Nufy8

 * Final tally (36/2/0) ended 00:02 31 August 2005 (UTC)

- Nufy8 has accumulated over 2300 edits since he joined us in December 2004, making not only quality edits to articles, but mutiple reverts of vandalism. In fact, Nufy8's user page has been vandalised over 60 times now, a testament to his great vandalism-fighting skills. He continually reverts vandalism to both user pages and articles, and he has been praised several times for his vandal-fighting prowess. Thus, I believe that Nufy8 is ready to take on the duties of adminship. --Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 00:02, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Support
 * 1) I guess I must support as nominator... Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk  00:03, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) NSR (talk) 00:36, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Too cute nick to oppose. Of course thats not the reason. --Cool Cat My Talk 01:44, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Support. Excellent RC patroller. I see his name numerous times when I am on RC. Thunderbrand 02:55, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) Support, good work. Func( t, c, @,) 03:04, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) Strong Support. I have never once seen a reason not to make Nufy an admin, and many reasons, in his valiant constant editing and reverting and reasonableness to make him one. --Maru 03:46, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) Support User page vandalized 68 times? o_O Give this guy a mop already. Acetic Acid 04:20, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * o_O Two more times since I voted? Poor guy. Acetic Acid 05:21, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Support.  ral  315  05:03, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) It is my opinion that users who receive that much vandalism deserve to have their pages protected. It's not "unwiki", because a userpage is no place for that riffraff; take it to the talk page.  --Merovingian (t) (c) 07:34, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Support - meets my standards. Good luck! &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 20:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC) 08:26, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Support. Certainly. -- Essjay ·   Talk 09:22, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) Support. Tireless vandal fighter who would only be more effective with an adminship. Everything that I can see in his contribution history suggests that he is humble and level-headed. I have no reservations. Fernando Rizo T/C 09:38, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) Support. Provided he doesn't talk about Harry Potter's sex life. Redwolf24 18:17, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) Support. Excellent vandal fighter.  Hall Monitor 18:19, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Support. While I don't think I've seen you in action, after reading your answers and looking over your contribs, I think you'd make an excellent admin. Good luck! -- MicahMN | μ 18:31, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 9) Support EdwinHJ | Talk 18:32, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 10) Support Good responsible editor. Jtkiefer  T - 18:55, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * 11) Absolutely support. I see him all the time on RC patrol; he reverts vandalism very quickly. And how could I have awarded him a vandal whacking stick and not support him? :) Jaxl | talk 19:45, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 12) Support. For reasons that have already been mentioned --Mysidia (talk) 20:59, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * 19) Support - you can bet your bottom dollar that if you're about to revert a piece of vandalism, Nufy8 will have beaten you to it. Very rapid, very dedicated. Hand him the mop at once. Rob Church Talk 23:59, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Oppose Neutral
 * 1) --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 07:09, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose &mdash;2400 edits in all of 9 months. That much too small for the long length of time.  Journalist   C.[[Image:Smilie.gif|30px]] Holla @ me!
 * I don't mean to be anal, but I see you've supported a candidate who has around 4100 edits in 15 months, which is about the same ratio as my 2500 in 9 months. I respect your vote, and although this may seem like I want to garner as many supports as possible, I simply ask that you keep the above fact in mind. Nufy8 21:52, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Comments
 * I would like to know, what percentage specifically would you consider to be consensus when closing a VfD or related function? Hamster Sandwich 20:26, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with the guideline Consensus: a two-thirds majority. Which, of course, is around 65% for a specific percentage. Nufy8 20:50, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Then you have my support. Adminship is at least partially about accountabilty to the community. Hamster Sandwich 20:54, 25 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Although I've already voted, and have no intention of changing it; I'd like to know your reaction to Journalist's rationale: do you think that a portfolio consisting of largely vandal-fighting is sufficient? Or should there be more content-creation than content-protection? --Maru 14:51, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe I've done both, and would prefer it to be that way. None of the articles I've created are stubs, and most of them have quite a lot of content. Also, on a page like Ulic Qel-Droma, I've pretty much written all of the article's content. That being said, I will admit that aside from vandal fighting, most of the edits I contribute to articles are for corrections in English; grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. I like to think that I've struck somewhat of a balance between vandal fighting, content addition, and English correction.

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. Mainly, I plan to utilize the rollback feature to aid in my RC patrolling, and when the need arises, block vandals in accordance with policy. I will also see to occasionally clearing out CSD.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. In terms of article content, I'm happy with all of the articles I've created, along with many of the articles I've worked heavily on (such as Star Wars articles and Half-Life articles), because I believe I've imparted all I know to help better said articles. Other than that, I'm all around pleased with my efforts to curb vandalism.
 * 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. Some minor instances of conflicts in editing, but nothing major. If the need arises, I'm always happy to discuss a dispute on the respective article's talk page as an alternative to engaging in an edit war. Unfortunately, while I attempt to keep a level head and civil tone, others are not always so willing to be professional. Still, I will continue to show civility in any possible future conflicts.
