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: Making Wikipedia a better place, reverting vandalism, blocking disruptive users, protecting pages (if needed), changing page names (if needed), etc...

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

A: My best contributions to Wikipedia are pages about public housing estates in Hong Kong and Hong Kong bus routes.

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, I have been in one or two edit conflicts. In the future, I will solve the situation by discussing with the "conflict opponent," then agree upon the best solution.

1. You're not ready. While I have no doubt that you have admirable intentions, you do not strike me as a user who has the prerequisite experience for adminship; you've only been here since December 2008, and you only boast just over 500 edits. Sorry, but that's not enough. I do bestow you with a moral support, though, but I must oppose on technical grounds. --Dylan620 _{Efforts · Toolbox} 00:37, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

   Soap's oppose only reinforces my words. Not only that, but damn me for forgetting to check your block log... --Dylan620 _{Efforts · Toolbox} 00:45, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2. Oppose for now. Sorry, you were blocked just a week ago. This is not necessarily an impediment to eventual adminship; it just is much, much too soon to be running. Please look over the various pass and fail RfA's for ideas about what kinds of things we look for in candidates. Also don't be afraid to ask other editors for help or advice about any questions you may have. Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 00:40, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
3. Oppose Per above. I admire you for wanting to help out more, but you just don't have enough experience. Cheers,--ThoseStarsBurnLikeDiamonds stargaze 00:44, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
