Your recent edits edit

  Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 19:21, 10 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/VinoCC edit

 

Hi VinoCC. I noticed you created a Requests for Adminship page some time ago; I was wondering as to what the status of that request might be. I think it's fair to warn you that new users are rarely successful at RfA and that the Wikipedia editing community sets very high standards for editors running for adminship. That being said, I strongly urge you to read Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship, User:Davidwr/Administration is not for new users, and Wikipedia:Not now, and ask you to reconsider whether you really do wish to go through with your candidacy; please understand that you stand very little to no chance of passing RfA at this point and that you are strongly discouraged from running for adminship. If you are still intent on running for adminship with that request and are absolutely positive this is what you want, please do let me know; otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete the RfA page for you in about a week or so from today.

Why would YOU delete my request?--VinoCC (talk) 16:10, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

As I said above, new users have a very low chance at succeeding at RfA. You only have 16 edits, which shows inexperience to !voters at RfA. If you would like, I can delete the page for you. However, you are still allowed to run, and if you wish to do so, please transclude your request at WP:RFA by following the instructions at WP:RFA/N. Again, I strongly recommend that you not run, but it is entirely up to you. Eagles 24/7 (C) 20:17, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi Eagles 24/7-- what is your affiliation with Wikipedia? --VinoCC (talk) 16:10, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

My affiliation? I don't quite understand your query. Eagles 24/7 (C) 20:14, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
