  3. Support per alphachimp. — MalcolmUse the schwartz! 01:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  4. Support. Poor orphan, give him a chance. (His mom and dad died at Y2K I suppose). Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:11, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Not enough edit counts to the project space, is not civil enough in messages to editors, refuses to reply to their queries, insufficient cowbell factor. Come back in a few months. --Iamunknown 01:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  2. Oppose, because it is liable for deletion. Admins should not be deleted. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 01:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  3. Oppose - tends to use boilerplate responses. Can be quite curt at times. Has 'bot' in the name so fails WP:U. Otherwise, an all around nice guy. Call back in a few months :) :) - Alison☺ 01:32, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  4. Oppose total rip-off of my Requests for adminship/Mathbot. I want credit for GFDL purposes. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 01:34, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  5. Oppose per all above, etc. Rlevse 01:36, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
    Oppose because I'm mean. — MalcolmUse the schwartz! 01:38, 1 April 2007 (UTC) Changed to support.
  6. Biting newbies = bad. Of course, bots can't understand that. – Chacor 01:41, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  7. Oppose - Not enough image edits for my standards. VegaDark 01:42, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  8. Oppose, too many edits in image and user talk namespace. ;)--Coredesat 01:45, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  9. Oppose ARgh! I'm Captain panda the panda pirate, and pirates don't like to get their images deleted!!!!!! Argh! ARgh!! ARGh!!! ARGH!!!! Captain panda In vino veritas 03:54, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  10. Oppose. Although a prolific editor, OrphanBot needs to contribute more to articles and their talk pages, in order to help build the encyclopedia, improve communication skills, and learn about interacting with users and handling disputes. I admire OrphanBot's dedication to the project though. Just how many other users are willing to continually work on Wikipedia without breaks? --Kyoko 05:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete

  1. Delete. --Deskana (ya rly) 01:42, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  2. Delete per Deskana's excellent rationale. I think we should promote Deskana to chief administrator immidiately. --DeskanaTest 01:44, 1 April 2007 (UTC) — DeskanaTest (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  3. Delete - Thanks for uploading User:OrphanBot. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged. As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:OrphanBot copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:OrphanBot copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged OrphanBots may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the OrphanBot is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the OrphanBot will be deleted 48 hours after 01:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the OrphanBot copyright questions page. Thank you. --BigDT 01:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
