Bawolff (talk · contribs)

Nominating Bawolff for the 'crat position. We don't really need more bureaucrats, but I think another one couldn't possibly hurt. I think he's the most qualified admin for the position, having been around longer than many of us (started editing in 2005), and would in general make a good addition to the bureaucrat team. I was rather surprised he wasn't a bureaucrat already. tempo divalse 17:55, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

Do you accept the nomination? tempo divalse 17:55, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

wow, I was not expecting this at all. I would be honored if the community feels I could fulfill this position. It should be noted that I am less active now than I used to be, but if the community feels i am active enough, than I certainly accept this nomination. Bawolff ☺☻ 22:15, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Question: Is the difference between an administrator and a bureaucrat the same as on Wikipedia? It appears the bureaucrat page on Wikinews redirects to the admin page, which is kind of confusing. Cheers, Van der Hoorn (talk) 18:26, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Effectively, yes. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 19:42, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, then I know what I'm voting for. :) Cheers, Van der Hoorn (talk) 19:47, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It has already been ten days since this RfB started, I think it can safely be closed now. tempo divalse 22:33, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I am inclined to leave it run for 14 days, as it is an RfB and not to many people have commented on it yet, imho Brian | (Talk) | ^{New Zealand Portal} 01:32, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support — Dunno how many Bureaucrats we need, but Bawolff would make a good one if we need to add to their numbers. Gopher65_talk 04:27, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
