RfA Hi if you want you have the option of withdrawing your current RfA request This might be in your best interest as future opposes will probably reiterate the same items over and over In terms of feedback I don t see that you re going to get much more mileage out of this one Let me know if you d prefer to withdraw or let the RfA run its course Wikipedia Requests for adminship Vianello Vianello I am sorry to inform you that I have closed your RfA as unlikely to reach consensus there was a 6 1 ratio against the request at the time of processing However don t be downhearted by this I can assure you that your contributions are both highly welcome and valued many editors have failed their first request for adminship only to sail through later and become well respected administrators You may wish to review the Guide to RfA before submitting future nominations as well as well as here and here both of which list the more highly supported RfAs Additionally admin coaching is a useful aid for editors interested in becoming an administrator If I can assist you at all please do not hesitate to contact me Kindest regards I would like to say that your responses to the WP SNOW closing of this RfA were a great example of why I believe you will make a fine admin sometime in the future I don t do admin coaching or mentoring or any of that stuff because I don t want to commit to something with consequences to other people if I develop some problem with it but if there are any questions that occur to you on which you might wish to hear the opinion of one admin then my is at your disposal In the meantime go the places where admins go and work out why they do what they do work in article space to get a feel for what the encyclopedia is really all about visit the policy pages and see how they relate to what you are learning and ask questions of anyone you think might be able to help you Let me know when you think you might re apply Cheers Clarification When I made mention of CSD in your RfA I had noticed a few errors of requesting speedy Too many incorrectly placed speedy tags can hurt a future RfA My apologies for not expounding while it was open as I was offline The other admin related areas most people look for is contributing to WP AN and WP ANI they should be on your watchlist You d be responding to other editors questions or problems there much like WP HD WP AIV was a good start WP UAA would be good as well Getting into conversations and expressing opinions on WT RfA And I d also recommend reading over the WP ARL I hope this helps out a bit and don t let your recent RfA discourage you from editing the pedia or working on becoming an admin Best regards and happy editing from By way of response to all of the above All understandable and thanks I m actually still glad I made a go of it It may not have been the appropriate way to go about it but this process has resulted in getting me a lot more info and insight which I ll be putting to use It won t be terribly soon but til next time RfA folks User Dongcopter Your prophetic powers are awesome User nascarjake Sorry for the repeat submissions I was nt sure what was going on I did not mean any disrespect by it and it wo nt happen again Is there anyway to get a screenshot I m graduating this year and without knowing how strict wikipedia is I promised him that I would put one up but I m sure he will understand I just want to give him something to remember the page is that possible Preceding unsigned comment added by Real Madrid I consider the 3rd paragraph to have no sour
