ever have any questions about anything, don't hesitate to ask me.

   This is not transcluded. Let's refrain from making comments and !voting until the user wishes it to go live. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 20:25, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1. Oppose with moral support — Sorry to be the first one to do this but it's really for your own benefit to hear it! I'm sorry to oppose, I like your attitude towards this so far and you have made some positive steps in becoming a good contributor to the project and there is no reason to believe this enthusiasm won't continue into adminship. However, you do have a lack of experience in many areas since you're still so new to the site. I'd encourage you to participate more in this process, RfA, and focus heavily upon areas such as
   admin coaching at some point in the future. There are other areas to participate too, but I'll leave you to discover those on your own. You have my sincere support for any future applications unless there is any logical reason not to at that time. Happy editing! —Cyclonenim^T@lk? 21:54, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply

2. Oppose:Little or no experience in any and all areas. I really wish noobie editors would read the guide to adminship before applying; 3 or 4 times a week I see people who have ridiculously low edit counts and experience applying despite the Clear information in the guide about what is usually expected.

   A little harsh,

   don't bite the newcomers. This user has good intentions and has taken positive steps to become a welcomed member here. Try informing the user a little more kindly, yes? —Cyclonenim^T@lk? 21:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply

   1. The criticism was aimed at noobie editors in general, not HappyCat specifically. Ironholds 22:01, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
3. Oppose- as Cyclonenim said. I must say that in the three days you've been here you've got off to a good start, but you just haven't been here long enough for me to judge how you'd react in unpleasant or tricky situtations. Hang around for a while, get to know the policies and processes of the place and come back in three or four months. Reyk _YO! 22:00, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
4. Oppose - per

1. I'd suggest to the candidate to withdraw because this will definitely be closed as
   WP:NOTNOW. Great thing you want to help but currently we cannot judge whether you can be trusted with the tools. SoWhy 21:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply

2. Neutral - I don't want to disillusion you, but I recommend withdrawal of RfA, I think that you're too new for adminship. I recommend you to start contributing a little more and you'll gain experience with policies. Greetings,

3. I like your username; it reminds me of Bruce Willis's character in Lucky Number Slevin, but I doubt that was your intention. Jon513 (talk) 22:06, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
