- WP:NOTNOW. Just over 600 edits, only 20 in Article Space. Simply not enough information to judge this User on. I would suggest he apply for WP:ROLLBACK, instead. Achowat (talk) 18:54, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:NOTNOW. Sorry, James, but if you think you need the admin tools to stop vandals, you don't know enough about this place yet. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:02, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Lacking....a lot. Not too sure about rollback either, looking at the candidate's talk page. Leaky Caldron 19:03, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Not nearly enough edits, and your answers to the questions don't inspire any confidence I'm afraid. GiantSnowman 19:05, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:NOTNOW. Cryptic answers to questions do not show perspective. Glrx (talk) 19:32, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- For reasons listed above. I don't think even a "rollback" right would be made available at this stage. —Vensatry (Ping me) 20:32, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
