#::I read through your response, and the qualification page you filled out. However, I remain unconvinced you would be a fully competent admin that wouldn't just be a handy janitor. Your linked examples of dispute resolution skills really didn't do anything to change my prior judgment. And I don't think pacifism is a beneficial trait for an admin; an admin needs to be fully willing to get involved in conflicts, confront users, and be willing to be strict when problems arise. However, I do think you have potential, and will be observing you for the coming months, to better gauge your admin capabilities for when you make another RfA down the line. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 18:13, 16 November 2015 (EST) | #::I read through your response, and the qualification page you filled out.

#Changing my vote again to '''oppose'''. Simply put, your comment that you have been trying to impress people just goes to further my point. But whether or not you do stop it if you're promoted, it means you weren't, and as far as I can tell still aren't, ready for admin powers. You shouldn't have to ''try''; if you were ready to handle a position of power like this, it would come more naturally. And as much as I hate receiving this type of answer, I'm forced to give it: wait. Stick around. Stop trying so hard, and just be a part of the community. Until it's clear that you're ready and not just because you've been striving to be perfect, I can't support this. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|<font color="brown">a turkey</font>]]!

#:Changing my vote to '''neutral, leaning very slightly towards oppose'''. While, yes, you have been improving a lot since you applied, it all seems to be based around impressing us rather than actually being useful, which, while it is not inherently a bad thing, is a good implication that your improvements may halt once you become admin and no longer need to impress us. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|<font color="brown">a turkey</font>]]!

#::Yes, I will admit that I've been trying to impress people, but if I somehow implicated that was my only goal, I sincerely apologize, as that was not my intention. It's quite the opposite actually, while yes, I do want to impress people, I also want to improve for me as well, as I kick myself for not trying hard enough on Bulbapedia, and not trying hard enough on here when I first join. Whether this succeeds or fails, I plan on continuing improving, I plan on finding new ways to help around the wiki, and with Serpent recently starting to teach me more advanced coding for making templates, etc., I feel like I can contribute even more to the wiki than I ever could before, and that's what I will do, no matter the outcome. I appreciate your concerns, and I once again apologize if my actions have seemed in any way malicious or misguided.

#'<s>''Neutral, slightly towards support''' Not sure if you deserved to pass and become an admin in my eyes. But recently, I see you working hard diligently. You went from being questionable candidate to more of the better admin candidates I seen before. Should you keep it up and show more of what you are capable of? I will change my opinion.
