Rcsprinter123 ( talk · contribs) – Hello, I’m Rcsprinter. The first time I applied to be an administrator, it transpired that contrary to my thoughts at that time, I was not a suitable candidate for the mop. This time, however, I believe that I have matured significantly both as a person and an editor, an as such, I am now worthy of the tools. But why should me saying that be enough to convince you? I’ll show you how I've improved. So, last RfA the major problem identified was my previous trouble with the area of copyright when it came to uploading media and text to Wikipedia. Since then I haven’t had one issue regarding copyright on either a picture or plagiarized text in an article. I’m hoping the time since is enough to show that I won’t return to that. Every thing I write and upload is my own work or freely-licensed, and will continue to be. There is AfDs, which I have closed in the past and a large number of which were undone or appealed because I hadn’t made the right closure. I’m not so sure I would be so great with them still, so even as an administrator I plan to keep away from them and focus on other things.
I’ll give a summary of what I do for those who weren't at the last RfA and aren’t familiar with me: I run RscprinterBot, help out new users on IRC, write pieces occasionally for the Signpost, I help out at and nominate articles to DYK, I upload pictures to illustrate articles (and create some in Inkscape too), and when it comes to content creation ( look) I am mainly transport based, centering on buses and roads. I revert vandalism, participate in AfC, hack away at backlogs, disambiguate links. A bit of everything. Rcsprinter (babble) @ 11:21, 27 August 2013 (UTC) reply

I think I've had one or two nice-enough interactions with Rc, but I've had far more unpleasant ones, most notably his MfDs of the April Fools' Day RfXs(emphasis added). Please read more carefully in the future. — PublicAmpers&( main account • talk • block) 15:34, 30 August 2013 (UTC) reply

For example, an article on a radio station should not list upcoming events, current promotions, current schedules, etc., although mention of major events, promotions or historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable) can be extrapolated to other topic areas such as bus routes. The most up-to-date information can't realistically be maintained here on Wikipedia, and readers would be better served by visiting a dedicated timetable/planning site or similar, e.g. http://www.transportdirect.info. It should also be noted that WikiProject Buses/Bus route list guide did not achieve consensus and isn't fully in accordance with NOTDIR.
Large blocks of material based purely on primary sources should be avoided) falls under what Wikipedia is not, i.e.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and therefore does not aim to contain all data or expression found elsewhere on the Internet.-- Trevj ( talk) 07:49, 30 August 2013 (UTC) reply
