Some of us go to RfA because we share a vision of all human knowledge being freely available to everyone, and a few extra buttons would occasionally make that job easier. Others go to RfA because they've become bored with content creation, and are looking for a little light relief. Some even go because they view becoming an administrator as some kind of a promotion. So what's your motivation Iamawesome800? --[[User:Malleus Fatuorum|Malleus]] [[User_talk:Malleus_Fatuorum|Fatuorum]] 01:37, 8 February 2009 (UTC) |

:Correction, no longer Iamawesome800, anyways to answer your question my motivation is because I just get annoyed looking at something like AIV and seeing 4 vandals reported and they stay there for 20 minutes and no admin blocks them, that's why I want to be an admin to ensure a quicker response to things like that.--<!-- BEGIN SIGNATURE -->'''[[User:Giants27|<span style="font-arial:small-caps; color:Black">Giants27</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Giants27|<span style="font-tahoma:small-caps; color:#FFC12D">T</span>]]</sup>'''<!-- END --> 02:51, 8 February 2009 (UTC) |

Question
Noticed you just nominated Nja247 for admin and I was wondering if it's successful if you would be willing to be my admin coach.--Iamawesome800 Talk to Me 17:41, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm backing away from admin coaching for a while. Sorry. The advice I give, is to 1) work on articles, 2) develop a footprint in policy based areas 3) act like an admin... ---I'm Spartacus! PoppaBalloon 19:14, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- 4) Don't want adminship too much. Trust me -it's not a reward. Pedro : Chat 20:50, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Number 4 is actually the thing that kills many RfA's.---I'm Spartacus! PoppaBalloon 21:18, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- As can number 3 if done unwisely........ Pedro : Chat 21:29, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Or number 2… – iridescent 21:39, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Not to mention number 1, if all you use is tools---I'm Spartacus! PoppaBalloon 21:41, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, but couldn't "backing away" also kill an RFA? Useight (talk) 21:51, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Which is why we haven't told him about steps 5 6 or 7 yet ;-)---I'm Spartacus! PoppaBalloon 22:08, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- If you (IAA800) want a serious answer from RFA's Resident Serial Opposer™, without even looking at your contributions what will kill get any RFA from you snowclosed at present is your username, this image on your userpage, User:Iamawesome800/Editnotice & User talk:Iamawesome800/Editnotice, and this userbox*. The first thing anyone reviewing an editor at RFA looks at is the candidate's userpage, and yours gives the impression of being very juvenile and immature, regardless of whether you actually are. – iridescent 22:17, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- *(harsh, but I always take {{User CVU4-en}} and {{User CVU5-en}} as prima facie evidence of an inappropriate attitude to Wikipedia; CVU5 – which you thankfully don't have – earns anyone using it my instant contempt, for the sheer crassness of equating "reverted some inappropriate edits" with "violent deaths of between 30,000 and 50,000 people"). – iridescent 22:17, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Wow, I'm surprised nobody has ever mentioned any of this before.---I'm Spartacus! PoppaBalloon 01:16, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
