Abd (talk · contribs) - Abd has been here since 2005 and has rapidly familiarized himself with Misplaced Pages policies and procedures. He is a prolific writer whose analytical thinking, reasoned responses and willingness to delve into complex matters and see them through to their conclusion will likely prove useful in investigating situations and dealing with them fairly and thoroughly.

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

I accept the gracious and unexpected nomination. Abd 06:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

While I am currently heavily involved in some struggles against what I see as the propaganda use of Misplaced Pages by a political organization, I am actually far more interested in what Misplaced Pages is and what it can become than I am in any particular special cause. It dovetails with my major work, which I will explain in detail and make accessible. I would consider it my responsibility to use administrative privileges only in pursuit of the realization of Misplaced Pages ideals, assisting users as needed and to the extent that I can make myself available, trusting the informed community consensus, and not to advance any personal goals other than this. I'm a firm believer that freedom of thought and expression, bounded by certain necessities, are essential for intelligence. Abd 06:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

1. Oppose Sorry, but you edit count is just way too low for me to support this RfA. nat 18:33, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
2. Oppose. Not enough experience to demonstrate a good handle on policy nor to demonstrate trustwortiness. Please don't let this RFA discourage you from contributing. Build up a few thousand edits, especially in admin-like areas, such as WP:XFD and WP:AIV, then you will have my support. I recommend withdrawing this RFA. Useight 18:45, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
3. Oppose More experience required. Also, I am curious as to why the candidate did not answer the questions if he is interested in adminship. Miranda 19:45, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

   And, I am also worried that this candidate may be biased and not have a neutral point of view in some articles due to his userpage. Miranda 19:51, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

4. Oppose 247 total edits is not enough to judge whether you have a solid grasp of Misplaced Pages policies & guidelines. Please withdraw and try again in the future. — Scientizzle 19:47, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
5. No NHRHS2010 19:53, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
6. No'. 5 edits to wikipedia space? That doesn't prove that this user knows the policies. --Hirohisat 19:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
