Where

Final (103/0/0) ended 21:22, July 2, 2006 (UTC)

I am pleased to be able to nominate Where for adminship. He was nominated before, but showed great maturity when he decided that he wasn't experienced enough and didn't accept the nomination. Now I feel that the time has come for him to be promoted and that he can be fully trusted with an admin's tools - let me tell you how. Although he has only been contributing since December, in this time he has made many constructive edits and has shown a clear understanding of policy and of how to encourage the development of Wikipedia. Where has been seen voting on AfDs and vandal fighting all over the place, and he is an active member of Esperanza. Where has also written numerous user scripts, and performed much stub sorting. He also did extensive work in the conversion of

Throwing in a co-nom for Where! He is very helpful and polite and has greatly contributed overall. Best of luck on your RfA! :) G.He 01:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept. -- Where 21:12, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support

1. The biggest support I've ever given (apart from possibly BD2412 and JoanneB). He's a wonderful user: kind, civil, helpful, useful. He's help me fix Linux repeatedy :P. I was thoroughly shocked when he said he wasn't an Admin and I'm honoured to have the first support. —Celestianpower ^háblame 21:18, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
