Extraordinary Machine

Final (71/1/0) ended 22:52, June 29, 2006 (UTC)

Extraordinary Machine (talk · contribs) – Extraordinary Machine is an excellent and dedicated user who has been here since early 2005. He has well over 10000 edits, numerous awards, and a great knowledge of policies. He frequently helps new users with editing questions and he has helped to promote many articles to featured status. It's about time we give him the mop! -- getcrunk ? 12:58, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept, with caution; I'll admit that I'm a little uncertain about this. However, if the community thinks that I'm ready, then I'll try my best. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 22:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

2. Support!!! While sometimes a little difficult to work with, Extraordinary is certainly extraordinary: he is knowledgable and works well with others. Would make a fantastic admin! —Eternal Equinox | talk 22:08, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
3. Support. Has a whole bunch of good edits and has a good knowlege of policy. -- Underneath-it-All 22:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

   Isn't it weird how RfAs come in waves? There hadn't been anything for a day and a half before that. --Rory096 23:14, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

7. Strong support. This user has been doing considerable and consistantly excellent cleanup work on popular music articles for many months. EM has proven to have good judgement, and familiarity with policy. There is no reason why this user shouldn't be able to carry out their own history merges, page moves over redirects, and vandal blocks. Just watch out for burnout, EM.

13. Support. Always uses edit summaries, good editor, ought to be an admin already. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 23:40, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
14. Support. I first came across EM some time ago in a debate over a FA removal candidacy for an article that he had been the contributor to. His response to criticism (which was fairly extensive) was excellent; he was measured and reasonable throughout and fully responsive to suggestions and comments, both negative and positive, without ever losing his cool. Full support. Badgerpatrol 00:14, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
