1. Oppose - 67 edits and less than two months is far too little to go off of for the community to trust you with administrator tools. Sorry, Sven Manguard Wha? 20:39, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
2. On the off-chance that this user is sincere, I must regretfully oppose as "nowhere near ready". DS (talk) 20:42, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
3. WP:NOTNOW. In a few months I am sure you'll be golden for adminship. Basket of Puppies 20:42, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
4. Oppose Nowhere near ready.   ArcAngel   (talk) ) 20:50, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
5. Oppose As said above it seems to soon haven't seen any other significant administrative task as well as your answers to the above questions is not setting with me well. wp:notnow Staffwaterboy ^{Critique Me} 20:52, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1. Moral support: nyswimmer, candidates for admin are usually expected to have a lot more experience. It's not necessarily the number of edits you make; but an administrator is expected to be familiar with a lot of different policies and noticeboards, which is something that comes with a year or two of experience working on wikipedia. It's good that you want to serve the project, but I think it very unlikely that most people will support your request for admin just yet. In the meantime, you can make lots of positive contributions without being an administrator. bobrayner (talk) 20:41, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
