User:MyName

After being blocked all last week for someting I did not do, I would like to see if the community has trust in me. I have been contributing for about a month. The main reason I would like to become an admin is to be able to block vandals before they do their damage. I have witnessed many times when I was on wikinews and a vandal was reeking havoc and no admin was there to stop them. Had I been an admin the damage would have been prevented.

Oppose - I trust that you're a good editor, but I don't see you as very experienced on Wikinews. —this is messedr͏ocker (talk) 20:05, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral - Good point about fighting vandals; we need lots of mops; but I guess I need to do an edit review as I don't know what Craig is referring to. Neutralizer 14:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On his user page he says "I used to be a vandal.” --Cspurrier 15:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Your efforts so far on Wikinews do not engender a sense of trust. - Amgine | ^{talk en.WN} 05:13, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Good editor, but still a little concerned about his past history. PVJ(Talk) 05:35, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Question Many times, vandals get away with their actions due to the fact that there are no Administrators online at the time to stop them. In that regard, would you mind telling us which timezone you edit from so that we can know when you are most likely to be online? PVJ(Talk) 05:35, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose User has written too few articles and has not been at wikinews long enough for me to have a sound judgement on the matter. Ealturner 15:57, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Jason Safoutin 16:00, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
