Rama
final (52/0/0) ending 18:30 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Good solid editor, been here since last summer, total of 3868 edits. During debates he tries to keep things on track, and doesn't go for personal attacks. Knows a sufficient number of languages to be REALLY useful cross-wiki too!

 * In the idea that "adminship should be not big deal", and sensitive to this honour, I accept the nomination. Rama 21:10, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Support
 * 1) Kim Bruning 18:39, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC) The first one's free ;-)
 * 2) Support. Rama's a great editor and a nice person, always reasonable, sticks to policy, cares about neutrality, fairness, and using good sources, and is always civil. SlimVirgin (talk)  18:47, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Support. Considering it occured to me the other day that maybe I should nominate Rama, how could I not support? A great Wikipedian: friendly, constructive, trustworthy, etc. He will make a good admin. &mdash; Trilobite (Talk) 19:03, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * See if he keeps his campaign promises. ;-) -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 04:26, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Support. A quick look at his contributions talls me Rama is a great Wikipedian; a glance at his user page tells me Rama is also probably a great person. :p Phils 10:08, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * 14) Support.  I like the pictures.  ;)  And I am amazed that anyone could be so compassionate in so many languages.  Ahem; I am merely extrapolating to the more than four other languages, am I not?  ---Rednblu | Talk 18:04, 30 Apr 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. Mostly RC patrol. Also, I might occasionally be able to refrain from bothering administrators about deleting pages which I would habe created by mistake or temporarly.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I am unexplainly happy about Image:Recovery_position.jpg, yatate and FS Dupleix (1861).
 * 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 will deal with it in the future?
 * A. Although Wikipedia is a project in which I have a great faith, I am not attached to my "virtual identity" to the point where I would actually get stressed; also, I do not think that Wikipedia absolutely has to elvolve on short periods of time, and I am confident that things will always be sorted out eventually.
 * This being said, I have ran across people whose views were strongly worded; I have learned that very few people are ill-intended, and that interacting normally with them leads to a normal conversation most of the time. I have no theory as to what motivates the few others, but I notice that they get discouraged after a short time. One sad thing is being taken in a cross-fire between two "camps"; in such cases, standing firmly to exactly what one means, being extremely precise and staying systematic in the examination of the arguments helps make the discussion elvolve.
