User:Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (gotta love the name) has been around since February, is approaching 1,000 edits, and is an active member of the Wikipedia community. I think he would make a fine admin. -- Danny

Support:
 * 1) Seems cool-headed (would you expect otherwise from someone from Iceland?) -- Viajero 11:53, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
 * 2) Support - good choice. 172 13:23, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

 * 5) Assuming that Ævar, son of Bjarmi, is not related to Halfdan the Half-troll, by way of Erik Njorl, son of Frothgar... --Wik 14:56, May 18, 2004 (UTC)

 * 8) A user who receives support from Wik, something seen on this page about as frequently as the deity Ævar worships, has probably the most ringing endorsement one could possibly get. In fact, the sense of humor rather makes me wonder what impersonator got a hold of Wik's password. Anyway, I find nothing wrong, and the shortage of substantive edits is compensated for by the work on images. --Michael Snow 20:00, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

 * 10) Support firmly. Beelzebubs
 * 11) Cool, cool-headed, nice hair_=)  --Merovingian &#8597; T@Lk 06:02, May 19, 2004 (UTC)
 * 12) I suppose you'll tell me he wasn't one already. Fennec 19:21, May 19, 2004 (UTC)

 * 14) john 21:25, 19 May 2004 (UTC) My god, Wik supports somebody for adminship? And makes a joke?  That's enough for me.
 * 15) Agree with John. :-) Also, no big deal if he hasn't done a lot of content writing, as long as he's trustworthy and wants to pitch in on site maintainance. Isomorphic 21:41, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
 * 16) Support. Notwithstanding 5/t typing errors. - MykReeve 22:47, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
 * 17) Support. Fredrik 18:30, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
 * 18) Support. Good image work.  +sj+
 * 19) Support. Nohat 14:20, 2004 May 22 (UTC)

Oppose:
 * 1) I'd want to see more substantive edits. Charles Matthews 15:41, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
 * 2) Have to agree with Charles Matthews. Has about 800 edits but not enough breadth for me. About 100 of these concern Little Belt bridge, about 50 Flag of Iceland. -- Cecropia | Talk 19:30, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Although Wik's support shouldn't cause the editor to be "Crucified on a Cross of Wik," I don't see how this encouraged three users to support. Must be a full moon. -- Cecropia | Talk 21:56, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
 * 1) Not yet enough community experience, IMHO. Kingturtle 06:07, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

Comments:
 * Charles Matthews: You are right that most of my edits here are not substantive, most of what i do here is pure maintanance, fixing licence notices, spelling errors ( adding and fixing them ;). I do however sometimes write/rewrite/expand articles such as Flag of Iceland, Little Belt Bridge (1935), Screenshot, WiX and currently Banjo-Kazooie, Cheers;) --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 17:26, 2004 May 18 (UTC)


 * How do you pronounce your name :) ?? MvHG 09:59, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
