Longhair
final (50/0/0) ending 03:16 August 1, 2005 (UTC)

Longhair has been around since August 31, 2004; he's always around doing something to better the Wiki. I've run across him vandal fighting and welcoming new users; I believe he may be one of the most prolific welcomers around (except Redwolf24, of course). He has 12116 edits across all namespaces. If anyone deserves to be an admin, this is the guy. Essjay -·  Talk 03:34, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * 48) Support I was going to go neutral just to bring some variety to this vote, but what the hey. If both Denelson and EssJay agree on this so closely following their tiff, that's good enough for me.Karmafist 00:43, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Would just like to note, for those who might not follow the link below, that the arbitration case mentioned below was started by Longhair, it was not against Longhair, and the result was to ban the other user, with no sanctions or other condemnation of Longhair. Didn't want anyone to see "arbitration" and think the wrong thing.
 * I see large part of your contributions is adding categories: it is often better to use fewer categories than overcategorise, especially for biographies. Pavel Vozenilek 21:40, 25 July 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. Providing stronger opposition to persistant vandals is something that I've been lacking control of and I'd be happy to be able to assist more there. As I become more aware of the need for assistance with other admin functions I'll gladly help out where needed. -- Longhair | Talk 03:55, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. Choosing a favourite article or contribution is like choosing the best child. From the bunch I nominate Robert Trimbole, the Anita Cobby murder and Remand. Whilst those articles still contain some holes, I regard them as being among my personal bests. -- Longhair | Talk 03:55, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 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. The only conflict that comes to mind is my run-in with Internodeuser, which led to my first and only Arbitration case. Throughout the conflict I remained calm, civil and saw the process through to the end without resorting to immaturity. -- Longhair | Talk 03:55, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
