  1. Hi Darth. Looks like you just got reviewer and rollback permissions on Friday, so I recommend you try those out for a while first before requesting adminship. 28bytes (talk) 16:45, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  2. You need to have a few more edits - less than 1500 overall, and only 220 in article space isn't really enough. Nothing to say you shouldn't come back in a bit, with some more work under your belt --Elen of the Roads (talk) 16:50, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  3. Bit short on article space edits, slightly unconvincing answers to the questions, and not much sign of experience in admin-related areas. Still, nothing that seems so egregious as to prevent another go in the future.--KorruskiTalk 16:54, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  4. Not enough experience and the problems mentioned on your talk page suggest you still have a bit to learn about some fairly basic policies. Suggest you get rather more experience, then come back. -- Jimmy Pitt talk 17:09, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  5. As others have said, 220 article edits is nowhere near enough experience yet. But thanks for offering your services, and please do stick around and carry on the good work of helping to improve the encyclopedia. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:16, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    PS: Judging by your Talk page, you also need to spend a bit of time learning about copyright, and about a number of other policy areas. And you need to start replying to Talk page messages and engaging in discussion - a demonstrated ability to engage in constructive discussion is essential for an admin. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:25, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  6. Per WP:NOTNOW, you have good intentions, but are not quite there yet. Build up some more experience in the Wikipedia community, and you may one day make a fine admin.--TÆRkast (Communicate) 17:24, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  7. Sorry, with under 1500 edits, it would take an extraordinary nomination to convince, and that didn't happen.--SPhilbrickT 17:27, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  8. Per WP:NOTNOW. Sorry, but you need a great deal more exposure and experience with Wikipedia. You're doing decent work right now, and with time and experience that will develop into excellent work. But based on your edit history and User Talk page comments, you're just not there yet. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (talk) 17:31, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  9. Oppose. Could use a bit more experience. -- Cirt (talk) 17:39, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  10. Per WP:NOTNOW, Sorry Good Luck for the future.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 17:54, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  12. Oppose -- Sorry, too soon, not enough experience. You were even just a few spots up from my own rollback request. Krashlandon (talk) 18:42, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
