Oppose:

1. No offense meant toward Mark. But IMHO, I feel he still needs more experience in our community. Kingturtle 17:32, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

   Sheesh, Kingturtle. You're a hard nut to crack. You seem to consistently reject nominees for being too new. What's the minimum of time you think is enough? Or is it also a function of numbers of edits, or types of edits? (I don't mean this agressively. I'm delaying my own vote until I read your answer). --Woggly 18:37, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

   Uh ... Don't you mean hard shell? Sorry, can't ignore a straight line. Anyway, I think KT once said something like four months and 3,000 edits. I'm sure he'll correct me. -- Cecropia | Talk 15:08, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

   3,000 edits is about twice as much as what I would assess establishes a solid editor. Anwyay, I'm not going to wait for Kingturtle to answer, I've explored Marks record and it looks okay to me, I'm supporting this nomination. Woggly 06:24, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Neutral:

1. Lots of experience but over a comparitively short time. Certainly a few months from now I'd support EddEdmondson 06:55, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Comments: Nominated before in May, nomination failed on account of being "too new". --Woggly 18:37, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

A few standard questions for admin candidates, if you care to respond:

1. Have you read the section on Administrators?
2. Are you interested in, and do you think you'll have some time to perform, the chores that only sysops have access to do, to help keep Wikipedia up to date?
3. If you become a sysop, which sysop chore or chores (WP:VFD, recent changes, watching for vandals and vandalism, responding to editor requests for assistance, any other) do you especially think you would be able to help with.

Thanks and good luck. -- Cecropia | Talk 14:16, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

User has 2111 edits as of this comment and has been around since February 17. [2] -- Grunt (talk) 14:58, 2004 Jul 2 (UTC)

Standard questions - can you give us an example of any edit wars you have been involved in and how you acted during them, or ways you have "been involved in the community", etc etc? →Raul654 17:34, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)

Questions 1 and 2, yes and yes. Question 3- I'm happy to do whatever needs to be done. Being in an Asian time zone, probably my most useful ability is being awake to keep an eye on things when Americans and Europeans are asleep. ;-) Edit wars: probably only Liancourt_Rocks, where I'm pretty confident I was on the side of the angels. My most active involvement outside "my" articles has been on FAC- I've done quite a bit of copyediting on candidates. Markalexander100 08:44, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
