Cedar-Guardian
[ Vote here] (12/2/2) ending 17:07 September 10 2005 (UTC) - I have been registered in Wikipedia since February (not counting some edits I made anonymously) and my editcounter have reached more than 2000. I'm most interested in maintenance work, supporting new projects, organisation. I'm also very strict over Wikipedia policies, especially the NPOV policy. --CG 17:07, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

 * 9) Very emphatically support. I haven't voted in this forum for a while, as recent nominations have tended to names I haven't recognized. I'm pleased to see a name that is not only familiar to me, but one for which I have a very high regard.  Cedar Guardian has worked hard to remove POV from Lebanese-related articles, and has taken a strong stand against persistent POV-vandals.  At all times, I have found him to be courteous, fair-minded, and even-handed in his dealings. By the way, what he has on his user page is his own business.  Give him a break!

 * OK, I support. Andre ( talk ) 20:04, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Support. C-G has an incredible 562 edits in the Wikipedia namespace, and 2410 edits overall as of now. It's obvious he's interested in organization, and of course, his own geographical area of Lebanon.  My sample check of his edits show C-G to be fair in his editing, but just a bit "out of sync" with knowing some of "the cabal."  That's fine. . . C-G was very nice in responding to Ambi from what I saw.  And the time C-G asked the Help Desk on where to place replies to other editors (C-G's space or the other editor's) shows a mark of humility.  I judge C-G as trustworthy, and vote to promote to administrator status.  --avnative 21:39, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) Oppose for not amending user page to make it visible to people who don't use Internet Explorer. Wikipedia should be accessible to all. Willing to reconsider if this change is made. David | Talk 14:53, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 06:15, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) I have never heard of you. R  e  dwolf24  (talk) 21:22, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) User is keen, but perhaps should have a little more experience before becoming an admin. Ambi 10:36, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Comments
 * User page is broken or uses unorthodox code. I think users should have a clear user page, especially admins. David | Talk 13:53, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * His user page looks great in my IE, but is a bit of a mess in Firefox. the wub  "?/!"  17:52, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Respond to the posts stating that I should change my User page because it's not suitable for navigators other than Internet explorer. I'm really sorry but most of the code of this page is copied from another one. I've just made few minor changes. I'm not really good at CSS and creating tables. But I'm willing to accept if someone could change my User page for me to make it suitable for all navigators. CG 11:22, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't know if I'm allowed to, but I've posted a reponse about an opposing vote made by User:Ambi. Please could you read it here and state your comments. Thank you. CG 09:35, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. I am currently watching a lot of controversial articles that get vandalised a lot and reverting automatically comes real handful.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I like mostly to visit the Village pump and the Reference Desk. I am into supporting new interesting projects and proposals and organising the Wikipedia and Template namespace. And being an Arabic and French native, I enjoy answering to translations request.
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. I remember two long conflicts: One concerning some information in the Cedar revolution article that wasn't documented, and where we didn't reach any consensus, and another in the Samir Geagea article over NPOV where the user left wikipedia without being able to reach a consensus. I mostly defend my opinon by branding ahead, and applying Wikipedia policies.
