Star Wars Fanon:Requests for adminship/Archive/Gnost-Dural

The following is an archive of Goodwood's request for administrative rights. The nomination was withdrawn.

Oppose (4)

 * 1) A brief review of your contributions shows that, while you have been fairly productive on your own work, there is a lack of edits that benefit the community as a whole. If you wish to be considered for administrator of this wiki, I can only offer the following suggestions: get involved in such things as the IRC channel, Featured and Good article nominations, and other community-oriented tasks such as Recent Changes patrolling and Random Article cleanup. Sorry mate, but I have to oppose this nomination. 13:00, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I don't think so. Someone more qualified.- I'm the Chosen One So the Prophecy says... 15:50, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Taking a look at your contributions, I have to agree with Goodwood. I'm not doubting your ability to be an administrator, but contributions are important. Your contributions aren't that bad, though I've noticed that five of the eight images you've uploaded to date aren't properly sourced and licensed&mdash;that’s something a potential administrator should know to do. Additionally, with the summer short story contest, you said you were going to ask your friends and family members to come and vote on your story. An honest mistake, but that combined with the aforementioned images make me think that you perhaps need more time becoming familiar with all of our policies. Like Goodwood said as well, your contributions mostly indicate working on your own. That's fine, don't get me wrong! However, outside of your own short story nomination, I’ve never seen you do any voting on GAs, FAs, FWs, QOTWs, or community votes, all of which are important to do as an active administrator. Your interaction with other users has also been minimal, and interaction&mdash;particularly interaction where you're helping other users&mdash;is key for an admin. Finally, your schedule in the "Comments" section answers a big reason why this isn't the time for you to become an admin: you don’t seem to have the time. Only one or two days a week, and no weekends, just isn’t enough time to be a successful admin. Taking that and everything else into account&mdash;AND noting that it's entirely possible for you to be an admin in the future, so don't be discouraged!&mdash;I can't support this RfA at this time.

On a minor note, i have a reasonably filled schedule, so i may be a little slow (1-2 days at the extreme most, most likely 2-3 hours, and weekends not at all) on responding, and that schedule does not look like it's going to clear up for some time.Gnost-Dural (Talk) 12:37, August 24, 2010 (UTC) I cannot get onto IRC for some reason, and as for featured and good articles, i thought those were for admins to do. If you need more good edits, i have a fairly good track record on Wookieepedia if that helps. Anyone onit must know how hard it is to please people on there. Oh, and as for my schedule, except on weekends, i get on every morning except rare instances when i am away for 1+ days. That 1-2 days is when i will be UNavailable, and 2-3 hours is the expected time for UNavailability. And those images are my work, for the most part, and as something different shows up every time i add an image, i find it entirely impossible to license said images. I will try to, but if i am unsuccessful, i will not upload any more images.Gnost-Dural (Talk) 11:37, August 25, 2010 (UTC) Since it's obvious I won't get elected, I am hereby withdrawing. I will erase all of this tomorrow.Gnost-Dural (Talk) 11:33, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
