Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
- 1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
- A: Deleting articles, page protection and blocking vandals are some of the places that I plan to do work at. AIV can get backlogged quickly, and there have been times where I have reported a vandal to there, the page is filled with reported vandals, and no administrators have been around for since half a hour. I want to help clear that backlog instead of have to wait for someone else to do it. I’d like to do work at page protection. because, I have been having problems with vandalism on my user talk page.
Being able to take care of these directly would save the need of going through a Administrator.--Zink Dawg -- 23:26, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- 2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- 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?
- Additional optional questions from Backslash Forwardslash
- 4. A number of editors are edit warring over the inclusion of a paragraph on an historians biography. The information does not violate our BLP policies; the concern is about relevance. The editor who is removing the paragraph has been reported to AIV. What administrative actions, if any, do you take?

Thank you for participating in my RfA. I made a mistake of accepting the nomination. I am not ready to be an administrator. I have a better chance of succeeding if i wait a year or so.--Zink Dawg -- 02:40, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support
Oppose
- Oppose I saw the candidate accepted on their talk page, but they haven't here yet so I am not sure if I should oppose yet, but I will be bold and just say it. It is obvious this candidate is off to a good start, but emphasis on start. Out of 1444 edits, 328 have been automated. The candidate also has a history of reverting users without warning them. The candidate has also only really been active a little over a month. With more manual edits, more experience, and giving proper warnings, I could support this candidate a few months down the road. As it is yet, there just isn't enough to judge trustworthyness just yet.--talk) 23:04, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral
- To be completely honest, I am starting to regret this. But don't let that think I will downright oppose you nor approve. My word of advice is to withdraw this nomination for your sake and not mine. If you choose to take chances then I give you these words, "I wish you luck." ☭Pickbothmanlol☭ 23:54, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
