pre christmas review hi spinning i'm doing a quick review on your edits right now one of the things that you need to remember is our primary purpose here is to build the encyclopedia coaching is secondary as is working towards adminship i noticed that you've read a few of my recent essays on csd i know this because you've made edits to my essay on why i hate speedy deleters i appreciate the edits another essay that i would suggest you take a look at is my essay on my coaching philosophy and what it means to be work with an adminly spirit one of the key things that i look at isn't does the candidate have the right edit counts in various places or does the candidate know policy backwards and forwards but rather do they have the spirit of an admin do people respect the candidate and do they act as in a manner that instills confidence and respect from the community do they embody what i think an admin encapsulates to me being an admin isn't about the buttons one can and should be an admin before they ever submit themself to the community that being said i encourage you to look at this edit i like the fact that you use your user space to keep notes and work on articles this shows a sign of somebody who has been burnt by csd'ers no in reality i think developing ideas and concepts in the user space should be encourage is a list of things that you'd like to work on if so what have you succeeded in acomplishing in the past eg what isn't there that might have been there months ago read my essay found on my user page about my coaching philosophy there are four key areas that i like to see from candidates '''' poppaballoon''
