Gopher65 edit

Gopher65 (talk · contribs) has been a great contributor to Wikinews since July. He has made over 1100 edits since then and does just about everything including copyediting, reviewing, adding new materials to developing articles, and is also a great reviewer. Gopher65 has created several articles but also has been involved in template designs. I believe the project would benefit by having Gopher65 as an admin. --PatrickFlaherty (talk) 00:20, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Questions edit

Do you accept this nomination? --PatrickFlaherty (talk) 00:20, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- He's on wikibreak, but it looks like he accepts the nom from this diff. ♪TempoDiValse♪ 15:29, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, I accept. I don't return home until Jan 4th, so I may not reply until then. Gopher65_talk 14:38, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Question- If you successfully become an Admin, will you help out with admin tasks such as archiving articles older than seven days and Proposed deletions? --PatrickFlaherty (talk) 00:20, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I can be an anally organized person, so I would certainly help with archiving and closing DRs, time permitting. I can't promise I'd singlehandedly archive everything of course;). Gopher65_talk 14:38, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Do you currently, or have you ever, had the intention to take over the world, and establish yourself as the autocratic dictator of the world?Bawolff ☺☻ 01:26, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If so, is this simply the first step? Bawolff ☺☻ 01:26, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - One of my long-held goals is to take over the world for all hyper-intelligent genetically engineered gopher-kind, stopping both Brain the mouse and Snowball the Hamster in the process. You should all thank me for this service (and bow). Gophers will be far more benevolent masters of the world than our mouse or hamster brethren. Gopher65_talk 14:38, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments edit

Comment - Three votes before user has stated whether or not they will accept the nomination - this should really wait. Cirt (talk) 01:44, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
