Final: 31/25/18. Closed as unsuccessful. WilliamH (talk) 13:09, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Theopolisme (talk · contribs) – Ooh! Scary! A self-nom! I’m not exactly a conventional RfA candidate - I’ll grant you that. I don’t have 50 GAs, 10 FAs, and 200 DYKs... because maybe I just don’t contribute much in those areas. I’ll grant you that I don’t have 1 million edits - I’m sorry to have destroyed everyone’s perfect world. But I have a respectable 7K, which I’ve spaced around the namespaces - articles: removing vandalism, performing copyedits, tagging CSDs/PRODs/AfDs. Talk pages: welcoming new users, assisting people with their problems, and working to keep Wikipedia growing. Wikipedia namespace: working as the co-coordinator at the Counter Vandalism Unit Academy, helping new folks at the Teahouse, creating hundreds of redirects and articles at the WP:AfC, and adding myself to various newsletter subscriptions (because don’t all the cool cats do that?). But I could go on, and on, and on... One last thing: Before you go on to read my answers and make your votes, I have just one request: I'd like to, no matter what happens, use this RfA as a learning experience. No matter what. (I won't waste those bytes!)
As a bit of a sideline, you may be wondering why the heck I submitted an RfA. And, to be quite frank, it's because I couldn't help Wikipedia (that's a slight exaggeration, obviously) in my current scenario. I didn't have the buttons to click - the buttons to use to block an obvious vandalism-only account, the buttons to use to protect a page from edit warring. And that - that is why I would like to become an admin. To be able to help Wikipedia in the ways that I think I best can. <end ramble> Theopolisme TALK 06:57, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

The IP user asks the rollbacker (on the rollbacker's talk page) to explain why they reverted the referenced edits.Please keep discussion constructive and civil. If you are unfamiliar with the nominee, please thoroughly review his contributions before commenting.
