At this stage it looks like the Oppose votes are going to win out.

I spend a lot of time on Wikipedia so it surprises me that my total edits are considered low. Perhaps I listen more and talk less than other Wikipedians who become admins. Perhaps I haven't done enough of the mass editing that involves making the same change to a lot of articles. Regardless I think I've failed to grasp the importance of a large edit count. I am someone who has been involved in Wikipedia continuously for 18 months, with an accelerating edit count over that time, so you can assume I'm going to be around for the long term. I have a good sense of what Wikipedia's about. I have proved myself trustworthy. And I'm volunteering to help out.

Line 37 ⟶ 35:

Maybe it comes down to whether being an Admin is being someone you can trust who is lending a hand in a volunteer capacity, where it's useful to have all hands on deck — or whether Adminship is a club for people who have met an edit target.

Anyway thanks for the compliments (and the support from those who have supported me). I'm not really sure about the suggestion some people have made that I reapply later: it's been quite a draining process.
