Chris Mann edit

Chris Mann (talk · contribs) has been a steady positive contributor to this project for almost a year now, since August 2007. I often see Chris pitching in and helping out, sometimes even answering questions and "acting as if" an admin already. I am nominating Chris Mann for consideration for adminship.

Comments edit

Comment - Do you accept this nomination? Cirt (talk) 03:57, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. I think I know the ropes well enough to handle it, and would appreciate being able to do admin tasks myself rather than having to report them and wait for someone to come along (and with the huge gap in time zones between me and the majority of admins, that can sometimes be a while).

Comment - If you successfully become an Admin, will you help out with admin tasks such as archiving articles older than seven days and Proposed deletions? Cirt (talk) 03:57, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No point in having the tools if you aren't going to use them :) I'll even try to check WN:DR for requests that might need closure. Chris Mann (Say hi!|Stalk me!) 00:47, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Votes edit

Support - Per my nom and answers to my questions. Cirt (talk) 00:54, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support A very good candidate, already doing as much administrative work as he can without the tools. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 00:56, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support I've admired his work and dedication for a while now, and I think he would be a good administrator. Mike Halterman (talk) 11:18, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support A user who has got to know the project well enough that he is "hitting the ceiling" that not being a sysop has. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 11:48, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support So me misidentifying you as an admin in the ArbCom election seems to be more like a premonition than a mistake. --SVTCobra 23:11, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I can't see a reason why not! --Skenmy^(t•c•w) 06:36, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
