+Administrator
I'd like to be an admin. Lately, some people have been putting some unwanted pictures on my talk page, and also, I think I could really help the Cookbook if I was an admin. I've made many edits (I lost track) and corrected misinformation on the Cookbook. --Iwatchaltonbrown


 * Oppose Not convinced by your contributions to the Cookbook that you are able to maintain a NPOV, which is an important Wikibooks policy, or that you have corrected misinformation to the Cookbook. For example "[ thanks for butchering it grilling and braising aren't barbecuing]" when attempts were made to make a page more neutral, saying that "[ chili powder isn't hot at all]", "[ People often use boiling to cook pork ribs quickly, albeit yet mushy and flavorless]", "[ there isnt anything called a peck in store bought ketchup theres no cloves no allspice no dry mustard no pepper and its corn syrup not sugar]]", etc. The last leaves me wondering where your contributions are coming from (as well as what store brought ketchup has to do with that page, store brought ketchup was not mentioned anywhere). --dark lama  01:46, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I'll try to make my edits better. --Iwatchaltonbrown
 * Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - Sorry, I don't feel that you are really a part of the community. I haven't seen you helping new users, participating in community discussions, or really doing anything beyond your edits in the Cookbook. I don't mean to degrade what you're doing (though it may not be perfect), but administrators need to be well-versed in what goes on inside the community. At a minimum, I'd expect to see some activity with VFD or in the reading rooms helping new users. &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 11:36, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Symbol oppose vote.svg While I normally would have no problem with someone editing in one area, the contributions raised by Darklama are concerning. Also you don't need adminship to deal with unwanted pictures, unless you plan to start using the banhammer (A Very Bad Thing). Come back with more experience and I will probably support you.
