William Saturn (talk · contribs) edit

I've been editing WikiNews since May 2008, and have written numerous articles. I have also conducted three high profile interviews, which I believe proves my "trustworthiness." I'd like to do some work with categorization, specifically for election articles. Thank you for your time. --William Saturn (talk) 03:34, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose 1) I do not trust you. 2) I never see you around. Otherwise I would have supported you. --Diego Grez ^{let's talk} 03:39, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
neutral leaning towards weak oppose Well I do trust you (or at the very least do not think your evil), and you have been around for a while, I don't feel that you're active enough. For example, you've only made 42 edits (I swear I'm not making that number up, thats actually what i counted) this year. Bawolff ☺☻ 03:44, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Basically what bawolff said. --Mike moral ♪♫ 03:48, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for now. Your article work is much appreciated, don't get me wrong (and I really liked your interview with the US prez candidate), but I have several concerns about this: firstly, as Diego and Bawolff mention above, I've seen you participate only very intermittently. You only have 154 edits to the project and, while I'm aware that edit count isn't always a good indicator of experience, in this case it is simply too low for me to form an accurate judgment of your knowledge of policy or ability to positively interact with other users. We generally don't have high standards for adminship, though - if you can continuously participate with the project for several weeks to two months (and by that i mean making at least a few edits a week, and participating in community discussion and/or content work), I would gladly reconsider. In any case, please don't get discouraged if this RFA turns out poorly - it is not a reflection on your value as an editor, it's just too soon.
