 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I hereby graciously accept my nomination

Support
 * 1) Support Reasons stated above Mrbowtie 18:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Support After reading all the negative opposition, I intially wasn't going to vote, but I felt guilty, as he requested my help in this vote and I once requested his help in a vote against deletion, so it is my obligation to vote in favour. Jareand 00:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

ur responses to the RfA questions and this RfA in general make me think that this is a joke RfA. --Deathphoenix 17:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose, not enough experience yet. Also, please make a better use of edit summaries and consider participating more in the project space so that people who vote can be better assured that you are familiar with Wikipedia policies.  Keep contributing and happy editing! --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 18:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose per Deathphoenix. --Adrian Buehlmann 19:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose for lack of experience. &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-02-06 20:16Z

 * 5) Oppose: very premature. Jonathunder 21:05, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose - seems to be trying to take advantage of Wiki software to bump his own sites up search engines. This is not a user who needs more toys on this Wiki. (ESkog)(Talk) 21:54, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose, mostly per lack of experience, but also for misuse of process by trading nominations and support votes with Mrbowtie. Phædriel  ♥ tell me - 22:26, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose per above--Ugur Basak 00:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

 * 10) Oppose too new, begging for "votes" []. Mike (T C) [[Image:Star_of_life2.svg|20px]] 23:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Comments Neutral
 * 1) Juppiter 19:06, 6 February 2006 (UTC) Should resubmit in 3 months.  This has the sound of a joke-nom.


 * Edit summary usage: 0% for major edits and 10% for minor edits. Based on the last 4 major and 150 minor edits outside the Wikipedia, User, Image, and all Talk namespaces. Mathbot 17:30, 6 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 plan to wage a never ending war against Vandalism and eventually hope to destroy all vice. I'll help with speedy deletes and destroy patent nonsense before it kills us all!


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. My articles regarding Mac OS X and its applications have attracted enough attention to flourish into useful information stores and I am glad that they will help others.


 * 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 once tripped over another user, but apart from that, no user has ever caused me stress. I will endeavour to look where I am going in future, to avoid spiking myself on proverbial cacti etc.
