Milk's Favorite Cookie

Final (66/45/10); Closed at 22:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC) This RfA was withdrawn by the candidate. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 22:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Milk's Favorite Cookie (talk · contribs) - (previously known as Ohmpandya; also known as MFC and Oreo) I'm not really sure where to start. He has been an active member of our community for about four months now, and has gained more experience than I've seen in any adminship candidate in a while. He spends a good quantity of time reverting vandalism, but also spends plenty of time on articles and other things (such as spending time at WP:FPC). Before it "closed", he was a clerk at WP:ACC and spent some time there. Among some stats:

13 successful Featured Picture nominations
11 DYKs
Over 22,000 undeleted edits (along with about 1500 deleted)
Helped raise Heuschrecke 10 to GA
About 285 AIV reports
Perfect edit summary usage

When promoted, he's going to be one of our most active admins, and I know he's going to be very good. If he isn't fit for the tools, I'm not sure who is. jj137 (talk) 00:46, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Co-nomination by Alexfusco5: As Jj137 has already said, MFC is an excellent contributor with contributions many good and featured articles. He spends a lot of time reverting vandalism but also is part of WikiProjects and unlike most editors always uses the edit summary. He used to help out at WP:ACC but now helps on the mailing list. MFC is definitely one of the most qualified users for adminship in a very long time. Alexfusco⁵ 01:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Co-nomination by Shark face 217: Where to begin? MFC, aka Oreo, is by far one of the most prolific, dedicated Wikipedians I have known. I met MFC ages ago through the Award Center, which I currently run. He bravely took on challenges and quickly earned a reputation as one of the best contributors to the project. MFC continues to amaze, as he not only improves articles for AWC but also sponsors and oversees a good deal many challenges. For example, for the Anti-vandalism drive at AWC, MFC surprised everyone by warning over 2400 vandals, 200+ AIV reports, and 20+ vandals banned/blocked in under a few days time. The number of barnstars MFC has is truly stunning. Besides this, MFC is part of several wikiprojects and recently designed a helpful newsletter bot, which has been utilized by several wikiprojects. I have the utmost respect and admiration for this editor, and I only wish that I can be as helpful to Wikipedia in a month as he is in a week. I strongly support MFC for the mop and hope you can do the same. --Shark face 217 02:16, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

~~I accept - thanks for the nom JJ - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)~~[reply]

I would like to withdraw this nomination. Thanks Jj137 for nominating me and Alexfusco and Sharkface who co-nominated. Thank you also, to all the voters regardless if it was oppose or support. You comments of Oppose will only help me to become a better editor. Again, thank you. I hope to run again when I feel the time is right, and I hope the opinions of opposer's have changed about me. Thanks again, - Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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:

WP:AIV – This is (almost) never empty. It’s been a pleasure (well, not really) reporting vandals here, and I would love to take it one step further (ip appropriate)
WP:UAA – Usually when a terrible username is created there is little possibility that he/she has come here to do good. (except this guy – the only one I know)
WP:SCV – Without a doubt! ENORMOUS backlog. Corensearchbot is not always right, but obviously copyvio’s are supposed to be destroyed
WP:AFD Sure. Needs some help when it comes to the ~100 nominations every day. I would mostly work on WP:SNOW deletes.
CAT:PROD – Mostly working on expired prods, and checking the reasons before deleting.
CAT:CSD NEVER empty. I will see if the article falls within this and then delete it.

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

A: My best contributions are probably my featured pictures. Article wise, it looks like List of Super Bowl Champions will pass WP:FLC. I have also significantly improved Heuschrecke 10 and Rickey Henderson, and Boston Celtics.

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:A minor one. This user, seemed to be never showing good faith, and never being civil. She violated the 3 revert rule several times, and was obviously blocked for that. And, to make matters worse: removing 3RR warnings, and not showing good faith in edit summaries. Other than that, I have not been in any other edit conflicts.

Optional question from User:Guest9999

4. When (if ever) would it be appropriate to close an AfD discussion as WP:SNOW after less than a day of discussion? Guest9999 (talk) 01:10, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A: Most editors, prefer an AFD discussion to go at least 3-5 days before it is closed as keep/delete. Nominations like these would be closed per WP:SNOW. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Optional questions from User:Thedjatclubrock

5: What is the difference between a block and a ban and in what situation is each implemented?

A ban is a just a formal revocation from Wikipedia. They/It (rather) can be performed by Jimbo, the community itself, or the Arbitration Committee. A block is a not to punish users, but just used to prevent them from editing on Wikipedia. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

6:A recently banned user, is discovered to have made a sockpuppet. The sockpuppet, seems to be contributing positively, and hasn't caused trouble. You notice ALL of their edits are reverted. You also notice that they were all positive edits and you are wondering if you should restore them . What do you do?

Good question. Is this account an "account" or an IP - please clarify then I will proceed further with this question. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Both the sockpuppet and the original accounts were registered.Thedjatclubrock :-) ^(T/C)

A. Thanks for the clarification. The edits would be kept revered regardless if they showed that their edits were good faith. Thanks for the questions - - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Thedjatclubrock :-) ^(T/C) 02:55, 24 March 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Optional questions by MrPrada

7: What is the process you use for closing multiple related pages for deletion?

A: Can you clarify this question? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, for instance, Article 1 is conominated with Article 2 and 3 for deletion, all votes are in favor to keep. What do you do?

8: Why the difference in answers to question #2 from your first Editor Review (5FEB08), second Editor Review (2MAR08), and this RFA (24MAR08)?

A:Question 2 on my RFA, and question 2 on my editor review are two different questions.... Please clarify this. The "best contribs" question, or the "Edit conflict" question? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, yes, the "best contribs" question.

9: An article is listed at AfD. The nominator makes a compelling argument that although the article is the subject of verified sources, it is not notable. After five days, there are ten votes to keep, although none of them disprove the nominator's original comments that the article fails the notability standard. Only the nominator has dissented. Should the article be kept per WP:SNOW, or deleted?

A: It depends. First, I would contact the voters and ask them to see the nominator's comments. It all depends after that if they change their vote or not. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Optional follow-up/9a.: If the 10 votes were still "Keep" per WP:ILIKEIT, but the subject was non-notable in your opinion or did not meet the policy/guidelines, would you be inclined to keep or delete the article?

A:

10: Should Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hank Bergman (2nd nomination) be sent to WP:DRV?

A: I suppose that's anyone's who thinks the articles should be deleted choice. I should have looked at it more closely to see if the discussion was still going on. - Which I missed. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not-optional joke question by WBOSITG

11: Why didn't you tell me you were doing this now?!

Whoops. ;) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And some proper, optional ones from WBOSITG

12: A user comes to WP:UAA and reports a new user with username "SFEFVSZZ". Do you block?

A.It is confusing - hence violating the policy. But, this one I would consider checking his contribs, and to see if he is a troll, or not. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

12b: What about "FOVKK34FFVSSLLLA!"?

A.Yes - totally confusing username (violating the policy) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

13.) - Why do you wish to be an administrator? - jc37 23:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A.)

Support. This was one of those times where something didn't feel right, and I needed to do some deeper investigating. What I decided was that some of the oppositional votes just didn't feel right. Examples: Marty Rockatansky states below that this candidate closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hank Bergman (2nd nomination) via WP:SNOW, and "there was still discussion going on". Well, Marty was the sole remaining delete !vote in an 11-1 consensus, with one editor changing his delete !vote to "strong keep" after a revealing source (here and here). While I am in no way discounting Marty's !vote or his right to oppose below, I personally would have closed this as the candidate did. I'm sort of preempting Q10, I know, and I reserve my right to change my !vote based on the answers to the pending questions. However, even after circumspect weighing of Shoessss's and John's arguments below (arguments that certainly make one take pause), I feel this candidate will serve the best interests of Wikipedia and will be a net positive. Mistakes may be made, but that's no reason to oppose, in my opinion. Tan | 39 05:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't this only his second RfA? December his last? And yes, I know trying to reason with Kmweber is useless, but I want to get my point out. Soxred93 | talk bot 02:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
He had one in late December and one in January, neither of which were linked in the nomination, which was disappointing: Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ohmpandya and Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ohmpandya 2. Daniel (talk) 02:27, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sox, please retain civility. These personal attacks (from various people) on Kurt are really getting tiresome. Yes, he holds a position that is in the minority, but he is FULLY justified in holding them. I am getting so sick of his being attacked every time he takes a position, that I am seriously considering an RFC on this issue (I mean, Kurt has been taken to two or three on this issue, and his right to oppose on these grounds has been defended, why should he have to suffer attacks EVERY SINGLE TIME he !votes.)Balloonman (talk) 07:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Soxred has a right to his opinion, just like everyone else! Reading what he actually said, i think Balloonman is the only person on this board making a personal attack. I questioned Kurt's oppose of TPH, yes! But i'm going to tell you now. At no point do i type to attack. I really like and respect that Kurt has an opinion not shared by everyone. I really think that if it bothers you, Balloonman, so much. You should consider taking a short wiki-break. Good luck to all three of you in whatever you do today! Cheers, TheProf | Talk 12:28, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't mind people disagreeing with Kmweber, but it is when they get to mocking him and belittling him, that I object. As for what Soxred actually said, let's see, I know trying to reason with Kmweber is useless. That is a personal attack. Balloonman (talk) 13:17, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Meh, I was beaten to it, but anyways; Guys, please. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 11:44, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Trying to reason with Kmweber is useless...I think than rather it being a personal attack, it is actually a fair point. Kurt never replies to comments made about his opposes. Lots of things could have been resolved and he might not have recieved as much negative feedback if he had participated in discussion. Many perfectly good candidates may self-nom because, put simply, they need the tools. On some RfAs, Kurt Weber's oppose is the only oppose there, which shows he doesn't even read through the RfA. That is unacceptable behaviour when participating in RfA, especially as it says in the guidelines to review thoughfully and read an RfA through. Lra drama 09:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To all involved: Be Civil. Kingturtle (talk) 13:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose due to an unfavorable impression during my only interaction with him when I edited as 134.139.42.72 (talk · contribs). (On an unrelated note, for those who will WHOIS it, I suppose now is the time to reveal that
I attend Cal State Long Beach, which was already somewhat given away by my picture of the Metro Express bus.) The edit, which removed some hardcoded image sizes, was rollbacked by MFC [1], which he later rollbacked himself [2]. He also warned me [3] and then removed that warning [4] without comment. I decided to leave him a note [5], which I see now accidentally erased someone else's (not sure how: I used the + tab), [6] which he reverted, again by rollback.

What is wrong with this is manyfold. Rollback is never to be used on content edits or edits that are clearly not vandalism. Removing pixel sizes is not blatant enough vandalism to warrant rollback, but an edit summary asking what the hell. He removed the warning and later removed my message without ever directly admitting he was wrong or acknowledging that I was right (or wrong) and with rollback-like summaries. The timestamps show a minute difference between jj's and my posts – simply put, it was an edit conflict wherein he saved his page first, then I saved mine, and his edit was lost. Unfortunately it isn't the kind that is detected until one checks the history. MFC didn't even try to salvage it (repeat: didn't acknowledge that he had read it at all), but reverted it like he didn't even give a damn about why I removed pixel sizes. This consequently is problematic. A user who works extensively with warning and removing vandalism interacts with anonymous users quite often, and I do not want to see people who violate WP:CIVIL (no explanations at all, but brusqueness in dealing with 134.139), WP:AGF (assuming that I had purposefully erased jj's message when I had not, and not restoring it at all, and not explaining why at all), and WP:BITE (over-eagerness in dispening warning templates) doing such tasks as warning and blocking. Above all, I feel that MFC does not communicate adequately enough, instead assuming that the anonymous IP user 134.139.42.72 was very experienced wifh Wikipedia and knew exactly what was right and wrong, and that he or she was perfectly cool, alright, awesome with having HIS OR HER EDIT ROLLBACKED LIKE HIS OR HER OPINION DIDN'T MATTER. I happened to be such a user, having been here for three years. But my fellow classmate may not and would probably be scared off by such blunt treatment. I don't give a damn if MFC was 99% right and that he occasionally makes mistakes, that 1% – especially the 1% of that 1% that tried in good faith to communicate with MFC – is going to be seriously and irrevocably upset. Such heavy-handed tactics will drive off any user that isn't already a Wikipedian. hbdragon88 (talk) 02:56, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per the lack of understanding of the non-free image criteria and copyright. The majority of the images that have uploaded under fair use have been deleted, due to a lack of source, no justification of the purpose of the image, incomplete fair use rationale or none at all. As an example, Image:Son of the shark cover.jpg, Image:Bervin Alexander wiki screenshot.jpg, Image:Cambell john poster.GIF, Image:Dammerung Im Traum screenshotalbum.jpg, Image:Live in orance county albumshot.jpg, Image:Ss contrefacon cover.jpg (fair use rationale was added later by Europe22) and Image:Spikejones stero.jpg had incomplete or no fair use rationales. Image:Daniel_Craig_McCallum_image.jpg is another example, it was licensed and uploaded as fair use even though the image was taken in 1878, which would make it exempt from copyright as it was created in the United States before 1923. I also see some questionable speedy deletion tagging. [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14] and many others in [15] could have been easily fixed by removing the plot, but it was tagged it for deletion instead. Please note the second point in CSD G12, stating "There is no non-infringing content on either the page itself, or in the history, worth saving". [16] is also pretty questionable. The article does not seem to be a copyvio of that site. In all, I feel I cannot support this until these issues are addressed.—Dark ^talk 03:42, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I should have been more careful on this one, but I was going a little fast per this. And about the images, I did learn. See [17][18] - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Hbdragon88, DarkFalls, Dschwen and my comments in neutral. I don't think the candidate will be a good administrator at this time, especially given the candidate has very little in the way of encyclopedic contributions and will struggle to use the administrator tools when stepping in to resolve a content dispute, in an effective manner. Daniel (talk) 03:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I have no idea why he closed AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hank Bergman (2nd nomination). There was still discussion going on. He's not even Admin yet but already tries to act like one. Marty Rockatansky (talk) 04:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
He probably shouldn't have as many people believe that discussions with at least one delete should be closed only by an admin. That being said, the fact that there was ongoing discussion does not mean the conversation goes on indefinately. This closure as a Keep was completely acceptable as it had been more than the requisite time and overwhelming majority. His fault is not one of breaking policy or guidelines, but rather a position that SOME (not all) people at AfD hold.Balloonman (talk) 07:24, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, AFD says an article may be debated for up to five days, and the AFD in question was suitably aged. Non-admin closure on this particular AFD was not overstepping the bounds. If further discussion was needed, it needed to be discussed on the talk page in question, and if the nom disagree with the closure, it can always be taken back to AFD.

Oppose Lack of experience, still needs better understanding of policy, occasional poor communication skills. On my one meeting with him, he nominated a featured picture I took and uploaded for delisting without informing me. Another user pointed this out, I was informed, and I uploaded a larger version of the picture. The picture was kept as featured, but I was left with the impression that the picture could have been delisted if that other editor hadn't stepped in. That would have been a shame. The whole process (which can be seen here) could have achieved the same result with a single message to me as the uploader. If it sounds petty to oppose based on one incident, take this as being the recent interaction that tipped me from neutral to oppose. A fine editor, but more experience required. --John (talk) 04:17, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - At this point you have made 22, 253 of your total edit count of 22,282, in just over the last 3-1/2 months. I believe that works out to 99.9% of your edits in less than 4 months. Goodness knows, there are fast learners out there, but *^#% that is fast. Personally, I would like to see, just a tad more experience in administrative duties. Is this a reflection on the work you have done so far? No, great work. Is this a reflection on well-rounded experience and a thought process, that goes into a decision making, where both sides may have valid arguments, Yes. Sorry, the Yes wins out.

Oppose - Excellent as an editor, but I don't think he's quite up to the skills needed as an admin yet. There have been some questionable actions tagging speedies and working in deletion discussions and a general lack of communication. I'm also concerned by the number of RfAs, the inflated award count and that almost all edits have been performed in just the past few months. Shell ^babelfish 05:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Milks is an enthusiastic contributor, and I think that's great, but my experience with him is on the DYK page where he has made numerous nominations that fail to meet the DYK rules. In spite of being informed that his nominations don't meet the criteria, that he is wasting the time of reviewers by making bad nominations, and that he needs to pay more attention to the rules, he has continued to nominate articles which fail to meet the criteria, which indicates to me a careless and slapdash approach and a lack of consideration for other users. Also, I think six months of solid contributions is an absolute minimum for adminship, and then only for the best candidates. So I cannot support adminship at this time.

Weak oppose I struggled with this one. I have a good impression of MFC from my personal encounters with him and seeing him around, but the DYK issue and questionable speedy issues make me oppose. As does the point observed by Shoeless above. over 22K edits in 3 months, I can't see how anybody can make that many edits and think about what they are doing to make that many edits.Balloonman (talk) 07:29, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose MFC has have been around for only 3 months and has done an amazing amount of wiki-gnoming. However I do not see much evidence of actual encyclopedia building. When he answered (Q3) that he hasn't been in any conflicts this does not indicate that he has been able to keep cool under fire, but that he hasn't been editing articles in a way that can create a conflict. Most indicative is the lack of the talk page edits. Of the 1603 about 20 of them relate to rating the article as a a "good article" and the rest seem to be assessment, or "oldafd". I cannot find any instances of disagreeing with another editor on how to edit and reaching a compromise. Disagreement among editor and how it is dealt with is the most important user interaction on wikipedia, and without experience in this area I cannot support. Jon513 (talk) 10:27, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This was a difficult one to oppose. There are some issues regarding your judgement in AfD debates, which is unavoidable. Yet youve made over 22,000 edits in the last 4 months, which is somewhat astonishing. You have good skills in regards to your dealing with other people from what ive observed. Id just like to see some more experience, come back in 3-6 months, and i'd be certainly ready to hand you the mop. Thanks. Twenty Years 10:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Astonishing and frightening. Let's put that in perspective. 22K edits in about 3 months works out to about 7200 edits per month or 240 edits per day. If he spends just 1 minute thinking about each edit, then he is spending 4 hours per day editing wikipedia. That's 4 hours uninterrupted doing nothing else. I doubt if he spending 4 hours every single day editing wikipedia... and I doubt that he spending an average of 1 minute thinking about his edits---which has come out in some of the comments made on this page. I can't support somebody who doesn't think more of their edits.Balloonman (talk) 13:17, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm familiar with Bots, but if we wanted a bot as an admin, then we should nominate the bot, not the user. 22K edits in three months says this person relies too much on the bot to do his job and not enough time elsewhere.

Agree with Jj. There's a huge difference between a bot and a tool. Huggle is a useful tool that allows you to revert vandalism quickly.

Oppose In addition to the understanding of policy concerns raised by others, I, too, have concerns. To provide an example pertaining to WP:V/WP:RS/WP:SPS, I found myself somewhat taken aback by MFC’s support comment for the Heuschrecke 10 FAC of “well cited”, when the article utilizes personal sites, hobby sites and a likely copyvio. A firm understanding of sourcing policies and judicious application thereof is critical; despite being an enthusiastic and helpful editor, I don’t think MFC is there yet.

Oppose A very active user with good contributions. But the examples above are cause for concern, WP:SNOW is to be used very carefully, afds are sometimes subject to complete reversal, and this post to Twaz just killed my eyes. Not mature enough for the mop, I don't trust his judgement right now. It may change of course, in some months. Seriousness and consideration are necessary qualities for an administrator.

~~Neutral~~ per Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ohmpandya 2 and some odd speedy deletion tagging lately (now deleted), where the tagging suggests (through failure to check the history of the article, the title of the article, and the author) that the candidate may not inspect articles as closely as I expect before speedy deleting them.

What makes me feel uneasy about this RFA is that MFC appears to belong to a clique of people who seem to regard WP a litle too much as a myspace replacement. Don't get me wrong here, he seems to be a really nice guy, which is probably the reason he can rally so many supporters. But the question of maturity was raised in an oppose comment above, and when I look at the signatures in the support section the sheer amount of font tags and flashy color css makes me a bit suspicious... --Dschwen 16:46, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1. I felt that nominator had come back with another interesting comment right before the discussion was closed, and I would have like to have seen a response to it, because I my self was yet to decide on keep or delete. User:Marty Rockatansky stated at 21:07 on March 22 that I suggest to add this discussion under Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts and Wikipedia:WikiProject Martial arts as well that guys with more knowledge of the sport can decide whether keep it or not., and the discussion was closed less than five hours later.

2. Secondly, I noticed that you forgot to close the other articles that were conominated as keeps, and update their article histories accordingly. While you took care of this quickly once I pointed it out, you still did not add the article history template, and left the prod tag on the last article (Bernardo Jua). I would be inclined to support you, I will think about it while I go over the answers to your questions, etc., but I thought it pertinent to bring this up as it was only this morning.

Sorry, but you're too new; I prefer admins to have sizable contributions spread out over a much longer period of time than yours. All it shows is that you can amass a number of edits in short order, which isn't necessarily a good thing (just as it isn't necessarily a bad thing, either). The fact that you keep coming back here (this being your third RfA) is extremely worrisome in my mind. I think there might be a net positive to the project if you're an admin, which is why I'm neutral, but I still can't help feeling like you could do with some more time here.

Neutral: I'd like to support, but I am still waiting on an answer for my questions. Thanks, Thedjatclubrock :-) ^(T/C) 16:15, 25 March 2008 (UTC). Sorry, I really don't want to oppose, but I don't agree with your answer to question 6. In this case, I think WP:IAR would apply, if the edits were all positive. I believe the sockpuppet is probably trying to "Turn over a new leaf" in that case. I'm going to have to remain neutral, maybe next time. Good Luck!

That was a bad interpretation of the rules on my part. Sorry, Thedjatclubrock :-) ^(T/C) 01:28, 26 March 2008 (UTC).[reply]
For the moment, neutral: I can't reach a firm conclusion until you answer more questions. I know they're optional and all, but they look important to me. Smartguy777 (talk) 18:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC).[reply]
Still neutral, but for a different reason: Not bad, but not good either. Right in the middle. Smartguy777 (talk) 03:26, 26 March 2008 (UTC). PS: Why is my one number 2 if #2 is way back up there? Is it a glitch?[reply]
Both ideas have got their reasons. Maybe in a few month. abf /talk to me/ 14:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral MFC is very dedicated to improving Wikipedia and is obviously a hard worker. However, admins face a lot of situations rife with conflict and MFC's stated limited experience with conflict situations gives cause to wonder how MFC would react under those condictions. It appears that MFC has the makings of a great admin with some more experience under his belt, but I cannot support at this time. TheRedPenOfDoom (talk) 22:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd really hate to oppose MFC, due to his having made some progress from previous RfAs. Even so, I'm afraid I don't think he is quite ready. Several months of good edits, especially outside of the anti-vandalism arena will make the next one a dead cert. Spend a while writing a few DYKs and getting away from Huggle for a while.
