My last account was 1.9 years old, except it didn't have an email, meaning I couldn't reset the password. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Camerontregan (talk • contribs) 07:17, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

A: Blocking/banning, protecting pages, recent changes patrol, speedy deletion requests.

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

A: Patrolling the new pages feed and recent changes patrolling. Because I'm fighting against vandalism (recent changes patrol) and copyright (new pages feed).

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: Not that I can recall.

1. Oppose. Hello Cameron. Unfortunately, with only 348 edits and an account only 2 months and 8 days old, I do not wish to support, per WP:NOTNOW. It's nice to see you doing anti-vandalism work though; keep it up! Insulam Simia (talk · contribs) 06:55, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
2. It's not my right to judge this, but I'm Oppose way though I see some good vandalism reverts made by this user. Im sorry if I say this but per WP:NOTNOW statement and stated as above will be my proof as well. Hamham31Heke!KushKush! 07:11, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
3. Oppose because it's too soon in your WP career. You mention a previous account; if you gave a link to that, so we could see what you have done in the past, that might help make you a bit more viable a candidate. I'd suggest you close this, or ask someone else to, and spend some quality time making edits, continuing to revert vandalism, poking around in the corners and learning more of what admins do and what is expected of them. If you look at old Requests for Adminship (ones that passed and ones that didn't), you'll see some good ideas of what kinds of things people look for in candidates; a number of people have formally written out their requirements and post them for all to see (you can see mine, for example, here). Once you have gained some further experience, though, do feel free to come back and try again. Cheers, Lindsay^Hello 07:43, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

   It is also recommended that you disclose any previous accounts to ArbCom when you are nomming yourself for adminship. Insulam Simia (talk · contribs) 08:59, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

4. Oppose - far too soon. GiantSnowman 08:52, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
5. Oppose and suggest rapid close as toosoon. --Stfg (talk) 09:59, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
6. Oppose. Inadequate nomination statement, regardless of the nature of the previous account. Axl ¤ [Talk] 12:46, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1. Neutral I won't move from Neutral until I know what Cameron's old account was. buffbills7701 11:22, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
2. Moral support Keep up the excellent work and maybe try again in a few months. --Jakob (Scream about the things I've broken) 12:57, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
3. Neutral I'll vote as neutral first. But very likely I'll move to support when I know what your previous account is. Jianhui67 Talk 13:30, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
