Commander Keane
Final (46/0/1) ended 11:56 5 November 2005 (UTC)

– A solid reliable editor, involved with lots of disambiguation, a decent behind-the-scenes editor who is quite active on wp:rd too. Wonderfool 11:56, 29 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:
 * I accept.--Commander Keane 13:55, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Support
 * 1) Support - I have seen him do great work on disambiguation link repair and but for my watchlist, I'd have not known of the lengths he had gone to in repairing the links. He uses edit summaries almost always with precise and to-the-point text. An admin status would definitely help him do some of the tasks that he has already been doing in a much faster way - and thus improve his productivity. The only complaint I have against him is that he is so humble that he marks most of his edits as minor. He is a trustworthy editor and hence I believe that he would also be an asset to wikipedia as admin. --Gurubrahma 14:15, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 4) --Wonderfool t(c) 14:58, 29 October 2005 (UTC). I was gonna mention the fact hu almost always calls them "minor" edits. But it really doesn't matter. Vote per nom
 * 5) Disambiguate... er... support. A fine contributor and project leader who I would have gladly nominated myself! BD2412  talk 15:00, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 11) Support, seems to be a valuable candidate. Good work. --Sn0wflake 17:14, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 12) Support highly valuable candidate. Robywayne's analysis seems to indicate that not only is Commander Keane's dedication to Wikipedia longstanding, but it continues to grow. There have been a very high amount of edits on some recent days. Good job! Jacqui  ★ 17:23, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 16) Support. Okay, I know the "ITHAWO" comment is thrown around a lot--but I really did think the Commander was one. He has always been helpful and courteous in our exchanges.  He is a pleasure to work with and he definitely deserves the key to the janitors' closet.  >: Roby Wayne Talk &bull; Hist &bull; E@ 23:01, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 17) Support. The commander has been very active on the Disambiguation project.  He seems to have the knack of being able to disagree with somebody without being unpleasant or impolite; an important skill for somebody who is to be entrusted with the mop.  --RoySmith 23:19, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 18) Support --Rogerd 23:49, 29 October 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.
 * Spending much time at the Help desk/General complaints I'm often in need of knowledge and application of blocking/unblocking etc
 * Rollback and deletion would be very useful on my tour of Newpages
 * I was rather frustrated that I couldn't help out with the backlog at Requested moves
 * No doubt my propensity for tasks like link repair will lead me other admin related duties.


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A.
 * It's a little out of date now, but RobyWayne's generated statistics indicate my valued contributions.
 * The link above has just been updated for the Commander. >: Roby Wayne Talk &bull; Hist &bull; E@ 00:30, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2005 Tour de France was an exicting editing experience, as was the compilation of its riders list, which was/is the best source of rider information easily accessible on the internet - that's what Wikipedia can do.
 * Disambiguation link repair is something which I have invested much time in and enjoy.


 * 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.
 * Sure, conflict occaisionally (less than a dozen times) occurs in my disambiguation work and elsewhere and the way to deal with it is disucssion and compromise - making sure that both parties know what the community's opinion is, and what's best for Wikipedia.
