Instantflash

Vote here (3/5/0) ending 03:55 01/20/2008(UTC)

Instantflash (talk • contribs) – Instantflash has created and edited many pages, he is familar with "styles" and can create and edit pages really fast. In addition, he is good with images and HTML code. Also even if i do not become a admin, i will still contine to help new people and try to help with added tags and creating pages.

Oppose

1. Greatly oppose this nomination. It appears that the nominee has used either sock puppets or personal friends with no wiki experience to inflate the vote. They also have filled out this template incorrectly. I find no qualifications met by the nominee to warrant adminship and recommend they take a look at the list of standards wanted in a YPPedia admin. -- Muffynz^(t/c) 15:38, 13 January 2008 (PST)
2. Strongly oppose for the reasons above. None of the sysop chores listed would require sysop status. And speed isn't a standard that anyone has listed. It also isn't clear that the Yppedia:Policies and guidelines are as familiar to this user as I would like. -- Cedarwings ^(talk) 15:48, 13 January 2008 (PST)
3. Strongly oppose - this user does not appear to have the experience necessary for an administrator. Editing pages "really fast" is often unhelpful, as it often causes edit conflicts with other users, and a fifteen minute break is often advised between editing pages. Experience with wiki syntax is also important, and this candidate does not appear to have understood how to use internal links correctly, as shown in the RfA. --Nicksterv ^(t/c) 16:01, 13 January 2008 (PST)
4. Strongly oppose. The current supporting voters have failed to specify their reasons for supporting the candidate - "freaking rocks" does not count. Editing is not a race but even if it were, the race is not always to the swift. The candidate can continue helping out the way they have specified below without requiring adminship. Being good with HTML code, while it still helps, has lesser importance when editing a wiki. -- Faulkston 16:07, 13 January 2008 (PST)
5. Oppose - Unfamiliarity with key policies disqualify this candidate.--Fiddler 12:50, 17 January 2008 (PST)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)

A Some of the things that I hope to be helping out with is added tags and creating pages that are not created because I can do that fairly quickly. Also I would like to help out new people to Yppedia and help out with editing thir articles as well as all newly created articles.

2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A The things that I am most proud of are my flag and crew pages that I made, as well as my personal pirate page. (Flag Page, Crew Page, Instantflash's Page.
