Flarn2005 ( talk · contribs) – I think I would make a good administrator because although I have a history of vandalism, I promise I will not vandalize again, and that I have made some good contributions. Flarn 21:54, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept the self-nomination. Flarn 21:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- Note that the candidate has withdrawn after the first few votes by removing this subpage from WP:RFA: [1] FreplySpang (talk) 22:22, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Support
Oppose
- Although entusiastic, oppose. I might also urge you to withdraw this nom. -- LV (Dark Mark) 22:05, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose. Agree with LV that this premature nomination should be withdrawn. Not much experience, and recent vandalism: [2]. FreplySpang (talk) 22:08, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- I have to agree with those above - adminship requires the trust of the community because it includes powers that can inflict great harm on Wikipedia. It will take a looong stretch of good contributions to overcome your history of vandalism, which appears to have run up to
the beginning of last monththis week! That aside, you have fewer than 500 total edits, and should really have much more than that before you consider an adminship bid. I wish you the best of luck in the future, tho. BD2412 T 22:10, 28 December 2005 (UTC) - Oppose, obviously. Last vandalism was 3 days ago. — Cleared as filed. 22:11, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Neutral
Comments
- This user has ~446 edits. I urge him to withdraw or this nomination to be closed as per the Wikipedia:Snowball clause. I also prompt the nominee to read Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Standards in case he hasn't. While I believe he would make a good administrator, IMO this is too early.

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
- 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out
Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about
administrators and the

- A. I can't really remember many of my contributions, but I know I have been pleased about some.
- 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
- A. I have never been in any situations like this, but I will deal with it in a polite way.
