The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a withdrawn request for adminship.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

Jason Safoutin edit

Jason (a.k.a DragonFire 1024) already does some adinistrative type functions. I have observed him marking articles, welcoming new users and tidying up around the place. He is a valuable member of the community and I feel he would be a valuable addition to our administration team - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 02:20, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

~~I gladly accept nomination :) Jason Safoutin 02:25, 16 March 2006 (UTC)~~[reply]

I withdrawl my request for admin. due to the fact that some administrators believe their voice is more important than the community's. Until some admins. can learn to work with the community, then I will gladly accept any nomination. Jason Safoutin 02:13, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The user has a history of disruptive disputes, difficulties with collaborative editing. I do not feel I could trust this user, personally. - Amgine | ^{talk en.WN} 02:28, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I cannot support the user at this time. Perhaps in a few months when he has had more time to become known by the community as a calm and level headed administrator. He is simply to new to Wiki. -Drew 03:38, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Already shows a great knowledge of policy, probably more than even some current administrators. Is a strong editor, which is what we need more of in the administrator field. Also is a great asset helping out our vandalism issues right now, and doing an awesome job in his Original Reporting field. By far, one of the best newcomers I have ever seen here on this wiki. He's ready. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 03:55, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Very poor grasp of NPOV. StrangerInParadise 07:13, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. --SonicR 22:29, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. International 22:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support. I think he might be ready... might be.. the issues brought up are true, maybe they can be worked out. --TUFKAAP 22:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support hes done some very good things. I have to agree with mrm - By far, one of the best newcomers I have ever seen here on this wiki. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:17, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Self-serving promotion of stories produced largely by his own efforts will end in... promotion of wiki-goals? -Edbrown05 09:15, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not sure I understand your definition of "self-serving". He's covering an issue in depth that no other news outlet is covering; isn't that kind of the point? irid:t 17:53, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

...it is original research, can you say from his declaration what conflict-of-interest he may have in the story? StrangerInParadise 22:21, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I see clear improvements, but there is still some ways to go before I can trust that he will make a good administrator. --vonbergm 17:04, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Regrettably Oppose I think Jason is still too quick to anger when a dispute arises. He is, however, an excellent contributor who, should he grow a thicker skin, and a less sharp tongue, would make an excellent administrator. Jason, I got knocked back first time too so don't take this as sufficient discouragement to leave the project. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 20:03, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Lack of trust.--Eloquence 04:37, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Jason has done a great deal of work on Wikinews. He has focused on original reporting and represents the cornerstone of what the goal of independant media is; quality reporting on events and issues the mainstream media is not interested in. He is ready and able to be responsible for ensuring quality articles on Wikinews. irid:t 16:06, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Jason has a great history of writing articles for Wikinews, especially that Buffalo hotel series he's be writing about: that's signs of a good journalist! I think he can handle administrative duties, but I'm worried that it'll decrease the amount of time he has for writing. —MESSEDROCKER (talk) 20:17, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for now. Very enthusiastic, but needs to develop better judgement and tact to be a worthy admin IMO. -- Avenue 02:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support no specific comments about him Jacques Divol 13:13, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
