Wikiacc
Final (18/0/0) ended 23:28, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

has proved worthy of adminship for a few months now. In #wikipedia, he mentioned starting a self nom. But, I'd like to nominate him instead, so maybe his nomination could fare better. Here you go, Wikiacc. --WikiFanaticTalk Contribs 23:28, 10 October 2005 (CDT)


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination below this line.
 * I accept. Wikiacc (talk) 21:28, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Support
 * 1) An obvious Support, as long as he accepts the nomination (which I'm sure he will, since he said he would.) --WikiFanaticTalk Contribs 23:28, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Support --Rogerd 01:06, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 6) Support CambridgeBayWeather 06:36, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) Weak support, I seem to remember seeing this user somewhere. &mdash; J I P | Talk 07:46, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Support lots of image work and user interaction seems civil. No evidence of campaigning (which, I've only just realised, creates difficulties for me).   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk   11:47, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 9)  →Jo urna list   >>talk<<  15:17, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 10) Support, though I haven't seen this user around. Christopher Parham (talk) 15:32, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 11) Fir  e  Fo  x  16:40, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 12) Support. I checked out a bunch of his edits to User Talk pages, and was uniformly impressed with how he dealt with other people.  I'm still trying to figure out why  =Nichalp   «Talk»=  stepped in and answered my question for the candidate (see below); I was interested in how the candidate answered, not a third party, but that won't stop me from giving my support to what looks like a fine candidate. --RoySmith 02:08, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't think it was a direct question to the candidate. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  19:28, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Support, I liked this comment on your talk page. Seem to be able to keep a cool head, a highly valued quality in my books. --Bjarki 02:31, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) -- (drini's page| &#x260E; ) 03:26, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Support. El_C 03:27, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Support because you are not User:Witkacy... Renata3 15:25, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) Support -- Francs2000 [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px| ]] 23:37, 16 October 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. I would work on clearing admin backlogs, such as WP:CP, AFDs, IFDs and old unsourced images, and make use of the rollback button for reverting vandalism.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I am pleased with LHC@home and Nix v. Hedden, both stubs that I created.
 * 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. As a less experienced user, I ran into conflict with User:Hpnadig over the usage of a template infobox at Kannada. The argument gradually faded. I have also been in conflicts with users over issues such as copyvio images and POV. I have responded to most conflicts in a civil manner and will do so in the future. (For more information, see my talk page and archive.)

Additional questions
 * 1) I'm curious about this edit.  Why did you think the picture was inappropriate?  It seems apropos to the article to me.  --RoySmith 00:03, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * He's justified in removing the link because it hotlinked to an image. Hotlinking images from another site is a waste of bandwidth of that site. This applies to all websites, not necessarily wikipedia. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  08:13, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Concur with Nichalp. Wikiacc (talk) 19:07, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
