The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a successful request for reconfirmation. Please do not modify it.

User:Brianmc edit

I'd like a reconfirmation prior to adding Category:Admins open to recall to my user page. Yes, I've been a slacker on the news front - but I'd like to think I still have the support of the community for the work I do do. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 17:59, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments/Questions edit

As an elaboration [to my vote below], I see you primarily as a facilitator within Wikinews, doing the Jobs we Hate (tm). It's jobs like these that need doing, as much as writing the news. --Skenmy^{(t•c•w•i)} 18:06, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I didn't get admin on my first nomination and the community has - almost totally - changed since then. I started out with the "this is neat - and easier to find somewhere to 'play' than Wikipedia" approach and settled on researching Thailand and covering articles for there. I think I did a good job of covering the troubles in the south of the country until I discovered that there were huge administrative backlogs on some of those - as you say - Jobs We Hate (TM). Starting on the archiving process probably changed my focus on the wiki to how it can act as a historical archive - hence things like people categories. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 18:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support, most certainly. Wikinews needs predominantly-janitors as well as predominantly-article-writers, especially those we can trust and who have a proven record like you. Daniel 06:21, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
