Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Gaz

User:Gaz
I made my first edit on 23 Jan 2003 and have been (mostly) active since then. Recently I have focused my attention more on images. I would like adminship to enable me to clean up orphaned images and to revert vandalism when I find it. I am a programmer and database administrator and would also like the ability to create mySQL queries. - Gaz 11:42, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * FYI, just some numbers: 738 edits, and note he's been here since 2003

Support:
 * 1) Perl 12:37, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * 2) Support gladly. Gaz is a true gentleman and a pleasure to work with. I should have nominated him myself. Tannin 12:42, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Oppose:
 * 1) Less than 1000 edits. That is not many considering the amount of time the user has been here. Also, usage has been sporatic, including a 2 month hiatus. Gaz didn't really catch fire until February 2004. Try another nomination in May 2004, IMHO. Kingturtle 02:13, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Neutral:
 * 1) Gaz has done good work here, but it's about 5-6 weeks too early to be nominating yourself.  I suggest waiting, Gaz: the reason we draw a distinction between self-nominations and other-nominations is that we have a lot of users who arrive with seemingly the singleminded goal of being admin, which is almost always a very bad idea.  I don't think this is the case with you, but I don't want to set a bad precedent.  If you're not an admin by the second week of April, I'll nominate you myself. Jwrosenzweig 16:58, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * 2) * Note: Gaz's request looks more like Gaz wants to be a developer? If that's true, there isn't a vote (weird as this sounds) -- you just have to convince a developer (like Tim Starling) that you should be one, which isn't too hard, I hear.  Didn't know if that would be of interest to Gaz. Jwrosenzweig 17:00, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * 3) ** Er, folks Gaz has been here since January 2003, as in 14 months, not two. In case that makes a difference. Fuzheado 17:04, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * 4) ***My apologies for apparently being unable to read the years properly. I guess I have to say I don't know Gaz well enough to vote, then, but I wish him luck. Jwrosenzweig 17:15, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * 5) BCorr ¤ &#1041;&#1088;&#1072;&#1081;&#1077;&#1085;  16:11, Mar 11, 2004 (UTC) -- I'm only opposed because I think it's a bit too soon in this case, and I didn't see enough of Gaz's comments on talk pages to get a good enough sense of how well this user "plays with others." Seems to be a good contributor, and I'd support with a bit more time and interactions with others on talk pages.
 * 6) *Exactly the same thing -- my apologies! BCorr ¤ &#1041;&#1088;&#1072;&#1081;&#1077;&#1085; 17:27, Mar 11, 2004 (UTC)
