Hello CollinGill. I noticed you, or another editor created a Requests for Adminship page under your name, and I was wondering as to what the status of that request might be. Please note that new users are rarely successful at RfA and that the Wikipedia editing community sets an extremely high bar for potential administrator candidates. That being said, I strongly urge you to read Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship, Wikipedia:Adminship 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.

- Oh, okay. Thanks, and sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. CollinGill (talk) 21:06, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
- If you would like me to delete the page, I will do so. Don't take this as a "you will never pass" by the way, it is just very unlikely right now that you would have a successful RfA. Come back in a year or so after steady editing, and you will have a much better chance. Please read the blue links above that are also very helpful. Eagles 24/7 (C) 21:12, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
