  1. Yaten talk 20:31, 2 March 2006 (PST) — While I think you have a general desire to help improve the wiki, I can't support your nomination when your first edit in the YPPedia: namespace is a request for adminship. I am highly partial to users who contribute to discussions, and in this case, it's just too soon.
  2. Guppymomma 20:37, 2 March 2006 (PST) - While Emufarmers' contributions have been just fine, his wiki editing experience only began less than a month ago, on 18 February 2006, and consists of less than 100 edits. I'd advise just continuing to be active in the wiki: creating good articles, cleaning up others, participating in discussions on talk pages & on the forum if wiki issues pop up, and learning more about things such as wiki style neutrality and encyclopaedic style content; then reapply for adminship after another month or two as a more experienced and knowledgeable candidate.
  3. Emufarmers 21:29, 2 March 2006 (PST) Perhaps that is wise counsel...Since I highly respect both Yaten and Guppymomma, from what I have seen of their work, I have decided to withdraw my nomination for the time being, until I can further establish myself within this community. I suppose I should have expected this, but...Perhaps part of me did, and was simply overzelous and wanted to see. At any rate, I'll put this on hold for now, and redouble my efforts on matters more significant than a little title next to my name (which, technically, the Admins don't even get :P). Thanks, guys. :) (You can do whatever you feel is most proper for this page, either deleting it, or moving it to the Unsuccessful Adminship Candidacies page [which would be rather embarrassing, but perhaps that is the price I must pay for my impetuousness].)

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.)
I would be very keen on assisting with maintenance of the wiki through reversions of vandalized pages and the like, but would also greatly look forward to helping new users become acclimated to the environment of the wiki..
2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
I consider the pages I created for my Captain, my crew, and my flag to be of high quality, but I think that most of my contributions have been useful, and certainly consider them to have been positive..
