User talk:Karlis/A message to the community

When I say this people are probably going to think I am trying to convince you I should have passed my RfA, but I just want to say some things. On my first RfA, people commented on things that happened more than a half year ago. I got comments about this incident, and I got comments about editing just for credits, and just wanting adminship as status symbol. A bit more than a year ago, Liquidhelium nominated himself for adminship. He got almost only Not yets or Opposes. Less than one month later he got nominated for adminship by Halo, and he passed his RfA with almost only supports on it. People believed he had changed enough in that single month to change their votes from oppose to support. While people forgave him for what he had done wrong in that single month, people still didn't forgive things I had done wrong more than a half year before my RfA. Again, this might look like I am trying to convince you I should be admin, but I am not. I am just saying what my view on what Karlis said here is. 14:18, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
