Final (2/6/0); ended 03:33, 24 March 2011 (UTC) - Sorry, but it doesn't look like this request is going to succeed at the present time. To invoke "not now" for a candidate with over 2,000 good faith edits to his name spanning two years of activity is more than a little patronising, so I'm closing this in the spirit of preventing further drama, both in the interests of the project and in those of MacMed. It seems that most of the concerns revolve not around the lack of experience which forces so many early closures, but around a lack of activity in recent months—16 months is a long time (it's worth remembering that the newest editors to get through RfA have probably only been active for about that length of time), so I for one hope to see you back here with more activity on which your peers to evaluate you in a few months. I think it's worth a nod to some of the opposers to thank them for the relative collegiality with which they expressed their views—all too often, well-meaning editors are shouted out of RfA, but most of the opposers here seemed, to me at least, to be making an effort to make it less personal. I take that as a good omen for a future RfA. - HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 03:33, 24 March 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
MacMed (talk · contribs) – Hi there, my name is MacMed and I would like to take a second shot at adminship. My first RFA did alright, especially considering the short amount of time I had been with the project. Although I have just returned from a 6 month break (taken for schoolwork reasons) I am back and feel I have addressed the concerns from the first RFA. Most of the opposes at that time were due to experience, and I now have 7 months of editing experience behind me. In addition, I did follow the Wikipedia community over that 6 month break, I just didn't want to let it take precedence over school. I know I have been back only a short time, but a look at my contribs should satisfy any concerns about my policy knowledge, etc. Feel free to give me example situations so that you can assess my ability to determine consensus. Thank you for your consideration. MacMedtalkstalk 01:08, 24 March 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
