Burhan Ahmed (talk · contribs) – One of the reasons i would like to be an administrator is to stop vandalism across wiki and encourage more and more people to join it. I have been expanding wikipedia so that it would meet the demands of the up coming world of progress and development in every aspect of life.

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

A: Firstly i would do the things i am mostly familiar with as a non-admin like Articles for Deletion and tagging the articles having issues and doing little edits over the articles.

2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

A: I have added many articles about my university (Xinjiang Medical University) and affiliated hospitals to it. I have also added many articles about Urumqi, the place where i currently am for my medical education. I am also interested in editing more things about China and Pakistan. I am also a member of some WikiProjects specially that related to China.

3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

A: yes there were some conflicts but i dealt with them . Most of them were related to image licensing and I justified them according the policies of wikipedia. Some times i had to change the licenses to get my image get through the administrators.

Please keep discussion constructive and civil. If you are unfamiliar with the nominee, please thoroughly review Special:Contributions/Burhan Ahmed before commenting.

1. Oppose, I'm afraid. The edit count and spread is far below that advised for a candidate, and this brings into question the user's grasp of the CSD; a detailed knowledge of those guidelines and their application is a must-have for any administrator. The malformed and improperly transcluded RfA doesn't help either. Ironholds (talk) 12:37, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
2. Oppose, sorry. Lack of understanding of CSD (and multiple ignored requests to stop CSD tagging), multiple image copyvios, all within the last month or two. Not now, really. (And yes, I know I fixed the malformed RfA; maybe other people will see promise here that I don't). [roux » x] 12:40, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
3. Oppose/Not now, mostly because of a high number of incorrect speedy deletion tags in the last few days: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 --Amalthea^Talk 12:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
4. Oppose per the above comments no need to say much more Alexnia (talk) 12:56, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
5. Oppose The candidate lacks understanding of Wikipedia policy as evidenced by the repeated bad speedy tagging, and repeated copyright violation after previous warnings, and incorrect claims about having taken pictures personally when they were taken from a web site. -- Whpq (talk) 13:03, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
6. Oppose Sorry as per above.But you are on the right track to be an admin.It is only WP:NOTNOW .Please try again after some time .Good luck Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 13:18, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1. Neutral Hello Burhan! Adminship provides users with very powerful tools, because of this, the process of discussing who meets the stringent criteria of adminship can be disheartening and depressing for those who do not meet the base criteria (which is around 2000 edits and 3 months of participation on the project for me personally, but is practically much higher). I urge you to not take the opposes personally and withdraw your RfA to regroup and return at a later date. Happy editing! Foxy Loxy ^Pounce! 12:54, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
