I would like to become an administrator that I may help curtail vandals.

Support edit
- Support, for his erudite contributions and collaborative spirit. ~ DanielTom (talk) 10:10, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose edit
- Oppose for now. With some 400 edits in 2½ months, IOHANNVSVERVS is off to a good start. However, I think it takes closer to 1,000 edits over a period of several months, including both editing articles and participating in community affairs, to learn the written and unwritten rules of the community and to demonstrate proficiency. I encourage IOHANNVSVERVS to keep at it, and to reapply after gaining more experience. ~ Ningauble (talk) 20:53, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Some hints:
- Please sign your posts in discussion pages (such as the nomination/application above).
- To figure out technical tricks like listing a discussion you can review the page history to see how "transclusion" is done.
- Please provide a reason in deletion request templates. (Even when it seems obvious, administrators should state a reason in the deletion log because the page itself will no longer be visible.)
- Keep on editing... ~ Ningauble (talk) 20:53, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough, Ningauble. Thanks for the encouragement and advice. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 03:37, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Ningauble: it's funny, I have the exact opposite concern! First of all, to answer your points—and as you no doubt know—, even very experienced admins: 1) occasionally forget to sign; 2) have had trouble setting up their own request for adminship on Wikiquote correctly (even after several tries); 3) once they become admins, have access to a list of reasons to choose from when deleting pages, which I'm sure IOHANNVSVERVS would use properly. Now, more to the point, if IOHANNVSVERVS really only has "2½ months" of experience, then (to my mind) even just using {{delete}} to tag a page for deletion is already quite a technical achievement (not to mention his first edit here). So maybe I should ask (if I may) IOHANNVSVERVS a question: do you have any previous wiki experience? ~ DanielTom (talk) 10:17, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Response: Before IOHANNVSVERVS I had some few months of anonymous editing[1] and I've been contributing to Wiktionary since October of 2014[2].
IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 19:13, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]- Okay, thanks. ~ DanielTom (talk) 19:58, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose. Agree with Ningauble (talk · contributions), above. 400 edits in about 2 months is not enough experience. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 17:03, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comments edit
- Yes, off to a good start. Keep it up and try again in a few months.--Abramsky (talk) 13:42, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
