I would like to nominate myself to become an administrator mostly to stop vandalism more efficiently than I can now. I have been here since July 22, but I had been observing the process of using wikipedia beforehand. I have made about 400 edits so far. I have also created 32 new articles - about the rate of an article per day. Thank you for any support. Ionius Mundus 18:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak support. You have so far proved yourself to be a good editor, however a little more time and a few more edits would make you the perfect candidate. Billz (Talk) 17:43, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak oppose. We like to have longer than a month, and at least 500-1000 edits, before approving admins. Your edits and vandal fighting are good, though, although it takes practice to try to find the neutral middle ground, putting our personal opinions aside (I am looking at edit for example, where you wrote that Pinochet was a "brutal dictator", it may well be true but it still seems a little 'pov' way of putting it, and the guy is still alive! Maybe better to say he is "considered" a brutal dictator by so-and-so, or something...) I don't think that's a bar to adminship though, goodness knows I have done similar things myself... The important thing is that the power to delete, block and protect not be misused in a content dispute, but only for blatant vandalism or other rule breaking. Let's give it about two more months' worth of edits, then there will be less to object to on grounds of time spent, and I will happily reconsider my vote.

- As stated, I would use administrative privileges almost entirely for fighting vandalism. --Ionius Mundus 23:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak oppose. Blockinblox's reasons. Keep up the good work though. Archer7 - talk 21:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak support. More time is needed.-- Tdxiang 08:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak oppose. Certainly, you are a good editor, and show potential. However, i feel that your skills at editing (finding the middle ground, aka NPOV) could still become a little better if you edited a little more. It is like the taste of a bottle of a good wine, which often gets better with age. Age some more. -- Eptalon 09:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak support. You seem to have the potential to be a sysop, but needs a little bit more experience. --ยง Alastor Moody (talk + contribs) 23:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose. You seem like a nice person, but we need more track record before we can really see how you are doing. Try again in a couple months, after a few hundred more edits. --Cromwellt|talk|contribs 21:38, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Support but he must be present in simple.wikipedia!!! --Vector (write to me please) 07:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
