Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/Think Fast

+Administrator
I would like to become an admin for the purpose of doing work on books themselves in a more efficient way. Currently I am working on the Spanish Wikibook. The main task I am performing is moving pages so that naming is consistent and logical. Redirects remain even though they serve no purpose. I would rather be able to delete these pages than to have to request this from some other admin who must be notified, review the history, make a decision, and carry out the action.

I admit that I do not have as many edits (I have provided a table below) as are probably necessary to become an admin without opposition. However, this is in part due to the fact that my edits are spread out among six projects. (If you look at my total edits, you will see that I actually have over 1300 total edits.)


 * Wikibooks - 312
 * Wikipedia - 637
 * Wikisource - 163
 * Wiktionary - 240
 * Spanish Wikipedia - 12
 * Spanish Wikibooks - 19
 * Total - 1383

I hope that you will support my request. --Think Fast 18:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I am leaving for a week and will not be able to answer any questions. Feel free to leave any questions on my talk page.  I will get to them when I get back.  --Think Fast 20:59, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose Really small number of edits, I don't belive given reason is sufficent for granting sysop rights. Anyone can insert &#123;{delete}} to mark page useless. --Derbeth talk 21:35, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose This is for Wikibooks a very small number of edits, and we aren't that desperate for new admins at the moment. In contrast to the User:Hagindaz request, you havn't really been active outside of the couple of Wikibooks you have participated in, and are not able to demonstrate that you have an understanding of the current policies, nor any opinion on the future of Wikibooks.  With a few exceptions, the admins here have been pretty good about clearing out the speedy deletion category.  Besides, even with the deletion ability as an admin, I still try to use the &#123;{delete}} tag myself just to get a second opinion on most pages I feel need to be removed.  Your nomination suggests you might be killing pages that shouldn't be removed, if only from inexperience.  --Rob Horning 17:24, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I know you mean well, but your contribution history shows that not only do you have a relatively small number of edits, but you also only seem to edit 1 or two days each month. If you are going to only be contributing 2 days each month, it's hard to justify your need for additional resources and responsibilities. Such spurious editing hardly makes me confidant that you will be productive or reliable in the future. If you need a page deleted, mark it with &#123;{delete}}. If you see vandalism, clean it up and report it at WB:VIP. If you become a more active user here for a good period of time, I will change my vote. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 17:25, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Just like Derbeth said. Very new to the project and by what you described you can handle things without admin tools. -Matt 21:31, 17 June 2006 (UTC)


 * User removed request. -Matt 14:22, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
