Flcelloguy (talk · contribs) - This is probably the most newbie-friendly user I've seen on Wikipedia. This user could also make great use of admin tools in vandalism patrol. Y0u (Y0ur talk page) (Y0ur contributions) 19:42, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Thank Y0u. I would be honored to be made an administrator by the Wikipedia community. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 19:44, 1 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  5. Strong support - very willing to work together, has done fine work in building the music section. Has carefully helped resolve a standing issue already; I believe he would make a fine admin. Schissel : bowl listen 19:59, August 1, 2005 (UTC) (Edit: I believe at least two vote-in-favor edits - one is still in the history - were lost, not retracted, while you were answering the questions! :) )

  11. Support. I love you Flcelloguy. Also a friend of Y0u is a friend of Redwolf24. Redwolf24 01:21, 2 August 2005 (UTC) pffft not even a thank you for that enthusiastic support? Redwolf24 03:45, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  12. Support. And a friend of Redwolf's is a friend of mine (about 3 degrees of wiki separation there). Good edit counts, and he's been around just as long as I, giving me hope. :) Good luck! -mysekurity 04:35, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  13. Support I would feel a little bit better if you had been here a little longer, but you've got everything else going for you. I see you all the time at Clueless Newbies. You would definitely benefit from sysop rights. Ryan 05:48, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
  14. Strong Support Friendly and trustworthy--Exir KamalabadiLeave me a note! 09:31, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
  15. Cool.--JuntungWu 12:40, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  16. Support. Would use admin tools wisely; has more edits than many who have been here much longer. --Scimitar parley 14:07, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  17. Support - an outstanding wikipedian. Rob Church 17:21, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  18. Support. Most of the time, a short activity time leads me to ponder my vote quite carefully, but this is not the case here. I fully offer my support to this editor's nomination and believe he will become an outstanding admin. --Sn0wflake 18:44, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  19. Support I thought he was an admin already, I see him everywhere. Karmafist 20:35, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  20. Support, a valuable contributor who would make an even more valuable admin. Hall Monitor 22:19, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  21. Support. Hasn't been here long, but I see him helping out doing mop-and-bucket type things all over, and always friendly and civil, too; give him the tools. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 00:33, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  22. Support as per Sn0wflake for many consistent, quality contributions, even in a relatively short time span. Fire Star 02:38, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  25. Support Stewart Adcock 10:23, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  26. Support, I like what I see, and this shouldn't be a big deal anyway. --Spangineer (háblame) 13:57, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
  27. Support Time isn't an issue, since edits speak louder than words, and words louder than seniority. Wikipedia would benefit with a mop in Flcelloguy's hands. Bratschetalk 5 pillars 15:04, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
  28. Yes. Radiant_>|< 20:24, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
  29. Support. I've seen him on the help desk a lot, answering questions. Hermione1980 22:07, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  30. Support as a non-vandal and a fun-loving Wikipedian. kmccoy (talk) 02:56, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  31. Support; everything I've seen is good. Hasn't been here long, but I see him around a lot and I trust him. Antandrus (talk) 04:03, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  32. Support per reasons above. -JCarriker 06:03, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
  33. Support 3 months is long enough (and a looong time to devote to a free project). Anyway, supposively you're not really supposed to make many edits to an article at once and use the preview button instead, but then I do the same thing to a somewhat lesser degree so of course I'm going to support :). --RN 06:26, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  34. Support. Friendly and civil, good quality edits. Nothing indicates any concern about abuse of admin powers. Jayjg (talk) 21:27, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  35. Support. Three months is fine. Carbonite | Talk 21:29, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  36. Meelar (talk) 21:29, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
  37. Keep. Er, too much time on VfD. You know what I mean. --Dmcdevit·t 21:48, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
  38. Support. Good contributor to VfD. android79 04:38, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
  39. Support. If I recall correctly, I was nominated for adminship just over three months after I started editing Wikipedia, and I had only a thousand edits. — Knowledge Seeker 07:30, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
  40. Musical support. JFW | T@lk 22:50, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  41. Support. He's been here long enough to demonstrate he's a good editor, understands policy, and is cordial to others, particularly newbies. --MPerel ( talk | contrib) 02:50, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

  1. Oppose Three months is not enough. Dmn / Դմն 12:33, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose. Per Dmn; three months is too short. siafu 23:56, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral

  1. Neutral I would definately vote support, but the user hasn't been here long enough yet. Thunderbrand 04:36, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
  2. The user's great work notwithstanding, with less than three months here, just not enough experience for Adminship. I would support in a while from now, when he's been around for four or five months. Solid work. Redux 05:36, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Great contributor but I would still prefer a few more weeks of experience. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 00:12, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Neutral--Cyberjunkie | Talk 14:47, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

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. Being trusted with the powers of an administrator would be a huge help for me. I currently do a lot of RC patrolling — I "specialize" in newpages patrol, where I tag a large quantity of pages with speedy deletes. Being able to delete them immediately would be useful and would also help reduce the occasional backlogs on speedy deletes. In addition, I sometimes do run into persistant- and annoying- vandals, and after various futile warnings, have reported them on WP:AIV, where they have been blocked. Also, having the "revert" buttom would also become handy when I do "regular" RC patrolling. Finally, I would be able to help out the WP:VfD backlog. Of course, I would use all the admin powers carefully- I will never violate the trust the community has given me.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I am proud of all my contributions, as all of them, no matter how minor they are, help contribute towards Wikipedia. However, there are several contributions I feel stand out: xiangqi, which I nominated and pushed to become a featured article, and competition, which I edited as part of the cleanup taskforce. Finally, I am also proud of my role in Wikipedia:Clueless newbies.
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 respect everyone's opinion, and I value every bit of advice given to me. I am always open to opinions, and will always be polite. That being said, I have not had any major conflicts. The only "conflict" I can think of is with User:Giano regarding Boothy443's mass opposition vote; however, I feel that I acted politely, and both of us (I believe) carry no hard feelings. It was actually more of a constructive discussion rather than a dispute.
