I don't want to be antagonistic, but as it stands I can't endorse someone
for
sysop powers who is both this new to wikipedia and who
does not answer
questions on their user talk page or on talk pages on articles they

I tend to agree with Sacha - There are bound to be people wanting Sysop
rights right away... Ive been around for a few months now. ( I think) And I
dont want to ask for them, because they would require I tenor my language
somewhat beyond what I do already under threats of censure.... Too soon, not
being necessarily an issue of age, but of loyalty to the WP, and a firm and
demonstrated understanding of its politics... politics is an immature and
crafty business... I would suggest the minimum be around 6 months of solid
work and demonstrated issues resolution before sysopdom...
