To Harrypotterexpert101... While originally I thought that you were qualified and only had the flaw of being new, I can now see that I was incorrect and that you do indeed have another flaw: your personality.

You do not get along well with anyone who disagrees with you. You come off as passive-aggressive, or worse, combative in every exchange with them. You seem to think you're intitled to the position of bureaucrat and become visibly distressed whenever someone challenges that notion. You come off as hypocritical when you criticize everyone else for a lack of mainspace edits despite the fact that you yourself do not have that many mainspace edits on this wiki.

An Administrator/Bureaucrat needs the support and trust of the community. They need to be able to handle challenging situations dispassionately and calmly, even when the person they are conversing with is neither dispassionate nor calm.

You have the technical skills necessary. You have the experience. But you do not yet, in my opinion, have the proper attitude that is mandatory for any and all positions of responsibility.

That, however, is solely my own opinion. The community as a whole may decide that you are the best choice. They may choose you. I'll accept it if they do. However, if you are chosen, I hope that you take my words to heart and seek to better yourself. Take everyone's words to heart, in fact. The true challenge of leading any community is listening to feedback and seeking to appease everyone, even knowing that you'll never please everyone.

What are the most important words a man can say? I will do better. Learn from every situation and seek to improve yourself and those around you. That is true of me, you, and everyone else on this world.

No matter what happens, I hope that the decision reached is one that will improve the wiki. Thank you for reading.
