Hello Ronjohn. I noticed you, or another editor created a Requests for Adminship page under your name, and I was wondering as to what the status of that request might be. Please note that new users are rarely successful at RfA and that the Wikipedia editing community sets an extremely high bar for potential administrator candidates. That being said, I strongly urge you to read Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship, Wikipedia:Adminship is not for new users, and Wikipedia:Not now, and ask you to reconsider whether you really do wish to go through with your candidacy; please understand that you stand very little to no chance of passing RfA at this point and that you are strongly discouraged from running for adminship. If you are still intent on running for adminship with that request and are absolutely positive this is what you want, please do let me know; otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete the RfA page for you in about a week or so from today.

- If you are determined to run for adminship despite my advice, you will need to transclude your RfA at
WP:RFA by following the instructions at
WP:RFA/N.

- Failure to listen to wise counsel would not only torpedo this RFA, but any future one. Actually running for RFA when you don't meet even the most minimum of criteria would probably add another 12,000 required edits and at least a year before you could even think of trying again. RFA is not a big deal - but the community is pretty serious about how it selects admins (

Hi there. I noticed you put your RfA inside of someone else's RfA, which I've undone. I see other editors above have suggested you might want to wait until you have more experience before you request adminship; I agree with them 100% and hope you will listen to their advice. 28bytes ( talk) 00:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
- I'll give you 24hrs to properly transclude your RFA. If after that it's still non-transcluded, we can readily assume it can be deleted. It's been "in progress" long enough ( talk→ BWilkins ←track) 23:41, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
If you want to activate your request for adminship, you need to go to this page and place:
{{Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ronjohn}}
under the section that ends:
---- <!-- Please leave this horizontal rule and place rfa transclusion below - -->

Speedy deletion nomination of Max Hardberger
A tag has been placed on Max Hardberger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}} to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Removing Speedy at V-Nasty
Hi Ronjohn, you recently removed a deletion tag from V-Nasty. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot ( talk) 00:57, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

RfA closed per WP:NOTNOW
I'm sorry, but I have closed your RfA early. I hope you don't take this personally, because if you were to continue to contribute to Wikipedia in a positive manner, you would be able to submit a successful RfA in the future. Good luck! B music ian 04:26, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
- This is somewhat unfortunate. WP:NOTNOW is really intended for situations in which an inexperienced editor strays into RFA without knowing what they are getting into. Ronjohn was given ample warning that his RFA had little chance of success but was insistent that it went ahead. I had hoped the RFA would have been allowed to run long enough to make it clear that the intention behind the advice offered was genuine.
Per your request, I have reopened your RfA. Best of luck. Also, please don't use capital letters on my talk page...that can be perceived as shouting... B music ian 09:53, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
I am sorry, but I have closed your Request for adminship prematurely. Simply put, you only have 842 edits on Wikipedia; while your edit count isn't the only determining factor, and numerous people have their own personal standards by which they judge RfA candidates, this particular RfA was all but assured of not passing.
I am sorry about this, and I hope you don't take it personally. If you continue to contribute to the project in a positive fashion, I am confident that you would be able to submit a successful RfA in the future. You may wish to consider applying for an evaluation by other Wikipedia editors for feedback on how to obtain the necessary experience. Once you are ready to request adminship again, there is a great admin coaching program available, as well as a guide to requests for adminship.
If you have any other questions about becoming an administrator, please don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck! — Tom Morris ( talk) 14:19, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Ronjohn. I notice that you requested that your RfA was kept open when it had previously been closed. Tom closed it as it was definitely not going to pass, meaning that keeping it open is disruptive - effectively using the ignore all rules clause which one of Wikipedia's principles. I was in the process of doing exactly the same myself, but got called away from my desk.
- This doesn't mean that you will never become an administrator, but I think you'll need to change your attitude a little before you do become one. And even if you don't, there's plenty to do here instead. If you'd like to discuss things further, feel free to give me a shout. Cheers WormTT · ( talk) 14:54, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

You are being treated the same as anyone else. It is in nobody's interest to keep an RFA open when it is clear it has no chance whatsoever to succeed. The initial WP:NOTNOW was applied prematurely, given your apparent refusal to accept the advice offered by others that it would not succeed. After 23 opposes and no supports, WP:SNOW is clearly in effect. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 15:19, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Hey Ronjohn. I'm sorry this has worked out so badly for you. Can I just say, here and now, there was absolutely nothing wrong with you submitting that RfA. Anyone wanting to take that up, can take it up with me. You do not need any "approval" from anyone to run for RfA. However, it was doomed to failure - as a number of editors have told you. These editors have watched many RfAs, and can see general trends. In fact, I've done a lot of research on RfA, which can be found at RfA Reform. When it is clear that something is going to fail, we do stop the process, because there is no good reason to carry it on - which is something that's happened here. Now, we let it run for a while to show it was going to fail, but carrying it on for a week would just be bureaucracy for the sake of it. This would be true for any editor, and I can give you a number of examples if you like.
With regards to the "attitude" comment, (at least in theory) Wikipedia is a community, no one voice is more important than others. It's the points that are made that matter. However, when one voice ignores what the community as a whole is telling them, it causes disruption. That doesn't mean you are wrong, or that you have to lie about your views, but what it does mean is that you have to accept that the rest of the community is saying and give it a rest. I've got your page watchlisted, I'll try to help out if I can. WormTT · ( talk) 07:57, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:
I did nothing wrong I was told by a Wikipedia editor that I could use youtube as a reference here: "Because we don't allow youtube videos as reliable sources, it would only be of use if it was Lola herself saying "I was a stripper". If she was a stripper, there will be a real source out there somewhere. I will say it again, revert yourself immediately-- Jac16888 Talk 00:08, 24 March 2012 (UTC)" and I did just that with a bit of coatracking, but I didn't know what coatracking was until after, so when another editor changed my edit a bit I left it alone then another editor came by and removed it all together with no explanation or discussion. Bwilkins has been targeting me ever since I put a RFA in. I'm not sure why.

Ronjohn, please wait for a consensus before restoring Christopher Jordan Dorner.
As I pointed out to you, under WP:PERP:
- A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person.
Therefore, any information on Dorner should be placed in the existing 2013 Southern California shootings article, because Dorner is not known for anything outside the shootings, and he is directly relevant to the article.
Furthermore, WP:PERP says the following:
- A living person accused of a crime is presumed not guilty unless and until this is decided by a court of law. Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator when no conviction is yet secured.
Dorner's guilt has not been proven by a court of law. He has only been named as the suspect in the shootings. To create an article on him implies that he is guilty before he has had a chance to stand trial.
Now, to address your point about James Eagen Holmes, who has a page despite only being known for his crime.
- Firstly, Holmes has been formally charged and ordered to stand trial. Dorner, on the other hand, is currently a fugitive. His guilt has not been proven; for all we know, someone killed him a month ago and took advantage of his emotional state to write up a phony manifesto and carry out a spree killing against the LAPD. I know that sounds like bad fiction (it's straight off the top of my head), but we can't prove that it is not the case. The page on Dorner should not be created until such time as he is committed to stand trial. To create a page beforehand presumes that he is guilty, which is not the way the legal system works - even if the case against Dorner never examines Wikipedia.
- Secondly, the current version of Holmes' page weighs in at 41,217kB. In other words, there is more than enough content on that page to justify a split from the 2012 Aurora shootings article. On the other hand, your work on a Dorner page is just 1,210kB. Compared to Holmes, we know nothing almost about Dorner.
Finally, I feel I should inform you that constantly reverting the edits to Christopher Jordan Dorner so that it is its own page (rather than a redirect) is edit-warring, and may get you referred to the adminstrators and possibly blocked from editing. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 07:22, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- 1) The discussion to gather consensus is here.
- 2) We cannot create a page for Dorner on the basis that he might be killed before he stands trial. That is a case of trying to predict the future, which is not what Wikipedia is for.
- 3) There is nothing known about Dorner that cannot go in the article about his alleged crimes.
- 4) Of course I'm not an admin. I wouldn't be an admin even if they paid me to do it.
- In the meantime, I have put in a request for page protection on the Dorner "article". Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 11:54, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- I requested that you stop editing the page to form an article of its own, and instead go to Talk:Christopher Jordan Dorner to discuss creating a full page there. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 11:59, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ronjohn,
as you may have noticed at WP:ORCP, attempting a RFA right now would be a lost cause. And would likely actually engender some ill will against you. Would you like me to delete the RFA page you created? If you decide to try again after addressing some of the problems described at WP:NOTYET, you can always recreate one in the future. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 15:10, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- I'm trying to be polite and yet still be clear. There is a zero percent chance of your RFA passing right now. You don't have 1/10th the minimum expected edit count. Please read the advice in the section below, and the advice in
WP:NOTYET. If you try to start it anyway, it will be closed by someone else in a couple of hours, and people will think poorly of you - because your judgement in starting it would be bad - and that opinion could linger for quite a while. That would be a shame, and a waste. So your choices are basically:
- Start the RFA anyway, and it will tank.
- Ask an admin to delete it, and then it will be as if you never created it.
- Ask an admin to move it to your user space, and then you can work on in sometime in the future (to be honest, I'm thinking a minimum of 1-2 years).
- Continue to not respond, and the MFD will likely result in option 2 or 3.
- I'd recommend options 2 or 3 equally, whichever you like better. Please let me know (or any admin, if you prefer dealing with someone else). -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 15:44, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
Having labeled this section as I have, I should go on to say that while there are no firmly laid down requirements, there are a number of expectations held by users here; failing on these will very seriously impede your approval as an admin. You have made only a little over one thousand edits; most editors here expect to see around five thousand manual edits on your record. And your editing rate is roughly on average one edit every three days. Using edit summaries is not mandatory, but certainly is recommended. you only add a summary in about 20% of your edits. It is expected that you will spend some time in admin-related areas, such as AfD, CSD, AIV, etc. I understand that your military duties may leave insufficient time to devote enough to Wikipedia. If this is so perhaps you should delay further application until you have more time to devote to the encyclopedia.---- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 22:10, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Moomoo Inc.
Hello, Ronjohn. I just wanted to let you know that
Draft:Moomoo Inc., a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for
article space.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Your draft article, Draft:Moomoo Inc.
Hello, Ronjohn. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Moomoo Inc.".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 04:16, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Emmit Till body.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:10, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello Ronjohn. I noticed you, or another editor created a Requests for Adminship page under your name, and I was wondering as to what the status of that request might be. Please note that new users are rarely successful at RfA and that the Wikipedia editing community sets an extremely high bar for potential administrator candidates. That being said, I strongly urge you to read Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship, Wikipedia:Adminship is not for new users, and Wikipedia:Not now, and ask you to reconsider whether you really do wish to go through with your candidacy; please understand that you stand very little to no chance of passing RfA at this point and that you are strongly discouraged from running for adminship. If you are still intent on running for adminship with that request and are absolutely positive this is what you want, please do let me know; otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete the RfA page for you in about a week or so from today. Eagles 24/7 (C) 19:49, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

- Failure to listen to wise counsel would not only torpedo this RFA, but any future one. Actually running for RFA when you don't meet even the most minimum of criteria would probably add another 12,000 required edits and at least a year before you could even think of trying again. RFA is not a big deal - but the community is pretty serious about how it selects admins (

Hi there. I noticed you put your RfA inside of someone else's RfA, which I've undone.

Speedy deletion nomination of Max Hardberger
A tag has been placed on Max Hardberger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}} to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Removing Speedy at V-Nasty
Hi Ronjohn, you recently removed a deletion tag from V-Nasty. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot ( talk) 00:57, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

RfA closed per WP:NOTNOW
I'm sorry, but I have closed your RfA early. I hope you don't take this personally, because if you were to continue to contribute to Wikipedia in a positive manner, you would be able to submit a successful RfA in the future. Good luck! B music ian 04:26, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
- This is somewhat unfortunate. WP:NOTNOW is really intended for situations in which an inexperienced editor strays into RFA without knowing what they are getting into. Ronjohn was given ample warning that his RFA had little chance of success but was insistent that it went ahead. I had hoped the RFA would have been allowed to run long enough to make it clear that the intention behind the advice offered was genuine.
Per your request, I have reopened your RfA. Best of luck. Also, please don't use capital letters on my talk page...that can be perceived as shouting... B music ian 09:53, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
I am sorry, but I have closed your Request for adminship prematurely. Simply put, you only have 842 edits on Wikipedia; while your edit count isn't the only determining factor, and numerous people have their own personal standards by which they judge RfA candidates, this particular RfA was all but assured of not passing.
I am sorry about this, and I hope you don't take it personally. If you continue to contribute to the project in a positive fashion, I am confident that you would be able to submit a successful RfA in the future. You may wish to consider applying for an evaluation by other Wikipedia editors for feedback on how to obtain the necessary experience. Once you are ready to request adminship again, there is a great admin coaching program available, as well as a guide to requests for adminship.
If you have any other questions about becoming an administrator, please don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck! — Tom Morris ( talk) 14:19, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Ronjohn. I notice that you requested that your RfA was kept open when it had previously been closed. Tom closed it as it was definitely not going to pass, meaning that keeping it open is disruptive - effectively using the ignore all rules clause which one of Wikipedia's principles. I was in the process of doing exactly the same myself, but got called away from my desk.
- This doesn't mean that you will never become an administrator, but I think you'll need to change your attitude a little before you do become one. And even if you don't, there's plenty to do here instead. If you'd like to discuss things further, feel free to give me a shout. Cheers WormTT · ( talk) 14:54, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

You are being treated the same as anyone else. It is in nobody's interest to keep an RFA open when it is clear it has no chance whatsoever to succeed. The initial WP:NOTNOW was applied prematurely, given your apparent refusal to accept the advice offered by others that it would not succeed. After 23 opposes and no supports, WP:SNOW is clearly in effect. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 15:19, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Hey Ronjohn. I'm sorry this has worked out so badly for you. Can I just say, here and now, there was absolutely nothing wrong with you submitting that RfA. Anyone wanting to take that up, can take it up with me. You do not need any "approval" from anyone to run for RfA. However, it was doomed to failure - as a number of editors have told you. These editors have watched many RfAs, and can see general trends. In fact, I've done a lot of research on RfA, which can be found at RfA Reform. When it is clear that something is going to fail, we do stop the process, because there is no good reason to carry it on - which is something that's happened here. Now, we let it run for a while to show it was going to fail, but carrying it on for a week would just be bureaucracy for the sake of it. This would be true for any editor, and I can give you a number of examples if you like.
With regards to the "attitude" comment, (at least in theory) Wikipedia is a community, no one voice is more important than others. It's the points that are made that matter. However, when one voice ignores what the community as a whole is telling them, it causes disruption. That doesn't mean you are wrong, or that you have to lie about your views, but what it does mean is that you have to accept that the rest of the community is saying and give it a rest. I've got your page watchlisted, I'll try to help out if I can. WormTT · ( talk) 07:57, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I did nothing wrong I was told by a Wikipedia editor that I could use youtube as a reference here: "Because we don't allow youtube videos as reliable sources, it would only be of use if it was Lola herself saying "I was a stripper". If she was a stripper, there will be a real source out there somewhere. I will say it again, revert yourself immediately-- Jac16888 Talk 00:08, 24 March 2012 (UTC)" and I did just that with a bit of coatracking, but I didn't know what coatracking was until after, so when another editor changed my edit a bit I left it alone then another editor came by and removed it all together with no explanation or discussion. Bwilkins has been targeting me ever since I put a RFA in. I'm not sure why.

Ronjohn, please wait for a consensus before restoring Christopher Jordan Dorner.
As I pointed out to you, under WP:PERP:
- A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person.
Therefore, any information on Dorner should be placed in the existing 2013 Southern California shootings article, because Dorner is not known for anything outside the shootings, and he is directly relevant to the article.
Furthermore, WP:PERP says the following:
- A living person accused of a crime is presumed not guilty unless and until this is decided by a court of law. Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator when no conviction is yet secured.
Dorner's guilt has not been proven by a court of law. He has only been named as the suspect in the shootings. To create an article on him implies that he is guilty before he has had a chance to stand trial.
Now, to address your point about James Eagen Holmes, who has a page despite only being known for his crime.
- Firstly, Holmes has been formally charged and ordered to stand trial. Dorner, on the other hand, is currently a fugitive. His guilt has not been proven; for all we know, someone killed him a month ago and took advantage of his emotional state to write up a phony manifesto and carry out a spree killing against the LAPD. I know that sounds like bad fiction (it's straight off the top of my head), but we can't prove that it is not the case. The page on Dorner should not be created until such time as he is committed to stand trial. To create a page beforehand presumes that he is guilty, which is not the way the legal system works - even if the case against Dorner never examines Wikipedia.
- Secondly, the current version of Holmes' page weighs in at 41,217kB. In other words, there is more than enough content on that page to justify a split from the 2012 Aurora shootings article. On the other hand, your work on a Dorner page is just 1,210kB. Compared to Holmes, we know nothing almost about Dorner.
Finally, I feel I should inform you that constantly reverting the edits to Christopher Jordan Dorner so that it is its own page (rather than a redirect) is edit-warring, and may get you referred to the adminstrators and possibly blocked from editing. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 07:22, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- 1) The discussion to gather consensus is here.
- 2) We cannot create a page for Dorner on the basis that he might be killed before he stands trial. That is a case of trying to predict the future, which is not what Wikipedia is for.
- 3) There is nothing known about Dorner that cannot go in the article about his alleged crimes.
- 4) Of course I'm not an admin. I wouldn't be an admin even if they paid me to do it.
- In the meantime, I have put in a request for page protection on the Dorner "article". Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 11:54, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- I requested that you stop editing the page to form an article of its own, and instead go to Talk:Christopher Jordan Dorner to discuss creating a full page there. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 11:59, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Walk with Me (Rotimi album) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created,
Walk with Me (Rotimi album), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi Ronjohn,
as you may have noticed at WP:ORCP, attempting a RFA right now would be a lost cause. And would likely actually engender some ill will against you. Would you like me to delete the RFA page you created? If you decide to try again after addressing some of the problems described at WP:NOTYET, you can always recreate one in the future. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 15:10, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- I'm trying to be polite and yet still be clear. There is a zero percent chance of your RFA passing right now. You don't have 1/10th the minimum expected edit count. Please read the advice in the section below, and the advice in
WP:NOTYET. If you try to start it anyway, it will be closed by someone else in a couple of hours, and people will think poorly of you - because your judgement in starting it would be bad - and that opinion could linger for quite a while. That would be a shame, and a waste. So your choices are basically:
- Start the RFA anyway, and it will tank.
- Ask an admin to delete it, and then it will be as if you never created it.
- Ask an admin to move it to your user space, and then you can work on in sometime in the future (to be honest, I'm thinking a minimum of 1-2 years).
- Continue to not respond, and the MFD will likely result in option 2 or 3.
- I'd recommend options 2 or 3 equally, whichever you like better. Please let me know (or any admin, if you prefer dealing with someone else). -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 15:44, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
Having labeled this section as I have, I should go on to say that while there are no firmly laid down requirements, there are a number of expectations held by users here; failing on these will very seriously impede your approval as an admin. You have made only a little over one thousand edits; most editors here expect to see around five thousand manual edits on your record. And your editing rate is roughly on average one edit every three days. Using edit summaries is not mandatory, but certainly is recommended. you only add a summary in about 20% of your edits. It is expected that you will spend some time in admin-related areas, such as AfD, CSD, AIV, etc. I understand that your military duties may leave insufficient time to devote enough to Wikipedia. If this is so perhaps you should delay further application until you have more time to devote to the encyclopedia.---- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 22:10, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Moomoo Inc.
Hello, Ronjohn. I just wanted to let you know that
Draft:Moomoo Inc., a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for
article space.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Bot0612 ( talk) 05:34, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Hello, Ronjohn,
An editor tagged this for deletion as an abandoned RFA but I untagged it and thought I'd ask you whether you would like this page deleted. Let me know. Liz Read! Talk! 21:53, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:Moomoo Inc.
Hello, Ronjohn. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Moomoo Inc.".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 04:16, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Emmit Till body.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:10, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
