Wikipedia:Online Ambassadors/Apply/ctnarayanan
Appearance
- The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a unsuccessful Online Ambassador application.
Not right now, per comments. OAs should already be fairly experienced Wikipedians - do some more work around the wiki and try again in a few months. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:18, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Endorsements
[edit](2 Endorsements are needed for online ambassador approval).
- Oppose This user only has two edits (one to their user page, and one to here). Unless there is another account that exists, I don't see any necessary experience needed to be an ambassador. Of note, the user e-mailed me earlier today and asked to apply for the entire program this morning, and when I went to see if he would be a good candidate, I ran into this.

- Oppose per Kevin, and the poorly filled out application. The Interior (Talk) 16:40, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose I'm sorry, but how you've filled out the application shows an inexperience with Wikipedia. Experience with our policies and Wiki markup is essential for being an online ambassador. ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 20:49, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose -Per new account and wrong purpose. "Improving my writing skills" is a poor reason to want to become an OA since you'll be asked to guide undergrad/grad students and review their work.Smallman12q (talk) 00:02, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
