Admin
I appreciate your desire to contribute to wikipedia as an administrator. However given that your account is so new and you have been previously vandalizing wikipedia, there is no chance that you will be granted those extra responsibilities yet. The good news is that you don't need to be an administrator to contribute to most areas of wikipedia, and you can help write and protect articles with your current account. I would recommend that you read the above links to familiarize yourself with our rules and guidelines, and then edit wikipedia in accordance with those policies. If a year down the line you have clearly demonstrated your understanding of those rules, and dedication to the project, the community is likely to trust you with additional responsibilities. In the meantime, have fun building this encyclopedia (rather than vandalizing it). Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 05:00, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Vandalism warnings
It's good that you are helping remove vandalism from wikipedia. However we need to be civil to editors even if they are vandalizing articles, and it is inappropriate to abuse them as you have been doing recently (, etc). Instead, you should use the standardized user warning templates, which are listed at Misplaced Pages:UTM, and which inform the editor why their edit is wrong and try to direct them towards more productive editing.
