final (86/0/0) ending 21:55 March 2, 2006 (UTC)

– Dakota has been with us since August 2005, and has amassed 2,500 edits, with a good balance of edits to articles (875), user and article talk (957), project (567), and she's great at using edit summaries. She's been helping to deal with vandalism, has made herself familiar with AfD, has voted for people in RfAs, just missed getting a seat on the Esperanza advisory committee in their December elections, and has in general become part of the community. On top of all that, she's an incredibly kind person, always civil, and a joy to have around. I feel she'll be even more of an asset as an admin, and it's my privilege to nominate her.

 * 3) Support, no real reason not to. Nacon kantari   e |t||c|m 22:00, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) Strong support. We need more admins like Dakota. I agree with everything that SlimVirgin said, especially that she's civil and kind (in my view, the two most important qualities in administrators). AnnH ♫ 22:03, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) Strong support. I thought she already was one. -- Tantalum T  e  lluride  22:07, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 6) Support - the nomination says it all. (ESkog)(Talk) 22:07, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 7) Support I don't want to be a hypocrite to another user so actually this should be a Weak support. Sorry Dakota. Reason for a weak oppose being of low article (main namespace) edit count. I recently voted oppose to a user because he had few edits in the main namespace (but he actually has more than Dakota). The reason I support is because she's a great Wikipedian and a loyal friend at that and would make a fine admin over all. I don't see her abusing admin tools either so I defiantly support. M o e   ε  22:11, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
 * A. I anticipate being able to help with Afd after concensus is met and speedy deletions backlogs also with the copyrighted image backlogs though I will not do that until I have experience and consult with others as I know images can not be undeleted. I have dealt with vandalism many times and it would very helpful to have the rollback feature as my popups don't always work and being able to block when it is necessary. I would also like to be able help with page protection as needed.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. It is the article Jean Spangler, not one our most popular' that has pleased me most to write because it was a challenge and secondly my articles on Owls. I would like to work on completion    of the entire Owl category as time passes. I was able to work on the Featured Article Candidate Katie Holmes which I enjoyed.
 * 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 have been in no really serious conflicts over editing. I have editors question me about edits      but have always been able to come to a compromise. I remember one in particular where I put a notice to verify by providing sources and the author questioned about why he had to provide sources. I was  able to provide him with the reasons why by directing him to the Wikipedia link citing the requirement and we came to agree I believe.
