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, 2 users described be as being in an edit war once, I apologized sincerely and have not done any harm to the articles since, BUT these users have caused me alot of stress, they considered my edits vandalism when the information I added to the article was true and was even on another related article, they also said I needed cititations for my edits even though the information I added was on as I said above another related article, 1 user In particular has caused me alot of stress and even gave me a ling to a page not even on wikipedia which contained a swear word and described me as this word.--John-joe123 (talk) 12:33, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Discussion

Oppose

1. Incomplete nomination. Nominator offered to nominate on their first edit [1]. Recently warned for 3RR? I'd recommend you just untransclude this - in fact it's probably deleteable as it's malformed. Pedro :  Chat  12:52, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
2. Oppose, sorry. 127 edits is not nearly enough to properly get Wikipedia policy. Also rather concerning is the nomination by a user whose only edits are to nominate you for RFA. // roux   12:55, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
3. Oppose WP:NOTNOW. Sam ^Blab 12:55, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
4. Oppose and strongly suspect that Theplaystation3dude is a sock puppet. ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 12:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
5. Strongest oppose I will probably ever make since this RfA hasn't even been made correctly and the user nominmated for adminship has very little experience, a histroy of edit warring and disruption. Also, the possibility of sock puppetry is a big negative! Suggest WP:SNOW. John Sloan (view / chat) 13:06, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
