RfA Blurb
I've decided to nominate myself (risky by my own admission) because I'm finding myself spending more and more time here doing odd jobs that would be much easier/only be possible with adminship. I've gradually been coming here more often since the end of last year, and I've noticed quite a few spam pages take a while to be deleted.

As a bureaucrat on Avatar Wiki and an admin on a few other wikis such as Wikianswers, I have gathered a lot of experience in using admin rights. I try to help out as much as I can on the IRC channel #wikia and on the forums here. When I find the time, I also hang out on the IRC channel #cvn-wikia and revert vandalism across Wikia where needed.

Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Thanks! Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 13:32, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Support

 * Support SUL 16:02, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Oppose

 * Strong Oppose:You only have been active for 6 days. This doesn't qualify you to become admin on Central. I don't see that much contributions on forums or marking images with i. Be here at least for few months, and then ask for adminship. In addition, I don't think we need more admins here.-- BlueDevil Talk 16:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * According to, he has been editing at Central Wikia for 8 months. SUL 16:29, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, but not actively. Also, fixing redirects doesn't need admin rights.-- BlueDevil Talk 16:32, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I was aware, and I am still aware, that the main issue with this RfA here is the issue of my length of time here, and I admit that this may be a problem for many. I understand you opposing on those grounds; I thought that quite a few would think that anyway, so fair enough. However, I do take issue with the comment with redirects. I never claimed fixing redirects needed admin rights, so it's not very cheering that you seem to think I think that. Also, the only reason I ever bothered to fix redirects (I know it can be done much less painfully by bot) was because that bot never seemed to run very often.
 * I would disagree with the comment that there are enough admins. There are quite a lot of maintenance tasks that need to be done by those with admin rights. There are dozens of templates that are superseded, no longer used, or simply didn't need to exist in the first place. I started looking through those yesterday, and I intend to mark quite a few for deletion. There are hundreds of unused images. This is just to begin with.
 * However, as I said, I completely understand your basic reason for opposing, and I have no intention of challenging that. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 11:48, 7 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose: While you do edit here, you seem to do minor things that anyone can do that don't require admin rights, as BlueDevil pointed out. There are a couple things in your blurb that I disagree with, but they aren't relavent to adminship at Central, so I won't comment on them. While you're a nice guy, there just doesn't seem to be a valid need to be an admin right now. I also agree that there are plenty of admins at the moment, and the current lot seem to take care of things. And only recently becoming active for 6 days and then jumping into an RfA is also a concern. This doesn't seem to be the right time. Keep on watching central for irrelevant and spam pages, spend some more time here on central helping out, and perhaps try again at a later time. Cheers. -- 16:51, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think some of things I have been doing around here, particularly recently, as "minor", but you're obviously entitled to your opinion. :) I probably know which bits of my blurb that you disagree with; I've been able to discern which bits from my interaction with you on IRC. However, like you said, that is quite irrelevant. Like I said above, I completely understand that you may not think I've been around long enough.

 * Strong oppose: For reasons stated by BlueDevil and Charitwo. However, I appreciate the spam-fighting you do on other wikis. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 17:53, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's good to know at least one person appreciates what I do, thanks. I rarely hear any appreciation, except occasionally from local admins. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 11:48, 7 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose: Not active enough, nor does he need admin rights to carry on with his regular business here. Per Charitwo and BlueDevil; not now. ~Joey~  ^Talk^  17:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I particularly dislike this oppose reason, but I'd prefer to keep the reasons to myself. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 11:48, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Anyone...? Scared of me? :P Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 13:58, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I was going to add my support earlier, but there was a problem with the servers. SUL 16:04, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, SUL, I appreciate it quite a lot. :) I'm going to close this RfA myself; I'd rather not waste my time in a cause I myself believe had cracks in the first place. I concede, most significantly, that I haven't been here long enough. Even though I have strong objections to some of the feedback I was given, I appreciate that you took the time to give it.
