Nothing444

Voice your opinion (talk page) (0/6/0); Scheduled to end 23:58, 30 April 2008 (UTC) Closed per WP:SNOW Enigma ^message Review 00:11, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Nothing444 (talk · contribs) - Hello. I am pleased top introduce myself as Nothing444, stub categorizer, founder of WP:LINY, vandalism fighter, and article writer. I have nominated myself for adminship because I want to help the encyclopedia, and I thought I could use the tools. I had a block for not contributing to the mainsapce, but I had a second chance, and if I win I'll be giving second chances. Nothing444 23:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept Nothing444 00:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

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 admin work do you intend to take part in?

A: I intend to take part in deleting articles that failed in the AfD, MfD, etc, as well as protecting pages that suceeded the requests for protection page.

2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

A: My best contributions are stub categorization, because it has really helped clear out the backlog of stubs at Category:Stubs.

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, I've had recent disagreements with Nick, but I tried not to fight. I asked him for some suggestions and followed them.

• One more note: RfA is not something to be "won" or "lost". It's not an award, either. It's a set of tools given to trusted contributors who would be able to do more if they had them. Enigma ^message Review 00:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Strong Oppose per your previous RfA and per lack of serious contributions to encyclopedia. Enigma ^message Review 00:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
2. Sorry, but you're not ready yet. First, the block was too recent for comfort. Second, you seem to think Wikipedia is a game which is accentuated by the phrase "...if I win..." in your self-nomination statement. Simply put, you're not ready. Sorry, Malinaccier (talk) 00:07, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
3. Strong Oppose_{(edit conflict times 2, aww I was hoping to be first)} Again? I suggest you withdraw this and come back in a few months, your last block was what, a week ago? You're not ready period. The Dominator^Talk_Edits 00:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
4. Too many recent blocks. Mr.Z-man 00:09, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
5. Your involvement in the recent "cabals" drama didn't impress me. You have a tendency to treat Wikipedia like a game; Your behaviour exemplifies the comments by some critics that we are increasingly becoming an MMORPG. Your block log is also far too recent. -- Naerii 00:11, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
6. Oppose Blocks, socking, lack of experience or understanding the place. MBisanz ^talk 00:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
