NGerda edit
I am not the only one who works hard on wikinews, NGerda is another good example, he does some work with anti-vandalism as wella as contributes alot to wikinews articles.--Ryan524 18:34, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you very much Ryan524. I accept. If elected, I plan to use my powers wisely, for the better good of Wikinews. NGerda 18:40, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
- Support NGerda has been actively working to expand Wikinews, especially excellent work toward Audio Wikinews, as well as new articles, editing old, and main page maintenance. - / 18:55, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose Ngerda is a great writer, and his work on Audio Wikinews is excellent. I however do not think he understands enough of the Wikinews polices, to have the extra powers of an admin. He has been here for less then a month, with another month or two of experience he will make an excellent admin.--Cspurrier 13:33, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Support I've found NGerda to be very helpful in reviewing articles and assistance and encouragement to new members. Also, after watching Amgine do battle with a vandal the other day I think we need plenty Administrators. - Borofkin 02:25, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Support I can corroborate Borofkin's comment, and from my interaction w/him on mirc, he seems well-tempered for the job, which is always my biggest concern. - Kevin Baastalk 06:20, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose for now. NGerda seems to have joined the world of wikis only recently, and I would like him to gain more experience before giving him the tools of adminship. That doesn't mean that he isn't doing great work, of course.--Eloquence 06:44, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm almost on the bench about this, but I do feel NGerda needs to wait a while longer. If his enthusiasim for both the wiki and Admin status holds up for another month, i'd be delighted to support him - but at the moment, it is just too soon. → CGorman (Talk) 09:03, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]- SupportAfter seeing NGerda's work this morning fighting vandels; I think he deserves my support - we really need someone at their computer early in the morning (UTC) when Amgines away. → CGorman (Talk) 09:43, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Thank you very much, CGorman. I propose that there be an simple list of admins and the time frame, in UTC, they are available. That way, vandal fighters can easily contact the admin who is available at the moment, and we can figure out which time slots we need to fill in.
- I was thinking the same thing the other day. Why don't the admin post in /timeframes when they are available? That way, we can also try and get some admins for the timeframes that are left open. -- Redge (Talk) 20:02, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The only problem with this is it gives vandals a list of what times are best for them to attack. --Cspurrier 23:10, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- But it will help us see and fill in those gaps. NGerda 23:11, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
- Yes it seemed like a good idea until Cspurrier's excellent point - it would let the vandels know when to attack. I think now we are fairly well covered - we have Simeon and the bellman in Australia; Pingswept and Amgine in North America, Ronline in Romania, Dan100 in the UK and myself in Ireland. The biggest problem is when someone goes on holidays! → CGorman (Talk) 09:23, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Support I've found NGerda to be a very capable individual and as stated in the above posts, well-tempered. Jedimastermactreebeard 22:30, 1 June 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Support NGerda's a great contributor, his special reports are equally outstanding. Audio Wikinews was a sinking ship before he came along and salvaged it for another run, he as also attempted on many occasions to cut back spam and vandalism occuring to Wikinews' articles. I have no doubt he would be a great administrator who would help Wikinews out in any way possible. --Mrmiscellanious 00:37, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
